I put this in another thread, but I'll copy it over here. it takes care of my battery issues mostly. However most people say to use Juice defender, but I honestly need like a walk through of what the damn thing does because either I'm lazy (Possible) or just ignorant (also possible) and I'm not entirely sure if I'm supposed to configure it to do certain things.
A Lot of complaints about the Battery life. This is pretty easily taken care of.
1) lower the number of times you have things check in.
Meaning, Disable Auto update from Facebook,
only have gmail check when you open it for email directly.
reduce updates from the weather. I think the default is 1 hour. No ones weather changes that quickly, mine is currently set to 6. (But I Also live in an area where it'll rain for 5 days straight and there is very little temp variation.)
reduce the update from you twitter feed.
every app you have running in the background takes battery to maintain. Use the task Killer and kill the ones you don't use. (words with friends is notorious for this.)
2. ) Disable GPS, The GPS only does you any good when you're outside. Having it on constantly is a quick and really hard drain on your battery.
3) don't use a live wallpaper. Yes they are awesome, yes they are cool. but it's a tax on your battery.
I changed a lot of these settings to an hour to 3 hours. to 6 hours and my battery last pretty much all day, and that's with the heavy texting I do.
And if nothing else, you can buy a bigger battery and replace the one in the Inspire. Good luck doing that with anything Crapple puts out.
