I saw this yesterday after upgrading to SSK 1.2. I had to charge the phone twice to get through the day. I thought it might have to do with the GPS chip remaining on. I found this thread ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=2124 ) and installed the GPS Toggle tool from it. Today I used my phone all day with GPS toggled off and had 60% battery by the end of the day.

Hmmmm.... that is contraty to what I know about GPS but not an expert, we need bored for that.

I was told because the data connection is not dieing on its own that may be the cause too.

The improvement could have been because I did not connect for data today as much as yesterday. I received 5-10 emails today from our Exchange server and responded to 2 of them, but did not go online for anything else. I was just glad to get through the day with battery to spare.

I'm not sure how true that is. I d/l it, and installed it. The HTC tool was running, and showing data coming. I still had data coming in even after cycling GPSToggle On/OFF. No matter what I did, I could always see sats with the GPSTool. Using BATTLOG (which shows current draw every second), did not show any significant changes with GPSToggle on or off.

This was just a very cursory test, so you might want to try it yourself. I just wanted a quick check.

Edit: I just rebooted, and with both data off and WIFI off, using the HTC GPSTool, I was able to get satellites. So, GPS On/Off, has nothing to do with your battery improvement. Even just turning "Data" on, didn't change the current draw....although I wasn't pulling email or anything else....It was just turned on. It may have been your usage pattern that day. The biggest current change is if WIFI, not DATA is turned on.

I'd give you thanks....but I used up my allotment trying to get you to 1000.

BTW...you didn't answer my question about removing unused languages from some of the OEM's.

Ummm, it would save space but I woudl prefer not to do that. many different ethnic variations in the states and there is a bonafide need for langs in the ROM.
