Question Battery life of T-mobile Vario

Hi guys just upgraded to the Vario and am very pleased with its functionality. However the battery life is really bugging me. A fully charged battery never seems to last me a day even when I haven't been playing on it that much.

I've changed the backlight settings to conserve energy but that hasn't seem to help. Are there any battery upgrades out there or does anyone have any suggestions as to extend battery life.

Thanx.

It sounds like a bad battery. My battery life is very good.

Other possibility is ROM version which you could try changing. Do a google for xda devlopers and get prepared to waste many hours tinkering

Are you leaving Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi enabled. These will kill your battery.

I get about 3 days standby out of mine even with "fiddling"

Thanks guys. I think you're right uridium, i leave wifi on all the time. Never actually thought that it would be draining the battery but I guess it would. I'll give that a try and see what happens.
