Re: How's everyone's battery life so far?

I just posted this in another thread that I started but I figure it might be helpful here. I had an issue with my phone constantly being awake and something trying to use wifi even though wifi was off:

settings->wifi->advance->uncheck "Always allow scanning"

This particular setting wasn't the actual issue but rather some app was using that setting to keep my phone awake and constantly hunting for wifi even with wifi turned off. I was looking at about 10-12 hours when I had it checked and 24-30 hours without it checked.

I'm going roughly 2 days between charges.
Power Saving Mode (Greyscale most of the time)
Lama controlling Wifi and Data connections
Screen brightness at 20% (1% after 9 when home)

Roughly 2hrs of calls per day w/ texts throughout the day
~1hr of internet browsing
1hr Bluetooth streaming music/calls

From a low to moderate user, I'm pretty happy with battery life. I think it took me about a week to FULLY set up the phone to get to this stage.

And yes I know I'm not using the phone to its full potential daily, BUT I do full take advantage of many of it's features Friday thru Sunday, the rest of the week I simply don't need it, so why use it?
