Re: Better battery life with push mail on

I use gmail IMAP IDLE push through Flexmail and battery life is mediocre...it was better on my Treo 755 to be honest...On my first two TP batteries, I got about 12 hours with push on, and modest voice, texting, etc...I just got a new stock battery from Sprint last week, and for some reason, with the same settings, I get about 20% better battery life...it's really noticeable...I had actually gone and purchased the 3000mah Mugen a couple of days before a received this newest stock battery my battery life had been so poor...with this new stock battery, not even sure how much I'll use the Mugen other than on trips... and for what it's worth, I have tested various push/pull setups on my TPs and have not honestly noticed a material difference in terms of any power savings using true push...I know the theory behind it but in practical use I have not noticed...
