Battery draining more at idle since 2.1 update

[Jetster220]

Ive noticed that ever since the 2.1 update, my phone has been using more power during dle than it used to. I have my phone in airplane everday while Im at work from 7:45 until 4 idle than it used to. I have my phone in airplane everday while Im at work from 7:45 until 4 and before it used to stay at 100% battery through that entire time. But now since the 2.1 and before it used to stay at 100% battery through that entire time. But now since the 2.1 update, I have been leaving work with only 80% battery left, and nothing else has changed, it is simply in my pocket all day with the radio off. Ive also noticed that phone idle battery usuage in the breakdown of whats using the most battery is now consistently like the 3rd or 4th biggest usage of the battery. Has anybody else had this issue? usuage in the breakdown of whats using the most battery is now consistently like the 3rd usuage in the breakdown of whats using the most battery is now consistently like the 3rd or 4th biggest usage of the battery. Has anybody else had this issue?

Just trying to eliminate any NEW processes that 2.1 will bring. Its obv nothing radio related if it is in airplane mode during the timeframe in question...

I've noticed much more battery drain with 2.1 as well.


But the things that are using the battery for me are calls.

The calls supposedly take up like 60% of my battery

I have better battery life honestly since. I spoke with Motorola about battery life a while back, and they replaced my battery for free for me, and since, its been GREAT.

Their web chat is a great way, theyll mail one right out to you.
