I compare the battery life to my Treo 700w. Currently my Treo is still running on a charge for 3 days and is still at 50% battery life with bluetooth on. As I said earlier, my TP only lasts 12 hours max with zero talk time.
Is this typical? My standby time seems pretty poor. I read this entire thread and didn't see much as far as what people are expecting for standby time. I saw a few tweaks that are supposed to improve battery time but why is it so much worse than my Treo? I realize my Treo has a larger battery but it will go a week between charges in standby.
Thanks for any info. Like I said, I read the entire thread but still didn't see any reason why standby is sooo poor on the TP. Bigger processor and more memory sure but it shouldn't be as bad as it is right? I've had the Treo for 2 years so I know what to expect from a smart phone running windows mobile.
Can anyone suggest any other tweak to improve battery life or actually reduce power consumption? Is there a list somewhere?
Thanks,
Darren

You keep your GPS Radio on? If you are not using it, it makes no sense to keep it on. This probably is not the same as Wifi, where it goes into a very low-power state, because I am pretty sure GPS uses a lot more power. I'd reccomend you not leaving it on.
