Never had a problem with the battery life until now, anyone had this problem?

« on: September 12, 2008, 08:03:47 PM »

My battery life use to be fine until now. I use to text alot, talk a decent amount, check emails and the web without having my phone die. Lately I haven't done much on the phone besides texting a few messeges and checking the news, scores and email and then all of a sudden the battery life gets real low as compared as before. Now I noticed all this happening after I got a PRL update(60613) like a week ago. Before that it worked fine. Would this update affect my battery life by any chance? Anyone have any ideas before I go to the sprint store? Any way I can go back to 60612?

Are you in a good coverage area.

This may be kicking into roam a bit more with the new PRL update.

If you have good coverage ( Like I do) just put your Phone on Sprint Only and see of that helps.

Then the PRL should have no effect at all. It just updates what towers you Roam to .

I know that pulling up the news and scores have been having some issues I wonder if thats causing more streaming . That is the single most draw from the nattery in my research.

Had this issue for one-day ... thought it was due to me leaving the phone on a web browser page
for future reading [with screen off] ... but now think it's perhaps Sprint maintenance work.
