Root Ugh-Freezing & Battery Issues

I'm a noob when it comes to rooting things - so please be gentle.

I recently had my Fascinate rooted. Sure paid a guy in a store to do it and am thinking I wasted $30. I didn't do it myself because I felt overwhelmed by all the lingo and tech stuff that looks like a foreign language. I successfully rooted my Nook Color and had no problems but I was too afraid to do my phone since it is such a critical part of my life.

The main reason I had my phone rooted was so I could tether my Nook Color when I'm not at home. Well, since then my Fascinate keeps freezing up and the battery life has gone from 14-16 hours to 6-8 hours. Not acceptable.

I turn of the wireless tether unless I want to connect (I've only used it once so it probably wasn't worth it). I installed Launcher Pro so I don't know if that makes a difference. I hope not, because I love it.

I hope someone might be able to help me out. I'm guessing anyone who is willing to take a shot at this may need more info so if you can tell me what you need, I'll post a reply with specifics.

Thanks in advance. :confused:
 
If you ever need to root again, I had great success with this one-click method. Download the file "SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse
 
Thanks for the info, but I wouldn't know how to un-root my phone. Lol. Also, I have a Mac so would that one-click method work if I need it someday?
