Hi guys, I'm jumping in from the x51v side because we've been experiencing a lot of these same issues. I'm assuming there could be some similarities here. The default setting for Activesync when you're mobile (not connected to your PC) is to try to sync every 5 mins. This is what I found was causing the battery drain.

You need to go into the scheduling options on your PC and change it to manually. If the schedule option is greyed out in Activesync here is what to do:

- set up a dummy server (put in any number as a dummy address
- this will give you access to the schedule option
- change the sync settings to manual
- run a sync
- then you can delete the dummy server
- do another sync and now Activesync won't try to connect every 5 mins.

There is still an issue of Activesync turning the unit on while in the cradle - the only workaround right now is to disable to LAN connection to the device.

Hope this helps
