Help Help! Up Time = Awake Time

[Liquoredolce]

hahaha I agree with you to an extent, when I fixed it with the BW fix prior to the hard reset, it would randomly come back as well. I'm going to keep BW uninstalled for a couple of days and see what happens.

Right now I've been unplugged for 3 hours and have 85% battery life, yesterday by this point I believe I was at 70% if not less.

As you said, it's such a pain in the ass if you want to go out and do something, knowing your phone won't make it through, but as long as you can figure out how to get it to sleep, the battery shouldn't be an issue.

Just remember to disable the calendar every time you restart, that makes a huge difference for me. I looked at my "battery sleep usage" via a battery life app, and all day yesterday (after deleting BW) it said Calendar was at 70% of the sleep usage. I disabled it about 20 min after restarting, but left the phone on for the rest of the day and nothing budged that 70%, meaning nothing else used almost any of the battery while the phone was asleep.

I'll try that tomorrow. If the phone would stay asleep when I wasn't using it I think I could last for 2 days without a charge. (although talking on the phone kills it no matter what) If I catch it quickly enough I win. Otherwise the bug does.

Your awake time should be less than your up time, so your battery usage is fine. As for what kills your battery well that entirely depends on how you use your phone. I turned all my social networking to only manually update, turn GPS off unless I'm using navigation, and I changed my screen to automatic brightness and for my screen to time out at 15 seconds. Those helped my battery life.

i dont think i have anything activated, dont use my gps unless i am going home which is like twice a yearish, i dont download any apps, or anything like that... i think i should be fine, was just wondering and lost as to what the other two were talking about and didnt know if their times were much better than mine? i basically have my phone to email my husband when he is on deployment and talk to him and a little bit of texting and checking my facebook using the internet icon not the facebook app... thats it..
