Hey everyone. The title says it all. I used to only have to charge it every other day and now in the past week the battery is running out before the end of one day. Im usually really good about turning off my blutooth and turning off the wifi if Im not using it. Im not using it more than usual either. Anyone else run into this?
Battery life is crap all of a sudden!

i did. and then suddenly bam it was back to normal. I would go to work at 7pm and my battery would be completely dead by like 3am. Normally I would be able to talk and surf the net and still have like 30 % or more by the time i got home at 730 am. but then it somehow got worse. well, suddenly one day it got better again. Now it'll be like 1:30 in the am and it still has like 80% left. Not sure if i did anything to make it hold a charge longer... just kinda happened...
I just installed OrbLive today but this has been going on for a few days now. I had vWallpaper installed but didn't care for the quality of the video so I uninstalled it. I installed Trism maybe a week ago or so. Other than that Ive been running the same configuration for the last couple of months.
I don't think I have any apps that would run in the backround. I have mobilescrobbler but I never run that, I also have taskbar notifier but that never caused an issue before.

To me, it sounds like an application,like mail or the installer-refresh is trying unsuccessfuly to access the internet. I've noticed before that my mail app can sometimes take forever to check for mail, let alone download. If you have a large number of sources to be refreshed, that too may eat a lot of battery.
As an idea, try keeping the device on airplane mode as much as you can to see if you get an improvement in battery life.

yes see. my iPhone sits in its dock til i go to work and for some reason it would either be warm already or get extremely warm for a while in my pocket. but like i said, it just eventually went back to normal. this was for about a week or two. I'd give it some more time just to make sure. I too didn't want to restore and luckily i didn't have to.
I agree, I think that will be my last resort. Ill give it a couple of weeks. I only called Apple to see if they would be receptive to it, and they were. At least now I know what Ill need to do if I do have to return it.
The bright side though, arent 8gb discontinued? I wonder if they would replace my 8 with a 16?
