Re: Official Samsung Battery Performance Talk

I too have been very disappointed in the battery life... and have been told by everyone that it has to do with 3G, BlueTooth... White LEDs, my Shoe Size.... etc.

Over the weekend I had done a Hard Reset on Saturday Night and forgot to setup my Exchange Server connection.... I was on vacation and didn't notice all day on Sunday that I hadn't done so.... and my battery life went through the roof! While in the car I was even connected to my Car's Bluetooth connection (and GPS) and my phone after ~9 hours still had 70% battery life on it....

So even with BT and GPS enabled... I still was able to get incredible battery life.

SO! My question is.... is it possible that one of the commonalities that isn't being discussed as far as Good vs. Bad battery life has to do with whether or not we are using Push Email/Calendar/Contact updating from an Exchange Server vs. POP or IMAP?
