HTC Home Plugin (5 tab) and battery life

Maybe its just me, but when I enable this plugin my battery life goes to crap. It doesn't even seem like it will last the day.

If I disable the plugin, my battery life is quite good (end of the day I still have 60-70%, and that is with the phone checking email all day long in both cases).

I usually end up with 50 - 60% using the HTC 5-tab.

I don't know if it was the plugin but mine was down to 20% alot after just 10 hours.

However, now for the past 3 days I changed a few things and now it is at 80-90% after 10 hours. First I turned off roaming and made it sprint only, and then I turned of IR Beam and I turned of automatic ActiveSync.

i charge my phone every other night usually. I send like 20-30 texts a day, probably make like 5-10 calls mostly 20 min or less, and I surf the internet/watch youtube for like 30 minutes.

I think i figured something out, after you're done with internet explorer/ or using any data (checking weatehr or whatever) go to the comm manager and make sure that once your'e done, that the DATA session ended (the little cell phone thing in the bottme left) make sure it's turned off each time. that seemed to help me.
