Loving the new phone, but I would love it more if it would hold a charge for more than 15 hours. Could there be software running or something? I mean i go from full to Beep in a day?!

Help with power drain?
Bluetooth left on perhaps? Smart Profiles? What other software do you have installed (even if not running it could have a monitoring process)..
That does sound a little strange.. I can get 48 hours with a couple of txts and a couple of quick calls...
I know if I leave mobiluck running I get about 15 hours..
I have downloaded no programs. Only about 58mb of mp3's on a 128 card. So I can't go around with bluetooth on? That stinks. What is Smart Profiles?
Thanks
I've found that leaving bluetooth on constantly increases battery drain by around 20-30%.
I guess it also depends on how much you 'use' your phone.
With my trusty old nokia brick phone (2 colour display, bigger than the sx1) I could use it all day for calls and txts. It would need charging by the end of the day but it would last the distance.
With my 7650, the same amount of calls, plus playing games/taking photos/general playing/surfing the net/irc/etc with the phone it wouldn't last anywhere near that long.
Now the SX1 can do even more, mp3s/radio/better photos, I find I use it even more and the battery life is even less.
I guess that the 'in use' time of phones has increased, but battery lives haven't kept up.
