Bwana Job,<br><br>I have heard had (and had) improved battery life with <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902061&amp;page=1" target="_blank">this ROM</a> on IDEOS. You can try it out or, to be safe, you can just read thru the thread to make a more informed decision. You can also try using setcpu as suggested by Mugambi, it works as advertised. <br>

I have used safcom&#39;s 3G network on my android device and I have to say is the worst.<br>I haven&#39;t made a single call or received for that matter and its went off after 12hr with<br>less than an hr of online activity. I noted the phone heats up a lot to aboutt 45 deg<br>




when using the 3g network. Switching it back to EDGE improves things a bit but not<br>lke when on orange&#39;s EDGE network.  <br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>Regards,<br>Job Njogu Muriuki,<br><br>Phone: (+254) - 772333075 | 736333075<br>
