easy download schnapps advanced config. go to battery and power management turn all of the battery save options on aka enable sd memory power management, activesyn management, irsir1 power management, pptp1, l2tp1. then you want to do an active sync trick which is in the list. aka
open up active syn, add a new server source, fill out all fields it don't matter. after the new source is added click menu then you will see schedule can now be highlighted. open it and change the 2 drop downs to manual, close out then click menu > connections, here delete the server source you have made.
that should eliminate active syn starting on its own.
i have also taken a further precaution on mine and downloaded quickmenu. it is a highly advanced start menu for your ppc. well if you open quick menu then go to quickmenu options you will have an option to force quit activesnc. this will pretty much close activesync everytime it opens.
these precautions i have done to mine almost doubled my battery life and hopefully it will do the same for you.
