Sprint TP2 battery life sucks

[Iamdabobo]

OK so I think I'm getting closer to the problem here. Nothing listed in your post worked, BBHoliday. Here's the story:

I upgraded from Touch Diamond to TP2 a month ago now. My Diamond's battery only lasted about a half a day, but I figured this was because I kept it attached to the computer all the time (texting from an Outlook plugin). So I got the new TP2 and even with the stock ROM, it'd have the same crappy battery issues as listed in the first post. It would seem that after restarting the phone it would be fine for a variable period of time. This latest time it worked perfectly for a week with 2-day battery life, then just yesterday started dying quickly again.

I was about to give up in desperation and assume that I'm just cursed with battery-killing hands, but I had an epiphany last night: I had not plugged it into my computer in the week it worked perfectly. And looking back, I can (roughly) estimate the time my battery started dying quickly to the time that I switched from XP to Win7.

So this thread is now located in the wrong place, but can anyone shed light on this issue? Maybe an Activesync/WMDC bug that causes it to hog memory on the phone after being connected to a computer? In the meantime I'll just connect it only often enough to sync contacts and restart the phone after.

maybe try this cab to make sure active sync isn't staying on. I haven't tried it yet, but i don't do a lot of active sync anyway.
