how are your battery lives?

mine's down to 50% after a day with 3G on (with no browsing), few emails/text messages received, a few minutes of brick breaker, one call and some other tinkering around with the OS.

is this normal?

thanks

in my experience that would be normal if you are using a rom that is less than .162.

.162 and .167 sustain battery life much better.

Not yet, you will need to find a friend with a PC. I have great reception and that make a big difference in your battery. I receive and read about 60 emails a day and answer about 30-40 of them. I use about 2000 minutes each month and add stuff to my schedule as needed and I have never come home with less than 50% at the end of the day and the day starts at 3:30 when it is lifted out of the cradle.

My battery lasts about 2 days on 3G only, and about 3 days on 2G only.

The first day mine lasted about a day. But yesterday and today its been like 50% at the end of the day. You should find a public computer and update it.

is it a great deal of trouble? there's something about a JL cmder or something out there ... is that a necessary step?

My Battery last 2 days.

My Bold will last about 2 days with 3G but no other programs running at the background. PIN and Email, that is all. If I have MSN, Google map and Viigo running at the background, Bold will work for about 5 to 6 hours then radio shut off. If I only have MSN running then Bold could run about 9 to 10 hours. I am with .162 official. I do wish I can have my Bold last for 2 days with MSN on. I also notice if I do not use lots of data, one full charge will last longer. Watching movies on Bold will not shortten bettery life that much.
