man what a day from hell it was with that !!@##$!!! phone. i was 2 seconds from throwing it against the windshield. I cant believe the battery drain it took and if read the previous posts from today, you can see the timeline.
i dont know what or why the problem happened. ive read through all these forums to see if theres anything i could do to check the phone if its a problem on my end, but pretty much i have it done. one thing tho, should i have the data connection turned off until i need it? on the mogul, on the right side of the phone theres 2 buttons, one dims the backlight and the other opens up a settings like thing that you can turn off bt, airplane mode, the phone, etc. one is data connection which is always on. maybe i should disable that? would that make a difference? i have to leave bt on because since im on the road all day i cant drive and hold the phone. |

Jesus christ I just can't kill this thing!
I've done the tweaks in this thread as well as turning the backlight down to the lowest setting... I charged it fully last night and took it off the charger at 11PM... its now 24 hours later and I'm at 30% battery life, even after turning bluetooth on and downloading a 90MB file from the Microsoft FTP twice on wifi. About to start the third round now. I want to drain it completely so I can calibrate it... 3 full charge/discharge cycles... but lord this thing has some good battery life... I don't know if I'm patient enough to do this every day!! I've made about 1 1/2 hours worth of calls, browsed on EVDO for over 4 hours... what does it take to kill the battery on this phone? LMAO |

Not at all.
It was my first full charge I've had on the thing and I'm amazed at the battery life on it. I really don't care if you believe me or not but in the end, it took 8 rounds of the 90MB file on Microsoft's FTP to kill the battery plus the wifi set to maximum performance, with the backlight turned on the highest setting and set to not turn off around the 6th round. Once I started going nuts with the wifi, the 30% that was left only took about 30 minutes or so to drain completely. So that's how I'll kill the battery for the next two nights. Since you don't seem to believe me, here's the file on Microsoft's FTP that I downloaded to the storage card in Opera, waited until it saved it (that step takes about a minute of spinner action), then hit retransfer and repeated until it died: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Products/Win...e/007_LOGO.EPS :P |

MogulUser2,
Have you run acbPowerMeter? http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...=acbPowerMeter Definitely useful for examining power usage on the Apache. Haven't seen whether it works on Mogul though. |

maybe I sbould give remnant my phone and see how well he does. he says his phone won't die? well whatever I guess, he must be one of the lucky ones. mine looses just sitting still with no usage. sprint is sending me an extended battery that's supposed to be double power. I guess we'll see. as far as im concerned this pos is going back and ill just jump back on my old nextell. this thing is supposed to have all these features but if you have to turn off this and that and disable shit, then why have it?

And you've turned off beams, bluetooth, wifi, turned the screen down to the lowest or second lowest brightness, and done the registry hacks on this page?
If so, you need a new battery. That or you haven't been charging it properly. |
