So what I have been noticing (been wrestling bad battery life for a while now) is coming right out of touch flow my discharge current is around 200, 250 mAH. When sitting inside my power monitoring program, I seem to be hovering between 50-150 mAH. This would be in line with the life I am seeing (around 12-14 hours). All I have installed is exchange internet, and push internet is off. What could be drawing this type of power constantly on my phone? Anyone else see this much current draw? Thanks!

Liltappr10 & Inimcal: You can delete all the calls from a specific person. Just go to them in the Contacts application and click on the call history tab. Then delete the calls there. It still makes you delete them all, but it just deletes all of your calls with them...

Alternative is to buy a extended battery that lasts %30 longer than stock:

I'm around 12-14 hours myself with google sync (push) and GoNews RSS updating every 4 hours...a few texts and emails and 3 minutes of calls...not great but I make it to about 9-10pm and then just plug it into the charger...if I'm out hittin' the parties till late (although that was a past life - not this one) I have an old car charger to juice it up a little...

Mine has never been able to go 2 days...I've had a few days where I've been able to make it to the end of the day with 50% or so but that's when I haven't touched the phone all day...that is not "normal usage" to me...I think my main problem is that I work from home half the day and I do not have good reception here...and once in awhile it switches back and forth from EVDO to 1x...
