For folks with battery issues, strange phone starting up issues, etc.

Here's a few things to check for. If you're not using exchange push, activesync still starts up. Make a bogus server entry, set the schedule to manual, then delete it. Also set MS push to off.

also, the IM application autostarts by default if you run it. This will keep your data connection active. Make a shortcut to the REAL taskmanager and see what processes are running.

Also, the Ondemand app thing, if you run it once, it will autoset itself to pull updates every 4 hours, again, eating up battery with unattended data transfers. Same with the Live stuff. It will autostart and do 'push' type email with your hotmail if you let it.

Check these and see if your situation improves.

Oh yeah, and GPS priming type apps. Make sure when you exit them, they really exit. using stock battery, the GPS chipset running is really thirsty!

For the folks that don't know, remember, when you press the power button, it doesn't REALLY turn off the phone. Lots of stuff still runs in the background.
