Battery life is a joke

I love this phone, but seriously.... This battery life is killing me. It's 10:30 A.M. and I've barely even used it and I already lost a bar. Took it off the charger at 7. Wow.

look around for the battery tweaks and make sure u have incoming beam set to off under settings

Thanks, will look into the battery tweaks. Not finding the "incoming beam" anywhere though?

incoming beam start> settings>connections(3rd tab)>beam

Also some tweaks power management in the registry helps out as well

I don't think its too bad, just make sure you are not leaving data connection/wi fi/bluetooth on when not in use

I never use BT or wifi when I'm at the office. Data connection every once in a while while I'm here.

I left it unplugged and idle overnight with one bar. Woke up with one bar.

Juicy's mod FTW.

I agree with 1st poster. I never get more than 7 hrs out of full charge, even when texting only. I have all batt tweaks, even 4e20 or whatever. Im on 2nd diamond w same problems. Btooth sucks too.

Hey... thanks for the tip... I hadn't tried this one yet and so will now, btw, in what way is the phone effected by turning off the beam? Mine had the box selected so I can turn it off just don't want the cell effected in any negative way as far as reception and the internet...

Thanks...
