Picked up my Charge on Saturday from Costco. I seem to be adapting to the new phone from my BB, with the expected difficulties, but that's not the issue. The battery life is killing me.
First day was a disaster what with spending all the time setting stuff up. OK, that's a good excuse. Monday it was great, but used very light, lasted 11 hours, which is OK. Most days that would work with a top up sometime, somewhere. Figured I coudl live with that, esepcially if someone comes out with a 1800 mAH battery.
However, today it was dead by noon, just 5 hours with fairly moderate use, a typical day for me. I mostly do email, some text and calls. Modest web browsing. Have configured according to all the suggestions and using Task Manager, no apps left running.
The extended battery is problematic because it is bulky and nobody makes any holsters or cases. I note that even as long as the TB has been out, still none for it either, so not thinking there's much hope.
Carrying a spare battery and changing it out is a PITA. And even then, on a long day, I could be SOL.
I am open to suggestions. Love the screen and generally like the phone. The LTE doesn't seem to be any quicker for what I do than my Wife's DX2. Am I wasting my time with this?
TIA,
