So by the way, how to we report this to people that are actually in charge of OTA updates? Just need to make sure there are plans to fix this...

Ok, nothing seems to fix this crap.

The battery just dies before 6 hours, I have to charge the phone 3 times to last a day, its getting ridiculous.
Anyone else have horrible battery life and figure out why?

Is there anything running in the background preventing the cpu from going into sleep states while you're not using it? I think I read that some applications/widgets did that and killed someones battery life.

Anyone else have this issue, vote for the bug!

Maybe they'll look into it and get it fixed in the next OTA.

I received my phone yesterday, first day it lasted for about seven hours with 20 percent left. Last night I charged it fully and today the batter does appear to last longer but thats also because i did all the battery energy saving tips.

I think there might be something to battery draining faster if you do not have good reception in your home. Mine constantly jumps from 2.5 to 3.5 in my house maybe that might be causing the battery to drain faster. Another possibility is my simcard is 5 years old. I will pick up a new sim later today or tomorrow and see.

I've got the same battery levels that TheUnlockr.com is describing. The only interesting thing I've read here is that the people that seem to be reporting good battery life don't seem to be using email services. I know I was using Exchange and IMPA (and even tried POP version) accounts when I had the low battery life.

In my last attempt I changed both email's to download via manual initiative only. But the sync icon seemed to continue to show up anyway.

Mine is going back to Nokia for just this reason. I LOVE the OS. But the issues I'm facing make the phone unusable.

The battery stamina does seem quite bad. I didn't make it through the 1st day.

I did notice that if I had no signal for several hours the battery would die a lot faster.

Also sometimes (rarely) when I connect the phone to the USB port on my Win7 PC it does not enter charging mode. One morning I had a almost dead phone.

My SIM card is 13 years old and says omnipoint on it which became voicestreamn and then t-mobile.

Have you guys turned off GPS/Location services? My understanding is that the phone polls the GPS occasionally to display your location in your IM status etc - perhaps if it's disabled entirely in settings, your battery life will improve. At least with my iPhone, GPS goes through battery life like there's no tomorrow.

I read that too, so I havent installed any 3rd party apps yet. I also tried taking off all the widgets and going down to 1 desktop screen instead of 4. No difference so I put them back.
But thanks for the suggestion!
