- EDIT: BATTERY LIFE IS BACK TO NORMAL as of 10/3/11. Since I tried multiple fixes I will list everything done to the phone without any understanding if any of these resolved the problem or not, individually or collectively:
* Located every app listed in the Settings> Applications> Background Tasks> Advanced. Toggled on/off of all background tasks in each app in this list. Only left on my weather and WPCentral apps.
*Turned off all setting in the HTC app "Attentive Phone". Settings> System> Attentive Phone
*Recharged the battery until it was 100% charged
*Rebooted the phone
One of the biggest strengths of WP7 is battery life. Something is either wrong with my phone or something is wrong with Mango because my battery life has been killed.
Pre-Mango always turned off all internet connections and used airplane mode at night. This would effectively run close to 0-1% battery until the morning.
Post-Mango all internet connections turned off and airplane mode running and it eats about 40% of my battery.
This likely hs to do with background tasks. Anybody know what the **** is going on? Jimski any ideas?Last edited by WPDiddy; 10-03-2011 at 09:24 AM.

Battery life depends on the amount of charge cycles. If you wait until it reaches 25% vs 80% (i.e. nightly), then you're increasing the number of charge cycles. How old is your phone and battery? It could simply be that your battery is starting to age w/ the charge cycles.
Here's more info on charge cycles from "the other company": Apple Portables: Determining Battery Cycle Count

- Dave BlakeMod and Ambassador Team EmeritusHow's your cell reception WPDiddy? I have killed half a battery today I'm blaming it on my cell radio. I'm getting horrible coverage post update. I think Sprint fubared the CDMA radio on my Arrive.09-30-2011 12:54 PMLike 0
- Seems perfectly fine since Mango. Signal strength is normal. Are you bouncing around with signal strength more than normal? My 3G connection is stable as normal too.09-30-2011 01:02 PMLike 0
- Dave BlakeMod and Ambassador Team EmeritusI've been bouncing in and out 3g all day while driving around the DFW area which is odd. I am working on a new job site today and the reception is bad here I had to turn off roaming. What's weared is when I turned off roaming my signal bars went up on Sprint only which makes no sense at all. I'll keep testing and let ya know what I find.09-30-2011 01:24 PMLike 0

- You guys are scaring me with talk of bad battery life post Mango. You too Big D5? I have the Arrive too. Now if you don't already know, Sprint is doing a lot of stuff with their towers nationwide. Facebook/Sprint users are plenty upset at data speeds, slow connections, dropped calls and slow delivery of text messages.
If the signal is throttling where you are, its going to destroy your battery. So far I'm good in Vegas with my signal and battery. There might be some issues with Mango and I suspect their are, but I'm aware Sprint's network is garbage right now.09-30-2011 07:00 PMLike 0 - or just do a long press on the back button any open apps will show up in a card like webos environment In any event I haveny noticed battery life being bad or worse than before. But I normally charge my device overnight from habit (since Treo 600)09-30-2011 07:01 PMLike 0
- My battery went wonky on the RTM leaked build and I figured I would investigate. I charged it all the way to full and used it heavily all day. I made it to about 5PM before it said battery is low, plug it in or risk losing your data. So I kept playing tentacles... and playing... and playing... and playing. It didn't die completely till 8:30. It kept popping up the "slide screen down to turn off" prompt but I kept throwing it away. I then let it charge all the way up to full and I now have no reportable problems with my battery anymore. So, maybe your meter is just off? :)09-30-2011 07:03 PMLike 0
- Just to clarify, background tasks are only allowed to run for a maximum of 25 seconds every half hour for each app. They don't constantly run, so I doubt that would cause such a big difference in battery life. I think it has to be something else.
