Battery in "Droid 2.2

I renewed my Telus plan and got the LG-Shine model LGC710h.

After fully charging the battery LGIP-400N, I noted it's strength diminshed quite rapidly.

Yesterday after a full charge of battery, it died after 8 hours with minimal use and primarily in standy-by mode.

I find this very unusual after being a cell phone user since 1994 with my very first phone a Motorola DPC 550 requiring an additional battery to be carried around with me.

Now, 17 years later with the huge technological advance I find it inconceivable that I have virtually no stand by time instead of the some 3 days on my previous LG Shine flip phone.

Could I have a disfunctional battery that requires replacement or is there a better battery available.

Hoping to hear from the moderators.

 

I will execute the suggestions you have outlined. For one I will be very happy with 2 day standby time. I do not believe I have any widgets activated and have static wallpaper. However 'auto brightness' is turned on, so on with the dimmer switch.

Any suggestion as to a better battery?

Thank you

 

Thank youi.

Will change the time out that currently sits at 10 min, as well as adjust auto brightness.

Extremely helpful.
