Re: Touch Pro Battery life!!! Post your reviews!!

I've been looking up various battery reviews and tweaks and i've run across several people claiming that active sync is the true culprit! (ive heard that up to 35% of our drain is from ASync simply running in the background )

I read up on how to disable active sync and now that ive got it completely off, it seems as if my battery life is better... but i cant tell by much. Took the phone off charger at 8:30 am, light surfing and mp3 usage and right now im at 90%, or 9ticks in the power settings menu.

I think this just might be the fix we needed guys! BUT, im still holding off. By the end of most days my battery is fully drained so if it can last me than im confident in this as a solution.

I forgot to post the async disable instruction.

GO into active sync and configure a server... for every box i simply entered "fake"... that is "fake@fake.com" and the passwords and user names were all "fake", basically, any name as it doesnt matter. I set it to sync with nothing (neither contacts or anything else). FInally, go into the settings menu and set sync during to manually on both options and uncheck the send/receive option. Close active sync and from now on, it should not open itself
