I Think My Phone Has A Poltergeist

[PsychDoc]

Last couple of days I've been messing with all kinds of things and still getting marginal battery life. I had installed Battery Doctor but I uninstalled it late yesterday after I didn't see any improvement.

And then today the phone's been just superb. Off the charger at 7:00 AM and tonight, as of 10:32, I have 78% battery power left. 15 1/2 hours and 78% left??? That's simply incredible. And what's most bizarre is that I have no idea why there have been such abrupt and dramatic shifts in battery use.

make sure u turn off apps that auto sync in the background all the time; turn off wifi and blutooth if u dont need them on, keep screen brightness to a min, and put your screen time out to the shortest time. thats all i can think of at the moment; its hard to say how your battery life was fluctuating without knowing more details. perhaps if you just got it and the apps that came with the phone needed to be updated and that was using a lot of power at the time; but really it shouldnt do that. and if its not doing it now thank you maker! if it dips down again; give some specifics on what you are actually doing with the phone and i could try to be of help more. good luck!

I use Battery Doctor faithfully as it is programmable as to what you want to leave running in the background when you put the phone to sleep.

Also, the Battery Doctor Widget makes it super easy to monitor what services you have running on the phone.

I turn off DATA, SYNC, WIFI, GPS, BLUETOOTH,
I keep my Screen off time at 10 minutes. 30 seconds is useless as you can't use the phone to even look of contacts. I'm a big boy, I know how to toggle the Power Button to put the phone to sleep when I don't need it anymore.

I am experiencing daily use numbers of 12% or less with light use.
that is 24 hours at 12% battery usage.


I just don't allow anything on my phone that keeps running hogging DATA.... Email is something you can activate when bring it up. I don't need messages from Hong Kong that they have a new version of some new toy or product for me to buy.
