Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like my battery life is terrible...although I did abuse my phone the first full day I had with it (today).
When I took it to sprint yesterday to have my numbers transferred from my dumb phone the sales associate installed ATK and told me it was a must have.
At 6:30am I had 100% battery. At 6pm it was 20%.
My usage:
Intermittent texting from 8am-2pm
Constant texting from 2pm-5pm
I used wifi-hotspot for a total of 30 minutes
I played Angry Birds for at least 45 minutes (darn you level 1-12..darn you!)
I've read intermittent email throughout the day
Intermittent facebooking
I played sudoko for about 45 minutes
Intermittent messing poking through menus to see what they do
4 phone calls totaling 67 minutes
My 3g was on, backlight was low, on silent (no vibrate)
So, I suppose that isn't too bad...but that was fairly minimal use for me being a person that has the phone surgically implanted into my hand. I also plan on using the phone as my primary MP3 player to replace my broken Zune. If that is the case, I usually play my Zune at least 2-3 hours straight a day in the car and at the gym. I wouldn't be so peeved about battery life but it takes forever to charge the battery. Yesterday when I got it, I tracked the time it took for charging and to go from 13-37% it took 1 hour and 45 minutes.
What would be some additional ways to recoup battery on this puppy? I know I'm using more features than with my dumb phone...but I was constantly texting/web surfing/checking emails/taking & sending pictures and talking on my dumb phone and I didn't have to charge that thing for DAYS at a time.
Thanks
