No idea what Guitarheroes and dopewars do... are they actually running ? all the time ?

Otherwise.... do you have "push" email going ? constant email polling ?

your 100% roaming is probably doing some damage... if you can afford to, try an experiment... put your phone in Airplane Mode for the whole day, see if that makes a difference.

if you're going roam... do the force roam option.

otherwise... perhaps you have a bad device or battery... order a cheap extra battery from ebay and use that, see if that makes a difference.

I've had mine for 8 mos now... one of the batteries is starting to lose capacity so I just swapped it out. I get a full day's worth of usage, including about 30-45mins of talk, 30 SMSs, several email polls (but NOT push), several web surfs. All in all, not too bad for a 1300mah battery... I do have to charge every night... I do NOT leave it on the charger overnight though... always worried about overcharging... so its best to pull it off the charger after its fully charged...

My phone is on 24 hours a day because I use it for a main line home phone. I keep the phone on me all the time and turned on. I do not use push email, just manually send/receive as needed a couple/few times a day. I keep the phone locked with the display off and also use the internet and GPS at least a couple times a day. I also use the SMMS a couple times a day along with about 2-6 text messages a day. I average a few calls a day that total about 1 hour or more of talk time. I unplug the charger at 7:00-7:30am and plug it back in at about 11:00pm-midnight and I usually have half to 3/4 of the battery left when I plug it in at the end of the day. If I use the internet or GPS a lot during the day and talk way more than normal, I'll plug in with only about a 1/4 of the battery left.

Today I left my house at 6:30, its now 1:41 and I'm at %56. I made about 4 calls lasting about 5 mins or less. Got 2 texts, sent 2, my back light and sounds are at %40. No email and I checked my online banking. I drive all day so i know i hit alot of dead zones and roaming zones. Apps running are S2U2 wisbar and just the pocketplus home screen (no other P+ features enabled).

Humm do you have all incoming beams turned off? did you set weather panel to only update when you want it to and not on a timed interval? also do you turn off your data connection when you arent using it? or do you leave it on all the time?

OH nice i over looked weather panel (it was set to 30 mins). I'll mess with the data connection settings there default. Also what do you mean by incoming beams? Thanks!

Yeah I'll agree with what has already been said and say coverage is a key factor. I have two push accounts and average about 40 emails from my work acct and 20 from my personal and text about 20 times a day and surf the web. at work my battery is down to 20% by 3:00 and at home its down to 60%. My signal is good at home but it strugles at work.

How do you guys get it to last so long?
I was hardly using it ... just for texting.. which i turned the screen on like every 5 minutes because of a text lol which might do it and some music and i turned it off at night while i slept and it only lasted a full day and then i turned it off and then half the next day... almost no data either.. not heavy

I can't make it through the day either. Coverage at work sucks. I'm constantly switching between roaming and not roaming. I have push email enabled on 3 web accounts. Also I usually leave bt enabled. I suppose that eats into the battery as well.

I must have gotten a good OEM battery. I have had it for about 5 months and it lasts all day...with some to spare when I plug it in. I use GPS...Rev. A surfing the net...and taking pics. My battery last all day...
