Battery since update

[Darth Mo]

I would say my battery life is back to where it was prior to the update, seems like it was other issues draining the battery.

What is odd though is that items like Good for enterprise, calendar, downloading apps, using the built in email app don't show up here?

I'm pretty sure "other stuff" falls under Android OS. Usually only Google apps and services will show up on that screen. Some random apps like games will show up, but not always. Not sure why.

Calling it quits here on this test.

4D 4H.. here is the screen shot with still 21% apparently, might have dipped below that after clearing out a bunch of emails and making a 10 minute call.

Still, I'm quite happy with it at this point.

What is odd is, that I use the main mail client much more than the gmail client, and I use the good for enterprise client all day every day, but that usage doesn't show up in the totals.? Also, wouldn't things like the 25 minutes of phone calls show up here somewhere? and reading the WSJ and nytimes every morning?

Thats what i thought. If you're getting 3 and 4 days off your battery, you're not using it very much. Out of over 4 days, you were only on the phone for less than 2 hours. I do that in less than one morning. I am only getting 8 to 10 hours, but I'm on it all the time and using 4g at work all day. It does prove you get great "standby" time.

Yeah, I get that. What I don't really understand is how the display usage number is so low. I mean, this is my daily driver now (although I'm still carrying the iphone for other some other things) I'll do about 10-20 minutes of calling a day, I'll read about 10-30 minutes online, Wsj app, nytimes app, cnn.com. I'll do maybe 10-30 minutes of slingplayer streaming. receive and read and delete about 10 text messages a day. read, delete about 100+ emails a day, login to good for enterprise about 15 times a day, read about 30 emails a day, create about 5 on the device. The device is moving between wifi (WPA2 authentication) and 3G about 15 times a day (hey, I DID switch from CDMA/LTE to CMDA only recently as well that may have helped. And I probably do about 10-15 minutes of sharing the devices 3G as a hotspot a day. yesterday it was about 25 minutes alone.

So, I know I am efficient with my usage, and a lot of these things like hotspot, calling, standby ARE without the screen on, but I am still surprised that it can be a daily driver phone and get this much overall life.
