My flisties, you are awesome. Please help a gal out with the following:

1) Is there an Ashes to Ashes icon community?

2) I have recently been forced into a proper smart phone (my old phone was giving me the blue screen of death) and it has a craptastic battery life. I don't make phone calls, occasionally send text messages and I use the internet only to check my email. Does anyone know why the battery life is so craptastic? Is there a solution for it? (Phone is a Samsung Wave.) Do all Smart Phones have this problem?

2) How craptastic is craptastic?

And... sort of? A lot of battery life is drained if you have certain things switched on - GPS, automatic wireless search, bluetooth, other stuff in that vein. I got one a couple of weeks ago and it generally lasts me two days, maybe three, (with quite a lot of surfing), if all of that stuff is switched off. (Is HTC though, not Samsung, and I don't know how much the battery varies between the brands.)

Or it might be a shit battery.

I've got an iPhone and I have to charge it every day. Sometimes twice. It's a nightmare. (Although it's a fabulous phone!)

One thing someone did mention to me was to make sure you'd not left the internet browser on an actual website, as they said this can drain the battery. I'm not sure how true that is, but I'd rather not tempt fate!
