If I'm in an area that's bouncing between no signal, 0 bars with signal, and 1 bar, it drains pretty nasty.

have you applied all the battery saving tweaks?
is ur backlight set to auto adjust?
are you SURE ur data is off?

also.. how long have u had this phone? i noticed tha my battery life with my TP evened out with usage.

Yes i made sure all the backlights are low and set to auto and my data is turned off

I even change the email option to send/recieve manual so it doesnt even check for emails

really? when i go back to school i'll try putting my phone on flight mode all day and see if the signals are causing it and which running background programs are causing it to drain the battery that fast

but i won't be able to do that because i been suspended for 5 days so thursday i'll be able

Go to a Sprint store and ask if they have any spare batteries. I had lost my first battery, which was fantastic and lasted the whole day and then some, but when I received a different battery from Sprint it could only last a couple hours before dying. I asked if they had another one, but a similar story. They said I could keep both and switch them out, but eventually I think I will try my luck for a better battery again. They ones they gave me were probably from a very early generation and are lower quality, or the people who used them before abused the crap out of them. Try your luck and see if you can get a newer battery from Sprint. I believe Sprint realizes this is an issue with the TP and sometimes they have batteries laying around from returns and repairs.

Did you get suspended for spending too much time on programming and surfing PPCgeeks on your phone, hahah

Yeah, if you're phone is roaming, or constantly searching for a better signal, the battery life is going to be taxed heavily. I have noticed this to be a constant P.I.T.A.! Flight mode should greatly help out the battery life if you're not using it any...

Yeah, just one classroom on the whole campus, my phone would heat up and drain. It may have something to do with the fact the classroom is on top of a bunch of engineering labs but who knows? Try flashing a different radio and see what happens

ahhh the days of high school

[hibby50]

in my school i always switch between 1x and evdo so it drains me like crazy

[[sammich]]

Definitely... Crappy signal WILL cause rapid battery drain. Also, was your phone warm? If so, you may need to do a soft reset to get rid of any processes that have glitched and are now running extra CPU cycles.

I put the telus mobile radio 1.04 and wow did that help. the sprint radio is doing something wierd. and keeps the phone cooler at least to me..
