I really don't get what you guys are doing to your batteries.
I've got two email accounts, both set to check on 30 minutes, I've sent about 25 texts today, and about 30 minutes worth of phone calls. I'm still at 76% battery, the phone has been off the charger since 730 this morning and it's now 2.
How people are claiming they do nothing on the phone and it doesn't get through the day is just crazy to me. Hell, last weekend I was in a place where I was only roaming, checking nfl.com on Opera to see if the colts won or not, and it still only took about 10% battery over the hour I was checking.

Re: I really don't get what you guys are doing to your batteries.
its mostly sprint users who are complaining and i think it has to do with a combination of things, 1) people are leaving apps like opera running. it chews the battery even idling, 2) sprints radio rom is suspected to suck large, 3) i have a feeling thereare some legitimatly bad devices / batteried out there. and 4) push mail is a pig. esspecially for sprint users.

I'm on Sprint though. Wish push yeah, it's bad, but a lot of people are saying they don't have their email on push and it's still dying.

Re: I really don't get what you guys are doing to your batteries.
I was on my cell all day yesterday, shopping for a new truck and by the end of the day 12 PM when i went home after the hockey game and some beers i was at 20% battery.
like i stated above i think there are hardware / radio factors in there for some users

Re: I really don't get what you guys are doing to your batteries.
I just woke up at 11:50pm and for kicks took the phone off the charger, with nothing running except phone and an idle data connection, in 15min I was down to 92%. Yesterday I went to class at 10am and by the end of class I was at 40% battery (1hr class) and the only thing I did was run JiveTalk and send a few replies, the rest of the time the screen was off. Oh and I don't have perfect coverage in my area but I do have 2-3 bars always.

It's my understanding that when using push mail ("As items arrive") the Exchange server creates an entry w/ the IP address of the device, then both sides (client and server) sit and wait until a new msg arrives. Exchange then pushes the msg to the client. When a schedule is defined, lets say for 15 minutes, then every 15 mins your device is opening a data connection and checking to see if new mail has arrived. With this method, regardless if there is new mail or not, a data connection is opened every 15 mins. With push mail, however, if you dont recieve mail for an hour or two, then your device never opens a data connection to check. It simply waits until the server notifies it. There are of course other areas where "push mail" may open a connection, for example, when you update a contact that is saved in outlook, etc... however, my experience has been that push mail is a battery saver, not a pig.  But maybe I am missing the point here? Last edited by J0KER; 10-11-2008 at 07:12 PM.

Re: I really don't get what you guys are doing to your batteries.
it really depends how much/often you get email
think about it like this say you check every 30 min vs push and an email comes in every 5 min with push- in that 30 min its synced the whole mailbox 6 times in 30 min with every 30 min- its checked email 1 time getting all 6 emails at once every 15 min- checked 2 times getting 3 each time clearly with that pattern then push will sync the mailbox 3 or 6 times more often causing more drain. it depends on your pattern of emails. If you receive email often and its not urgent you have it that minute, then pull can be better on battery life. If you dont receive a ton of email (10-20 a day) then either should be fine. I have my exchange set for every hour because nothing i receive is urgent that very minute, as long as i see it within reasonable time that day. If i used push my battery would be dead in half a day due to the volume of emails that come in and the interval at which they do Last edited by SprintTouch08; 10-11-2008 at 07:23 PM.
