    2.1 Launcher or Sholes 2.0.5. Battery Issue

    This is the first time I've had a battery issue. Either 2.1. Launcher or Sholes 2.0.5 is causing it. The battery is showing that display is the culpret but I wanted to see what you guys think. Have you noticed either of these causing battery life to drop?

    The Launcher is bug ridden IMO (and a lot of others). I would try the Sholes 2.0.5 without the 2.1 Launcher.

    The 2.1 launcher looks good but it has alot of hidden bugs. I wouldnt be suprised if that was holding your phone back. The logical thing to do is try it without the launcher, if the problem consists then its something diffrent.

    I think you might be right. It looked to me that there was an issue prior to install of Wholes. However I don't like the way typing on the virtual keyboard works on 2.0.5. It seemed to work fine after install but now there is a huge lag on the internet. I'll try removing launcher first.

    The virtual keyboard for me is very responsive. That Launcher certainly isn't helping.

    I had given up on the 2.1 Launcher long before I decided to root. As nice as it looked, I couldn't take the FC's and the horrid performance in landscape.

    Well I dropped the launcher but I'm still not seeing the speed I expected from 2.0.1. Perhaps a reset would help.

    Possibly.

    maybe try flashing 2.0.5 again after uninstalling the Launcher?

    I have the 2.0.5 ROM with 2.0.1 launcher and no issues. I did try the 2.1 launcher on the 2.0.3 ROM and was buggy with a lot of lag.
    Like the others I would suggest dropping the 2.1 launcher.
