What's it like on the dark side of the moon?

Im still in the 2 week grace period and though the interface is great, I might exchange for a razr maxx (for battery) or razr m (for size). Or an HTC (for the camera). Im a picture taking person. Or maybe I'll just hang on to this weird phone.

Ive had the phone for 3 days now and download 3 apps. I have read in various reviews that the battery life is great. My battery is at 33% after 8 hours of light usage. Sent a couple texts and could watch the percentage drop as I type. Battery is at 31% now. Is this normal for this phone?

Thank you. But how do I view all 3 accounts in one place like on my previous phones, instead of individually checking each account?

I just upgraded to this phone from the htc thunderbolt. Anyone know how to set up e-mail to show as a universal inbox? I have 3 e-mail accounts and I have to view them individually. Also, when i delete an e-mail, its still there. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thats why I posted this-I didnt use the phone much the whole day and the difference in battery drain after 1 hour charge is astounding. I work 12 hrs. and as you can see in the pic, the heaviest use was in the first 2 hrs. before I left for work. The next 5 hours I hardly used it but the battery...

As you can see in the picture, the battery is at 76% at about 8 hours after disconnecting from my home charger. Found a charger lying around at work and decided to plug it in for an hour. After disconnecting, (and to my surprise) the battery remained at 81% for 6 hours before I plugged it back...

As far as I can tell, you can only turn power efficiency on or off. There's no way to set the parameters and I don't know what the default is. There's an app called "Power Saver Settings" which gives the power efficiency menu that was in the previous version of Android. Hope this helps.

I have the "sluggish" problem that many others have stated. Also, the battery drains significantly faster than with GB and I think this is due to how ICS handles backround data, syncing, and wifi. I'm sure there's a benificial reason for the power usage/battery drain tradeoff. A couple things I...

After the update, the battery life on this phone got pretty bad. Not being able to turn off background data is one of the reasons I think, but how ICS uses wifi is probably the biggest reason. I searched the internet for answers on how to turn it off and found that if you go to 'menu' ->...

yea but its not really worth the effort at this point..I'll hang onto it till I upgrade in a couple months. I like the features in ICS but it definatly slows down the phone. It'll make upgrading all that much better.. haha.

After reading that others have the same issues as I do with ICS (bad battery life, wifi connection problems, and the phone being sluggish) and a factory reset is the "fix" for this, I went ahead and did a factory reset. Surprisingly, the phone had automatically backed up everything.. I still...

That is a bad idea.. I have auto updates off. Also I turned off auto-sync yet I still receive e-mails.

Information from 'menu' -> settings -> usage: Google Play uses 200 more times MB's than any other app on my phone. From 'manage apps' -> all apps: Google Play Services is an app that constantly re-installs intself no matter how many times I delete it, and has the most intrusive permissions (that...
