Most things i read about improving battery life on the DROID aren't practical or immediate or they are thing we've all heard, "reduce your screen brightness". If i hear that statement again i may scream.
HOW TO IMPROVE BATTERY IN 2 STEPS
1. Buy a watch: the DROID is so fun to use that i'm always watching youtube, searching/ browsing, texting, oh yeah and eventually checking email so much extra drain comes from using your phone like a watch-
ITS NOT A WATCH SO BUY ONE- only use your droid for time if it's plugged in.
2. Reduce your screen timeout to 1-2 mins- this has an amazing effect- it turns the thing off so the screen is only on while you're using it..Duh!!!! some things make so much sense we overlook them.
HOW TO REDUCE SCREEN TIMEOUT
settings>sounds and display>screen timeout
1 min is best but 2 is ok and should be your highest
if it's at 10 or 30 mins you're in trouble

btw, i recently realized that i waste a lot of time searching.
we all know ASTRO should have come with the phone well the app POWER SEARCH has the same strength. It's helped me cut down on my wasted searching time.
