24hours and still counting :)

[Cleggy]

Not very relevant to anybody but its been 24hours since my DZ had a charge, according to my battery reader on my homescreen im still at 64%.
WiFi hasent been turned off, neither mobile data and ive been using as per usual including gaming (Mx Moto, Live Holdem).
Since reading up on this forum i have done away with task killers and have taken a different approach to using my phone. That was 2 weeks ago now.

Very pleased, anybody else experienced such improvements???

I've never used task killers before. What exactly was different in your approach to using the phone?

I always had done coming from a G1 as it was soo slow anyway.

Well i reckon it may just be a combination of little things i do :-
Once finished using the phone lock it straight away instead of leaving it to sleep itself
If im using an app or game etc.. ill exit completely out of the app where as before i hit the home button and thats that
Ive scheduled as many of my sync-ing programs/apps as i could so they sync at the same time when im on WiFi instead of mobile data
I try not to use the slideout keyboard for typing just a word or a couple of letters, use onscreen instead
I've set the brightness quite low for the display
Also keep gps turned off untill i need it.

Also just from observing the battery i find using mobile data rather then wifi completely drains the battery very quickly in comparison and i do download alot of mp3 files, online games, general surfing (usually this site) so data is a constant flow. Granted wifi isent everywhere i know but i must have about 16 saved wifi hotspots i visit regularly so im slightly lucky in that aspect.

I may be mocked for this post but quite frankly im chuffed with the results as i must be doing at least something right




Added on - reading what ive read on this forum and 1 other about how the new 2.2 OS on this phone is intelligent enough that it learns the users habits and use of software and so and so forth is im guessing in no doubt a big part of my topic of subject here.
