Somebody tested music playback on the Galaxy and got 14 hours of listening to mp3s out of it.
With regards to battery life in general: I manage to get about two and a half days. I got 72 hours out of it in the last run, but had to turn off the radios at about 66 hours. The phone then "survived" for another 6 until I got home.
72hours!! WOW.
I am extremely frustrated with my samsung galaxy as I can hardly make it last 24 hours, and that includes about 8h of Airplane mode (when I sleep).
During those 24 hours I am always obliged to charge it at least two times for about 1h or 2h....
And this is all the while doing all I can to preserve it, i.e.:
-Only 2G activated
-No wifi
-No bluetooth
-No GPS
-Going 15 times a day into taskmanager to kill of extra apps
-Brightness automatically ajusted using light detector
In fact the only thing I have left is the auto-sync cause this is what a bloody smartphone is about isn't it?
I play around 1 hours music a day
I have gmail and google talk running in permanence...
Could you please explain how you get so much out of your battery?
And while I am at it, does anybody know how to get the battery widget to give slighlty more linear values?
I mean, if I ever get my battery charged to 100%, I find that it flies down (you can practicaly see the numbers going down), to something around 80%, then spends most of it's time between 80% and 50%...until it suddenly flies down again to 0%
It is extremely frustrating to not have a correct estimate of battery time left.
That being said I don't think it's linked to the battery widget as the values are clearly the same as those seen in Spare parts application...
I don't understand.
And yes I do systematicaly install the latest versions of the firmware:
I currently have I7500XXII5.
Thanks a lot for your help... I so wish I could tell Iphone users their battery sucks....
