Do you have wifi and bluetooth always on? These are very heavy battery drains. Screen brightness and teh time before it will go to standby will also affect this. There is also a known issue where activesync starts up and this also causes a battery drain.
1) Start up ActiveSync on your pda.
2) Tap the menu tab/soft key and tap "Add Server Source"
3) Configure a server source with a dummy IP address, user id, password and domain name; these do not have to be real you can make them up
4) Once configured you should have another sync source show up on your main AS screen...continue on.
5) Tap the menu soft key again and you should see that the sync schedule option is no longer greyed out.
6) Change your schedule from a timed automatic start of ActiveSync to manual under both fields
7) If you try to sync now, ActiveSync will try to contact your imaginary exchange server and that will take forever until it times out, so you can now delete the fake exchange server from your list of sync sources. Your changes to the sync schedule will remain and will survive soft resets too.

Out of no good reason, the battery goes flat by itself. I make sure, there is no alarms set and there is no upcoming appointments set. I have two batteries and the same thing happens. Does anyone know why this happens?
please send me an email at kenansplace@gmail.com
