I installed MeterBerry when I got my 9930, uninstalled it soon after as it seemed to cause drain at a higher rate. Nothing even close to bothersome but I felt that with mine being stable in overall performance it was unnecessary, so I uninstalled it. Until Wednesday, now I'm using it again.
That's not normal. That's draining almost as fast as my netbook.
It's ultimately user preference versus usage, however he shouldn't need to if his GPS is working properly and sitting idle - by design it should only use power when actively being used. However if nothing needs to use it by all means disable it.12-09-11 07:19 PM - At this point it might be time to think about exercising that exchange while still inside the trial period; you'll still have time left to see if it's particular to that handset if you get another 9900. If it is, then great - you could wind up getting a 9900 that lasts a good while like EM's and other 9900 owners.

As a long-time T-mobile customer, I'm usually treated very well, but this might be pushing things a bit. Still, there's no risk in asking, and if they don't want to do it, I still have my 9780, which will easily give me 24 hours with charge to spare.At this point it might be time to think about exercising that exchange while still inside the trial period; you'll still have time left to see if it's particular to that handset if you get another 9900.

I don't expect the same performance from a phone with bigger and faster processor, and a bigger screen. But it seems to me that when the 9900 is on standby, with screen dark, there shouldn't be that big a gap in battery drain. The reception in the places I go is good enough to give me excellent performance on the 9780; it shouldn't be terrible for the 9900. Even in my office, where reception is admittedly poor, the 9780 didn't die trying to connect the way the 9900 does.12-10-11 11:06 AM
