- approximately 30 minutes of voice time
- approximately 1 hour of web-surfing time (cumulative)
- a game or two of sudoku or bubble breaker in the bathroom at work LOL
- wifi off
- bluetooth off
- two email accounts actively checking for new POP mail (one account checks every 15 mins, the other every 2 hours)
- data connection kept live 24/7
- backlight at 60% - auto-off feature set for 2 minutes of idle time
- constantly running apps :
# VITO SMS-Chat 1.1
# SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 (weather set to auto-update)
# SPB Diary Today Plugin
- and I get HORRIBLE cel reception in my office.. the data connection drops and reconnects several times throughout the day so big battery sucker being here at work.
Now I've recently upgraded to the Seidio 3500mAh extended battery and I've only been charging via the wall charger and its been lasting me about 3 1/2 days with that same usage. Since they claim it's double the lifespan, I would assume that the stock battery SHOULD last me about 1 3/4 days if I began charging it appropriately.

Dang you get pretty good battery life if all that is of the normal battery. I talk for maybe 2 hours tops a day and play a few games and mine drains. Heres something I think may play a role in battery life. I believe you need a quality charger, like the one it comes with, not a cheap 5 dollar one. Lol at the games in the bathroom because, I do the same thing it helps me concentrate.

Were there any changes to the way the ROMs charge the battery that might be causing an issue?
For now i will charge the batteries in the cradle, and swap them out daily...

Do you have the original battery or a third party one. What about the charger? How long have you had the battery? Although I am new to the ppc phones, could you possibly have a virus that is draining your battery?
