I have the same problem. I had a PPC6700 and if I turned off the wireless settings, it would use almost no battery after I turned off the device. Seriously, I could go a couple days and the percent power left would be virtually identical to what it was when I first turned it off.

That is not the case with the Mogul. It uses a ton of battery while off. I charged it to full power last night and did not use it at all for 24 hours (sat it on my desk) and now the battery is down to 60%! Something definitely seems wrong but I can't figure out what.

All I have installed that is "OS" oriented is the main Touch file for the Today screen, the Touch Media Player, and the beta of Wisbar Advance 3. I'm using the Comm Manager to turn off wireless by putting it in flight mode - which is pretty much was I used to do with my PPC6700. I also have my system's power settings to be thrifty when on battery (lower backlighting and 30 seconds to turn off - not that either should matter when I leave it untouched for 24 hours).

Any ideas?
