i know there are a few threads on battery life- seems some people are getting phenomenal life (10-12 hours -- one post i read said 25 hours!). still others are having problems - as i am.
i'd really like to figure this out with the help of those getting over 8 hours of normal use.
for example - took my phone off charger at 550am. my son played a game for about 15 minutes. i made two calls - 4 minutes total. i downloaded one app. phone sat unused for just over 2 hours. battery now is at 67% (930am).
MY SETTINGS:
i have screen at 15s time out - auto brightness
wifi on at home (about 40 minutes of the above was at home).
3g only
bluetooth off
i have the following widgets installed - is this too many?
switchpro
fancy widget (set to update on wifi only- every 6 hours)
forecast (set to update every 6 hours)
digital clock
juice defender
smooth calendar
google voice
WHERE voice search
two email accounts - one set to 30 minute check, the other to one hour.
Google Reader - i don't have synchronize checked
do all widgets draw juice? is there something else i can do? i had noled running but uninstalled that this AM. i had sensorly installed - removed that too.
Dropping nearly 30% in less than 4 hours, with two hours of complete inactivity and the rest of the time only minimal activity seems bad to me.
i would appreciate any help/advice / direction. i'm a first time android user (Pre original convert) and i'm loving it - i'd love it more if i can get better battery life.
thank you all once again - i've learned a ton on this forum and appreciate it!
