Leaked update - my experience

---

I have got to say, I finally feel like I can use my phone without having to be concerned with the battery the entire time. Ever since I got this phone I have always been reserved about usage due to the battery literally draining right before my eyes. I could watch as the phone would drop 2-3% in just moments of use.

Yesterday, I had the phone unplugged and on 4G with normal use for 11 hours and still had about 30% battery. This is very acceptable and much improved. I've literally lost 27% in an hour and a half with very little to no use at all, so I am super pleased with my results. Just thought I would share.

Care to share your setup?

please do..I am getting 6 hours on 3g wit my thunderbolt

I have been running BAMF 1.5 since it came out, with the updated radio and the stock kernel that it comes with. I unplugged my phone at 10am this morning at 6 hours later I am at 91% I had one reboot yesterday, and it dropped to about 85% and plugged it in last night at around 70ish%...so far so good.

Within that six hour period, how often did you actually use your phone?

I am just running the leaked update, no ROM flashed over at all. It is rooted but thats about it. I have JuiceDefender - free set to the "balanced" setting. This is why I am so excited, no other types of managers or automated processes. GPS is on all the time and wifi was off during that 11 hour period.

Another comment is, it stays connected to 4G SO MUCH BETTER. It used to hang up on me all the time then drop to 3G after 10-20 seconds. Now its just 4G pretty much all the time except my house where I seem to only get 3G really, but I have wifi setup so I am not concerned.

Prior to loading the leaked radio and installing BAMF 1.5, I would leave my phone on my side table at night with around 90% battery or so and by morning it would be down to under 10%. This happened repeatedly and was with it configured to use my wifi.

Now with both installed, I wake up and find my battery no lower than 75%.

I may just have to give Juice Defender a go. I've been hearing only good things about it.

a couple of texts, facebook browsing, email checking, and a phone call, all in 4G area, I would say light use...
