Battery Theory
i have a theory concerning the battery life of the TP. I stopped by my local Alltel store to look for a vehicle Charger designed for the TP. I told them the charger I had been using was causing the phone to overheat and stop charging. They handed me a Charger for the 6700(wtf really?) i informed them that this is not what I was looking for I wanted somthing designed more for a PDA from today not 4 years ago. The sales Rep went to the back and brought me a Charger for the newest blackberry. Ever since I started using this on the occaision I saw an immediate change in the charging and battery life of my TP. I was having issues with the phone overheating with the AC chrager provided with the TP as well. I ow can make it the day with battery life left over.
Example:
Today I took my TP off charge at 630am.
Used casualy to browse the internet.
Downloaded my email a few times(no push)
had 2 hours of total talk time not all at once but 1 call was for an hour(wife)
sent/received ~ 15 txt/sms
I now have 40% Batterylife at 1130pm 17 hours later I call that an acceptable day.
I didnot run any real programs/games other than mentioned above.
My theory using an improper car charger is causing somesort of power issues with a fast charge causing the battery to drain faster.
Take it for what its worth but I am far less frustrated with my battery life now vs before using the charger from my 6800.
I hope this helps some users as it did me and will gladly answer any questions anyone has about it.
