This is the first ROM I've tried with the D3, and I certainly like it a whole lot better than stock. I was having freezeups with 1.2, so I've been running 1.1 without issue....well, except for one - battery life seems to be less than desirable. For example, last night I went to bed with just wifi turned on, and woke up to 46% battery left.
A couple questions to this effect:
1. I saw the post that Eclipse 3.0 is coming soon. Any expectation that it has improved battery life, or is this purely due to the overclocking?
2. Whether I wait for 3.0, or go to the current non overclocked version, can I use Titanium to backup/restore all my settings/apps? It took me a few days on and off to reconfigure and install everything, and I'd prefer not to do that all again.
Thanks in advance for any advice..
I'm running 3.0 overclocked to 1.2 at the moment. I get 6 to7 hours with heavy use. Meaning that I get that by hardly ever putting my phone down. I've let my phone sit for nearly 11 hours and had 70% battery left before I plugged it up to charge. That was with medium to light use. With data and WiFi enabled. I too sometimes reboot if I do too many things too quickly, but it doesn't bother me. Yet. I'm going to flash the non-overclocked version later on. The overclocked, as guidot explained, is the reason you're experiencing a short battery life. The 1.1 will have slightly to significantly better battery life, depending on your use, and the non-oc will have better than the 1.1 oc, again depending on your use.
I would go ahead and upgrade to 3.0. With it being a newer version, there have been pretty good battery tweaks (coding in the framework/build.prop that better utilies certain processes) that help to extend battery life. If your main concern is battery life, flash the 3.0 non-overclocked version. Or if you wish for a slight mix of both, go with 3.0 1.1 oc.
Yes, Titanium Backup will help you to keep from restoring everything individually. BUT, if there are apps that have backup/restore settings like GO SMS, any home replacement app like Go Launcher, ADWLauncher, etc., you will need to do those backups within the settings of that app. Unless, you use TiBu to backup EVERYTHING on your phone. I, personally, just backup my apps and restore them later.
I hope this helps and if you need any more clarification, don't hesitate to ask.
