Blackjack battery improvement
Well, I posted before about my Blackjack having a horrible battery and that I suspected it was because I constantly using Microsoft Push. Well, duhh… I never changed the setting. I had it set to get mail “As new items arrive” in both peak and off peak times. This is not because I actually needed my maill ALL the time, but when I set it up quickly to test, I just did that to make sure that it was working and I never changed it.
Well, on Friday I finally changed that setting and wow! what a difference. I changed it to sync mail only Monday through Friday 8 am to 6 pm. Previously, my battery would last only 24 hours if I was lucky. Now, it made it 3 days! I did not have to charge it again until I got to work today. Awesome!!
I may still look into getting that extended battery, but just changing that setting has made a world of difference.
Basically, data = power. If you are using a lot of data, you will burn a lot of power.
