Battery Life Problems need advice

[stevetaz]

And the window stickers on new cars say I will get how many miles per gallon?????

so the one day battery life is acceptable even though the reviews and manuals say 2.5 days with hard use is the norm.

[breakena]

so with normal use how long a battery life you guys get from your 650

I can usually go three days but I dont as I keep it in the cradle in the office. If I am out all day and on the phone with the office forwarded a day or so. I have a car charger for when I'm out. I'm in the process of getting my 750 up and running and data switched over to the new phone.

well I have the beam off and no blue tooth and like I sdaid I keep it on the charger at the office so if I dont charge at home it will last from Friday to Monday when I get back to the office but I dont use it as much as others might be using it.

Lulu used to be a regular around here, but we haven't seen her in quite a while. In case your interested, she is pregnant

Your phone maybe out of service or roaming. These two conditions will eat up your phones strength. I can use my treo for a couple of days unless I am roaming or in no service areas on a trip. I have everything on with probably light daily use.

Though I will roam around three hours a day.

That could certainly apply to my situation. I have never really gotten more than a day and a half since it was new. However, you mentioned roaming.

Hmmm....mine is a Sprint Treo and on one side of my house, I get a good Sprint signal, but on the other side of the same house (upstairs), the phone is roaming. Needless to say, the phone spends a bunch of time roaming even when I am home!

The sad part is that my house is really not that big. You know, like treofrog big

I could have gone the rest of my life without hearing that name . . .:gasp:

I am grinning pretty big reading this thread! I got a good day maybe longer out of my 650, with constantly connected IMAP email, quicknews auto updating twice a day, and other heavy data. With the battery patch, and the meter reset, I still struggle to get a full day out of my 680.
