Hey guys. First time posting, long time lurker. Will be more active from now on since I got laid off. xD
Anyway I just got the Esteem about a week ago and I know that the battery life is straight CRAP but I was wondering if there is certain factors that contribute o this. Or maybe even if it varies individual phone to phone. Like in my case it seems that the 4G where I live and even the 1X is very spotty. I seem to live near the edge of the signal and the phone having to constantly look for signal depletes it faster than normal. On the the other hand my previous phone's battery (Optimus M R/Flshd CM7.2) was MUCH better than this one's and most of that was attributed to the custom kernel and rom. So idk..
Moving on..my main question is this: Can I expect the battery life on this phone to be nearly as good as my Optimus' after flashing something like CyanogenMOD? I hear that the 4G/LTE's processor is beefy thus requiring more juice during normal phone use and as of right now there's no (quick) way of toggling JUST the 4G so that's not an option.
Thanks for reading!
