While I'm not getting that type of significant decrease in battery life, I have noticed generally worse battery life with 1.3.1.

The battery life is not great on this phone, but the performance is!!! For some reason, I do not mind the battery on this phone, and to me it charges crazy fast! Maybe they will figure some tweaks to improve battery life

Mine seems to charge really fast too, as long as I'm not playing with it. If I am surfing it is slow, but it charges decently while listening to music.

There are some new patches which slow down the processor and supposedly save battery life. I think there's a dynamic one.

Service and searching for service is the number one killer of your battery. Also to increase battery life turn off GPS and dim your screen.

I installed both (at seperate times) the smartflex 500 & 600 patch. For some reason I did not notice much of a battery difference. Battery is slightly better on the 500 patch. Put performance is super fast with the 600 patch. I really just think that battery life got worse with the webos 1.3 update.

So you liked the 600 patch Chulo?

I can't find the 600 patch anyways since it was removed so blah!

I saw a few posts that say the 600 might still be on the internalz wiki, any idea where I can find this? I am running the 550 right now, but I want to try the 600.
