Don't know how fast extremely is.. I used to get 12-14 hrs. on Simply honey with moderate usage (25+ calls, text , few hours on the web and very little wi- fi) If you aren't getting that recalibrate as the post said above.
Also, this is a Gingerbread ROM so the battery life isn't going to be as good as Froyo anyway.

unless if you flash JVP kernel lol.
Or wait one day and flash the latest version of Simply Honey built on JVP.

If you have Simply Honey on it then you are rooted and free to flash anything. The first thing to do is go onto settings/about phone and see what version you have and then decide if you want to stay with a custom rom or just put it back to stock. There are numerous tutorial threads here and plenty of people willing to help you out.
Good luck.

Check out this section from the Simple Honey thread -

Calibrate your battery!
- There seems to be a safety feature in Gingerbread or Samsung's version of Gingerbread that causes the battery to start draining when it reaches 100%. That said to calibrate your battery properly you must do it as soon as the battery full pop up appears.
- Download the app found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1024867 and follow the on screen instructions.
>>>>>>>>>>
The app referenced up there is really simple to use and works great.
Here's the SH thread with more instructions if needed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021383.

I am on Blitzkrieg Gingerbread and my battery only lasts about 6 hours when I am not connected to a WiFi. I use the re calibrating app every morning, or when I have to recharge to 100%, and it does not seem to be helping any!!! I really do not want to downgrade to Froyo, but if that is what its going to take to get 14+ out of my battery, then I guess I will. Any suggestions?????

get to 100%
use a file manager
head to data/system
delete batterystat.bin or somtehing similar its at the top.
Delete that.
It has been said over and over again that on CM7 doing that helps, and it actually does, i never asked why just doing it helps.
I'm thinking its because its a 2.3 rom, buttttt idk.
just do it. nike.

I will give it a try and see what happens. Should I do this every day or just for the first couple? FYI...I have been unpluged for 3 1/2 hours and I am down to 53% and I have not done ANYTHING on the phone, other then getting a few email notifications!!!

I had the same problem on an older version of CM7 (and older version of honey). I went ahead and flashed the newer version, changed my modem and kernel, charged and re-calibrated...try that.
it worked great for me, went from 6hrs to about 10hrs!

Do this for about 2 days.
Also you may want to try out KB5 modem.
GREAT signal, GREAT battery life.
Everyone that tries it usually has had a good experience with that modem.

My battery is just about dead, 6% to go. I will charge it and delete that file and go from there.
I am on KB5 with the bullet-jvp kernel. Would charging, at night, with the phone off be the best way or should I just leave it on?

That will work, but the method I always use is to wip battery stats and let the phone die, fully charge, and then let it die again. After that, the battery will be much better.
This actually does what Viper is talking about. All it does is simply delete the battery stats. Some say it helps, while some articles have said it does not help battery because the stats help tell the phone how to use the battery to its full potential. Personally, when I switched to Vipers rom I used this then emptied/charged it, froze sense and all bloatware through ViperMod (control?) and flashed the SBC kernel. It has been on for 4 hours now, with reddit and texting, and it is at 96%. That is ****ing amazing.
I taped 2 batteries together and they calibrate well, thanks.
Haha sorry about the typo guys and thanks for the advice ill try it when I come back from work tonight and see what happens.

Before wiping bat stats should the battery be at 100 or close to it (seems like stops at 99) and then wipe. Also should I do this with your stock rom first and then apply the test 5 sbc kernal or can i do it with the test kernal already installed?

The battery seemed to last longer after I let it charge for 2 hours past the time the LED turned green for 4 days.

Ok so i restored my stock backup because i needed to do a fresh install of unnamed. now when i turn the phone off it comes right back on and when i try to go into recovery it just continues booting up. what have i done and what do i need to do?
Even with phone on you can press and hold power and both volume up and down. Keep holding it and it will boot you into recovery.

there is no need to go to stock to do a new rom flash
The problem is fixed but now i face a new dilemma. When i go to turn the phone off it comes right back on. Even with a hard shut down. Also happens when i pull the battery and put it back in. It will turn on again by it self. I am on unnamed 1.3.1 with the blue monkey theme. Any ideas?
what if maybe your power button is tweaked?

If you revert the root using entropy rom and a jig you can return it for warranty work undetected.

Ok I'm honestly baffled here. My battery life has been terrible. Here's what has been done recently. two days ago I restored my stock back up and flashed unnamed 1.3.1. Noticed my battery was dying very quickly. So I went into cwm. Wiped data, cache and davik cache and reflashed unnamed 1.3.1. My battery is dying no exaggeration about 10% every 40-50 minutes. In addition to all this...my phone wont stay turned off. It turns it self on after about 2 seconds. Ugh please help me.

Wow. That's pretty rough. I say go back to 100% stock and see how it goes. If it still is dropping that fast your battery may be bad.

The phone screen turning back on so often says "rogue app" to me.

Use Entropy512's return/unbrick to stock package. Or I have an Odin3 OneClick Downloader of his package is you prefer. It's a little easier. See the link in my signature.
There is no such thing as a backup of 100% stock. To make a working nandroid backup, you need to already have a custom kernel installed.

Thank you so much. I will check it out when I get home. So after I do that I'll still be rooted? Or do I need to root again before I flash a rom again? I promise im almost out of noob questions.
And I might try getting a new battery to fix the other problem. I'd hate to have to send my phone in for warranty
EDIT: ok i just looked at your link with odin 3. say i use the one without root. i would essentially be bone stock out of the box correct? and from there i could just start over, use the guide on how to root, etc.?

The only difference between the two packages is one will give you root while the other will not. If you go with the one with root you will be 100% stock aside from root. I only recommend going 100% because then you'll know it won't be any rogue apps draining the battery or issues from a custom rom. If you get the expected battery life stock rom has then you'll know the battery is good. If it's lower than what is usually is for stock rom most at&t stores will replace the battery on the spot for you.
So no benefit of going with the package without root unless you're taking it back to at&t.

the random reboot is back, just wanted to know anyone thats running CM7 using the dell's dock to charge have the same issue...?
it just freezes, either a battery pull or about a 5-10 min wait for the next reboot is what i can do to start using the phone back again....
because of this the alarms don't get to ring in the mornings...

No one should ever have to ask anyone what system is on their phone... the poster with some sense should include it... but people looking for handouts rarely think about stuff like that
Anyway, raise the minimum up to 275
PS: you should also include what ROM you have installed

His first post mentions CM7. Still, you would think that people would provide the relevant information without being asked. It does make solving issues that much easier.

well how about u go and " READ IT "....?
;p cdzo72 am just having "fun" sarcasm's here... hope ur not offended.... anyway i am going to raise the settings up like u said....
issue is. as the streak is docked onto the dells on charging station, the Dell Stage shows up... the one posted here, n then in some time say about 10-15 mins the DS5 just either reboots or just freezes....

OK so its not when you try to revive it or wake it up then...
Have you tried flashing _n0p_'s kernel for CM7 and MIUI?
That would be about the extent of the advice I can give you except for maybe freezing the Desk Clock app and letting the Streak stay at the launcher when docked to see if it acts differently
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
yeah cdzo72, i have flashed them too....
well as per ur advice will try removing the dell stage n just keep the launcher active....
hmmm i am using the cm7 (dsc kernel) with the dock too
but i didnt noticed a reboot when i put it into the dock..... i just noticed that the streak doesnt goes into the dock mode....
maybe u should reinstall cm7 starting with the stock 407 rom and dont forget to wipe the data etc... with streakmod

warranty replacement....."i woke up and my phone wouldnt boot" usually does it or did for me at least lol
By chance do you have access to a external battery charger or a friend with a thunderbolt or rezound to test if the battery died?
I've had this happen during a ruu flash where the battery died and I had to charge the battery in my thunderbolt to bring it back

If it's really bricked then they won't be able to check it. Once I sent back a Rezound on ICS with an unlocked bootloader and they didn't care and when I sent my bad nexus back, I completely forgot to unroot it and sent it back with CWM, CM9 and all my personal data and they didn't care. They don't check it they just flash it back to stock
