battery life is over 24 hrs with same usage as the evo on which id get about 30, but it was rooted and kerneled to hell and back. The s-on thing is buggin me... I re downloaded the .tar file and installed again via odin which gave me the success message (again). I tried running it on a different usb cable, and diff usb port. No dice. I left my blackberry usb cable at work, so ill grab that tomorrow and try it to see if the bberry cable makes any difference. In the meantime, i guess i could try to run odin on one of my roomies computers (hes got 3) and see if its my compy thats causing the issue. Who knows at this point cuz as brent stated, the bootloader isnt locked, so theres no conceivable reason for the exploit to not take... ugh LoL oh, the device status shows modified now instead of normal, so i guess thats progress LoL!!!
