    Phone dies overnight

    For some reason after a fully charged battery my phone is always dead the next morning. Sometimes I'll find the phone has frozen and appears turned off forcing me to remove the battery and restart. I don't think its the battery because this behavior is sporadic. Has anyone else experienced this? Does the phone go into a standby mode that could be draining the battery?

    On kind of a side note but still related:

    When the Q freezes is there a key command that will reboot the phone? Similar to ipods ie pressing play and home with a 2 second dwell. Would the key commands work with a frozen "off" phone? I'd love to know because I'm getting tired of removing my snap together case every time to access the battery!

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    there is no 'stand by mode'
    this happens with the Q series

    do you leave it plugged in overnight?
    if not perhaps the phone got stuck in a data loop and couldnt connect to your email server and kept trying and thus drained the battery and turned the phone off

    just a thought

    You bring up a good point. Perhaps I should disable my email from automatically checking for messages and see if this helps.

    thats happened to me when i used my POP account and then when i switched to Exchange

    if it cant get that server its just going to keep trying and sucking the life out of the battery

    could also just be searching for a signal...
    could be a bunch of things
