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

@ Anonymatt

The fact that you were able to come in at under 400mAh for an entire day, (on your old phone,) tells me that you don't use push email or exchange...

Also, your radio usage of 475 is lower than I expected--- I saw nearly 700 sometimes.

Everything revolves around the radio, and in the case of the TP, it's practically defective--based on the software/firmware in it that causes such a drain...

My Sprint Touch uses 290ma with the screen on the 3rd-lowest brightness, during a phone call... with zero/one bar of signal, in a server room filled with buko RF.

With device on, with Dashwire, Seven(Gmail,) Exchange, GPSToday, and S2U2 running, my Touch uses ~100ma/73ma (if the screen dims.)

That's in this 0-1 bar area... Whereas, I had the Pro, and in this same exact spot, it was drawing 2-3 times more power.

Clearly something is wrong with the radio in the TP. Not sure if it's just software, or if it's the hardware itself... I give it a huge sad-face.

edit: I almost forgot about Instant Messager. I am ALWAYS connected--regardless.
