Well its the same way on di18. Stop omadrm from running. Toggle airplane mode after bootup to keep tws down, keep screen brightness down,use wifi if available, don't have alot of apps set to sync. Also a big saver in froyo is you can turn 3g off.

2.2 battery life
After I did the update.zip to 2.2 my battery life was horrid.
Since then I have removed startup auditor which blocked the DRM service from starting and my battery life has doubled and is now great. In 2.1 preventing all DRM increaded my battery life. Not sure what was causing the issue in 2.2 but things are fine now.
I also do the airplane mode toggle on startup.
How do you stop the drm service permanently?

To be honest I haven't killed DRM yet, and I've had pretty good battery life. A lot better than when I was on 2.1 and on the Epic Experience kernel. I do the airplane mode toggle, cause TWS was killing my battery. It was about 50% TWS when I didn't do the toggle.

I agree. I am fully stock with nothing blocked and right now as I type I have about a quarter of the battery left going on 59 hours. This its light use with 2.5 hours of screen on time. A few calls, texting,xda, market checks and music playing. I could not do that on 2.1
I forgot to mention that wifi and gps has been enabled the entire time.

I have seen on here people saying they have had their phone on for 59 hours, 48, 36 ect. My question is how much of this time are you actually using the phone and how much of this time is overnight while you and the phone sleep. These numbers seem outrageous to me. I had the hero before this and never have I ever gotten even close to this. My phone was fully charged at 8:03 lat night and has been off the charger for 13 plus hours and is at 75%. Only about 1 1/2 hours have I actually used the phone and this with bluetoothe on. It went from 100 to 89 over night doing nothing with BT, wifi, and gps off.

Like I said this is light use. The screen has been on for 2 hours and 40 minutes. And I haven't been awake for 62 hours so some of this time is sleep time. It has been to sleep for two nights so about 16 hours. I have done some texting, web, phone calls, xda forums, market checks and music. My battery low notification has gone off and I am now at 62 hours. But my point is even with light use on DI18 I could not get close to that number. So to me EB13 is much better on battery. Although I think Bluetooth is hosed. When I was using my bluetooth it was draining much much faster and was way worse then DI18 on battery.

Maybe BT is my problem. I use it about 95% of the time. Thanks for responding
Wifi being enabled actually reduces battery usage if you are connected to a wifi network.

How do you turn 3g off without turning WiFi or 4g on?
SprintAndroidExtension
The single thing I have done that seems to have most affected battery life is to remove SprintAndroidExtension. I just moved the apk from '/system/app' to '/system/app.disabled'.
Spare Parts battery history was showing that my phone was running nearly 80% of the time before this, and 15-20% of the time after, though my testing hasn't exactly been rigorous. I'd be curious to see if others see the same results.

What does TWS mean? And what does airplane mode have to do with it?
AND THEN, when the phone restarts it has more than 50 % battery.
WTF.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Are you running stock, di18, eb13, eco5? More details please!

sorry, was just wondering if anyone else had this happen, running eb13 viper rom.
This has happened to me, at the
time I had syndicate 1.0.2. It did a soft reboot and didn't actually hang up till my phone finished rebooting. The whole time well it was on the booting video the call still worked. Then it booted to the lockscreen and the call ended.
Reminds me of my palm pre.

Hey, they called this phone the "Epic" for a reason, it only does things in epic proportions.
I've had that problem on the EB13 Syndicate, then today one the EC05 Syndicate... I fixed it last time, but can't remember how. I just wiped battery stats and did calibration, so I will let you know if that did it.
this happens to me whenever i get a phone call and i have less than 15% battery. it has happened on EVERY rom i have used

yup. It's annoying as F - I have to cut the person off and say "My battery is dead I'll call you back" as fast as possible.
Then the phone reboots and it has 30+ % battery.

Are you running SetCPU or an Undervolt settings? When a battery gets to a low percentage, the voltage is lower so any undervolt settings will actually be even lower and the phone will crap out. At 40% my phone would not wake and totally black out, needed to pull battery. Found out I had undervolted 200 Mhz by 100 mV. Pushed that back to zero and no more problems.
It could also be a bad battery, especially with the varying percentage from reboots like that.
no undervolt. Just whatever the rom+ kernal settings are is what I run.
I should get the new battery this week. Hopefully that'll fix the problems

You are running the kernel supplied with Syndicate or something else?
Do you BONSAI?
Yes blame the phone for everything when running a custom rom
I've been running EE03 since it was leaked.
The reason I stuck with it was because I saw EXCELLENT battery life (compared to SRF1.0.2. which I was running previusly) with the same usage (for me)..
Gingerbread was laggy at times, had some minute bugs that were tolerable (during my usage patterns) but I fell in love with the battery life.
On SRF 1.0.2 I would put my phone in airplane mode overnight to keep the battery from dying while i slept.. while it was a workaround (for me) it wasn't the most desirable solution.. I felt adventurous one night while on GB and left the phone sitting, no airplane mode, just to see how far the battery would drop compared to SRF... i only lost 5% overnight.. THAT was the ticket for me.. so i kept it and ran it.. haven't flashed a thing since.. no new apps, no new configurations.. it was working beautifully (as well as a leaked build could be expected to ) .. but it was very tolerable for me..
Until the last couple days... I noticed (all of a sudden) that while I'm sitting next to my computer, phone plugged in to charge before bed, the phone would disconnect/reconnect to the computer.. it would make that sound when you plug it in.. it would do this no matter what percent of charge it had.. for no rhyme or reason... I wiggled the cord in both the phone and computer in case the cord was to blame.. nothing.. i couldn't 'force replicate' this anomaly.. Further, at night around 4 in the morning the phone would vibrate and pop up that it was going to die, please plug in charger... the second night, I put the phone in airplane mode overnight and I STILL got the pop up at 3am that it was going to die...
So I decided (at 11:30) last night to ODIN back to EC05, then root w/ CWM 3.0.2.5. and flash SRF 1.1.1 .... I'll see how it goes.. hopefully battery life on this build is better than what I experienced on 1.0.2 lol...
Sorry for the long post.. I just wanted to share my frustration and see if anyone else had this weird anomaly w/ EE03.
/venting and pissing off the rest of XDA for long post
ive had the same problems with the disconnect/reconnect sound off. on top of what you have mentioned i have also had the problem of the phone being fully charged but showing the red charge light instead of the blue fully charged light. additionally the phone seems to get much more hot on this rom, i can simply be playing a game or something and the phone will get so hot that the charging is forced to be stopped, never had this problem untill the ee03,

I had the same issues , I was worried my phones charging port might be damaged but a quick flash back to srf proved it was the EE03 rom
Besides that, everything ran perfectly for me.

I've had problems with the phone not charging all the way. It will show 100% charge and then stop charging. When you unplug, it then shows the actual battery level, which has been as low as 35%. I've tried lots of things like wiping battery stats, but it keeps happening randomly.
EE03 is still fairly buggy. Some days my battery life is fantastic. Other days, it drains like a sieve. Even when I have fairly similar issues. Seems to correspond to how "hot" the phone is running that day. Also, phone calls just eat battery life.
going back to EC05 too... gonna be a long few weeks (hopefully only that). Awesome, just too hot, buggy, and I get PISSPOOR battery life.... but I have horrible reception at home, and even using roam control it still sucks down the juice. Also, I cant remember, is the settings process supposed to be permanenty running??? mine is, maybe that explains the settings not sticking... go samsprint go!
Its going to be hard for me to leave EC05. Full bars on my 4G. Wifi Tether is insanely fast and reliable. Bluetooth pairs properly. This has been the best modem for me by a mile

initially, I was getting stellar battery life, but the last couple days of using it, I noticed my phone getting hot. I have no idea why things were slick as snot for a long time, then it all went to hell in a handbasket.. good thing is it's easy enough to change to something else LOL (thanks Epic Devs )
EE03 has been strange for me at times. I've noticed when it's charging and it makes the charging sound, the battery life will be terrible the next time I take it off. However, if I just reboot it, it usually stops making the sound at random times, and the battery life is giving me 12+ hours/day.

So true. The first day of switching over to it I got over a days worth of battery but lately it hasn't been that awesome though it is still better than it was before
The first time this happened to me I figured it was a fluke. Now I've had a third time where in mid phone call my Epic has "thought" it's battery was drained to 0 and hung up my call then proceeded to shut down. The first time was in a busy train station in Chicago, don't remember the situation the second, and today was when I got another call beeping in while I was on the line. Each time when I booted the phone back up it showed plenty of life left on the battery.
Has anyone else experienced this or could it be my phone? I wish I could remember specifics from the first two occurrences, but I believe it could have been a call waiting situation as well.
FWIW, I'm on the MTD CleanGB 1.0.3 rom.
Does it go through a shut down or is it just off? If it is just off may be loose battery connections. Oh you said it shut down on the call....maybe it was a modem crash. Try reflashing a modem.

It actually goes through the shutdown. Does the low battery double beep and pop up, then says shutting phone down.
Might need to wipe the battery stats then re-calibrate the battery. Mine has done this before, but I'm pretty sure it was from throwing the battery at my wall.

Quite possible. I think I didn't bother calibrating the last couple of times I've flashed a ROM. Going to go ahead and do that and hopefully it doesn't happen again.

This used to happen to me ALL the time. It was so frustrating, as soon as it hit 15% if I was talking it'd shut right down. Thankfully flashing the new GB roms seems to have fixed the problem. I sure hope it doesn't happen in CM7
I have this issue regardless of rom. Happens when on a call and low battery alert sounds.
Well, just did it to me again. I calibrated the battery after upgrading to the latest MTD cleanGB yesterday. I was in a building that had poor signal granted, but same thing dropped call, low battery popped up and it shutdown. I had 60% battery left.
Loving this update even more. Yesterday installed update and usually my phone would drain 3-5% each hour not in use but today. My phone was stuck at 98% when I came back from 2 1/2hr meeting, I was amazed.
Also noticed the startup sound is now muted when in silent. It wasn't a big deal before but nice change.
Camera appears to be a little more snappier as well .

CDMA is a fallback if you lose LTE. Sounds like tower trouble in your area.
I had full 4G here before update...after I get this! If I turn off WiFi..I basically can't use my phone! BTW I just did a factory reset and cleared cache..
It sounds like you are having tower issues in your area.
i noticed before the patch when i took my phone off charger it would drop to 99% battery right away, now it actually takes a bit before it drops.
this seemed to be a legit patch for little bug fixes.
The battery seems a little better for me too.

what doesnt seem right? that looks normal if u want to look at your screen on time tap on the screen line and it will give u how long the screen was on in between charges.
So 1 hr and 20 min left on battery seems right with a 20% usage for cell standby?

Battery drain isn't linear and drain slows as you get further into the battery.
Were you expecting it to stay at 100% for 15 hours or something?
Maybe I am not understanding what the screen is telling me 100%. I took it to mean that there is only approx 1 hr and 20 min left on the battery? Is that not correct?
With regards to the cell standby and other things using the battery, my assumption was that 20% battery usage by the cell standby was rather high. In searching online, I have seen people post that it should be around 11%. Is this not accurate?
Thank you for the help!
it means you've been off the charger for 1hr and 20 minutes and used 5% battery. As to standby time it's hard for me to say as I haven't updated and heard it's gotten better.
