On R1DA038 I noticed a comment about "seems to reduce battery life".

This is a massive understatement in my case. Can anyone comment on the same problem, and I was hoping somebody had noticed something draining the life out of it?
Mine now lasts at the very most 2 days between charges, and thats with hardly any use at all! Very very poor...

That firmware is the contirbuting factor, before the update, I got 4 days from a charge, now it's pretty much halved
Anyone got a solution, or any inside info on the fix in next firmware?

I suppose the simple question for me then, is how can I back-Rev the firmware? back to 037...

the colour saturation was removed from camdriver 3.4, which is in the newer 038 firmware. i guess it was removed to stop the colour fringing, i use colour saturation in my k800i driver & my old k750i used colour saturation, a 300 GBP phone & it can't use colour saturation because it causes colour fringing what rubbish.
