How long does your battery last?

[Robbie317]

I would actually call ~ 3GB/mo to be heavy usage. Those with 10+ GB of use are streaming a lot of video and music. 3 GB for just browsing and email is a lot of use. It's not outrageous by any means, but pretty high nonetheless.

I think average use for browsing and email would be 750 MB - 1 GB. Remember that something like 98% of smartphone users use less than 2 GB/mo.

Got you. I think in my mind I wouldn't be any where near that kind of usage if I lived back in North Carolina where all my family and friends are. I typically only go "HOME" 2 times per year to visit because of that friends and family are always asking for pictures so I am uploading to Facebook and E-Mailing pictures all the time... Typically if I have a video I hook on to WiFi just because it's a heck of a lot faster and easier that way (No solid 4G where I live)

I also travel for a living and see things I consider weird or odd or funny, plus a few work related pictures as well... Like last week while in Kentucky I saw a pick up truck on the highway doing 70 MPH with a couch in the back of the pick up... as I came up on the pick up there was what looked like a 13 - 15 year old boy sleeping on the couch in the back of the truck.... I had to slow down and get a picture of that.....

My guess is if I lived back in North Carolina I wouldn't use up half of what I am using data wise..... I don't download a lot of Apps, I don't stream music too often (15 minutes a day at most) very rarely watch video and don't play any games... I do use the internet a lot looking up things and just basic news/information....

I want to take part in the poll, but there is no option for more than 12 hours...

I usually get around ~36-40 hours

I'm usually a light - moderate user. Only use the phone when I feel like it or it provides a convenience for me. Sometimes I pandora, sometimes surf the web. Lots of texting. Some calling, etc.

I just went 36 hours on a single charge... 100% down to 3% before putting it on the charger.... I was at 48% last night after 16 hours... left it on all night but didn't charge it to see how long it lasted today and it's now 7 at night (Took it off the charger yesterday morning at 7) and she is basically done... I typically go about 16 hours on a single charge but still have around 40% remaining.. Was curious today how much longer she would last and 12 hours was about it... I did make sure to have my spare battery fully charged before going into day two...

On a slow day I can get 24 hours, by slow I mean take it off the charger around 6:30 am, make a call to my wife at work for about 15 minutes at 7:30, a few texts, tweets, facebooks and 4Square's... then it pretty much sits idol while I work, except for the occasional tweet, email, text. On a weekend with a lot more use, I tend to get about 14 to 16 hours.
Those who are having miserable battery life, I recommend a hard reset, it worked wonders for me, and I think it's been said a few times on this forum too.
