Anyone else's battery life WORSE with 2.2?

benjamin_ · 08-30-2010, 02:42 PM

Mine seems to have gotten a bit worse. As far as I know I've got all the settings put the way they were before, but to no avail.

Anyone else having the same problem?

If you just updated, give it a day or so, took my droid while to adjust, battery life was never same, but was better than it started out for alot of people.

And personally since i got the FRG22D update i think it is better than it ever was

I noticed quick battery usage until I turned off wifi and bluetooth. with 2.1 i could leave them both running and it was no huge drain. With froyo, I can easily use 35% battery overnight if I leave them on. Turning them on and off as needed is a bit of an inconvenience, but hey, what can you do?

Check your running applications, I had a bunch of new aps that needed to be stopped after the update Friday

I had the same problem in the leak, but I directly related it to the CPU clock and not wifi.

The CPU clock in Froyo for the Dinc seems to always be throttled up at 800+ MHz even when completely idle where as, 2.1 throttled down to 200-300 MHz.

Regardless, I think this is a problem you will see with Froyo, which is sad because I have had everything running today (GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth) w/ heavy internet surfing and have only lost 30% of my battery (Seidio 3500mAh) ... with Froyo, my battery went from 100% to 93% in a matter of minutes.

Hopefully as the release goes out to more people, more will complain about the battery issue.

Mine was terrible, until today. I deleted the stock Skype app and now I am getting the numbers that others have been reporting. Got rid of all the VZ bloatware and now my phone is awesome again. Bye bye VZnavigator, Skype, CityID, and Amazon Mp3.

Do you have to be rooted to delete those things?

I don't worry too much about battery. I have two 3500mah extended batteries with external charger. So one battery charges without being in the phone while the other is in use. It honestly doesn't make the phone much thicker like you might think. Well worth the price. I can go days on heavy usage and using as many widgets as I want.

This is not what you asked of course but I figured I would point you in that direction. If it's a huge issue then consider a huge battery.

Yes you do.

Not an exact calculation but I would say my battery life is 15 to 20 percent worse after the update. System panel to kill apps doesn't affect the bloatware. I also notcied apps that used to close on exit do not now.
