battery draining fast in the last 2 days

Anyone notice a problem in the last 2 days or so, the battery on your Touch has been draining super quick? Today it went from freshly charged to 40% in 6 hours. I don't have email set up on it or anything that would do this. I've made 0 calls since I'm at work too so it's pretty much drained 60% battery sitting there doing NOTHING.

I did set my sprint internet connection to be always on via the Advanced Configuration tool but that was 2 weeks ago. My coworker has a Mogul and he says he is seeing something similar but I may have just put the idea in his head

Can there be anything that Sprint is pushing out to my phone that is causing the battery to be drained?

Re: battery draining fast in the last 2 days

I'm on the telus network, and I have been noticing the same thing recently??? I did not post about it as I thought it was something I changed.

really? I can usually go about 2 days before getting to the 30-40% range during weekdays since I only use it lightly. Weekends I will have to charge every night though.

Re: battery draining fast in the last 2 days

I take my battery off the charger at around 8:00, and I'm usually at about 50% by 3:00pm. I have had it drain quicker, it depends on how often you poll for e-mail, instant messaging would drain it. But the quickest power drainer I have seen in the internet always on. Check all those settings. I poll for e-mail about every 2 hours, and just run of the mill text and phone calls. I could go all day without charging, but once that battery hits below 40% max, I'm scrounging for a charger.

Re: battery draining fast in the last 2 days

If you have bluetooth turned on it will kill the battery alot faster. I only turn mine on when I use it then shut it off.

Re: battery draining fast in the last 2 days

I have push set to check for email every hour and i do moderate (10 per day) texting. I will usually start at 100% in the morning (7:30am or so) and go til i get off at about 7:00pm without going beyond 90%.

It goes downhill quick once i get off though cause i lose about 30% per hour that i talk, so i usually need to charge again overnight.

Re: battery draining fast in the last 2 days

Thats funny you mentioned that. The past few days I have noticed its been dieing faster. Took my phone off at 9:50 today. By 2 PM, the battery was around 58%. This was with about 15 txt and about a 10 minute chat on MSN, checked my email which is set for every 2 hours and a 5 minute phone call.

Last week, the phone would be around 75-80% with this ammount of useage.

I did install the Touchpal 2 days ago along with a program that auto restarts your phone at a certain time. I also installed a stopwatch last night. Wonder if these programs could be doing it?

Re: battery draining fast in the last 2 days

I took mine off the charger about 9:30AM today and Its at 80% with push email enabled and less than an hour of total use (I can only use my phone during breaks and lunches).
