Totally agree the MSLive/Hotmail delivering mail as it arrives drains the battery.
I am highly suspect of any reports that ppl have MSL AND Gmail sync on, that they are getting good battery performance during the day.

Only 1 company has been able to manage the battery/push mail formula: Blackberry.

Else, it's just anecdotal whenever, any1 comes on here & say they have a WinMob fone set on push mail all the time with good battery life.

VZW users that noticed a big change in battery discharge when you upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5, there's a lot of people that's having battery drain issues. if you google this, apparently, people who updgraded their phone to 6.5 is now experiencing a faster battery drain. one of the issues is regarding BT draining battery. but there's also complaints that even when they installed the fix/patch/cab for that, their phone was still draining battery like a drunk driking socially in a distilling factory.

I'm at 80% using my phone from 8am - 2pm. about 20 minutes in calls, and 12 text messages.

Running stock rom with stickied tweaks and SPB-MS 3.5.3 and s2u2.

I changed the backlit. The automatic settings tends to be very bright, so I changed that down to 30% when on battery, and 60% when being charged. If you want to be very conservative, you can change down to 20% on battery, but that's very dark, and very hard to see if there's a lot of daylight.
