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

Well just to let everyone know it cant be an issue with the o/s its the fact that the phone uses ALOT more power then it should. Probobly the radio and the gps. That and its on a CDMA network which uses a bit more power then a gsm. maybe sprint (or HTC) give us a second battery with this thing or engineer a 3000 mah battery. Hard setting your phone so that the o/s changes its "battery full setting" is a crock. You probobly think your getting more use out of it casue ur probobly using it less. You dont have to train your battery its a lithium ion battery. They are designed to be constantly on and off a charger. Things you can do to save battery life:

Turn back light down to the lowest
Use a program that turns off gps
Turn off roaming (sprint only)
close all programs in the background when not in use
Turn off any programs that check in (like the weather program)
When not in use like in ur pocket have the device automatically turn off in 40 seconds( any programs to make this less?)

Do the above and you will be getting 12-18 hours of battery life. I usually do and I texts alot talk about an hour or 2 use the web ALOT. (I dont do the gps thing though I forget about it)
