R robjohno Lurker Nov 3, 2009 #1 Is it just me or is the G1 battery life pretty awful and how, if possible can it be improved?
shivers316 Godmember Nov 3, 2009 #2 The G1 battery life is bad to begin with. Are you running 1.6? If so, that's probably as good as it's going to get unless you get an extended battery.
