YEP! That did the trick. Unbelievable that such a simple thing would make such a big difference in the drainage. I've been using the phone all day... texts, phone calls, surfing the net, checking email... still have 72% battery life left, and it's 3:38pm local time. I took it off the charger at 7:30am, this morning. Great! Thanks a lot!
I am glad I swapped phones, though... the other 800w was very unreliable with the GPS signal and Internet connection. This one is reliable and FAST FAST FAST!!! The device is very responsive. No lag time between button clicks. Apps pop up and dissapear as soon as I touch the button.
Also, the first 800w had a popping sound when using the stereo headphone that came with it. This one sounds flawless. Loud and clear.
