i love my tp. i wouldnt return it for anything. but lately im getting really mad. My phones battery is dead within 6 hours. and i dont use it. im not in the strongest signal area but seriously 6 hours??? i used the original lock screen with the wake on slide off and that kept unlocking. then i used s2u2 and that kept unlocking. now throttle lock and that keeps the screen on. i have a feeling its the keyboard and i have the regedit to not wake up but it still does. any suggestions? preferably nothing that costs....also any battery help

also any help with screen staying off when switching towers....

i would take it back to sprint without your hacks on it if they try and tell you thats how all the phones are tell them it never use to be like this or you could just ask them for a new battery and see how thinks go

Go to settings, phone, time sync, and get settings, and turn it off. then in the roaming section, tell it sprint only (if you are sprint). there is several cabs to help as well, just use the search tab.

You can also go into settings>connections>beam and turn the beam off. Ive noticed that having it on constantly can drain the battery down faster. Usually doesnt't cause it to drain that fast but right now seems like every little bit would help.

If you already tried most of the lock screen apps try pocket shield. I used to have S2U2 and its def a battery hog but with pocket shield battery life is much better. The only downfall to that is that is not free....well if you don't mind of a 10sec screen that comes up every once in a while then you should be all set...
