i know there are other threads about battery, but i checked and the phones are being used differently than what i want. i've been reading reviews from users on amazon and most claim that battery is bad, but i don't know what that means exactly. going from 4 to 6 hours on an incredible, i don't want it to be the same as that or worse.
i would like to get the rezound because the galaxy nexus barely makes the 8 hours i need. will the rezound be easily able to make that using stock battery (i don't want extra bulk in my pocket) if i use it for:
instant messaging
instant notification (1 minute polling) for facebook
push email for 8 accounts
games
reading
music
maps with navigation
gps services
4G
i came from an htc incredible which was the worst experience i've had with battery life. so bad that i barely turned on 3g. i would go from wifi to wifi or just turn off data stream. if i left data going while out and about, i would get 4 hours before i see it down to around 25% (and this is on the 1800mah battery). i then swore i wouldn't get another htc phone until the battery life is better. if i'll get more battery life out of my nexus than rezound i'll stay with nexus. some of the things that draws me to the rezound are the camera and the old music app which i can control without unlocking the phone when it sleeps. doesn't work so well on nexus.
so keeping the same things i'm doing with my incredible to rezound, will i get 8 hours without going below 15%? i hate seeing my battery level in red if i'm not yet home. thanks for any help.
