I got some good hints and tips tho. I'm glad my bold has such a good supply of program memory.I poked around a bit and found this:

Running apps and clearing browser cache are far less important now.
I haven't rebooted since I finished installing my apps 6 days ago, and memory has only dropped .5MB. This thing's a beast!06-25-10 12:55 PM - Hey guys, have not posted in a day or two. Been very busy, golf, more golf, etc. (still not golf smiles!)
Still loving my baby Bold, but not happy with battery life. Seems that it uses up the battery with limited use before end of day. I'm not on it browsing the web and doing BBM's, etc. A few emails, a few phone calls and maybe a quick trip to the internet or two and that's it. Should last longer than that. The areal question is: Is the problem the battery or is the problem with my bB? I'm going to switch to my old Tour battery and try it for a few days and see if that does any better, if so I'll stop by vzw and exchange my new battery.06-26-10 05:07 PM - It took my bold a few days to get settled in ...tinker with a little more Bob and let us know what you find.Hey guys, have not posted in a day or two.

I love the darkened look of the screen and the fact that no one can look over your shoulder and see exactly what you are looking at.
Bob, so sorry the battery is not holding up for you! It took mine about two weeks to settle into a level that I could say..."ah HA! Now I see what I can expect!" Really! It took me that long...like wizard says...give it some time and let us know what happens. Maybe you might be a candidate for an extended battery like the 1700...but Bob have you also tried a few tricks like flipping the sim over and setting your network to home only and 1XEV so it doesn't spend battery life searching for a GSM network all the time? I think that has helped mine!
Know who else might be able to help is P.C. when he gets on here tomorrow he might have some more ideas too. Please keep us posted either way!!!Last edited by jaydee5799; 06-26-10 at 06:38 PM.

I'm not willing to start turning stuff off, as what's the point in having the capabilities if they are turned off.hatlee, I agree with the privacy screen protector.

I do have an app called SimpleTrax which keeps tract of the location of my bB and I also have BeWeather which I have set to update once an hour.
I do have some issues with signal strength both at home and where I work a couple of days a week. The days I work, the battery goes south rather quickly and I often have the alarm go off at about 4pm, especially if I have used the device a bit. I need to start going outside if I'm sending an email and even talking on the phone as the signal outside is way better than in the office.
I've switched to my old Tour battery, I'll see over the next few days how it performs and use that as a comparison.
JayDee, you may be right and I need to get an extended battery. Time will tell.
06-27-10 10:15 AM - Let me throw this out there on battery life: I fully recharged on Friday night and here on Sunday morning I have 80 % left. I have about 9 apps installed and running twitter, Weatherbug and Facebook along with my 3 email accounts.. ???
I really can't ask for more battery life on a phone then my Bold. It is out performing my old storm x 3.06-27-10 10:43 AM
