The past couple of weeks my Visor has started eating batteries. I was using a new brand I ordered off the internet and thought they were just cheap. But.. put in brand new set of Energizers last night and this morning they were down to 85%. Anyone else seen this? The only program I have loaded recently was Phlegm hack. Are there any hacks or programs that will show battery drains? Thanks for any help!

A couple tips:

1) Turn beam-recieve off... this DRAINS batteries...

2) Turrning off sound can help also...

3) Grayscale games and progs may make the batteries drain quite fast... and after playing them the batteries will go back up a bit... (Mine were at 22% lastnight after playing Zap!2000 and they're back up to 65% now...)

Overclocking can definitely eat up batteries. Try a soft reset and see if it helps.

You also may have accidently entered a shortcut that put the unit into one of the debug modes, which does drain batteries. A soft reset will fix that as well.
