The Skype video seems to be really draining the batteries on my Thunderbolt using 4g, no root. I am using the stock battery, have wifi, bt, and gps off, screen set to low, background data off. I was only able to get 102.35 minutes on skype/106min on time (additional 4 minutes of misc. time for 4 dropped calls and restart) from full charge to auto shut-off. Skype did lock up once forcing me to pull the battery, and according to Current Widget, the battery dropped 11% during that time. even tacking on 11%, that would be 113.6min, still be under 2 hours on skype.
I took an average of the power draw during skype use and got 757ma, based on that and 1400mah battery, that would be 111 minutes.
Battery drain for 106 min. is as follows:
100%-90% 10 min
90%-80% 13 min
80%-70% 13 min
70%-50% 16 min (11% drop from restart)
50%-40% 15 min
40%-30% 16 min
30%-20% 10 min
20%-10% 9 min
10%-2% 4 min (auto shut-off)
I have an extended battery, and it certainly lasts probably double as long, but i didn't want to sit there and test it.
Just curious what other Skype video users were getting?
