Battery life on your thunderbolt

I was using the extended battery ( which was great), but I got tired of the hump and no case. I went back to the standard and would have to charge my phone about twice a day and would always have to use the car charger when in the car. I finally got the Rezound battery and I was surprised how much longer my phone lasted! It def added about 4 hr to a days use and can now go all day without a charge. I am only using 3G with wifi at home since I don't have too much need for 4G, but will use it to stream movies/shows on my phone. The Rezound battery is def worth the $19.99 I paid for it, I'll actually recommend to people to get the Rezound battery for the Tbolt.

Mine's rooted running Bamf Forever 1.10. I also have SetCPU to underclock the CPU when the screen's off, plus I don't remember the name of the app, but one that shuts the mobile network off when the screen shuts off.

I use mine a moderate amount throughout the day and get roughly 10 to 13 hours before it gets to 30%. I rarely use 4G, but lately I've been testing it with 4G on all the time, and I'm getting similar battery life times. I'm on wifi at home most of the time, though, so that helps a lot.
