Hi all!
I bought an X10 Mini Pro based on the reviews of the X10 Mini. In a few reviews, the reviewer said that it lasted nearly 2 days even while being tested. Some of the posts in the X10 Mini forum seem to indicate similar battery life, and that going for even more than 2 days is possible.
So how come my X10 Mini Pro has gone sub-10% in only 20 hours?
That was with display dimmed to 25%, GPS off, sync off, wifi off, bluetooth off, and silent mode on. There's no apps preventing the phone from sleeping, either. All I've done since the last charge is about 15 minutes of internet browsing, two hours of playing mp3s (screen off), and written one text. Is that considered heavy use? Maybe it's not going to be a replacement for my mp3 player, after all.. :|
So what's other peoples experience with the battery life so far? Has anyone managed to get more than 24 hours out of it?
Update:
I turned off 3G, and battery life's improved a fair whack! Only down to 79% after 16 hours, with one hour of playing mp3s.
I don't know how much battery use 3G is supposed to take up, but I do know that searching for a network eats battery like nothing else, and that my 3G connection is VERY choppy while I'm at home - going on and off all the time. Maybe the constant switching between 2G and 3G was eating up the battery.
