ICS Frustration

---

So I've been alternating between multiple ICS roms and Bamf gb and I just can't stay with Ics. I absolutely love all the ICS roms, but my battery life won't get me through a work day. Even with data off and only sending a few text messages it lasts about 6 hours. I first used the ics firmware and one of the older ics leaks and had horrible battery life. I just tried the newest leak with gb fw and still its horrible. Am I doing something wrong? Why is my battery half of what it was on gb?

In short why can't I have good battery life on ICS?

In short: because its not done yet, which is why they haven't released it yet.

Why do so many people claim they get the same or equal battery life? With so much fairly polished in it I wish battery life was better.

My battery life is just fine on ICS and I have no heat problems either.... but its definitely been very hit or miss.

There are probably a few different hardware revisions out by now, and the various issues are probably affecting only certain phones and not others because of slight differences between them.

If you are one of those people who are having problems, best thing you can do is wait until HTC releases the final ICS build..

any idea why text messages would cause reboots on ICS ROM's?

it shouldn't period. never had that happen. sounds like a bad flash,dirty flash
nsd combination of radios/firmware or a mix. I'd backup, run the latest ruu,clear/reset through bootloader,flash newest amon recovery,wipe everything,flash rom/kernel and firmware patch depending on which you chose. if using new firmware use the 5/2 radios to reduce heat. hopefully you're s-off to do all that
