Use the Battery Usage application to figure out what’s causing the power drain, simple as 1-2-3?

Thank you for taking the time to write these tips. I’m new to the HTC Hero or anyother “Smartphone” for that matter and thought I was losing my mind when I noticed the battery life was at (roughly)50% and I hadn’t use the phone that much. I also removed half of the apps that came “stock” & have the backlight turned off. Hopefully I’ll see a drastic change in the battery life today.

Thanks for the tips – I was trying to track down the option that allowed Google to collect the (possibly) anonymous location data (for ads) and Google came up with this page as a match to my search string. I had to wipe and restore my phone yesterday due to an Android bug and since then my battery life has gone through the floor.

I didn’t realise the Google location sharing was the wireless network location setting as I was in a hurry when I did the initial google sign in yesterday. Since I already do most of your other tips, I’ll turn off wireless location detection and see how it goes. Unfortunately I don’t remember the previous setting so I’m not sure what I had it set to before :s
