I'm on an E70 - if I want battery life, I turn Jaiku off.
It's unfortunate, but it's a simple reality - the always-on nature of Jaiku means that there's a constant data connection going to and from to the nearest cell tower.
It always seems to be the way - battery life is always outstripped by the uses to which we want to put the technology powered by it.
hmmm.. Mail4Exchange doesn't seem to chug the battery too much. Can we do something with a longer "heartbeat" interval for Jaiku? Set long timeouts on the webserver (or mobile virtual host or whatevs).
As far as I understand, that's not the way it works, unfortunately - the mobile client isn't polling Jaiku's servers for updates, it's always connected and thus receives updates almost instantly.
Think of it as more like an IM client than a web browser...
JadeMonkee, new upcoming release has fixed some bugs that caused very bad battery life. Jaiku definetly eats battery in normal use, but it shouldn't consume that much that your battery only lasts 12 hours!
Paul, i'm talking about 0.56.2. If you are still experiencing that bad battery life, we need to figure out, what's the difference in your network behavior

i've found that too on N95. yes disconnecting does help but then there isn't much point in having it is there!

Teemu, are you talking about a version after the 0.56.2 beta or are you referring to the current beta?

Okay I'm running 0.49. Hook me up as a beta tester for .56.2 pretty please?
