I have a Touch Pro2 so it may be different. But on mine it is under Settings/Communications/WiFi/Advanced/Power Mode

You also don't mention backlight settings which makes a huge difference.

Get a Battery monitor program and report what your getting at idle.

You can find culprit apps by just killing them off one by one.

I can get 3 days easy (on standby).

mslogo, do you have any recommendations for a program for this?

Check out this thread. I attached two battery monitors.

I have a similar battery concern. Mine lasts pretty long (compared to my TP1 this thing lasts one day short of forever). A while back I'd installed the 1% battery cab. Someone mentioned how it drained the battery since the system had to keep checking and updating to report 1% battery usage versus 10% so I uninstalled it, but the battery doesn't seem to be as good as it was.

I've also got the the Resource Proxy and Enhanced D3D Driver cabs. My mails syncs only every 4 hours with no Push Mail. I'm going to try the above suggestion, but was wondering if there was a registry edit I needed to do since uninstalling the 1% cab.

Mine makes it through the day & then some. Here's what I do to conserve battery-

Set brightness to 40%

Set battery poll interval to 50000(via a reg editor- HKLM>drivers>builtin>battery)

Turn off push alerts

Turn off BT & wifi unless I'm using them

Install applications to the card whenever possible.

Always let the battery drain fully after a new flash. This seems to help the OS calibrate it a bit better, I notice a vast improvement after doing this every time I flash.

Think of it like the CPU "pinging" the battery. It's the interval at which the CPU checks the battery's charge level. Ironically, it eats battery just to check the battery, so less battery polling means less juice consumption. This one makes a big difference for me.

I dk for sure but I think The keyboard controller could be part of it, after I installed it on my last rom I felt like it decreased my battery. I haven't installed it on this flash and Im getting great battery life. Went from juicys rom to SsS's.
