Well, last night I decided to load the desktop manager 5.0 and plug the storm in to see if everything was up to date.
It was. I deleted Word Mole and something else that I didnt need. Freed up some space actually and increased memory.
Anyway, took the usual amount of time to connect to the device and now it seems to be running a better. Where it wouldve been dead this morning, the battery use seems to have returned back to normal. For now.
Just thought I'd update you on what I did. Which wasn't very much tbh. Plugged it in, removed one or two things and that was it
My battery life is much improved today comparded to it's performance yesterday.
With roughly the same use (very little), thus far I'm only dropping .3% per hour as opposed to the near 7% from yesterday - this without making a single change to the device aside from having BerryWeather update every 3 hours instead of 2.
