Battery Life issues
Mar 6 2007, 11:56 AM EST | Post edited: Mar 6 2007, 11:56 AM EST
Agree with the first poster regarding the data connection not being released. I have a MTeor and if I manually disconnect after syncing, I get 2 days battery life easily. If I don't disconnect, even if I don't transfer any data over the data connection after syncing, the battery life is less than 8 hours! This is really poor and there is no fix planned.

I have asked the folks over at Pocketmax if they can add a data disconnection function to phoneAlarm SP (it is part of phoneAlaram for PDA). If you have a MTeor (or any WM5 phone which is affected by this issue, and I know there are others), please post your support here http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=4009.0 - if they get anough requests, they may try to add the feature.

"HOW LONG DOES TYTN 11 BATTERY LAST"
I have the AT&T version (Tilt) and with heavy emailing, texting and phone calls, I charge every day and a half but if I use BT, WiFi and/or GPS, I have to charge everyday. This is expected behavior based on the advertised standby and talk times (I dont think my device is ever in standby for long since I use it so much). 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I found out that I constantly have to view programs running in the background in order to conserve battery life. I stop any unwanted programs running, so it helps. It works for me now....

If you have the AT&T Tilt (or any other newer device), there is an option in Task Manager that makes it so when you X out of a program, it shuts that program down. It is on the Button tab in Task Manager. 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

my battery life descreased significantly after upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.1. The screen dims after 10secs, but doesn't actually turn off like it used to?!? anyone know how to configure the screen to not just dim, but actually turn off after a short period of inactivity?

Go to Settings> system> Backlight> Battery power> and set the backlight to turn off when you want it to. Also be sure to visit the HTC support/download section of this forum to download the backlight fix for WM 6.1. Do you find this valuable?
