Did you have any errors on your SD card?

All I know is at the end of the work day yesterday I plugged in my phone after 13 hours. It was still at 66%. Something changed because that is much better then normal.

Other then what I saw with Pandora maybe running in the background, and the software update, nothing else really makes sense. So I wouldn't be surprise it if didn't work for anyone.

For the last 4 or so days, the battery life on my TB has gone from so so, to amazing.

I used to get about 10 hours. Getting through an 8 hour work day occasionally needed a charge.

I have a Seidio 1600MaHr battery. It never really impressed me. At least it was not worse then the original.

About two weeks ago, I uninstalled Pandora. I would get an occasional forced close, even though I wasn't running Pandora. So I assume it was running in the background and I uninstalled it. That appeared to help the battery.

I started using WiFi almost full time. That appears to have helped a bit.

Then last week, I got the latest update. That appeared to help a little.

But last Friday, I power it down, pulled the SD card (and the SIM card). Put the SD card in my PC and ran a disk check on it. It found and fixed a few lost clusters on the SD card.

Since then, my battery life has been awesome. I am currently at 83%, and just over 7 hours of usage. I've never seen anything like this, and it is every day since Friday. From lucky to get 8 hours, to well over 24 hours. That is different.

No idea what is going on, or why the change, or if it is my imagination, but it is what it is.
I'm wondering if a bad directory structure on the SD card could eat up a lot of processor time or something? Or maybe it was just the battery pull after the update.

Anyone with poor battery life, check the SD card for lost clusters. Report back after a couple of days.

Now watch, mine will go to crap.

Edit: I am not in a 4G area and normally keep it turned off.

Everyone needs to do this it wooked great !
