settings>about phone>system updates> then update PRL and profile. After I did this and restarted my phone it seems to have greatly increased my battery life. Just thought I would let you guys know.
How good of an increase are you seeing?
If you have it in airplane mode for 6 hrs... how much a drop in % will you see?
Currently with no usage and in airplane mode my phone drops 2-3% per hour which is the worst battery life ever.
Everyone I have talked to with any phone in the galaxy line said the same thing I say, background data. This and wifi are the only thing I kill on my captivate anymore, my battery is lasting ALL day, And I do not use ANY taskkillers or battery apps. Background data on these things are down right murderous for some reason.
Yeah because it looks awesome when you have to stop what you are doing twice a day to change your batteries . toggling wifi and background data hardly seems like a task for me and the widgets are FREE.
Hey I just got the Epic and the speaker phone works fine but the haedset phone is really tinny and annoying.. is anyone else having this problem and should I take it back to exchange already?
Ok, I guess its just a matter of preference. I'd much rather have my phone at 100% functionablity and carry around a spare battery or two...course I'm a gurl, with a handbag

This is a real Droid newbie question.... but is there a way to see the percentage of battery life remaining? When I click on the battery icon I don't get a read out which I would expect.
Or is there an app to add the percentage remaining life view to the phone?
Thanks.
