Impressively horrible battery life

[mstevens]

I must say I'm truly impressed. I took my Touch Pro off the charger at about 0715 this morning. It's now 1245 and the battery is nearly dead. I synced my drug database (about 45 seconds online), did a few minutes of RSS reading in a meeting, and went online to the WiFiMonster website and downloaded and installed the latest cab. That's it. No phone calls, no Facebook, no streaming music or video, no GPS use. The device has been switched on for a total of about 50 minutes in the 5 1/2 hours since it was fully charged, and it certainly wasn't transmitting or receiving data for most of that time. No push email, no email checking, nothing should be polling the GPS.

I'm running the stock Sprint ROM on an unlocked phone with the Telus 1.04 radio. Things were about the same with the shipped radio and the Sprint 1.11 radio. Very frustrating.
