Battery Life Froyo vs Eclair

[Guest peelie]

Hi

Had been using FLB2alpha3(froyo) and a couple of days ago switced to FLB1.7 overclocked(eclair); now noticed that my battery is draining much faster. Am sure am not hallucinating even with froyo overclocked i was not seeing such a significant drop.

Anyone else notice this?

I'm using v1.7 and battery usage seems to be very good, just as it always was. In standby it almost doesn't use any power. Most of the time drainage is caused by some nasty widgets or services running in the background, not the rom version.

Note that I just use on demand wifi. 3g and bluetooth, gps is turned off usually, I use 2G only setting. Also I don't use any fancy weather widgets, I check it on my home and work computers, when I'm out with the phone i can usually see the weather :)

I have set CPU to 245MHZ max when screen off, 691mhz when screen on, 2G when I'm at work. 3G when on the commute/during a break. Some heavy gaming/browsing for about 2 hours. And @ home I only use wifi and 2G. Battery lasts about 20 hours for me :)

I'm on Froyo!
