    also.. if your using a custom kernel and OC'ing.. if your not, use SetCPU and mess with the custom profiles for your speeds.. like keep it at your "max" speed when you use it, but then go in and set the speed to run at minimum when screen is off, lower speed when under a certain % like 30.. slow down when over a certain temp.. etc.... this will help you out a lot.. thinking Avi uses it or somthing sim but maybe not you ash? :P

    Looks like Ash found the culprit and it is the always ON GPRS due to active Background data sync option being enabled. He just made it on demand and found incredible amount of improvement in the battery life. Ash may add something to it.

    Will check the Green Power App soon. Thanx for recommending it. Hopefully its better than Juice defender.
    Yes many apps were accessing the internet in the background. Read somewhere, that in India, Telecom service providers keep cycling IPs and so our phones would have to constantly locate new signals and this uses a lot of battery

    Currently testing


    Green Power free: It had the option of enabling Data (2g) at times, that explains why it used more of the battery than the other two. Have no idea why Android system usage was so high.

    Juice Defender and Battery 2x did better. I must admit Battery 2x did impress me even after taking about 50 or 60 photos it utilized the battery life to its max.
