T720 battery capacity

I have a new T720 about 2 months old. The standby time is supposed to be
69-343 hours. I get about 65 hours max. Is there a way to make the time
longer by shuting off features or do I need a bigger battery??

Even with the 1100mah battery, you will be lucky to get any more than
two days standby out of it. Turn off the status light (The little
blinkie green led light by the antenna) and set your back light time to
5 seconds. This will help. Also, if you have followed any of these
threads posted in here, if your phone is Verizon, take it back to tech
support and have them flash upgrade to the 730 software. Yes it works,
no it won't hurt your phone. I had mine done and got an entire day
longer out of the 1100 mah battery.

Thanks for the info. I have the status light off but I will shorten the
backlight.

I have AllTel. Do you know if they will flash to the latest firmware??
