Does anyone have any ideas of how to suck less juice out of the battery? I'm on EP5 with tweaked ROM.

Also noticed that when the phone gives notifications, the screen lights up and displays the pattern screen. Some times it does not shut off. I have CPU spy and the phone hardly ever goes deep sleep. usually stays at 100mhz.

If I could fix this one problem, I'd be happy with the phone.

depends on what kind of life you are getting/expecting?

with Juice Defender, I can go all day (just about, really 16 hours with moderate use). without JD, I get about 12-14 hours with moderate/light use. this is with WiFi, mobile data, and bluetooth on all the time (JD does disable mobile data when wifi is connected, but still "holds" a connection). I know this is the case b/c when I leave the phone unplugged at night (8 hours), my phone will drain about 23% with mobile data on and wifi connected. with me manually turning mobile data off, it will drain ~7%.

regarding screen wakes, what kind of notifications are causing the screen to turn on? for mine, the only time the screen turns on is when I have a call or battery is fully charged/hits the 15/5% triggers.

do you have BLN enabled?
