Increased Battery Usage ???

I have used my Visor Deluxe for one and half years. I recently found that my VD is getting to consume more batteries. In the past, 2 AAA batteries could be used for 1 month. But now, it lasts for 2 weeks.

Do you have the same problem?

If you are using AAA rechargables, they may be dying and you'll need a new set. If not, well, maybe try soft resetting. Perhaps the serial port is out of wack.

I saw a decrease in battery life when I had more stuff on my visor. I gather it draws more power based on how much memory is filled, as it doens't need to "remember" anything in the empty memory areas.

I too encountered the same problem. My VDX is 18 months old and all of a sudden a couple of weeks ago I went through 3 sets of batteries in 2 weeks whereas before I could get 28 to 34 days.

No changes or new apps and same kind of batteries.

I have since deleted Avantgo and after letting the Visor set 'dead for about 4 days, things seem to be working fine now after one week. But of course now I have the fear factor everytime I turn it on and check the battery indicator.

I have seen a few other posts regarding a similar pattern but have seen no real solutions.
