Re: How do you get all day on a charge, I am charging twice a day
My .04 cents worth of results on my phone are as follows. I am not rooted, leave GPS off, Bluetooth off, WiFi on, brightness throttled between 70%-75%, and have 3 email accounts pushed to me. I have a local temp. that refreshed every 15 minutes (weather notification from the market) and a clock. I don't do a great deal of talking on the phone but am on the net quite a bit. I am on a 3g network but I leave the 4g on in the event they may start "test" as I heard they were laying fiber optics to the a lot of the tower sites in N. Michigan so I would not want to miss out on anything. With all of this said now I get 20 to 24 hours on a battery. With heavy usage (lots of talk and net) I will get all day on a battery and it will go dead sometime in the evening.
I have a spare battery and desk top charger and use it. I run the brightness even higher on some days or when I want to show it off because you have to admit it is the best screen out there now. If I feel I will need more battery on a long day I take a charged one with me in the morning. I appreciate everything this phone does for me and I do not complain about how long my battery lasts because I feel it is very fair for everything that it does.
In closing I leave the WiFi on because I find that the phone runs much cooler when I am on the net than it does when I am pulling the net off of Verizon. On WiFi the phone is noticeably cooler and of course faster. So if I am at a casino, home, out to eat, or even at the store I connect automatically and life is good. Hope I did not bore you with my results. :-[
