I've found that 2 days in a row, my axim was found in the morning dead when it had a full charge the night before.

Something is keeping the battery draining. The screen is off, I know. I do not know if it is wifi or bt being left on. Or something else. I have x51v A12 and Widcomm.

Does anyone have this same problem?

Normally turning off the screen is like a "suspend" which will turn off all radios. The first time I found this was while coming home from work where I had used my BT GPS reciever. At 5 O'Clock it was dead. I dismissed it as maybe I left the screen on in the case. But this morning it was dead again after using WiFi yesterday. I just installed the new WiFi/BT switcher included in .50 release of Widcomm. So maybe I turned BT on.

Maybe its the WiFi? I'm not sure.

SOLVED!
A second HR fixed my problems! I set it up like normal, turned on WiFi and BT, left it overnight. Woke up at 95% and responsive.
