Hi everyone,
Though I'm a new Optimus V user, I've been a smartphone user since the Treo 180 & this has been the best device I've had to date. However, as others have commented battery life can leave a bit to be desired. I've gone through the mutliple threads & have managed to get the battery life to an acceptable level (first 2-3 days I was only able to survive 4-5 hrs on a charge). I'm not holding my breath for multiple day battery life, though if you had an analog cell flipphone (e.g. Motorola DPT550) you may recall carying around multiple battery packs just to get through the day. If I can get back to recharging every few days like on my Centro, I'm more than happy.
Now I'd like to see if there's a fast charger option (haven't found 1 yet). It seems to take 3 hrs (at best) to fully charge, though I've had it go overnight & still not be full. I've downloaded Battery Doctor & it says something about fast charging without pausing, but I can't say I'm really noticing a difference.
Using a DC adapter in the car, it doesn't seem to charge that much faster. I'm used to full charge off car adapter taking approx 1 hr, so this is really a big change.
I've looked on the AndroidCentral Shop, eBay, & Amazon, what are our options for extended battery and/or rapid chargers?
Thanks
