I have made the weridest discovery about my battery life

Needforspeed · June 14th, 2011, 01:05 AM

I have turned every single radio on except hotspot and my battery is draining a lot slower than if I left all the radios off 3g is on to with always on checked screen timeout at 15 seconds and brightness at 35% (the reason I don't have hotspot on because I don't use it)

Have you uninstalled any task managers / killers recently? Those things drain like crazy.

Are you in a low singnal area?
At work i have low CDMA signal. Kills the battery. But with WiFi on its amazing how long my device will last.
Perhaps by turning on WIFI you are able to save battery life if you are in an area of low signal.

Did you just update to GB, many people, including myself have experienced much better battery life since the update.
