Hey you guys. I started a thread so we could consolidate info on which apps were keeping the phone awake. We need to make more progress on the battery life, please visit and help out!

i wonder if it is similar to winmo phones like the touch pro. i had one and was told to reset it, let the battery drain COMPLETELY and then charge it overnight. somehting to do with there being somehting in place that is supposed to prevent it from overcharging

Ok....I went from good battery life, to awful battery, now I'm back to good again.....for me the cause for this had to be some app I was running that caused the serious drain. I wiped my phone clean and started reinstalling apps one at a time to see if that would work, and wouldn't ya know...I'm back to good again. Check out Wunders thread...I think our compilation can help us all know which apps to steer clear from

not going to read the entire thread but here is my experience

ok since the phone came out my phones battery has sucked....charged only when completely dead the 1st 3 times...my GF who did not do this and rarely charges her phone her battery runs circles around mine...while i charge mine nightly

many have had bad battery performance due to Time Without Service (TWS)...so i was near a sprint store and let them look at it...i was at 8hrs off charger and showing 52% TWS...my GFs shows 2% TWS and the techs at the store their phones 1-2% TWS...so i tell them there is an issue

they tell me oh well its the screen...its an advanced phone...blah blah....now i also carry an HTC Touch Pro 2 (WinMO) and those that know it sucks battery badly...after they do the RF testing and hard reset i wait 30 min in the store talking to the techs...check the battery and 51% TWS

so they are ordering a new phone...those who are having this problem i would suggest taking it back and get a new phone ordered...the more that do this the more likely it will be fixed...installing other programs to manage stuff and doing the airplane mode trick you are kidding yourself thinking this solves the problem

just thought i would share my experience
