Bookmark topic
Running latest version of tracker however I have noticed that my battery does not last long. Running Handy Day in 10 hour period no calls the battery reports 87% from full charge, using Tracker it is 75% I have checked and made sure no other software is running. Anyone else notice this? I have tested twice now.

Have you tested both under similar signal reception circumstances? This could make a difference.

Hey Marka2k
First things first get latest firmware, I found battery life to be a bit better, you would expect this as they refine software to enhance battery performance, also makes phone super stable, no more triangle errors.
Secondly condition your battery for better performance, I do this and I don't care what anyone tells me I get a day or so extra life than not doing, simple just let your battery reach 0% before recharging and recharge when phone is off till full again, I know it's a pain but if you do it over night it's okay, or if you have 2 batteries you won't even notice, cause as the one reaches 0% you just pop in a knew one and charge the other one later.
hope this helps, condition your battery once or twice and you'll see the difference.

Yusufl,
I have conditioned my battery and typically can go two days (depending on how much I talk) before recharge. Depending on which software I use there is a significant difference on how long the battery lasts.
I am planning on going to R2D (latest for USA) soon, it will be interesting to see if this makes a difference or not.

I have found that it helps to turn your phone off/on a few times throughout the day to prolong life a bit. I've come across a few apps that don't have a Close feature, so they're just running all the time - like the camera for instance.

Isn't this what Tracker's close applications facility is for?

Setters,
I use Trackers Running Program's feature to terminate all running Applications except for Phone, Tracker and Applications
Results are the same
