Help Battery Life - Unexplained Drain

[Travisimo]

I never had widget locker installed and I am still getting the battery drian when I don't reboot the phone after using the the hotspot. Is anyone else having this issue?

See, I figured someone would say that because it made no sense that my issue with the Hotspot stopped as soon as I disabled Widgetlocker. However, it's been several days now with Widgetlocker disabled and my battery life continues to be excellent even after I turn the Hotspot off without rebooting.

Before disabling Widgetlocker, I could physically feel that my phone was still warm even after turning off the Hotspot. So I knew something was draining the battery. However, nothing showed up in CPU usage or in the battery stats screen. So I still can't explain it.

There has to be some combination of circumstances that is causing it, but all I can say is that disabling Widgetlocker removed the symptoms on my phone.

the HTC thunderbolt had some pretty pathetic battery life when it came out and the stock battery would only last around 5-6 hours on 4g. after a few months and updates, the battery life average nearly doubled. the earlier 4g radio software is what really demolished the battery for me, but once the updates were out and a newer radio software was installed, i can leave 4g on all day without needing to recharge during the day.

also, once i rooted my thunderbolt, i can go over 24 hours with 4g on and light-moderate use. rooting is by far the best method of increasing battery life. when rooted, the bloatware can be eliminated, which helped the thunderbolt tremendously and should do the same for the bionic.

once motorola and verizon iron out the kinks with the bionic, i'm sure it will last all day with the stock battery. it's 350mah larger than the thunderbolt to begin so if the average light-moderate use battery life is about 12-14 hours with the t-bolt, 13-15 hours should be the norm for the bionic.

the bionic is very impressive for performance, especially with the game system emulators. the thunderbolt still struggles a little with the n64 emulator, but the bionic should be able to handle it. the only thing keeping me from exchanging my t-bolt for a bionic is the screen. the bionic has a nice screen, but i've been spoiled by the HTC screen and the bionic's looks dull in my opinion.

Never had widget locker. Droid Bioinic. Most times the mobile hotspot shuts off. Sometimes it says it is shut off, but it really is not. The warmth of the phone is a clue. Without that clue, the first indication is that my battery is dead.dead.dead - a real hassle. I use my mobile hotspot 2 days a week every week, and occasionally more. I would guess (have not tracked it) that is fails to truly shut off once a month. Is there a fix?
