RRRrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Came home from work to find my Treo and BodyGuardz sitting on the coffee table and my smiling wife sitting on the couch. After I exclaimed it wasn't nice to tease she laughed and said she tortured me long enough.

I just put the BodyGuards on and am about to begin the battery conditioning.

(I will write a review up of the BodyGuards installation a little later tonight...err this morning)

Congratulations, if I'm lucky, I could be doing the same thing tonight

provided my Treo gets shipped in 24 hours as it should and is indeed new.

Fingers crossed for you. It is almost overwhelming at first, the differences from a standard phone to a smartphone. I know with time and experience I will continue to unlock aspects of the phone, but out of the box it seems daunting, though fun.

Glad you're finally out of the dog house and can play with your new toy. She may be taking it back, if you spend too much time with the phone and not enough with her.

Side note... anyone have tips on making your wife understand the value of 680 so Im not having to choose between the phone and sleeping on the couch for a while?

I carefully explained that by using the Treo I'd be able to spend more time at home, but she saw through it because I'd be spending more time at home... with the Treo...

Ultimately, to keep my Treo cost me a Centro but now there's peace and harmony in the Dervy household.

Back to the battery calibration; the first time I tried this I'm pretty sure having Chatteremail+ set to launch on reboot ruined the result. With my 3,300 mAh battery, it's always only charged up to 94% or so; this was knocked down to 85%

but in use, that 85% went a lot further!

Congrats Irish and welcome to treonauts DervMan

The Glen Phenomenon could be a reality, I performed periodic soft resets all day yesterday and have used my phone as I normally do, I spent 40% battery life (actually about 33% because the phone started out with 93% but I'm calling it 40% because not being charged 100% is also a battery issue) in a full 24 hour cycle, normally I spend 60% in 12 hours, today begins my second day running on a single charge.

I want to determine what actually drains power, I'll look for apps that give detailed information about power consumption because 40% in 24 hours is what this phone should be like, imagine with a 1600mAh battery, it would last as much as the 650 does.

For the record, I am still not using any power saving applications like Power Hero and the brightness is at around 30%, I haven't used bluetooth or my gprs internet connection, I played games on my way to work and on the way home and made a moderate number of calls, I keep my phone on during the night (this night I went to bed early because of my cold, I slept a full 9 hours and the phone only lost 3% battery life in this time).

Thanks so much for your post. I will try it but my problem is a bit odd. I've had my 680 for over a year and the battery started to go flat in about 10 hrs (in past it'd last a good 18 hr). So I bought a new OEM battery and charged it fully, allowed it to run down and then charged it fully again. Worked fine for about a month but now it is running down in about 10 hr. Is it because I didnt pull SIM card out (which I didnt).

Again, my thx for your input on this issue.

I'm new. I just posted a question, then saw this thread about he battery.

I'm charging my new unlocked 680 right now. It is warm. The plug is warm and the phone is a bit warm as well. This didn't happen with my 650.

Is it common for the phone & plug to warm up a bit during charging?

I just didn't know if I should be concerned.

Thanks for the input.
