I finally got the change to get a android device traded my iphone 4 for this atrix but i feel so stuck i dont what apps to get or how should i start customizing this monster any suggestions?
The battery life is terrible, like REAL terrible..
I just have a live walpaper and adw.. and i hardly get 6hrs.
last night i charged it to full n slept.. n in the morning its down to 40%.
I think you are the exception. Most people have great battery life. I take mine off the charger at about 7am and it will be at 20 or 30% at 10pm, and that is with medium to heavy use.

yes it actually does. the phone will try to search for a signal and it takes a lot of battery power. connect to wifi whenever possible at home and at work. I'm on wifi 90% of the time and my battery usually lasts for 16 to 19 hours with normal use. (i even posted screenshots of it somehwere on this forum ) when the phone is connected to a good wifi signal it will actually wont waste its resources on searching for one. try that.Some others have same prob too

BTW i am in a low to medium(never full) signal coverage all day.. does that effect the battery life?

well if the signal sucks so much at your work place you may want to simply activate airplane mode. it willl turn off the data along with cellular signal. you wont be able to recieve phone calls but the battery wont be wasted. on my previous job, my desk was in the basement so there was no signal at all and i alway had the data and cellular off. on my old blackberry bold 9000...Sadly.. No wifi at my work place.. Looks like I am kinda screwed lol.. I will try completely draining n recharging the battery for couple more days n c if that helps
