For the first few days it would last 3-4 days between charging, and that was with more PDA & sync type usage. Now it is terrible.
A fully charged P800 will last a day. During that day I will sync to my PC (~3 mins) and use Contact/Calendar for maybe 10 mins total. Is this normal?? Yesterday I made two short calls, no syncing, and after 12 hours my battery was down to 15%.

Wow! I'd get a new battery, dude!
My P800 lasts about four days. 12 hours per day, I turn it off at night. 1-2 phone calls a day, extensive Jotter and Task use, backlight "auto", bluetooth on "auto", cell broadcast activated.
It's still at around 20% after those four days.
Cheers!

I have my phone on 24 hours a day and it is lasting quite well. Last week i had it on for 7 days and was down to 32%. I didn't use it a huge amount just making short calls and copying some files over from my pc.

i don t that u guys use the p800
i play mp3 on speakphone for my friends
in low coverge zones and use the phone a lot
to make recieve a lot of calls
viewer as well !!! .doc and a lot of SMS too
and some DOOM demos for people !
it lasts me 1 full day and 15-25% on the next day
maybe all of you other guys u stay in a SUPER HIGH coverage
areas, i m in CANADA on 1900 mhz GSM, maybe that`s why
and i find that my provider ROGERS ATT uses more watts than
it should. i think so !!!
anyhow, the battery is mediocre !

I have had my p800 for a month now and got on average aound 2-3 days with general use with wap, phone calls and playing games. I installed Handy day 2.5 on thursday and put it on charge overnight. I took it off charge around 8am and by 6pm it was down to 15% so the only conclusion i can come to is handy day consumes ALOT of power. Anyone else use handy day 2.5 and get a decent battery life? I like that program but im not going to use it if it drains my battery in les than a day.

I've gone through 2 phones (one was water damages and AmEx. replaced it free of charge (GO AmEx) ) and have spent considerable time in bothe NY and San Francisco - USA.
Here's the scoop. Battery life is really related to cell tower location and power.
In SF, roaming on Cingular, I get about 3 hours+ of talk time and a couple of hours of GPRS. In Westchestr, NY (i.e. semi rural (read: the burbs) but supposed to be hi tech because of all the corporate HQ's around here IBM, Phillip Morris, etc.), I get about 2 hours of talk and an hour of GPRS. Same bars on the signal meter. Standby is similar. 2-3 days in SF, 1-2 in NY area.
My calcs seems to indicate that even signal strength is 4 clicks, the phone may be using more power to get those 4 clicks, therefore the shorened batt. life.
Your mileage may vary,

So does anyone know what to do to lessen the battery drainage that Handy Day does?
I like the program very much but I was really surprised on how much it drained my battery. It was unbelievable!!
