Talking Re: Mysterious Battery Drain

HTC Touch running SPB Mobile Shell. Blue tooth turned off.

Thanks.
I do know that there have been issues with intermitent battery drain using Mobile Shell. One solution could be to turn off the gestures in mobile shell. I found this worked for me.

I highly doubt that a/v equipment would make any difference at all. Though been in an auditorium that has lots of concret walls etc that reduce reception. Could cause higher battery drain. I have an office that is underground where reception is terrible. I have to keep phone charging or it goes flat fast as it is trying to conect to the network non stop.

Hope that helps
