now i know these things are battery hogs in general. ive set up my atrix and have been fumbling around with it. now all of my friends with their droids (rooted and new ROMS installed, verizon guys) swear their battery life is upwards of a day and a half. i was doing some simple browsing and installing an app over wifi and in under an hour, the battery life went from 100% fresh off the charger to 90%. i thought my blackberry was a battery hog at 3-4% discharge per hour under medium usage. is this really what i can expect out of this thing? now ive got mine rooted, and running SetCPU (my friends also swear it helps battery life) and ive also got the screen dimmed down pretty low. im used to on blackberry, being able to shut down all non essential apps in order to save on battery life. they tell me all i need to do is just "back out" repeatedly of an app to shut it down. am i missing something or if there another way i should be closing things out. dropping 10% an hour just seems a little steep.
im sure this is a newbie type of question, but im 7000 posts strong on crackberry.com, so bear with me as im still trying to learn the android OS in my "transitional phase". if 10% an hour under light load is what ive gotta look forward to, i might just stick with my BB.
