The only thing I did was to uninstall Skype Beta which was a little buggy and rebooted today. Oh and the Outlook mobile EAS service is down today. Not sure which is responsible for this improvement.. I have persistent wifi enabled and pretty much all background tasks (about 10 of them) are still enabled. I've been wondering how some here are getting multi day usage out of their phones and now I may be one of those! :grin:
