yup, airplane mode and data off...that would definitely do it.

what rom/kernal u running?
I have no reason to have the cell network on when i'm sleeping, so that's why I disable it. And I usually go several hours at a time between looking at my phone, so disabling data works well. I know it doesn't work for all, but it works for me.

I'm running BAMF 1.7 Remix with stock kernel @ ~1GHz

Mind posting your home screen(s) to satisfy my curiosity?

Well I was going to post a screencap of my best, but since I let it run so low to see how much I could push it, RIGHT as I opened up drocap it shut off on me! :cus:

For what it's worth, I got approximately 3d 1hr before it died. Light to medium usage (texting, FB, email, voice).

I've pushed it to 20 hours before with 41% left. I pulled mine off the charger today at about 10:30am and currently (2:17am) I have 49% left So theoretically I could get about 30-35hrs. Auto-brightness off, all apps update every 2-3 hrs and I stay on wi-fi all day. Average use. I run stock ROM w/ Adrynalyne's kernel.

This past weekend I got over 25 hours and still had about 20% battery remaining. I am not rooted and am currently running on my stock battery. I've been reading the forum for about 4 weeks because I was hating my battery and having to stay plugged in all the time. After reading and reading I finally caved in a did a few more of the things that have been suggested. I downloaded the LTE ONOFF by Cunning Logic and set my phone to run in 3G (not my preference but hey I prefer my phone to work longer verses the speed of 4G), and I did the battery bump. Now I admit I was thinking I was crazy for trying it and that it sounded nuts but OMG!!! I have not had to plug my phone in at all during the day for several days now..... I make phone calls, facebook, internet, text messages, e-mail and play a game every now and then.... I unplugged yesterday at 6:30 and still had 45% battery last night at 9:30...... I'm finally loving my Thunderbolt!!!!!

Something wierd happened on my TB battery life today..

i left my phone not plugged into a charger through the night which made it to power off. I charged it until i head off to somewhere and i had only 20%.

I couldnt charge it for about 3 hrs and the battery stayed on 20% straight.. no power saver stuff or whatnot.. never happened to have so long battery before..

Anyone have any idea how did this happen??

App maybe? I had an app that killed my battery worse than that. It killed my extended battery over night.

megaviewer was the app for movies.
