    Default everything turned off and now I only got 7 hours :(


    so one day I got 20 hours and then today I unplugged it at 10 and now it's 5:30 and it's dead. light to Moderate use. I turned on the gps a few times today but only for a bit.

    any other tips of what's going on? I have everything at bare minimum and it's not holding a charge

    I kind of talked about this I believe on the same subject - it may happen it was someone else - but you definitely need replacement. I am getting about 3.5-4 days with avg usage.

    Geez....and I thought I was doing good because mine lasts from 6:00AM to about 11:00PM

    Can you give a little advice on what you did to improve it?

    the only draining thing I use now is autosync and that HAS to stay on for business (I've just got too many calender/email things to worry about). I mean my bberry is the same, it's dead at the end of the day too, but man 10-5 is not long at all.

    I gave up and just bought additional chargers; one to leave at work and one for the car.

    Pretty sad to say I’m never away from home, work or my car more than six hours and that I need to worry much about the battery lasting long enough to get to any one of those. If I were, I guess I’d consider getting one of those solar chargers – assuming of course that at least some of those hours away would be during the day.

    Lameness has it’s advantages, I guess.

    I turn my screen light to 0 and my phone lasts a damned long time. Not 3 to 4 days mind you, but I've gone to bed with 50% juice and gone through most of the next day without having to charge it. But I do have 3G enabled, and I tend to switch to Wifi sometimes.
