Battery Vent

[sparker781]

I have bought the extended battery, and still I am finding myself charging the battery every day. In fact as we speak I am down to 30% battery life since last night. I checked to see whats been eating my battery life and it says the screen. Now its set to auto-dim but I can't seem to get my battery to last an actual full day. Is this normal to the Motorola phones? I know I'm not the only one experiencing issues....

Thanks for reading

That seems like poor battery life. What is your usage like? I have the eextended battery and it will last me a day and a half with moderate use. It will even almost always last me a day with heavy usage.

Have you tried calibrating your battery? That can help. There are threads on how to do that. Best results require root.

Funny I'm rooted running Liberty right now.....phone Idle time is high with display right behind it

That's weird. Are you in a poor service area? If your phone is constantly going in and out of service it will kill the battery always trying to find a signal. That's one thing I can think of that would cause your phone idle to wear out your battery faster than the screen. The screen is always the number 1 battery waster for me.

That could be it. I live in the Boston area, actually a suburb of Boston so maybe thats whats happening, having to find 3G coverage and switching back and forth. Is there a battery calibration app you can recommend for a rooted phone?

Do you, by any chance, live in Sharon? There are like zero cell towers there. When I visit my Aunt in Sharon, I may as well turn off my phone it's that bad. Last time I was there, I went from ~90% charge to 40% charge in four hours just in my DX searching for signal.

Nope I live in Malden where I normally get a good signal. I am beginning to wonder if it's an issue with the Motorola's....I dunno

The only times I've had battery issues with my X, there were specific circumstances: Either locationally (lousy signal) or a misbehaving application.

You can do it in recovery (d2 bootstrap is how I did it) by booting recovery and going to advanced and then wipe battery stats. There is also an app in the market called battery calibration or something like that. After you charge it all the way up just make sure to keep it plugged in while you wipe battery stats.
