I tried using the search tool and I didn't find what I'm about to say in this thread, so here goes. I just got my Photon yesterday (I know, newbie). It is my first Motorola experience since the razor, and also it was my other Motorola choice of phone at the time (I was with Virgin Mobile, so I was contemplating the triumph, Glad I chose otherwise). After getting home, I used my phone from around 5:30 to 11:30, texting, web-browsing, WiFi, syncing spotify, and using widgets. My battery dropped only 20%. But one thing I noticed is that if my phone went to sleep too long, it would auto disconnect from the WiFi AND 3G. It happened 3 times, messing up my sync so after the third dream, I went into setting to see if there was a data disconnect settings. After tinkering around a little, I found the Battery and Data Manager setting (above HDMI, below Display). Now I found my so called answer to my so called problem. In this setting it literally allows you to change how your phone acts, mines was set to "Nighttime saver" mode. Theres 3 settings, "Maximum battery saver-severely restricts auto updates", "Nighttime saver-Norm throughout the day, battery saving at night", and "Performance mode-allows all data and syncing without any restrictions". This phone has a power manager like our PC has power settings. There's also a Data saver option, it changes how all the main programs that use data act, so you can save even more power. This phone just keeps getting better and better. By the way, before I found out about this, my phone lasted all night off charger and lost 0%.
