Holy battery sucking powers, Batman.

Ok guys, I finally took the time to unshackle myself from Eclair (JM8 with optimized JM8+Voodoo kernel) and flashed Doc Froyo 7.5 JPO ROM, JPP modem and YA-OK kernel.

I decided to flash the *supposedly* better and more power efficient JPD modem because I had some weird problems with my calls and Wifi on JPP (Wifi would turn on but sometimes refuse to connect, calls would mysteriously go on Hold mid conversation). But now JPD seems to be a real power sucker. 8am - 6pm with minimal usage and battery is down to a piddly 51% remaining (3G, background sync, Facebook/Twitter every 3 hours, everything else off)

Anyone with a similar setup? How's your battery life?.. damn I hate this phone.

Thanks for the patronizing tone. But on JM8 with the same setup (3G enabled, etc), I was getting better mileage from a single charge. I'm basing my expectations off my experience with Eclair. If this is what's considered normal for Froyo, sure, I can live with it. I just needed to know that this is within normal power consumption parameters.

And hell no, it's ridiculous to have spent this much money to just use 2G. That's crap and you know it.

When you say calibrate my battery, do you mean I should wipe battery stats? If so, how would that improve power consumption rate?

That's darned good battery life; about on par with what I was getting on Eclair. I find that the JPD modem is really efficient over Wifi but tends to suck power like crazy when you enable 3G. Despite the battery drain that I sometimes encounter, Doc's ROM flies - so much so that I'm no longer experiencing significant lags.
