Default Battery Life

Since I updated to 1.3.1 my fully charged phone wont even last 8hrs of not even using it while I'm at work. I have the gps turned off, and my email only checks every 30 mins.
Is anyone else having similar issues?

How many e-mails do you receive in a half hour? Try "as they arrive." Push e-mail saves the phone from checking but this will only save battery power if you don't get a lot of e-mails.

Do you have Wi-Fi in the office? Try connecting and see if that helps.

here is the link for the GSM discussion on this

http://forums.precentral.net/gsm-pre...nyone-else.htm

there is a link in there which someone kindly posted which takes you to the non-GSM discussion. some solutions in the US arent applicable to the GSM.

but needless to say Ive had the same trouble

If you're willing to try a dodgy patch you could try one of the CPU patches in Preware. All of them hold a risk but the 500mhz ones are the safest and both will reduce the power consumed in the phone while you are not using it.
