Can your phone last over a day with a full charge?
You can download "spare parts" from app market and check out the exact batt usage, but I don't know enough to help you with this app. Downloaded it and it showed calendar using almost 100% of my up time. I needed calendar to sync with google, so i tried removing flickr acc instead with my fingers crossed. :bsmilie: Luckily it worked.
barely a day. sometimes have to switch to 2nd batt just to get thru the day.
just downloaded spare parts to monitor and removed flicker. trying the tips from this video:

Yup. Once your flickr acc has been removed, try letting ur phone sleep for 5 mins, and see if there's a 5min difference between its up time and awake time.
The video shows the stock power settings widget, which is pretty ugly and takes up space on the home pages. Try this app "Quick settings". It's got more settings, and, best of all, this widget jumps up when you do a long search button press. Essentially, you can access its settings panel whenever you want, and not just from the home pages.
If you want to have the ability to monitor what apps are running, and be able to kill any misbehaving ones that might be preventing your phone from sleeping, try "Advanced Task Killer". But according to google, there's no need to kill any processes unless they misbehave and hogs the processor or keeps ur device awake.

I find the stock power settings widget fine, will try quick settings though...
So, where's the Android users group here on CS?
thanks for the "quick settings" pointer. very useful but i kind of like the power settings widget too.

i just realised that if the phone memory gets dangerously low, the sms somehow do not come in. ( which is wierd since the sms shld go into the sim card , and i cleared my sim card )
The problem is :
- i get a beep beep notification of the incoming sms
- i see a message saying low on phone memory
- the service provider assumes sms was sent and does not resend
- i clear the phone memory and the sms is not resent, i do not get the name of the sms. and i miss the sms for good.
happened to me for half a day until i cleared enough space. and i dun get the lost sms coming in. crap. and it seems pretty random, today i got half the amount of phone memory left and nothing happens. It seems it happens to all the other versions including froyo.
anyone kenna this problem ?
When my new microsd card is here, i am going to go cyanogen

lol I meant the social groups you can join in cs
The SMS is never saved on the SIM, it's in the phone memory. I can send/receive till my batt dies, it's been that way on every Android phone I've used (Nexus One, X10, X10 Mini, Legend, Desire).

This was the issue highlighted in the google forum:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4991
It struck me when my phone memory went down to 10MB.
but i have had days when it went below that and nothing happens.
oh well. not touching anything for now.

How many messages do you store in the phone? You never delete them?

Nope I clear all my messages regularly. thats why when it struck me that morning i was clueless for a while. Even when i cleared that one or two messages, the error persisted ( until i uninstalled some apps ) Apparently a recurrent issue in other android forums..

For users of Shazam, remember that if u installed the software before 13th July , u can have unlimited tagging of songs. Once u do the latest update, u will be limited to 5 tags a month and without doing some market enabling, i think u cannot pay for the new Shazam.
I am keeping my old Shazam the way i like it Dun auto update.
Anyway Soundhound seems to detect and tag faster, more informative, and tags even the songs i sing or hum ( i am not tone deaf ), and a much larger data base, in case u guys r interested.

Motorola Dext user here.
Would be totally satisfied if Motorola didn't have such lousy close-ended support for its phones, especially the lower-rung models like the Dext. Still running 1.5. Ridiculous.
