I have been reading this forum for some time now and decided to register to share something I found out.
I have followed most of the battery saving tips I could find in this forum. I can get fairly good battery life. But I have alway been angry about the amount of juice spend in idle.
I have all the radios OFF, except for the main Phone function. I only power bluetooth, gps and wifi on when they are needed.
I have also turned off automatic sync. Here's the problem: I THOUGH that automatic sync was off. Actualy it wasn't because of the following widget in the bottom of this screen:

Everytime you push sync ON and then push it OFF, autosync remains ON.
It's definitely a bug in that widget.
For the first time since I had this phone, it has a full bar after a whole day being not used (a Sunday staying home).
I suggest this tip/bug report is added to those nice threads that put together all the battery saving tips.
