lol @ battery

I accidentally left this on, sitting on a side table here next to my desk. It's not activated. Stock, unrooted, no apps other than the default and not used WiFi. Not sure why I had airplane mode on, but it shows just how much the battery gets eaten by 3G, apps, and other things. Can't say that the batteries aren't solid lol. Just that the phones eat them to death under normal usage.

On another note though, the phone is over a year old and in practically mint condition. I took good care of it. :D
 
Wow!!!!!!!... is that your original stock battery?
I can leave my phone on all day without 3g on battery will still be 100%. As soon as i turn on 3g to read forums within a hour i'm down to 78%.
THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!
 
It seem to be all down to signal strength, when at GF I can go all night n day without turing off anything but the screen.

then a few days a month, even with the screen off it will be stone dead in 2-3 hours. If I can catch it ahead of time, Ill turn off data to extend it on those days.
 
WiFi on, screen on, brightness turned down (but not some much I can't see the screen without squinting), solid internet (helping here) with no let up, two to three pages up, and I can go 6 hours before I get to 30% battery power.
 
I live about 10 miles outside of Pittsburgh, at home i get 1 or 2 bars. Seems like anywhere i go around here i never have more than 3 bars. There's new towers all around me within 1-3miles but there not helping me at all!
 
I have my phone plugged in alot because I'm working on romtools. So I don't know my battery life. That and I never worry about my phone dieing with my other two battery's.
 
I left mine on in airplane mode and wifi enabled. It lasted just shy of 7 days before I charged it. It still had 60 some % remaining too.
 
i have 2 op v's here, and i am having an issue with one of them, where even if its not used it kills the battery FAST... location, wifi, gps, everything is off app killer etc. make no difference. im charging it now, the other has been unplugged 9 hrs and only at 80% use it all day long data n all, once the other opv is unplugged im gonna time how long it takes to die, and most likely the other will still have charge.
 
It's probably an app that's causing a wake lock or trying to calling home to much or you have the 50% TWS bug.

I'm sure your capable of finding the rouge app, the 50% TWS is cured by turning the phone off, then right after the phone boots up turn airplane mode on for 30 sec, then back off. This will have to be done every time you turn power to the phone on.

It actually is, I'm sure if you reboot, you will lose more than 10% :P

Forgive me, deepest apologies Andy. The nit-picky gamer in me can't ignore the opportunity to poke a bit of fun. :D

Lol. It would now appear as though I have egg on my face.
The first description is what I was shooting for though. Some apps appear to be just that after installed.
