Did about 15 texts today. Various checks of the battery.

As of 7pm, I'm at 60%!

Having the data portion of the phone on makes a HUGE difference imo.


What's weird, despite having data off, it kept giving me the Ev and /\ (roaming) this morning. Didn't see it much the rest of the day, however.
Much improved over the 15% you reported yesterday! No comment on the Ev and roaming, but others have reported that a weak phone signal has an impact on the discharge rate. In my location, the device never switches to roaming.

I assume that you had BT and Wifi Off? This may be the key. I will bet that if you use no talk/data tonight and make sure that BT and Wifi are Off, you will still have 45% to 50% in the morning.
