Battery Life - This Can't Be Normal

[heyiminkcmo]

After the recent update, my battery life seems better!

I have a Seidio 3200 battery which was giving me almost 2 days of moderate use . Immediately, and I mean immediately, after the OTA my battery drain almost doubled according to my stats... I read XDA on the subject, and did a HARD factory reset witth DATA wipe.....no help. Thought maybe the battery was failing..so I ordered a 3800 Trexcell from EBAY. Then read the problem might be from a looping background app or a stuck radio....pulled the battery...waited 5 minutes...put te battery back and now I'm back to normal (if not better) battery drain....It appears some of us who had OTA got a screwed-up install which affected background apps or radios, while some of us had a normal install...in either case... I'm happy to get my battery use back !

That has been my experience to the letter.

After all that dorking around, I stopped just short of having my Sprint store roll it back. I was getting on a plane in less than 24 hours, and I'd rather have a short-lived charge than none at all.

Long story short, it seems to have sorted itself out, and now I'm getting much better drainage. Sure wish I knew what was hosed and how it resolved itself :-/

I've had some weird battery drain on occasion since the latest update. I think my problem was the GPS. It looks like my phone kept trying to locate something and was unable to get a GPS read. After I turned off my GPS I've been getting excellent battery life.

Widget locker (after an update it had) seemed to bork my batt life on both my Photon and E4GT. After uninstalling/re-installing, batt life went back to normal.

FWIW, After the EL29 update, my E4GT's batt life seemed to plummet to about half of what it was. All I did was a 5 minute batt pull and I swear, my batt life increased at least 10% from what it was beforethe update. I couldn't be happier.
