quick question - enable or disable always on mobile data? have people here who are seeing such good battery life left it on or is it off?
You run pandora for 3 hours and want to know why your battery is dying? Headphones or speaker? I don't think it's a phone problem, that app just sucks powerMy battery life dies out so Fast! I unplug my phone @ 5am & have to plug it on again @ 10 bc the battery is dying out! I'm on fb by 6...on & off till 7.. then I'll put pandora on for about 3 hours straight! My battery is dead after that!
I hated seeing slacker and flickr and blockbuster open anytime I checked until I forced closed them. None of them are on my phone after a temp root and my battery lasts longer although it didn't make a huge difference. I have noticed the biggest drain on my battery is when maps is open and searching for something, the less bars I have, the more battery it uses. I used 20% of my battery looking for the closest gas station on my bike the other day.Today was my first full day with the Inc2. The battery lasted about 8hrs before dropping to 20% charge at which point I put in my spare battery. I was getting similar battery performance with my D2G.
If I want to see what apps are running, I go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and switch to the "Running" tab. I was surprised to see apps I never opened (like Flickr) were listed. This is why I used Task Manager on my D2G to automatically kill these apps.
Hi all.
Just so no one pokes me about it, I have not read through all the posts in this thread yet.
I just wanted to share the battery life issues with my Incredible 2. I can unplug in the morning, lock the screen and leave home only to find that after 5 - 10 mins of no use, my battery has dropped to about 90%. So far, I haven't used the device a single day without draining the battery. Some days, I've even had to curtail my use just so I could make it home with enough power to make a call if I had to.
I disabled auto-sync last night and am currently at 84% where I would normally be at <70%. That's not as good as some users are reporting, but it's better than it was yesterday!
I had similar disappointing battery life. I broke down and tried the temp root, installed Titanium Backup and Bloat Freezer to freeze the VZW bloatware and now have very good battery life. Worth a try.
