I used this procedure sent by my brother, and my phone can now go 3 days on a charge, instead of the 1 day. I guess the phone searches for service related to V-Cast which I don’t use anyway. Even if you get good signal, it updates something every couple minutes, significantly reducing battery life. [http://hacktherazr.com/guides/verizon.disable.evdo.php](http://hacktherazr.com/guides/verizon.disable.evdo.php) I’ve noticed no difference in service, coverage or anything other than battery life in the week since doing this. ---

Never had a problem with my Cingular Razr as long as I wasn’t roaming. 3-4 days normally without a charge. Head out to the Adirondacks where it’s searching for signal a lot and it’s 1 day if I’m lucky. ---

Hmm when I had my Verizon Razr I would easily see 3 days without needing a charge. I hacked mine but just for ringers, not for the above hack. Maybe I just never used it enough lol. ---

You can do this with the samsung sch-u740 also. Just go to the settings and tools menu, pres #, user lock is 00000. go to pref mode and change it to cdma
