My Blackberry's battery won't even last a whole day anymore, and the thing is barely a year old. Think I'll trade it in for something with a slide-out keyboard so I can actually type on it - turns out I'd rather text than talk.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

All I did was play Angry Birds for like five minutes in the morning and wave around a lightsaber for ten seconds
P-C, check to see if you're still running Angry Birds. Go through the Settings panel and click on Applications and then Running Services. Or click on Phone Info and then Battery and it'll tell you what apps are using up your power.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I ended up just turning my phone off because what the hell. I've checked the Battery Use, and it's 70% Display, with apps only 1%. When I turned it back on, it did show Angry Birds in there, but I couldn't Force Stop it, so I thought it was just a report that it had been using battery power. Facebook was in there, and I tried to Force Stop it, although I'm not sure it worked. I don't have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS on, either. I don't have Vibrate on all the time. I always check the Task Manager to make sure there aren't any apps running. I'm already doing most of the things that are supposed to conserve battery life.
I'm really confused because sometimes I can just watch the battery go down 1% every couple minutes when I'm not even doing anything, and other times, I don't touch it for hours, and it only goes down a tiny bit, which is what I would expect. And it gets really warm.

70% Display? Is weird. Does the sleep mode work?

Can someone pop over to my webpage, eringriggs.com and send me note via my new contact form as a test?
It's on the Contact page, and also at the bottom of the Services & Rates page?
Thanks!

Somehow I'm not seeing the link to the Contact page, Erin.

Sleep mode? You mean, does it turn off the display after a minute or so? Yeah, it does, and I have to press a button to turn it back on (and then swipe the screen to unlock the phone).

Ah...there.
It should be visible now, Ginger.
