thanks again for the secret code :D

so do you think it's the calender that's killing my battery? i do use outlook and it gets my corporate email also.

I have this problem when a calendar "reminder" pops up and I don't actually dismiss it. The phone won't charge even when plugged in (the orange LED just blinks and the battery drains). My battery info said that the calendar was 80%+ of my usage. At first I was just clearing the notification panel for calendar items, but now I have to click on each one as it comes up and actually "dismiss" it. I haven't had the problem since.

My boyfriend has the same problem, but with his Motorola Droid. He even will plug it in at night, or put it on the holster, and by morning within 5 minutes it's completely dead. We can't figure it out either. Verizon said it's probably a defective holster... but that doesn't seem right to me either.

I would switch it out with warranty, but then the waiting begins...

If the holster has a magnetic flap, its entirely possible.

The Moto Droid has magnetic sensors in a few spots to automatically put it in car mode when docked in the car dock or desk mode when put in the desktop dock. Run a magnet near those sensors and the screen comes on and it changes mode. That'd run down the battery pretty quick

Try this, its saved me a boat load of battery at idle.

From homescreen, menu/settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks and uncheck 'enable always-on mobile data'.

Definitely try this.

no you lose notifications by doing this. this doesnt save much battery at all and hinders the phone big time.

What notifications do you lose exactly? The net connects when it needs to, and then turns off. If something needs data it will go out and get it. No need to always have data on.

gmail wont push, normal mail wont sync, IM programs log out etc

somethings will still get data if needed and some wont. There are tons of topics about it.
 
And is any of that worth losing that much battery life over? And there is a difference between background data and always on data.
 
And meebo stays connected for me anyway even with always on turned off.

I apologize if I sound arrogant. I am not trying to be lol I am just stating what works for me.
 
it might stay connected, but its also 100% of the time so the phone never sleeps. if the phone went to sleep with the always on data off then you loose the notifications and such. with meebo running 100% of the time you kill your battery
 
my data shuts off, even when those programs are on. My 3g light turns off when no data is transferred, but the program stays connected.

correct, that is not the same thing though. meebo still runs actively though keep the phone awake
 
Lol guess I never actually keep that program on long enough to find out, just a quick see who's on and turn it off usually.
google talk is always on though with no problems.

correct, gtalk works alot differently. i will they would make an app that operated like gtalk so it wouldnt run the battery down so bad

I read this and literally LOL'd at work.. Can I buy some drugs from you?

What the heck do drugs have to do with batteries draining? Did you flunk chemistry and physics, or just barely scrape by? And no, I qwill not sell them to you, but perhaps I could have my friends in blue investigate your household. Drugs are bad, mmkay!
 
On this subject. What are the "running services" that need to be constantly running? The ones that have always run, since day one, on my Inc are:
ObexService (Calendar)
Touch Input
GTalkService
SyncSerice
TransactionService (Messages)
HTC UploadMessageService

I assume I can "stop" the calendar. The others necessary to keep running?
 
Guys, I had the same problem today. I woke up and the phone was off. I was shocked, because I knew that last night the battery was at over 70%. I have used the CODE (thanks bjanow) and I have found from Usage statistics that the Google play music run for 27,031,826ms=7.5 hours. So I learned on hard way that even if you get out from application doesn't mean that it stop to run in the background.
Easiest way to stay out of this type of problems is to check what app using your battery every time you are using a new app.
Hope this help.
