Turn off your GPS if your not using it. I have had my Storm since day 1 and have had GPS enabled since I bought the phone.
I was curious so I put it back to 911 only. I have not done a Battery Pull/Hard Reset in going on 2 days, and needless to say after disabling GPS it's going in and out of apps and loading everything 100% faster than it was 10 minutes ago before disabling GPS. I still have not done a battery pull and it's working a lot better.
Just give it a try, what do you have to lose? It only takes 20 seconds to turn it back on when you need to map something out.
Upon going to the option I've realized that it was actually already on 911. Didn't even know. Well I put back to Location ON and don't really see any difference in performance. Its crazy how so many DIFFERENT things are working for people as far as speeding up there phones. Bizarre.

Once you have turned it on, goto a map program and load up your current GPS location to initiate your GPS. Then exit out of the program and see if you see any difference.

I'll try that, just give me a sec. Doin a restore.
I've tried it both ways and see no difference. I am one of the few though, that seem to be getting 3 days between charges. I think the battery life is quite good actually, way better than my old WM device.
Nah, no difference at all. Sorry. I'm glad its working for you though.
Dang well sorry that it didn't improve anything for you I'll be at 48 hours without a battery pull or soft reset here in about 30 mins and I still have seen a vast improvement since I turned my GPS off a while ago when I made this thread.
