Battery consumption and agile

[ChadRioux]

After oing just about everything to save battery thatat is suggested on this forum had gone out with my wife for dinner. In oder to keep in contact with work I leave agile on constantly. While at dinner I realized that my battery was dieing already. I have been very unhappy with the battery life of the Q s has many others. I have since turned off Agile and have done a lot of IM forwatrding to receive my IMs through t text. This should do until I can find a gui based sms client for aim and yahoo. Just thought I would post this since I have not seen anyone mention it yet. I will post how my battery usage goes tomorrow just using text and usual data.

well I see people looking at this thread but not writing on it. For anyone who is actually intersted I unplugged my phone this morning at 8am. I have used the phone and done a bit of data. I wouldn't conisder it extensive data. But I have been text messaging all day. I forwarded ims for aim and yahoo. I'm using txtMan because I couldn't get smsThreading to work properly on my phone. This seems to be a solution for now. Need a gui based SMS messaging system. That would be nicer. Ohh phone is going to last a def 12 hours. Probably not the whole night though. This is with constant use.

I unplug my Q about 8:00am use it all day up till 10:00pm with a bluetooth ear
mic. and I have a half of a battery. I made about 12 calls and used the net for about 1 hour. I also have the extned battery. I hope this is of some use.

Thank you. That is very helpful. I plan on purchasing this very soon. I was trying to figure out how to get my phone to deal for a while with the current battery. Has nothing to do with the fact that my wife doesn't understand why I would have to spend more money on a phone then I already have Soon enough..
