fast battery drain
help! I have a phone with a battery that drains pretty fast. i took it to the local sprint store and a tech told me that he tested the battery and it was fine. he then told me that i should leave the phone in the "sprint only" mode and this will help with fast battery drain? i know that phones use more power in analog but do they use the same amount of power in searching for service mode when set on "sprint only" and if so where can i find specs in writing that say so.

When a phone is in automatic mode it searchs for the strongest signal about every 2.5 seconds. This will caus the battey to drain quicker because the phone will lock on to a tower of one company and send a nother signal to all the oter towers around it to see if any bodyeles can beat it. when in single mode it will find and sprint tower and not look for another sprint tower till it is getting a weak or bad signal and then will find another sprint tower then..
make sense ?

What kind of test was done on the battery? A full overnight load test on a battery analyzer or a voltmeter?
9 times out of 10, the battery can be defective. Sometimes cleaning the boards in the phone can help. Lastly, replacing the phone.
PRL: doesn't make any difference if you're in an area that already has an established network in place and hasn't had any changes in a while.
