Photon Battery Life

[Puzzlegal]

By the way, the I wrote to the guy who sells widget locker, and he thinks he can fix the problem.

I've been testing a beta version of WL where he said he fixed the problem an I can confirm that it's working well. Battery seems to be back to where it was before.

Awesome!! I miss the lockscreen I had set up. Do they know when an update will release?

He just release an update today, but I haven't checked to see if the battery issue was included. I guess I'llfind out in a few hours.

Based on 198_7 update and Juice Defender...not sure if that's good or not.

Here's mine.

What the hell are you using to get such great battery life? If you use Juice Defender, could you provide settings? Also, what other apps do you have running in the background?

Lolz! I don't know what's going on with my Photon! We changed our internet from Cox to FIOS and that's when I started getting double and triple battery life. Maybe the FIOS router signal is better? I dunno. It is using WEP. I have gmail and social networking running in the background, as well as the other general background apps on the phone.

That's crazy! LOL! Well I immediately called Motorola and Sprint to provide a replacement battery for me..Hahah...enjoy those hours of Photon pleasure!

I'm about 40 days into my MoPho ownership and my battery under normal usage is HORRIBLE! I turned off all widgets and set many common offenders to end after 2 mins of inactivity...Not using Wifi, BT, hotspot or 4g, email checks are manual and done every 1-2 hours - I still have to charge up at least 2x day. The only app I leave running now is the 3g data watchdog (just because I want to get a better feel of my usage).

Any ideas?

What does your normal usage consist of?

What does your normal usage consist of?

phone usage

After about 3 hours of talk time I'm down to 50%

Sprint store just informed me the battery is/was defective (after they tested it). They just gave me a new battery (I have TEP, whatever it's called these days) and will "condition" it, per instrucitons tonight. Report back in a week or so.

It might help to use Juice Defender once you're all set up. I've noticed a big difference in battery life!

I was toying with that when I was on the defective batt, and will try it again soon.

New battery update (day1):

2.5 hours of calls
took 15 pics
checked email, FB, twitter, each a dozen times or so
updated calendar, etc.

13 hours unplugged - 20% batt remaining...now that's more like it!
