Accessories When 3500mah just isnt enough ... (vent,rant)

so im now off the charger for almost 30hrs .. normal workday usage which is pretty heavy

Right now i have 21% left

Im anticipating that to drop pretty quickly since my usage is heavy during the day, but we will see! Im gonna run it down to like 2% if i can haha
 
1 week on my Seidio 3500, with my usual heavy usage

GPS off, unless im using it
Screen brightness at 50%
Juicedefender with default settings, 1/15 when screen off
wifi at home and at work, unless i rome around the city

almost 29hrs unplugged, 19hrs AWAKE

and about 25%/10hrs remaining ....

Screenies as proof

PS, mind you i use the hell outta my phone ... for an average user i can easily see this battery going a few days under the right conditions.

just because the cheap knockoff you have is working well wont mean the next knockoff will and there are several different ones out there. I would seriously get one from the same place you got yours if you think it is good or get the seidio
 
I didn't read through this entire thread, I'm short on time today, so I apologize if someone else has already asked this question, but if you're down to 71% after 3 hours of pretty constant use, and want 8-10 hours of your type of usage, then isn't that right on the money? Wouldn't you get around 9 hours of use and be down to around 10% battery?

Good luck - I know how frustrating a bad battery can be! I'm trying to accept it because everything else about this phone rocks, but it's something that annoys me every day!
