Battery Life: Just how bad?

[princem131]

Ok I am thoroughly impressed I took my phone off the charger at 10am and now 14 hrs later at 12am I am at 9%. I have been using the phone moderately text web little gps and music with one exchange account running downloading every hour and Twitter every 30 mins. This is far beyond my expectations coming from the TP

Anyone syncing their calendar with Google and still having their device sleep properly?

Yup, synching my calendar here and no problems.

Because you may think your phone is still not going to sleep after the handcent work out but in reality the voicemail app (the old one) also keeps the phone awake.

My phone is going to sleep properly until I sync my Google Calendar. I know this by checking my Awake Time compared to the Up Time. After I sync the Awake Time never stops counting. I'll update the voicemail but I doubt I'll sync my calendar with google until Sprint releases a fix.

It seems as though mine wouldn't also stop counting after I attempted contact sync through HTC Sync.

It definitely was not voicemail (in my case at least) because i have confirmed that it went to sleep both before and after stock voicemail update.

can anyone share how I update the voicemail app (I'm assuming that it's the stock voicemail app)?

Thanks,

When you first open the voicemail program there should automatically be an update for you to do. The new version should be vn.5.0.0.32

Ok so my hero has been sleeping properly for the last few days until I just checked it and saw that the awake time was 100%. Here's what I think the problem is and I would like to know if its causing anyone else's hero to stay awake.

I add the people widget from the HTC widget section and add contacts with the default action as sending an sms. The device will sleep fine up to this point. The problem is when I select a contact to send a sms. When I do this a selection box pops up and asks if I want to use Handcent or the stock messaging app. Of course I pick Handcent, type my message and send it. Then I notice my awake time never stops counting.

Hi all I notice using automatic task killer and kill all tasks with the exception of handcent sms, mail, web and clock my awake time is 41%. I haven't charge all day going on for 14 hours.
