Need help with battery after 2.1 OTA

Hi and HELP!  Did the 2.1 OTA upgrade and the battery life isn't great.  I used to hover around 4% awake time on 1.5.  I now hover around 67% on cell standby.  Ouch!  I've tried doing the airplane trick.  No luck.  I do keep GPS off at all times unless I'm playing with the navigation in the car (Oh, how awesome is that!) but I've only done this twice, just to test it out actually.  I normally have the Wifi off and sometimes the Mobile off too.  If I'm not needing the internet, there's no need to keep these on all the time.  I do use a bluetooth and I'm not good about turning that link off but I never turned it off on 1.5 and I stayed around 4% awake time with it on.  My widgets are Astro, TV.com, Lukluk, My Verizon, Mablio Ringtones, RingTone and TV guide.  Not a ton, as far as I'm concerned.  I've done the *228 option 1 and 2.  I've done battery pulls and tried killing the battery and charging overnight with the phone off.  So, obviously I'm missing something.  I do have my screen turned down, have my timeout set for 30 seconds, can't think of anything else to report here.  Oh, I do also use Handcent and have since getting the phone.  Any help would be appreciated.  I've looked thru this site several times but anything I've tried isn't working.  I am using the Sedio 1750 which used to give me a good 2 days, sometimes 3, but now I'm charging every night.  Please help!  Thanks guys.

Thanks Monty1.  I don't have the battery widget, unless it's a stock thing.  I know I've not downloaded one.  I tried the airplane thing 3 times yesterday and twice today.  I just find this all very odd since my battery was awesome on 1.5 and has been pretty bad on 2.1.  I heard that it was supposed to be better on 2.1.  Puzzling!

Personally I quit worrying about this awake time issue.  Some days I am at 53% and today I was at 3%, does not affect my battery performance in the least, no matter where it is.  What you might need to try is going into settings>applications>running services to see what is currently using the battery, as something may be stuck and sucking the life from your battery.  You can make a shortcut widget for running services on one of your home screens.  

Gtalkservice has to go with google/gmail this is normal.  Touch input for keyboard, text, emails, typing, this is normal also.  Obexservice part of the htc processes of the phone, this is normal also. Your services look good so far. 

I have obexservice, gtalkservice, mabilo wallpapers, swype(takes place of your touchinput), news and weather(new genie widget I installed, but noticed it does drain my battery faster). 

You dont have that new battery widget on your home screen do you? 

Out of this set of services two you could eliminate is Obex (Object Exchange) and Bluetooth. (Obex is a method by which files are transferred using Bluetooth). Turning off your Bluetooth should turned them both off.

In my experience Bluetooth uses a significant amount of battery. I suggest you turn it on only when you need it.

An interesting thing about OBEx service. Even though it is turned on when you turn on Bluetooth, OBEx transfer is not allowed in 2.1 (or 1.5 for that matter). Too bad because if it was you could buy a $5 bluetooth antenna for your computer and transfer files back and forth to your phone all day using OBEx.

Unless, of course, you root your phone.....
