What's the battery life on this?

[big_time2]

I would say if you plan to use it for an entire day, you will need a charging source (laptop, wall outlet, etc) near by.

This is after 0.5 a day of use. (Had WiFi on, Browsing for most of the time, trying to get use to the keyboard).

I have a charger everywhere I go, and charge it at least twice a day. I do use it a lot more than I used my bold 9700 because of the browser, and all the apps.

I'm starting to realise that those claiming 15hrs on one charge barely use their Nexus...

LOL yea. No way 15 hours is possible any other way.

I posted this on another thread but I am getting almost double the battery life out of mine after doing the following:

- downloaded advanced task killer and use it to frequently close apps
- cleared the cache of apps as mentioned in another thread.
- use the toggle widget to turn off BT, WiFi, GPS when not in use
- turned OFF auto brightness and set the display to 0 (or use the toggle widget for the lowest setting) - at night this is fine. During the day I use the 2nd setting (which is like 25% when you view it through the slide bar)
- only do push with my Gmail account. For the Exchange account I pull email and do not synch calendar or contacts. I use a desktop app for that between Exchange and Gmail

Before I was getting nervous about battery around 3-4pm. Now I am making it until 10 at night with more than 1/2 a battery left. For instance, it's 2:30, I've had about 10 calls so far today, checked my email a bunch and the battery is still at 65% - (not quite on par with what I said above but it's been a busy day).

It all depends on how much you use it.

i use it enough but i'm always on edge..
I don't have any problem using it from 15~16 hrs and still have 20% left at the end of the day.

yeah I forgot to say that, I am on ATT 2G 100% of the time as well...

I'm not on the stock ROM but I am pretty much getting the equivelent of what I used to get with my Moto Droid and a little better than my iPhone 3GS. I can easily make it through a work day with a good amount use. Usually when I get home I am around 30-40%.

I'm getting 12-14 hours of full average usage with phone/apps/video.
Got an extra battery and I've fully cycled charged them. On the second charge, it took only 2.5 hours to fully charge from totally discharged.
