To keep from going on a rant about this phone and beating the preverbal dead horse. I?ve resulted as a last ditch effort before I completely give up on this phone to see if some of you guys can help me out.
Already been through a replacement, several calls to the Tech Support folks.
My battery life is horrible. Now I fully understand that with the dual core setup this phone has battery performance issues can be expected. I have the extended battery in my phone. You would think that having the phones settings dulled down for optimal battery life with an extended battery I would easily?and I stress easily be able to make it through the day WITH LITE VERY LITE usage.
But I cannot. I?m not streaming music all day, I don?t have 12 widgets running that are sucking up data usage and constantly going to the internet, my usage is as follows.
Check twitter/facebook (maybe 3 times a day?maybe)
Check e-mail (same as above maybe 3 times a day)
Make a couple calls that are never longer then 10 minutes.
Send text messages maybe 20 a day on average.
I can not make it through the day with out having to charge this phone. If I increase my usage forget about making it 4 hours.
Here?s what I?ve tried?
Dulled down phone settings (screen, data connections, widgets, screen time out)
Have gotten a replacement phone (Due to other issues. Hoped my 1st phone was just having issues)
Extended battery (tried multiple same results)
Other then the battery and settings I don?t know what else I can do.
Today?s usage.
Left the house this morning at 100% at 7am.
Checked facebook and twitter total time 6-7 minutes.
Sent 4 text messages
Checked e-mail less then 2 minutes.
I?m at 60% Battery life. To me this usage with an extended battery and my current settings should have me around 80%...maybe not even that low. At this rate the phone will be dead before I get home from work around 5 pm.
What am I missing?
