I always have WiFi and GPS on and use bluetooth occasionally throughout the day. Once I found out it was YouMail killing my battery and uninstalled it, I get 20-24 hours on one charge with heavy use. I also have my exchange account set up to receive mail as it arrives. Did you check your awake time? My guess would be that its either at or real close to 100%. Since getting rid of YouMail, mine stays right around 16%.

What is wrong with my battery?

My awake time is fine, I have been checking it. Honestly, this phones battery makes the iPhone's battery a God-send....seriously. I expect more quality from HTC.I always have WiFi and GPS on and use bluetooth occasionally throughout the day.

Well, what I'm going to do is wait until after the Dec. 11th update that is supposed to be coming for the Eris and see how the entire phone itself behaves. If I feel that I'm still having issues, I will simply exchange it for another one. I came from the Storm 2. BlackBerry is out of the question, WinMo....yeah right. I don't like the Moto Droid because of its design. I will just have them send me another new Eris.
I just shut my phone off for the day. It's 11PM. After 2 days, I have 60% left. I have everything shut off unless I need to use it. If I need to check e=mail or check something on the web, I turn the mobile network on. Otherwise I keep it off. Same with Bluetooth, or GPS. WiFi is always off. Screen brightness turned down to about 25%, and it's still plenty bright. And yes, I use my phone. Occasional calls, e-mails, texts, checking things on the web occasionally, etc. No apps running, and have only downloaded one - scientific calculator. No social network stuff. (But I'm an old fart.)
Well, I'm glad you found something to work for you....assuming I read your post correctly. Anyway, I still say, that no one should have to go around shutting have the stuff off just to get a decent battery life. Its unfair to all users that these devices are completely underpowered and HTC is making us do stuff that kind of defeats the purpose of having a smartphone to begin with. That is just not right.
What is this for? At any rate, I find the emails to be valuable. Especially when they put the person's response in the email too. It allows me to see what is said without having to go to the site if I don't need to respond. LOLP.S. To turn off e-mail notification of threads you are subscribed to, go to "User CP". You will find the options to turn it off in there. You can also set default to not automatically subscribe to threads you post in.

It's for the person that started this thread. He asked how to do that.

Why in the world would you buy a smart phone?
String & Cans
Seems like a waste of $$$. Why not just use a string & cans? Seriously, if you have to dumb-down the phone this much, you probably should just buy a cheap Nokia.

Thats what im saying. Not a dig, but by shutting everything off, you're totally defeating the purpose of having a smart phone.
I don't see the connection between shutting things off when they are not in use and your assumption that this means they are not being used. When I am home or work I turn off Mobile and turn on Wi-Fi. Other places I do the opposite. If I am not going to be using either for a while, I turn both off. I turn on GPS when I want to use it and leave it off most of the time.
I also turn off lights during the day and when I leave a room at night.....doing so doesn't mean I should start carrying a flashlight or candles instead.
