Wow, I am seeing the exact opposite. I am getting 6 hours of sleep/standby for every 10% battery drop and about 40 to 45 minutes of wifi web surfing per 10% battery drop.

Currently running the 7 slot 1Ghz kernel under 2.2 Beta 2 (as I call it).

Just installed the new baseband update this morning to see how that affects battery life.

I had the same numbers in stand-by. Unfortunately most of my waking hours my phone is not in stand-by for long periods.

The problem is actual use.

Few calls/texts/tapatalk and it heated up and burned through my battery.

Only clocked it to 800

Temps were not real high 105 dees grees but I wont suffer through horrible battery life. No way no how : )

I will load up the next round of leaks and re-test but for now I'm not liking Froyo.

The one positive is that it does run EXTREMELY well (performance) but again I need and want some decent balance.

You are on your phone all day I am going to assume. Different scenarios for different people. At work I am mainly on Pandora/Slacker all day so I must have my charger on me or it will not last. It was the same with my iphone. Its to the point I have to keep my backup charger on me because I stream sports, music from the time I clock in to the time I clock out. As far as froyo and battery life I am sure the testers for vzw are noting that and they may look to improve but, 2.1 was better on battery life but slow and not as good in performance. 2.2 seems to be better in performance but not as good in battery life. It seems as if we are going to have to pick our poison. I can deal with battery life because I can always get to an outlet (for the most part). But some people may not be able to do that so they need something that lasts all day.

Personally, I'll take performance over battery life any day! That's what my multiple chargers and spare battery are for.

LauncherPro did the same this or me in respect that when I opened the draw there were not app's in there.
I think hat when you install a certain # of app's it effects the draw.

Can I ask how did you move setCPU to the card???

I cant seem to find that optiona nd where on the card did they get moved to?

Thanks

Settings/Apps/Manage apps/ *click on SetCPU* / Click more to SD.

I had a problem with it not working when I moved it, so I had to move it back.

It wouldn't work on the sd card or on the phone's internal memory?

Didn't work on the SD card.

Are there scripts for terminal emulator to allow godmode in 2.2 yet? It will let me enter as a SU, but won't let me get past sysrw.

I installed Froyo and the blue theme.. Great so far... Now,

I'm not able to install the backed application from my sdcard using astro.
Right, you have to install it from the market. Besides you want to install it fresh any way since you are now on a 2.2 rom

I can't find Droid Root Helper on the marked anymore (I ran the market update fix and still)

What do you need droid root helper for on this rom.
Does anybody knows a work around for this issue???

Thanks!

Has anybody had a problem with running ADB on the Froyo? I tried and when I do a adb remount I get remount failed: Operation not permitted.

I am experiencing the same thing. And I can not run the Fix Permissions option in ROM Manager.

There are no script you have to type out everything the long way

Fix permission in ROM Manager will not work it is for 2.1 ROM, not Froyo.



As for folks trying to install setCPU to the sdcard make sure you have the most current version 1.5.4 I moved it on mine and it works perfectly fine. Only thing that will not work is the widget which is no concern to me as I don't use it anyways. Wastes battery IMO

I think this version of Froyo is having some issues with the memory card, because when my phone would reboot it would take a very long time to "prepare the SD card".

Android and me tweeted it on their twitter account, I hope they're right!

Yep, that takes more time then it did with stock 2.1.

Fix permissions works just fine for me on 2.2...

Just move busybox to /bin under /system.
