Smile My suggestion...

is to try Nitro's EC01 Rom, as well as Nemesis2all's updated kernel (Which gives you the ability to change volt settings, speed, etc) which can really improve your battery life.

Ya I would say try Nitro's Evil Fascination ROM and Nemesis2all's kernel as well. My battery life is pretty good without messing with the voltage. If you're still not getting great battery life you should a) download Juicedefender. The free version does an amazing job for me or b) do some research and try to adjust the voltage settings.

I just started using Active Apps from the market. I guess it's a Samsung product that you can use to replace Task Manager. Whenever I don't use it, my battery drains real quick, and without a specific pattern. When I use Active Apps, and use the Ram Manager level 2 kill, my battery drain instantly gets much lower. 5 hours unplugged yesterday only drained my battery like 11%. Compared to up to 30% otherwise. Hope this helps others too!

How long after battery calibration should I see a difference?

I need to reiterate what has been said: first, install Juice Defender and learn to tweak those settings, it's well worth it. Second, undervolt that puppy with Nemesis2all's latest kernel. At idle, my phone might last 48 hours [not tested].

I only ask because when I recalibrated my battery (charged fully, wiped stats, drained battery, fully charged with phone off) my battery life is worse
