Although I don't own a Fascinate there are several forums on this already, search for one using battery life. I get really good battery life but what works for me probably won't work for you.

how much battery life do you get out of it? looks like you are using the stupidfast kernel which should be pretty good for your battery. do you have apps that are refreshing data every hour or so? like facebook, weather, etc? there are many things that can eat away at your battery, so we'd probably need a little bit more info from you unless you just want a general guideline as to how to conserve battery life

I haven't noticed gps/wifi or anything else having nearly as much impact as changing from the stock ROM to the Super Clean rom. If you are having poor runtimes and aren't using this rom, you need to switch. I still use a lot of auto-updating and syncing apps, like twitter, facebook, weatherbug, etc. and they make hardly a dent in the battery life, I can go 24-36 hours easy with typical (lots of) usage.

the battery life has improved. i can go the whole day with out chargeing now. i have a my gmail sync up quite often, i use the calendar for work, im a cable guy and its nice to be able to schedule customers on the go without haveing to call the office.weather updates about every 3 hrs. thats all i have that i know of that refreshes. genral guide lines would be very helpful. also are there programs that can help me monitor the programs and how much they use battery? are there scheduler programs will turn/off things as i switch to car mode?
