Not to argue w/ the "Mario Master", but...

I disagree, I only access the net through wifi, and only sync through ActiveStink (well, and Yahoo Go). When my A/S icon is on all day it eats up my battery pretty well. I'm not sure why, perhaps because it wants to sync and there's nothing to connect to?

I suppose, now that I am thinking about it, the network time sync option may have caused that in itself.

How about a way to network time sync on a leaner schedule, that would solve both issues! And I can say, it's not like the 6700 can't stay pretty close to true time - I tend to go in every couple days and do it manually - the time never changes from that so it can't be too bad of a clock.

Regardless it has made the difference (in sardinours 4 & 5 roms anyway) between having enough juice for the day, and not. I also was having some lockups when waking the device, as well it would wake up on it's own more often. Sure it would go back to sleep, but a few minutes here and there add up!

If you have a task manager, just put activesync on the ignore list.

I understand you hate seeing it popup and "turn on" without asking you, and making a vision connection activates your EVDO chip, thankfully that chip is shut off when the phone is in standby, and activesync sleeps properly now.

uh... that got kinda wordy ... sorry.
