Avg 8 hours?

That's not really what I meant. I kept my X way back when the X was new (July 2010) and the battery was horrible. Discovering the apps that were draining my battery fixed my issues and I was glad that I kept the X...back then. Now I very happily own the Bionic and have done the same with it, figuring out how to get 24 hours of my extended battery, doing everything I want with the phone. All of these super phones are going to draw a lot of juice, so you've got to figure out what the problematic apps are instead of returning and waiting for whatever comes next.

I know what you meant, I was just having some fun. I am a fairly heavy phone user, lots of calls, 3 Imap email accounts, 2 gmail accounts (very low volume on these two), talk radio podcast daily and never play games or movies. On most days I can bump charge the phone every time I get in the car (dash mount) but this weekend I will fly to go see my grandchildren in an all Apple household. This means that I will be heckled when I must retrieve one of my chargers to make it past 2:00PM as my son grabs his Iphone and says "I haven't charged this since yesterday" Extended battery was better but I didn't like the bulk. I do hope some app and OS updates will make it better but didn't want to take the chance. There are some powerful phones ready to launch that I am looking forward to them but will try to wait for customer reviews before jumping in. Who knows, maybe I will compare all and get the Bionic again, only time will tell.

Yes, I had to let it go. Loved the phone but I was at the end of my 14 day costco limit.

Why didnt you just hold on to it, and if the vigor or prime is indeed better, try for the exchange?
you have ninety days..

only thing I can think of is costco's stock sucks.. took me a while to get a replacement bionic..

You know what though,IMO, I put the battery on full performance and get about 11 hours with moderate usage and I leave everything running GPS,WiFi, Bluetooth, email sync every 30 minutes. I got a beast of a phone and I'm not going to restrict it by turning evrything off just to get 2-3 more hours of what...time you don't use it??? I have the ability to charge it whenever which I understand some people don't. I did however get a extended battery for whenver I go out of town or traveling and don't want to charge it anytime soon.

I guess I was spoiled by my DX. Because I was lazy, I would always leave Bluetooth, GPS and Sync on full time. Listening to the third hour of a Podcast in the office now and have a USB charger 8" from the phone but haven't plugged it in because I don't need to. At 60% after 8 hours,granted the DX did get better over time after updates. It would be awesome if the future updates were this kind to the Bionic.

I said new phones are coming out soon and these days a release delay of 90 days or more is not unheard of.....does the name Bionic ring a bell?
