Here's how to save your battery life.
- Turn off WiFi, BlueTooth and GPS
- Turn off 4G LTE
- Turn off all Location Services
- Turn off all Sync Services
- Turn screen brightness to lowest setting
- Turn screen timeout to lowest setting
- Place phone in Airplane Mode
- Dont make phone calls
- Dont text, email, surf the web, play games or use any apps
- Place phone in box
- Send back to Verizon
Sorry. I love EVERYTHING about this phone, except the battery life. I bought it so that i could DO all of the things above and more. I have to limit my usage and disable key functions of the phone just for the HOPE that i make it through the day. This is my 4th HTC Phone (Eris, DInc 1 and 2) so i'm well aware of how to manage power consumption. But even with my advanced knowledge, I'm still coming up short every day.
Not much that complaining will do about it, so i'm going to do what everyone else is going to do...live with it, because i like the phone that much.
Ext battery is not an option for me as already the phone is a beast. Dont think i'll be making it two years with this one....hopefully they come out with a slim ext battery (that's bigger than the 1950mAh Mugen one...what is that? 15% more? gee..thx).
Im holding out hope that ICS will improve the battery as much as Gingerbread did w/ the Dinc 2.
Thanks for listening to this Rant
