Having a problem with battery drain!
Last few days - I turn my phone on around 4pm and by 11pm the battery is nearly dead.
Widgits - calendar, music, clock and weather.
Apps, other than what came out of the box - weather/clock and toggle widgit, a couple solitare/cribbage games, clock, a couple toddler games, pandora radio, shazam, shopsavvy, google star map, mabio wallpapers, tv.com, led scroller, flashlight, level, live scores, phone finder - I very seldom use these apps for fear of having this thing go dead on me. I have pretty much taken everything off of this thing! Just removed AppKiller based on posts here, just added a program to turn off some of the apps at loading time but haven't completed updates on it.
Normal Use (at least in the last few days)
mostly leaving it sit on my desk, probably using it a total of about 1-1 1.5 hours in the timeframe - specifics as follows.
adjusted FB pushes to every 24 hrs, maybe around 30 mins of FB use
adjusted weather updates to be 3 hrs
Turned off wi-fi, mobile network and bluetooth
I leave GPS off most of the time
not playing games, not listening to music
I ran google star map for about 30-45 minutes the other night
maybe a call or two, less than 20 minutes of talk time
not texting
no IM
no email
changed setting on screen so it turns off after 1 minute
--
set the phone next to my wife's phone for a side by side comparision - neither one of us used the phones. We have all the same versions, she's also turned off wi-fi, bluetooth and mobile nx off yet she has her screen on for 10 minutes and my battery lost 1 more 'block' of charge in a 2 hr timespan than hers did. She has a few less apps on hers, but again the phones sat unused for a couple hours.
Is this battery drain normal?
Any ideas other than to purchase a new battery?
