Corporate Email and battery life??

[bryangard]

I bought the extended battery and have been very dissapointed by the duration which it lasts. I usually burn through this thing in about 8 hours without barely using the phoe to do any talking!

Is there a setting to reduce the amount of time it is checking my corp email server for new mail? I have to beleive that is contributing to my batteries decline. I currently get email to my phone before it even hits my inbox on my laptop!

Any help would be appreciated.

In ActiveSync on the Q, go to Menu, then Schedule. I think the default setting for Peak times is "As items arrive." I usually change mine to every 10 minutes or so - a nice compromise for my usage at least. From what I've seen on other devices (never attempted a benchmark type test on the Q), keeping it at "As items arrive" drastically reduces battery life.

You Rock! That did the trick
