Alright...I decided to do a hard reset on my phone after having a few issues with froyo. I had TK taskiller installed previous to doing a hard reset. The two biggest issues I had was my texting seem to lag when I was texting. Like it couldnt keep up. The other issue was my batter would go from 100% to like 86% within an hour of little to no use.
I performed a hard rest. (powered off phone, press the down volume and press the power button, select clear storage.) This complete resets phone, even had to reactivate the phone.
Charged phone all night as usual. Had it turned off while charging throught he night, as usual. Battery was still at 100% even after an hour. Phone was at 86% at 2pm. I took it off the charger at 7am, mind you. Also I did not reinstall my app killer after hard resetting but I did reinstall all apps the I previously had. I exported contacts to sd card before resetting so all I had to do was import them back to phone after reset. There is no longer any lag in my text usage.
My findings....battery performance has definitely increased, in fact it is almost 9pm and batter is at 76%. This is an extended battery, mind you, but...it was the same battery that was below 50% at this time before the reset.
In summary, the small issue with texting has been resolved and my battery is definitely lasting longer. As to why the battery lasts longer, wether it was due to reset or just not having app killer, I do not know. So yeah....hard reset and no app killer worked great for me!
What are the specs of your extended Battery and where did you get it? Did you need to get a bigger back door for the phone?
I also did a hard factory reset. I was using the 3500 extended battery, and after the upgrade to 2.2, what used to be 6 days on a single charge was reduced to only 2 days. So, I did the hard factory reset. I DID NOT find that to be helpful with the battery usage.
But, what I did find is that if I leave my WiFi turned on, the battery drains much more quickly than if I shut it off and only turn it on when needed. However, this was not a problem under 2.1. I left the WiFi on all the time.
