[MotoTriumphant]

So hows the battery life on the Motion guys?

Mine dies pretty quick. But I am on it non stop playing games and what not lol
Very smooth!

 

[MotoTriumphant]

lol but how kany hours would u say?

 

[HereticSins]

Well it lasts about 5-8 hours but I can literally charge it from 0-100 percent in like less than an hour.

5 to 8 hours use time, or including standby? Sounds worse than the connect lol

Use time. My screen is never off and at half brightness playing games.

Yeah, just picked a motion up at metro because I don't feel like waiting on wire fly to get them in stock.

The battery on this is way better than the connect.

I have been playing with this all day. Up for 9hrs, on WiFi, a couple of calls, Web browsing, loading apps, A couple of widgets. Still at 49%.

This phone has a powersaving tool option. I always do the normal, lower brightness, GPS off...

Took mine off the charger at 6am. I keep my screen at about 3/4 brightness. I used about an hour and a half total talk time, sent about 40 or 50 texts, watched about 20 mins of youtube during lunch, wrote a few emails, surfed the web for maybe another 30 mins or so in total during the day, and took a few videos and panoramic photos checking out the camera. Used the camera flash as a flashlight for 5 mins or so, It's now 13 hours and 20 mins since I took the phone off the charger and I'm at 23%. A day like this with my Esteem with the OEM extended battery would have me at about 33-40% and the Esteem without the extended battery would have died before I left work lol.

this is what i kinda mean in one of my other post the battery life may be better because of the smaller screen i have an esteem as well and the extended battery has me tired by the end of the day besides girls are always happy to see me because of the size of my phone in my pocket hahaha

Average phone user and I'm getting good battery life, but first day - see how it is over next few days.

 

[HereticSins]

Battery life is great without the need for an extended battery. The esteems extended battery was almost the size of the motion lol.

can't wait for the phone to arrive at my door step!

My motion has been unplugged since 8am. About an hour of calls, some texting, gps to get to the zoo (half hour) and netflix for the half hour back so my kid could watch blues clues. 74%remaining lol. Sweet.

 

[MotoTriumphant]

damm I want one!

 

[MyUsernameRox]

I'm thinking of being a guinea pig when I get mine tomorrow.

Leave 4g on, GPS on, screen at 100% brightness, wifi, everything that can be left on to eat power-to see how long the battery takes to die.

For science.

(did I forget any power eating things above?)

Bluetooth, games use the most power btw

Forgive this if it's a silly question, but if I enable the Bluetooth button and don't have an actual bluetooth device, will this still use power?

Yeah, it will draw some power. It won't be an assload but it will pull a bit of extra juice out.

Few calls, few texts, lots of surfing an app (developing), and downloading/uninstalling/playing with apps (had to find good "find my droid" app) and social networking -- unplugged at 8am Thursday and its 1am Friday --- 16%! Finally a phone that has a battery to support it....

Out of the box my Motion had 43% juice. That was entirely depleted in 2 and a half hours setting things up.

I charged it and in 20 minutes I've gone through 11% but using wifi rather than 4g.
