Re: Battery life

reception strength is very important surrounding battery life results. i have not so hot reception at home and my battery life suffers. when im out and about where reception signal is good to great, battery life is 24-36 hrs on a single charge.

Re: Battery life

Here's a tip. When in poor service areas for extended periods of time and won't be using the phone set it to airplane mode. That way the battery won't drain.

Re: Battery life

APCI:
Something is definitely wrong with my device. I performed a soft reset and let it sit on my desk overnight at 50% batt and I woke up and the phone was off because of a dead battery. I know for a fact that batteries are still good and all of my sync settings are at a long frequency. What apps do you have installed? Maybe something is constantly running in the background

Strange, the same exact thing happened to me -only once. I wonder if it was something running in the background like IE windows?

Otherwise the batt life has been better than my TP2. I'm charging once a day & txting/listening to Zune quite a bit.

note: I get great reception @ home & work.

Re: Battery life

The past few days have been great on battery life. The trick is to use the back button to get to the start screen rather than pushing the "home" button to jump right to it. The back button acts as the task manager and closes apps when you hit "back"

Re: Battery life

Good point ncsportic, I didn't realize there was a difference...

Here's an MSDN link on it, the graph is good for a quick reference:
