Re: 6.1 Battery Issue
6.1 is better with wifi from my experience, and it's also faster and more stable than 6.0 was for me. The threaded sms is somewhat annoying since I can't back up my messages, but battery life hasn't been a problem for me really. it may have changed some, but when the battery life is possibly 2 days, a few hours is a significant percentage of that time compared to the average charge cycle on a normal cell phone.

Re: 6.1 Battery Issue
I had a problem with Voice Command activating over bluetooth with 6.0. So far 6.1 works quite well. The battery last a good lng time but then I am using a 2600 mAh. I wonder if its not a specific application that is giving troubles. I would de-select everything from the kitchen and checking the battery life.

Re: 6.1 Battery Issue
I just bought a 1500 mAh Li-Po battery off eBay for $10 incl shipping and using my 2400 mAh 'monster' as a back-up. Fingers crossed the new battery does it for me.

Re: 6.1 Battery Issue
This is my first post on the forum so hello everyone.
I just got back into WM about a week ago when I picked up this ppc6700. I used to be pretty handy with WM and am starting to get it back. Only took me 2 tries to get 6.1 installed, I have almost 2 times the battery life than I did with WM5. The activesync hack is the most important one it will drain the battery pretty damn quick. I also did the advance configuration and the normal power saving stuff and everything is good. Hydro |

Now, the one I bought on amazon.com from SF Planet doesn't really say it's dekcell. It says Cameron Sino Technology, and the model no# is CS-AP6700SL. Maybe that's why. |

Re: 6.1 Battery Issue
So far I have disabled activesync via quickmenu, I have disabled EVDO via the phone settings (services) switched from hybrid to 1X.
I have also turned of time synchronization. So far well my battery sucked on 5.0, 6.0 and it is still just as bad on 6.1, but I have not tried it out for a full day since disabling EVDO. Also my phone is now turning on its LCD while on the charger, before today it never did that and I have been on 6.1 for weeks now. My sister is the one that complains the most about battery life on 6.1, so I have had her to try everything I have and so far she still acts like it is draining just as bad... but maybe the EVDO will do the trick. I will find out soon. |

Re: 6.1 Battery Issue
Here is an update! After probably 15 hours off the charger with no use I have only drained 20% which for is GREAT!! That means I have 80% and even after messing with my phone for several minutes and calling my house a few times I am still at 80%!
I think out of everything I have tried disabling EVDO was the best thing I have done. It should not prevent emails from being pushed to my phone (which I am not doing right now but will later) and EVDO is not available in my area anyways only 1X is. Also maybe by using a mortscript others can quickly toggle EVDO on and off. |
