Battery Life?

[anon(575991)]

Android newb here, so i probably have many battery-life related settings that are not ideal, but I like most, have issues with battery life. Just look around and see all the threads about extended batteries, wireless charging covers, etc etc. Not to mention the theoretical "bad battery" problems. Its my biggest disappointment so far (other than the power button).

I'd recommend setting the sync of your accounts to manual and turning off applications you don't need to sync.

Can you explain what you mean by "turn off" apps? What is an example of an app that would need to be turned off. If it's a non-syncing app to begin with, how do I turn it off? Sorry if this is elementary, but I think I'm confused. Thanks!

I've been getting 2 days (more or a little less) on my standard battery. Now, I'm not on the web for hours or stream videos or watch movies...yet. Only had my Rezound for almost 2 weeks using it mostly for photos, email, talking, and about 20 - 30 minutes of looking around the net setting up bookmarks in the evening. It's gone through about 4 rechargings overnight. I don't have any email 'push' settings only manual retrieves once in the morning and again in the mid-afternoon.
Power mode is 'Economy', Economy mode settings 'Normal' - disable background data, disable Wi-Fi, disable bluetooth if not connected, Screen brightness 'Auto Setting' brightness shows at 36%, screen timeout set at 30s, Onscreen animations disabled, Vibrate feedback box checked. Wireless & Network - all boxes unchecked. In Task Manager only have Settings, Internet, Messenger, and Mail running most of the time. Also have 3G only set as I don't live in a 4G area. I do check TM often to see what else I might have tapped by mistake. For what I use it for, it's really nice not having to plug it in every night. Hope this helps someone out there !

Re: Battery Life?????

I just bought my first android phone- the rezound. I have used blackberrys for the last few years.

The battery life sucks and is probably the worst thing about this otherwise great phone.

I wake up at 6AM, unplug it and go to work. If I don't plug it into my charger right away, battery will be ~40-50% by 11AM. That's more than a full 24 hours would drain my old bold.

I have to keep this phone plugged in all the time because I don't want it to run out.

I'm a little worried about when 4G comes to my area sometime next year because everybody says it uses more battery than 3G.

dude i was the same way when i first got my rezound... i had a BB storm a few years back and i got tired of the data plan charge... i went to a dumb phone (instead of a smart phone w a data plan) to save some money, and now im finally at a point where i could afford a data plan again and decided to go w rezound... but i was completely unimpressed by the horrendous battery life... then i realized that i wasn't using the wifi while i was at work (retail) so i turned that off when i wasn't using it... its a huge difference... it actually lasts more than a whole day... but im on a weird charging schedule now... i dunno... seems like it last about a day and a half... i like it... and as my first android device i think its a good pick... good luck in your decision...
