1889, try change your theme and see if it helps improve your battery life. I had good battery life before I upgraded to R1DA038. After the upgrade it really felt like something happen and the battery got drained a lot faster. However then I changed the theme and now my battery life is good again! Strange...

Battery now down to 3%.
Thats 37 hours from an overnight charge. Absolutely pathetic and completely unacceptable. If this isn't fixed with the next software then I shall seriously consider getting rid of this phone.
Maybe because you messed up your battery with your run-downs
Glad I got rid of this phone for the time being... going to wait till it drops in price to grab it again... and by that time, it'll be Feb, and the phone should be ripe to pick. Using the N95 8GB for now.

I would if there were any that actually looked decent. The only one that looks any good is the one I'm using.

Doubt it. I've only let it completely die once anyway. Normally I just let it get really low, like 12% or less. It didn't die yesterday, it got to 3% and then I charged it for a few hours.

Battery Issue:
I have the same theme and my usage has been consistent between the upgrade from firmware version 37 to 38, yet the battery life has substantially gone down!
Its really bad, ive resorted to taking my charger to work now as it dies too quickly.
I want to go back to the old firmware in order to get a decent amount of battery life for my phone, but only way to do that is to pay the davinci team 10euros.
I dont think its fair to have to pay to downgrade firmware because SEUS have messed up!
Have been a hardcore SE fan for a good few years, and its hurting to have to say im getting fed up of this phone!

At least I'm not the only one with major battery problems.
I'm stuck with my phone now aswell. I'm a couple of months into an 18 month contract so its too late to send the phone back or anything, I'll just have to stick it out and hope the next software upgrade fixes it.

Guys, from what you are saying, seems that they have overclocked a bit or left more processes in the ram. That could explain faster draining of the batt?
@darrengf, have you tried to benchmark it with the new fw?
I havnt got any benchmark software for the phone, if any one can point me in the correct direction so i can do the test for you.
Thanks
Here's the link:

You need internet conn. to benchmark after you have created free account and installed the app.
