Battery life on your thunderbolt

With the Rezound battery and overclocking/underclocking and undervolting I can EASILY get 20 hours with my phone. Using 4G and Wifi and making many txts throughout the day.

Currently at 89% after being off the charger for 2 hours. Used 4G for about 20 minutes and check FB/Email. 40 txt messages.
 
I was using the extended battery ( which was great), but I got tired of the hump and no case. I went back to the standard and would have to charge my phone about twice a day and would always have to use the car charger when in the car. I finally got the Rezound battery and I was surprised how much longer my phone lasted! It def added about 4 hr to a days use and can now go all day without a charge. I am only using 3G with wifi at home since I don't have too much need for 4G, but will use it to stream movies/shows on my phone. The Rezound battery is def worth the $19.99 I paid for it, I'll actually recommend to people to get the Rezound battery for the Tbolt.
 
Mine's rooted running Bamf Forever 1.10. I also have SetCPU to underclock the CPU when the screen's off, plus I don't remember the name of the app, but one that shuts the mobile network off when the screen shuts off.

I use mine a moderate amount throughout the day and get roughly 10 to 13 hours before it gets to 30%. I rarely use 4G, but lately I've been testing it with 4G on all the time, and I'm getting similar battery life times. I'm on wifi at home most of the time, though, so that helps a lot.
 
Rezound battery: 10% left, 8 hrs 14 min, 6 hrs 10 min of Pandora (3g only). Web the same as yesterday and gaming roughly the same. Not much better than stock. But I notice the difference when I'm not on my phone constantly using it.
 
Up to 22 hours right now on the 2750mah extended and its down to 45%. Wifi on for almost 4 hours, 4G for about 2 hours, IMO kernel 5.1(1Ghz), and display set around 15%(I like mine dim).
 
It's not that bad. Can be an eye sore but its worth it to me and you'll get use to it. The bump seems to have better support in your hands too.

I'll take a couple pictures and post them up soon.
 
No matter what you do, battery life is going to stink unless you go with the extended battery. I've had it for the past 8 months or so and it's never let me down.
