Bad Battery Life?

---

I'm having really bad battery life. I don't know what it is. When I reboot my phone it will take 10% of my battery. Also my phone will use about 10% of the battery just sitting there.

Is there anything that might improve my battery life? It might be always awake and I don't know about it. IDK.

Also I'm using DarchDroid ROM.

But I don't think it is the ROM for my batter life has been pretty bad on all ROM's.

Thanks

I started seeing much better battery life when I stopped using systray monitor, if you use it try going a day without it.

ALSO have you calibrated your battery??? This is essential if you have wiped battery stats in recovery. I mistakenly thought it was good to wipe everything before flashing a rom so that's what I did, wiped everything every time I flashed a rom. Little did I know I was jacking my battery usage up by throwing the gauge off by wiping the batt stats.


That's all I got, hope it helps

Try different radios. The stock radio from 1.5 just drained my battery. I use a Verizon radio. I get much better battery life. Just try them out for a day each.

Thanks guys for everything. I'm really tired. Not in the right mind I guess.

Only thing I want to ask now. Is if anyone can tell me which one is best in the Dallas area.

But I can find that out on my own I suppose.
