I think you just have to give the batteries time to condition themselves. Also this is not a laptop computer or a tablet its a PHONE, I think some people are on the internet all day long then they ***** when they only get 4 or 5 hours out of that tiny battery. I used this phone all day long took and made calls even had it hooked to my cars bluetooth system for an hour and even surfed the net a few times and still got well over 18 hours out of her.

Have you made any significant changes from when you first got it.

 

[izzo00]

how did you maintain the battery

 

[AndroidXTC]

Nothing special. At the end of my day I usually have between 25 to 35% left then I charge it till its full.

Honestly Brian, I just think a lot of people out there are using these handsets way over the designed in capabilities of the handset it was never designed to be used as a laptop or tablet replacement.

Brightness, 4g, phone usage (particularly data usage) and gps are some of the key variables.

I meant to say brightness particularly auto-brightness. The constant changing of brightness kills battery.

Additionally switching back and forth between 4g can kill battery too. In the DC suburbs we are at an edge of a 4g region and it tends to fluctuate. When I'm on the road in Houston it rarely changes and my battery life is longer.

My screen is set quite low and even with moderate use won't get 18 hours out of it. If I turned the 4G off and just let it sit in standby that might work.
