Has anyone found the battery life of their Apache is reduced after applying the s/w update?

I have a client who I recommended updating to: He now finds his battery lasts less than a day, while previous to this it would last up to 3.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Cheers.

Turn off the data connection when not in use.

I would agree with the last post for saving power.

When comparing before and after - does he now use push email?

I was checking for new mail every 10mins durring the day before the update and now after the update I find my battery life to be about the same as before.

I have only found a significant change in battery life when I have DirectPush enabled. I have got into the habit of carrying my spare (and fully charged) battery with me. I only enable DirectPush when I am expecting important email, and am not worried about running out of batteries. I also have it enabled during uninteresting meetings :)

I disable WiFi whenever it is not being used.

I never use BlueTooth so can't comment on that.
