Battery drain TyTn

[avorlando]

All,
I am experiencing serious battery drain on my TyTn. WiFi and Bluetooth are disabled and 100% charged battery drains overnight. This can't be normal even with 3G. Does anyone else experience this?

For me this is normal for 3G. My TyTN will last roughly 24 hours with UMTS/3G turned on, and 3-4 days with 3G turned off...

Mine isn't lasting that long... How do u turn 3g off?

[Moskus]

Phone -> Menu -> Options -> Band (?) -> Set it from auto to "GSM".

Use bandswitch. It will do the change very fast.

I think the Battery Drain problem relates to always on 3G connection. Infact I had also configured Outlook Software to check and download the emails from my POP3 Server after every 15 minutes. Apart from that, I was not using the Internet connectivity for any other application. But still around 10 to 15 percent of the Battery was getting consumed every Hour and which was quite high.

I have now Hard Reset my PDA and configured the PDA to only use GPRS (i.e. GSM) for checking the emails after every 15 minutes. I have not installed any additional Software after Hard Reset and now I am using the PDA as per the default factory settings. Only Outlook is checking the emails after every 15 minutes.

Now the Battery consumption has been around 30% in the last 12 Hours (i.e. from 100% to 70%). During this period, I have not received any calls and I have not used my PDA for any other purpose.

Kindly advise if the above consumption is normal or is it still on the higher side.

Many Thanks.

this looks normal to me. i do about 20-30% for a day depending on the amount of mail I get. this is through GPRS of course. 3G seems to suck battery at least 100% faster

It also depends on the Radio you have installed. I had 1.18 and experienced a heavy drain on 3G along with other users who upgraded to the RSA 1.35 ROM release. Since moving on to the 1.27 radio my battery consumption is now acceptable again.
Maybe this assists.
