How much are you guys on your phone to have a dead battery before the day is gone?
Are they eating batteries while in standby as well?

Mine uses battery when not being used too...

I use the wifi in my house while home so that I don't end up going over my 1gig...

I use Advanced Task Killer...

I find when I used wifi hotspots while out it kills my batter even faster...

I also have a AC plug in in my car and I keep my charger in there and I use a usb charger in the house.

Well app killers have been proven to lower your battery life because relaunching apps uses more battery life than starting one back up from idle. I used to use one until I was told this, unless its been changed I might as well give it another chance

:eek Not really?! Okay, that's good to know. So I won't kill apps anymore.

Not very much as I don't use my cell phone for any business, but just for private things: checking emails, using What'sApp - these things.
But as I was at home yesterday, I didn't use it much; especially not that much to justify a one-day-batterylife...
(My last cell phone's battery used to work almost a week..)


@how to save energy:
By reading a lot of advices concerning this problem I found out that the following things can be done to save energy:

- switch off wi-fi whenever not needed as it uses much power
- switch off blue-tooth
- switch off app's background synchronization
- use automatic display light intensity
- switch off GPS reception
- use a darker display background instead of very light background pics

The worst energy sucker is the display itself...unbelievable.. -__-

I've ordered a better battery (1500mAh instead of 1300) on Amazon and will keep both batteries on full charge so I can swap them when needed.

I love this handy, but this energy thing is annoying. :mad

(Just to mention it: I've put it off the charger half an hour ago. I checked emails once, checked facebook and twitter once, sent one sms and one message via WhatApps. - And now the battery shows 99%... )

Mine is a company cell so I am on it a lot.

I probably average 4.5k miles and minutes a month.

I never seem to have a problem with my battery because I just use my car charger:24: (using the phone through the car's stereo system is the way to go IMO)

Yeah... but I am in my office most of the time.... but people call my cell and not my desk phone since I may not actually be sitting at my desk..., it's always on my hip.. and we don't want to talk about how many texts I get and send a month...

Found it funny that some of my customers actually forced me to get a better text plan because that was the only way they would communicate. Texting is nice for meetings where you can still exchange info without disturbing the meeting, and a nice way to keep track of exactly what was said, but man, if you want to talk, pick up the phone:D
