yea ill deff check it out.. i have good battery life now but could always use more!!! thanks bro..
Did battery saver pro help? Did you notice any change?
na.. better battetry stats is the app i need cause it shows me whats keeping the phone awake.. i think i have tryed just about every battery app.. i dont think they really work.. thats just me though.. well juice defender is the best i think..
betterbatterystats is the best battery saving app out there in my opinion. wake locks drain battery, BBS shows you what exactly is keeping your phone awake. many times it has helped me get rid of useless **** apps that suck and suck juice while my device was in my pocket.
also, to the OP, mine shows the same usage for both of those most of time. don't worry, it is normal.

I am using bionix v and people are reporting 20+ hours of battery life using the battery left widget.. and when using my battety left widget (nearly fully calibrated) it tells me I have 9 hours left.. what's the deal? Is this a battery issue, and could I need a replacement. I have had battery issues with nearly all of my roms in the past. I guess it could be a conditioning issue. Please help

Not possible by someone who actually uses there phone. I never thought I was a heavy user but seeing replies like above I have to be past the definition of heavy user. With my extended battery I could get 2.5 days on a single charge.
Im also having battery drain with bionix newest rom. Nothings changed in my day-day usage. probably flash another modem or something.
I think I might switch to stock froyo if things don't get better. Or just order a new battery. Because it just drops like a rock. And im using watchdog but it doesn't really help that much. Or could someone with experience with battery drain guide me on how to stop it from happening?

Yes I got it from t-mobile but I have not used stock long enough to see whether it was just a rom issue. I have only flashed team whiskeys roms and they seem to kill my battery. Nero v3 was the best but still wasn't great. I leave around 6:30 in the morning and maybe use the phone to get on xda, engadget, facebook, etc for about 1 hour, But my battery drops like a rock when I do this. And ever since bionix v it has only gotten worse. From that one hr of usage it drops 40 percent. Is hsdpa that big of a battery-killer? Because on wifi it seems to do a little better. Idk if this is just a network issue or what? Like right now it dropped 2 percent just from typing this up. brightness is less than half and everything is set to manually refresh. Wth?

Had terrible battery life as well with bionix v. Double checked to see if anything was running in the background and reconditioned my battery. Even then I was still getting atrocious battery life. Oh well I ended up switching back to axura which imo offers great performance and battery life. Not saying TW roms are bad (nero v3 was amazing) give Masters axura a shot if you haven't.

Omg this happened to me!
Im 14, exact same thing happened to me. Just last week though i broke my phone and htey sent me a new vibrant. The battery stays at 91% or more now after school doing nothing with it, when it used to be at like 40%. Maybe it's the new battery IDK, but a huge differance.

Almost everyone does it differently around here, this is what worked for me.
Full charge your battery, wait for it to drain (reach minimum 5% or better yet wait for the phone to turn off), now charge continuously for 100%. Unplug then plug the phone to the charger again (its not yet fully charged) after it reaches 100% this time boot into recovery go to advanced and wipe battery stats.
Try the "spare parts" app, it tells which app is eating your power up.
thats exactly the same thing that happened to me.... so i'd recomend you to flash a new rom TRIGGER once you flash it download a kernel from the vibrant developement and its called TIGERS BLOOD and the rom comes with an app called BATTERY CALIBRATION and just lije they told you.. wait for your fone to be fully charged and open that app and theres goin to be a button that says START CALIBRATING and now when i go to school till i get out my fones battery life its only 73% and i play games in it so if i dudnt play games at all it'd be like 80% or 85% of battery life....

I reccomend a very easy fix which contains two parts. Recondition the battery usin battery calibration app in market. Do this at 0% and 100% be sure to let the phone fully charge and die with no interruption.
Next get setcpu from the market and set it to powersave. Those two things should leave you around 95% battery. ROM shouldnt matter as much with these settings. Also cut off your data, wifi, bluetooth, anything your not using.

Try using CPU Spy to see if you're phone is going into deep sleep properly.
That sounds like you got a bad battery, even if the phone is not sleeping it should last longer than that. I would reset to see if maybe your batt stats got corrupted and if that doesn't do anything see if Sprint will give you another battery to try.

Not bad at all for me. Of course it drops a hell of a lot quicker if you leave the screen on 24/7 but mine will still last 5-6 hours while listening to pandora over bluetooth and with the screen constantly on browsing the web. When not being used constantly it lasts a lot longer.
I have confirmed wakelock, started last night. I'm totally stock, no overclocking or anything.
How do I go about figuring out what's causing it?
Our you could just not use your phone. Then your battery will katy all day.
In all seriousness though, if you haven't already go to settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks & turn off always on data. You won't notice a difference in anything except your battery life will increase. Also, turn off automatic screen brightness & set it somewhere comfortable for you. All that brightness adjusting will drain on the battery. 3D movies, pictures & video will drain it as well. Also as someone else mentioned, check the built in real manager every once in a while. You would be surprised at some of the apps still running in the background even though you haven't used then in a while.
Just a few suggestions. If you have ashley tried all of this then wait until e can flash Roms & Kernels or buy the Seidio monster 4000mah battery.

Around 1½ day i believe. But normally ill charge it at night where it has around 20-30% left

Usage: Music(+DSP), SMS, a few calls, Web browsing (2G/3G/Wifi). Dont really play any games but I do watch musicvideos sometimes which is takes around 15minutes.

Lmfao yeah that happens. But you can get Power Saver form the market. It really works. What it does is clock down the processor depending on what profile you set the app to.
Even though, today I haven't used the phone much and it's been discharging from 16 hrs and it's still at 60% (with Power Saver turned off). I've only used it for light texting today and that's it. 3G is what sucks the battery dry. Sometimes I use Edge only (2G) and the battery lasts me a whole day and more. The other day it lasted me a whole 24 hrs and it was still at about 19% left. I'm guessing the battery can last long or short depending on the usage.

With Juggernaut Rom, brightness turned down and web/wifi off I can literally get like 3 days almost if I'm not texting heavily. As soon as I turn internet on I'd say a max of 12 hours.

In my experience you will never truly be happy with battery life until you root and flash a new ROM and Kernel. I can finally achieve 24 hours of battery life on the stock battery using the setup in my signature. It is worth looking into.
