Battery Life

[doogald]

Actual usage is what I'm looking for, what good is saying phone lasts for 18+ hours and your actual usages is perhaps 60 mins+/- as you described?

I guess that you'll just have to ignore everybody's battery life posts then, rather than complain about them. When I see somebody say that they found a way to increase battery life from, say, 20 hours to 24 hours by tweaking with SetCPU, or installing a different ROM, or setting Autokiller settings, or changing how often Seesmic checks for notifications, I can put into my own experience how that it may affect my phone, so I find those posts sometimes useful.

I guess your right, then again when somebody says they increased their "battery life" by almost 20% as you said, then I want to know what they actually increased. Just Saying "My battery last 24 hours" isn't really helpful. Especially when as with the poster before you, there may only be about One hour of actual use time!

What is does tell me though, is their phone may actually be malfunctioning since its rated at over 300 standby. Do the math 300 stand, or almost 3.5 hours of use time - 1 hour of use = A whole lot of hours unaccounted for.

Using your own analogy and the vague "my phone lasts 24 hours" then furthur assuming, since nobody gives specifics, the typically claimed - light texting, a few emails, some surfing and a couple phone calls maybe 1 hour of actual use. Your mystery battery life should be at least 2 full days.


But, as you advised me maybe you too should ignore battery post or at least this one

Thanks and good luck
