HTC Hero Update 2.1

[navalynt]

No, its worse battery, but not at the fault of 2.1. Its not running any battery saver software, my phone tends to stay awake almost 100%, its reporting 50% time without a signal, and the screen doesn't autodim. Surprisingly, with all these things going against it, I still get 2 days out of it with my 3500mAh battery.
The time without a signal kinda has a fix, turning it to airplane mode then back on to receive signal seems to do the trick (doesn't report any time without signal), but the debate on battery life on it is still out. You have to do it with every reboot, and I forget.
The only other annoying thing is that throughout the course of a day, I can watch the memory climb pretty fast. I bought cachemate, and that seems to take it back down about 20MB, but I shouldn't have to do that daily, and it shouldn't be giving me that much back. Oh well, its still my favorite ROM out right now because I can use my pharmacology software on it.

I love the Seidio 3500mAh battery! Baby got back and baby can last for days!

the guys over at Http://geekfor.me have a 2.1 that has a great battery life, it's supposed to be running the new htc power management software for the hero when the new update comes out
