Battery life with 2.2

[SterlingVT]

How is everyones battery life with froyo? After a few days of getting 12 hours I am now on almost 26 hours with 30% left, 90 mins of phone calls, heavy texting, a little web, downloading some apps and messing with them.

Anyone else see big gains?

Same here. My battery life jumped from 10-12hours, to 20+ hours. After 20 hours off the charger today, I'm still at 40%. I've made several phone calls today, text, toke a lot of pictures and video at Disney on Ice, watched about half hour of a movie I copied to my X, surfed the web a little.

Nope I really thinking about getting a bigger battery.

Well after removing advanced task killer and flashing my phone, battery life has improved 100%. I went from charging twice a day to charging once. Thanks for all the tips.

I too am running 2.2 Leaked-->Fly X-->Blackmods-->Beeseleys build.prop mods, and i am seeing great battery life . Way better than running 2.1. You know if Verizon were to just listen to the Hacking community the droid x would be so much better . I love this phone , and is the best phone i have ever owned , but why build a phone on a open source platform and lock down the bootloader? i see motorola having to choose between opening up the bootloader or losing alot of customers mainly in the development world. I wish Motorola would listen to the people who make these phones great ( the Modders) aka Birdman , Koush , p3droid , rainabba , Phil , and so on .
OK im off my soap box rant .

I don't know what's up but after the update My battery seems to be heating up sometimes to 45c and the battery life went from >20 to less than 12 hours. It heats up to 40's in les than half an hour of just web browsing

I have experienced the same thing. I have completely wiped my phone and am in the process of figuring out what it is. Basically something is making the CPU run a 100% killing the battery, and making it run hot. You may have to pull the battery to get the phone out of that cycle. While the phone is running hot. Go look in your battery manager and then look at what is using the battery. Android OS will be the highest battery drainer, when it should only be 2-3 % under normal circumstances.
