K after one week of owning this bad @$$ phone i finally see decent battery life. Everyone here mentioned moderate to heavy use but then again everyone has their own definition of moderate and heavy use so i will break it down for you all.
Changes I have made:
Blockbuster App (i can easily compare this to a v12 engine on a car) i never upgraded it and simply disabled updates, battery life was still crap and it was frustrating me thats when i checked the battery usage i had pvmsoftareserup (however its spelled) was eating 74% of my batt. Went ahead and updated blockbuster app then i disabled the updates and that made a day and night diff for me.
Display: I have display on 27% which is not that bad TBH
Gps: Turned off
3g: running 3g even though i have 4g available in my area and it doesnt go back and forth. ( i dont need 4g to make calls or to check my fb and emails or to text). I will try a battery run with 4g tomorrow and update.
Auto update/sync: i check my fb randomly throughout the day so why update every so often just update when you check it. Emails come in every hour im a business owner but coming from bb i prefer email updates every hour because with bb i was constantly getting those emails and even though i didnt want to check them i did anyways because of email alerts. They did get annoying after all, it was one of those cant live with em and cant live without em situations.
Bump charge: tried it 4-5 times in a week out of frustrations never got instant green but i figured there was no harm in trying.
Juice defender beta: make sure to download the beta version.
So making all those changes here is my usage in detail.
I charged my battery full last night at 7:30 pm EST and now it is 1:05PM with battery life of 23% still remaining. 17.5 hrs of use in total.
Talk time: roughly 75 mins.
Texts: 18-20 sent and recieved.
Fb: 15 mins max.
Web browsing: 15 -17 mins.
Streamed music from pandora: 35 mins
Bluetooth on: 45-50 mins.
Gps: 1 min.
Bad service area: my gym gets no service so i was there for 2 hours and network was going from no bar to 2 bars constantly fluctuating.
Played with market place and apps: 10-12 mins
Emails: 7-10 mins reading nothing sent out.
I think i got most of it covered and this is my moderate use. So i guess i will be keeping it and all this with the stock battery and no mods. Hope it helps most of you. Any questions ask away.
