My battery life is awesome, how about yours?

[the727kid]

So far the phone has been off the charger for 9 hours and I am still at 59% battery life. This is with a steady text messaging conversation all day, 30 minutes playing a game at the doctors, 4g on all day, and a live wall paper. Much better than my Epic was.

Same here, 10-hours of the charger and with my normal daytime use I have 56% power left on my battery - that is far better than either my Evo or Epic would ever do.

I am officially impressed!

Wretched compared to my old Pre even when it was overclocked.

Worse than life though is charge time. This handset takes -forever- to charge. The Palm did a full charge in under an hour.

Charge time seems a bit lengthy but if it can last a solid 10 hours without even dropping under 50% I can't complain. I am never away from a charger that long.

Ya charging on this does take forever. But battery life is very impressive. About on par with the Evo Shift which lasted me a day and a half easily...

Yep I'm loving the battery life with this phone, so much better than my pre! Now, if only the signal problems could get fixed...

+1.... I also had a Epic and switched to the ns4g.The battery wasnt that great on the Epic and charging times was a nightmare.So far the battery seems good.Im on my second cycle so i know it will get better.Also charging times is better than the Epic IMO

I can't figure out why my battery life is so terrible compared to what you guys are reporting.

I have 4G on and I'm on WiFi most of the time. Do you all have 4G turned on or off???

I have been keeping off 4g of most of the time... I haven't really tested how long the battery will last while on 4g all the time

4G radio can really drain the battery, I would strongly suggest to keep it off until you need it.

My battery life hasn't been "great" but decent I suppose. I hear it gets better after a week or so though. What a can't handle is the charge cycle time, its ridiculous! Especially if your using the phone while charging. Does anyone know if the charge gets faster after time?

Way better than my old pre. Battery life has been awesome. I can't complain at all. Yes it takes longer to charge but thats fine by me. I just charge at night. I can easily make it the whole day on one charge.

My battery life sucks. 4G and WiFi are turned off and the screen is on auto-brightness. When I check the Battery use it says 51% is for display. By the way my wallpaper is not animated and is a very dark flag with alot of black in it. Any ideas?

Sorry but I got a 4G phone to use it. I'll buy more batteries I guess.

Getting good 4G at least. 4Mbits+ inside the house and with only 2 4G bars.

WiFi should actually help your battery. Compared to 3G/4G radios, WiFi is much more efficient not to mention a more consistent signal inside the home or office.

Do you have any apps in the background running? Anything updating on your 5 pages? like facebook or twitter?

Same here. my battery life is awful. I have 4G & WI-FI turned off for the most part. I did some light text messaging and played some music for a 1.5 hour commute and it drained to 70%. 3 hours later after using some WIFI and light text messaging it drained all the way down to 42%. Display is saying 65%! I have it on auto-brightness and a static wallpaper.

Definitely did not plan on carrying a charger with me wherever I go.

yeah same here my battery life has been extremely sub par so far, i have brightness set to auto. And my the screen has been the biggest drain.

My battery won't charge over 96 %. But the phone says fully charged. It doesn't last as long as I thought it would either. I'm afraid to see what will happen with 4G on.

I feel my battery life has been overall decent. Better then the Palm Pre.
