Lurker
hi everyone!!!!

i really hope i can get some insight and help into this. i've always had some problems with my milestone 2 battery. on the first few days it lasted me for 5 hours before i started tweaking it and it's been 2 months since i bought it and my settings are as follows but can only last me 5 hours top with moderate usage and with light usage 12hours top. in the forums i see people using it heavily and still getting 24-48h HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE

display: 5%
wifi/bluetooth/gps/background data/location: switched off
network: 3G
twitter/google calendar/google contacts: manual sync
no facebook account
motoblur: skipped the registration

clock widget: retro clock
battery: battery e.t.a and circle battery (sometimes i switch them off paranoid android)
launcher: lp lite or something they removed it from the market
two screens:
- one with the clock and battery and widgetsoid (sp?)
- 11 apps

RAM taken up on the avg: 80m/499m :(

whenever i just check or reply a sms or whatsapp, i see the battery drop 1%. what's this!!?!

no idea how to monitor it. i downloaded spare parts before but i see it running in the background/services so i uninstalled it.
running services:

another issue:
how do i get my battery discharging velocity to go down? it's right now at 15.9 despite not using it the whole night.

side note:
i've done factory reset 2x/3x. still not really helping

screen flickering:
yesterday, while trying to access anything google. i.e. google sync or whatever, the screen would flicker like mad with lines. only stopped when i pressed home. had to reboot it in order to get rid of it

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
