I've had the MTS for about 2 months now, and I'm getting used to it. I think it's a great phone and a good OS. But I do have a few questions: How can I improve my battery life? I leave it on charge overnight, and it's always almost dead by the time i get home. I get a decent number of calls and texts, but not much more than i did with my Galaxy. I have all the extras turned off unless i use them (wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc.) I always lock the screen when I'm not using it. Any ideas? Also, I've noticed that the phone lags at random times. I only notice it when I'm playing Angry Birds, and when I look to see what else is running, (via the notification tas) I don't see anything. Any idea what is causing the slowdown? Sorry for the newbie questions. . . .but I see the potential here! Thanks, B.
Things I have done to improve battery life: 1. Turn off T-mobile sync and only sync my contacts to Google. 2. Turn off syncs for apps I don't use (News & Stocks) and adjust any other sync settings (Settings>Accounts & sync) 3. Turn off wifi and bluetooth and only turn them on when needed. (Can be easily turned on and off with the power control widget) 4. Turn off always-on data connections. (Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks>Enable always-on mobile data)
I've tried most of those, but I'll run through them again. How long should the battery last? Mostly pholne calls, less than 5 mins on the internet daily, and about 25-30 text messages. I just think it should last longer than 7 hours without requiring charging. Thanks, B.
