Gingerbread has a good battery report (usage by app). Go to Settings, Battery & data manager and then Battery usage. Go find your culprits. Have you rebooted since it started?

Battery drain.

Pretty simple...until I updated to Gingerbread, I could use my DroidX all day long for mail, calls...etc. For months and months. Bluetooth was always on, but only actually came on when it connected to a paired device. Now? I am lucky to get 6 or so hours of life from my battery, with the same settings. GPS off, screen auto, wi-fi off....this upgrade, from that perspective has been, was just awful. Trying every trick I can find to get something worthwhile from battery usage. Wonder if I can go back to Froyo? (No, my device is not rooted).

Guess mine is just an angry exception (even though I am seeing a lot of posts similar). Glad yours is working great...mine, however, not a huge amount of use if I can't carry it all day without charging it. Just doesn't make a lot of sense to me why it would get this much worse.

And it reset my locked screen so I have to swipe to answer/ignore when I just had to press the button...and I can't find that setting again to change it!

Have you looked to see what is using your battery? You may have a extra app running that should not be..

I'm currently showing 70% after 1d 10h 21m on battery. That's par for me. I see no difference after GB.

I've notice my battery life has gotten worse since GB. Usage is about the same.

I'm having the same problem and I haven't changed any settings. I could implement more battery saving techniques to reduce the consumption, but it still doesn't take away from the fact that Gingerbread consumes more battery.

Thanks for merging the threads! It was harder getting various bits of info from multiple threads...

Having the same problems as everyone else regarding battery life. Also, my corporate sync has shut down completely and will not work, which has gotten me in major trouble twice. Need this solved asap.

I ended up doing a factory reset to fix my corporate sync issues. Battery life a little better but not much.

Run your battery down all the way one time. The system needs to know where the bottom is to accurately report % left.
