Horrible battery life after outage

[sound48]

I was reading in the forums awhile ago and came across steps to help the Thunderbolt obtain a 3g signal during an outage. I tried it a few weeks ago when mine was on 1x. It worked, but since then I've had absolutely horrible battery life. In retrospect, I should have read more about it before trying, but live and learn. I don't think it's a rom issue, but I did try flashing to the most recent version of BAMF Forever just in case. Below are the steps I used to get 3g. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

1 Go to the Thunderbolt phone dialer. Enter ##778# and hit send
2 You'll get a pop up labeled EPST with the choice to view mode or edit mode. You want edit mode.
3 You'll be asked for a password. It's 000000
4 Now flip down to modem settings, and then choose Rev. A.
5 Change the setting from eHRPD to enable. Hit OK, then press the menu button on the phone and tap commit modifications.

I thought I heard that this was very bad... but don't know how to fix your battery life issue.

And why not just switch from 4G to 3G in the Settings... I'm fairly sure most, if not all, Gingerbread ROMs have that ability. That is much easier than what you described above.

Yeah, there was a thread no more than a month or so ago stating that everyone should change back to eHRPD.

I'll try that and see if it helps. You don't happen to know the link to that thread do you?

personally i leave mine on rev a. i can switch back and forth and do speed tests always faster on rev a. versus eHRPD..dont know why but live in the sticks might have something to do with it no battery difference though im sure thats a different issue..when i first got the phone on release it wouldnt work at all on eHRPD..lucky i found out on this place how to change that..tech support didnt even know how.. imagine that
