Like most of you, my D2G has horrible battery life. It's on the charger at least 4 times aday simply because I'm afraid of it dieing at an inopportune moment during the day. Seriously, home, then car/commute, then at work, then in car again, and maybe home..) 30% in 10 txt msgs, 5 phones calls of 15 minutes each? What????
By the 2nd day I purchased the ext life battery (but what the hell is R2D2, and yes, my cover IS black, is the battery even bigger?)
So, as a rookie, and frankly, a chicken$h!+ when it comes to rooting...
I've done the following:
Dropped Facebook sync to lowest #, 4 hours I think.. And went to FB and turned on emails instead, it's easier.
Dropped email sync (4 accounts) to lowest (for now, not thrilled about this, as I may start using VPN to connect to our Domino server here @ work)
JUST dropped to CDMA from GLOBAL (Thanks for that! Great tip!)
I don't Tweet, Feed, whistle, bark, fart or whatever it is people feel the need to share TMI these days... (Where to switch off syncing for something I don't do, does that matter?)
Brightness I need, as I run a privacy screen on mine, and it's pretty dark.
I'd like to remove some of the crAPPS that came with the phone too... but again, scared. Tell me more about this "easy rooting" method just so I can uninstall a few apps... tell me more about setCPU please.... or point me to a post..
So, what else can we go through to "ease my pain" huh?
Thanks gang,
Mr Mayor
