Samsung Galaxy S... highest spec Android phone released... also with QWERTY!

Pretty much exactly the same numbers.
Android OS: 68%
Display: 13
Cell standby: 8
Phone idle: 3
Android System: 2

I'll have to try the battery recalibration I think. Wonder how it will hold up on Monday. As long as I can get from morning to evening without the chance of it dieng I'm fine, something which my iPod touch can't do easily :p
 
Well im on 10.1 its not half bad gets me through the day with heavy use, Data and snyc always on. Lots of youtube and games.

If you still have problem try flashing the rom again, firstly get a clean install of Foryo and just wipe everything then install the rom hopefully should be better.

I also use go launcher
A dark non animated wallpaper

And have gps and data turned off unless I'm using maps or market

One thing to bear in mind is that the free version won't manage your wifi (or at least it didn't do when I was trying it). That's the only reason I upgraded to the full version. If you generally have wifi off I guess it's no problem, but since I mostly use my phone at home or work (where I want a permanent wifi connection), it was worth it not to have to rely on remembering to turn it off when not using the phone.

So what does it actually do to help with wifi? Does it stop constant scanning?

I turn my wifi off after browsing usually, but I have definitely noticed an improvement in battery life with the free version so if the paid improves it further, it's well worth upgrading
 
Yeah, it does. One thing is it disables wifi when the screen's off (unless over-ridden by apps using it, which you can set in options).

However, what is particularly nice is that, as you say, you can set it to "learn" your used wifi networks. It will then only enable wifi when you are within range of a network you use instead of continually scanning for networks when you're out and about. It uses cell towers rather than GPS (which would negate the battery saving) to gauge your location, but it seems to work very well after a bit of training to get to know which networks you use.

Of course, if you disable your wifi manually anyway, this won't make any difference, as it won't be scanning anyway whilst disabled, but I basically leave my wifi turned on all the time in options and I never have to worry about the effect on the battery, which is a really nice feature. Would also be nice if you forgot to turn wifi off, I guess. TBH, I use wifi for so much apart from browsing (Taptu and BBC news, FB, Twitter, Google Docs, Evernote and Springpad, Shopper/Goggles, Dropbox, etc.) that it would be a real pain to have to keep remembering to turn it on and off, but JuiceDefender completely removes that necessity.

Anyone, if you're still having Android OS drain on Gingerbread after a reboot, it's likely to be an installed app (as Android OS encompasses quite a few things), so check what you're running. I think there can be drain issues with Latitude in Gingerbread.

The best way to get back to a clean install of Froyo (2.2.1) for the bootloaders, or just to start fresh (or whatever your motivation) is to flash the EZBase ROM, and then flash what you like on top. I've found that this prevents a LOT of the issues associated with flashing new ROMs, particularly custom ones, but also upgrades to Gingerbread, and of course it's a great way to downgrade your bootloaders to the Froyo ones, which is necessary for some custom ROMs.

The latest FuguMod Bleeding Edge ultra kernel supposedly has a fix for this, been using it for a day now.
