Maximizing Battery Life?

[nielsassa]

Hi,

Just want to share how my battery perform on my XV6700.

About 9 am I unplug my 6700 from the charger (charge through computer desktop & usb), softreset and start my activities for the whole day as usual.
The conditions of my ppc :
- Beam off (almost never use it, unless I can't find my tv remote and use it to remote control tv).
- Bluetooth off, turn it on only when using with holux gps.
- Always close ActiveSync manually after I unplug the ppc from desktop's usb.
- Program always running on background, Call Block, I hate those private numbers & telemarketers.
- XPUScalar with setting, 0 - 35% at 208Mhz, 36% - 100% at 416Mhz.
- Backlight off in 2 minutes & power off in 2 minutes.
- Use Generic 2400mAh extended ' fat' battery got it from ebay for $10 about 5 months ago.
- Have unlimited data plan from VZW.

In 12 hours (9 am - 9 pm) :
- About 1 hour total calls, incoming & outgoing.
- Blocking ~10 calls from unknow caller or telemarketer.
- About 1 hour listening mp3 with pPod.
- About 1/2 hour running Data Connection with Internet Explorer, google maps & tomtom + holux bluetooth gps.

With the above settings and conditions, I manage to still got at least 50% of my battery at the end of the day (9 pm). I guess these settings & conditions worked pretty good for me.
