Are there any programs that will cuase the axim to turn on by itself? The reason I ask is becuaes I go to bed at night with my axim off and off of the cradle and when I go to take it to work in the morning the past couple days, its dead!

Can something turn this on in the middle of the night?

I dont have much installed, Pocket weather and some dinar software and I see that active sync runs sometimes and I didnt know if something kicks on to try and connect to the net or something and kills my battery.

I know one night i left my wireless on so I know its not that becuase I look for that now.

Any ideas?

Usually found if leaving in memory cards and even more common if you leave in memory cards and have a battery level indicator utility.
