Help Battery woes...

Damn I love almost everything about this phone, but the battery life is giving me a complex. I think the extended battery is my only option, and I actually think I'll do it! My settings are maximized for battery conservation, and this is still what i'm getting...

You have something abnormal going on with your phone. You might try looking at the apps you have running in background. Perhaps something you added to your system isn't playing right. I have my phone set for max performance and it goes all day with plenty of battery left.

I agree. I also have my phone set somewhat conservatively and I am getting over 24 hours.

Do you have a fancy live background running or are you doing auto updates somewhere you forgot about?

I have the extended battery now which I can easily go all day with. My guess would also be something auto updating. The extended battery is awesome, the extra battery bump is well worth it and barely noticeable.

I think you can get the display to use a little less battery.... Use the pre-installed "Power Manager" widget that controls Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sync, and Display... Turn off the Auto Brightness and set it on the middle setting. I think that will help.

5 Hours is not normal. I get 18 hours consistently.

Just got the extended battery today. Barely noticeable, and to my eyes kinda cool looking! If this thing can squeeze out 12 hours without needing a charge, I have the best phone I've ever owned! Time will tell.

12 hours with the extended battery? What are you doing with your phone?

Thanks for the tips! I'm really not doing anything crazy with my phone. I am going to plug it in over night and do the process outlined. Thanks.

I looked at the extended battery it to bulky for me so I purchased a spare battery charger and a extra battery. So far it works out great.

Wow. 12 hours on and the battery just went below 50%! an absolute must.
