Is anything we can reduce battery life used. I'm using new "a brand New" battery from LG and it only last for 16hr for daily text, call and web browser. My old battery that i have one yr old batter used with aospCMod | AOSP 2.3.4 and it last for 24hr for full charge.
Try one of these:
Anker 1600mah
Anker Battery for LG Optimus V,S,T,M,U,C Phoenix Thrive | eBay
I use the 1700 version in my Evo and it's a BIG difference. Yes, it's only 100mah more, but it's a very high quality battery that holds every bit they claim it does. The 1700 added probably 30-40% to the Evo compared to a really good, stock 1500mah battery.
Also, check what apps you have running, it's not just social networking that can kill you.
Go into settings and see what is running in the background on startup, you might be surprised how much stuff is actually running all the time. Anything running that has no need to, you can bet is running so it can call home. Astro File Manager is one such app. It has no need to be running on startup, yet it does. Trade out these apps for ones that behave properly. In the case of Astro, I changed it with ESfile manager. I got rid of Super File Manager for similar reasons.
Get rid of as much stuff running in back as possible, I don;t care what so-called experts tell you about them not being a drag on resources> If it's running in the background it's doing something, maybe not all the time, but it is doings something. It wouldn't be running if it wasn't, would it?
