Battery Life

Hello all,

I had a weird experience with my TP last night/this morning. I went to bed around 230A, with my TP fully charged, but not plugged in. I picked up my TP from my dresser around 9AM and signed into instant messaging. I then proceed to do some stuff around the house. I later picked the phone up around 130PM (15 min ago), and it was off. When I turned it on, the indicator for the battery was completely drained. Is this normal battery life? Seems a bit crazy.

Thanks.

did u have instant messenger or any other program running constantly in the background? if so thats probably why it died so quickly

That and it might have been trying to find a BT connection OR a wifi connection.

Suggest you goto the TouchPro essential thread and look for the battery tweaks.

Most folks can go thru an entire workday with moderate usage and make it home to the charger.

great point. when i first got my touch pro my battery would die after like 6 hours of moderate use, i thought about returning the phone until i realized that my data connection was on ALL the time! after fixing that like said above i can get thru an entire day without charging

Also in 1x area on phone and not EV will kill battery looking for signal.
