Switched to 15 minute checks on my primary account and turned off the vibrate for mail. Gee, Battery lasts the whole day now unless I'm in a weak signal home that I visit once a week.

I found out the hard way that weak signal can kill your battery.

I went to Las Vegas last week and saw Blue Man group. I noticed that the signal was really weak (sometimes dropping) in the theatre, but didn't think anything of it.

At the end of the show I decided to turn my ringer back on. My Touch was blazing hot and the low battery notification was on screen, even though I had had over 70% remaining at the beginning of the 1.5 hour show! I was freaking out! I thought something had happened to it, but then remembered the low signal.
