How long does YOUR battery last...?! - XV6700, PPC-6700 General

Now, I know that it depends on what programs are running, like... whether you have any minimized or in the background, but on an average 1500 mAh/3.7V battery... what is the amount of use time that one can expect...?
Let's start a thread on this subject... listing the type of battery, approximate age of same, the names of the files/programs you run & use in a given day, and the amount of hours of overall use you get before you have to recharge or switch it over to a new/fresh battery. This way, we'll all have a better idea as to what programs really drain the phones, such as when you leave the WiFi and/or Bluetooth "on" all the time - waiting to be used (a sure guarantee to have a dead battery in a matter of hours).
We can subtitle this one under "The Cost of Staying Connected" (not including air-time charges or monthly fees).

i think my battery life is terrible... but its understandable. usually i run wifi and phone all day long.. the only reason i run wifi on all the time is because i have a feeling everytime i don't... somehow i get charged for using evdo (from bell in canada)... but i dont?? its really weird because i used to always get these random charges.. but ever since i kept my wifi on all day everything is all good. i have the original battery that came with my ppc 6700.. and i use the phone around 40-70 minutes of talk time. no real apps running but a few games of solitaire here and there. but if i were to talk non stop it only seems to last like 1hr
my battery life is like 10 hours and i always have to charge it when i get home from work or school or ill be doomed the next day

Since upgrading to WM6 (thanks helmi), my battery life has found NEW life. I used to have to charge it everyday: no wifi, 50% brightness, screen off in < 1min, etc. Since upgrading, I can run it at 100% brightness, screen off in 2min, and I don't have to charge it every day.
This is with the factory battery, and an eBay replacement sometimes used.

always running: freestyl (flashlite), sms threader, mbutton
phone is usually locked with s2u2
most use it usually gets is me checking the time
update rom from verizon, .net 3.5
ever since i updated the rom, it seems like i only get <24 hours per full charge (battery purchased less than a month ago)

w/o wifi or bt i get about 3 days however it depends on what version of windows are you running have you guys updated to the new 6.1 or 6.5 biulds?

My battery life its very short but, i use my apache with core play at my car with my kids plus the wifi, and blue with hand free, soo i've to conected every day, and i'm use 2batterys

original battery... i got 3 days on standby.. and 2 days in normal call usage...
but
with wifi my battery gets drained to the bone in 40 minutes LOL
thats all =D

About twenty minutes. I know I need a new battery >_>
... that and that I'm surprised I've got over 240 hours clocked in the lifetime call timer.

Using a 2600mAh 3.7v Battery
I had my extended battery for about 2 months now.....
TCPMP:Battery life is close to 5 hours on the lowest brightness level using headphones & on speaker mode I get about 3 1/2 hours.
Making Calls: I sometimes spend about 2 to 3 hours on the phone & that leaves the battery to about 70% or 60%.
Wifi: I don't use it for a very long time, but when I do it could be about 1 hour and that can leave my battery to about 80% to 70% when done.
Videogames: I use mainly the Morpheus(emu) usually about 20 to 30 mins and only seems to leave it close to 90%..
With random use I normally have to charge the battery every 2 or 3 days... I play with the phone quite a bit tho! Mostly text messaging (turning it on & off about 20 to 30 times daily).
With my 2 normal batteries? I think they need to be discarded soon lol!!!!!!! Wifi will deplete them(each) in about 4 or 5 mins tops!!! TCPMP about 10mins(screen on at its lowest with speaker) & 15 mins max(with headphones & screen at its lowest brightness)... Phone Calls? about 20mins tops(with the screen turned off)!!!!
So.... I strongly recommend the extended battery on Ebay for about $22(shipping included) so that you can enjoy the phone alot more!!!
I try not to keep the phone on the charger until the battery has depleted to about 20% when the warning comes on and fully charge it always!

Battery Life for HTC Touch Diamond2

Having recently bought and TD2, i really am getting a bit conserned about the battery life ....
Like it's awfull either that or it's just my phone thats gone the way of the dodo.
Can you please share your battery lifespan estimated ?
I bought device a week ago. Battery lasts up to 48 hours if I do not use it too much. If I do, or after several calls battery drains for 24 hours. I checked the settings. It is set to turn off device if not used after 1 minute. I have windows mobile 6.5 original rom.
I voted 72hours. screen off all the time when is not used. Win 6.5 dutty rom. about 20min call /day , 3g always off when not needed. Wifi about 15m / day.
I make a couple of calls on most days, send a few texts. my 3G is generally always on, I use the game/internet for about 15mins when on the bus. My battery lasts about 24hrs :-(
Mine will last a few days when not used much, but when I do use it, I use it.. haha so batter gets to less than 24h
original wm 6.1 rom; data connection off; 30min call/day; 40 sms/day. Screen off when not used: 72h battery life
Same as Psinok
i voted 48 but i believe it can be longer...
when i use regular phone uses (~1hour talking ~5-10 sms ~30min internet per day) battery drains about 20-30% for 24 hours
but if browse with wifi for long time if i use gps for couple hours or make long calls for hour or so it can take 30% at one time so its only depends on usage...
I really find it hard to understand why you guys get so fired up about battery issues!
All these guesstimates have little real world value other than to give some idea of what usage someone else, using their phone the way they do (whatever that may be), gets, in their subjective opinion.
Someone gets this, someone gets that and someone else gets the other. What difference does it make?
The only single usable value would be a phone life (given the ROM, battery age and charging procedures used) from full charge and left on without use until it turns off.
I did extensive tests along these lines with a couple of models of nokia phones a few years back, when the same disquiet about battery life surfaced then.
At the end of the day the main thing you can do to maximise battery life is charge it correctly. And then when you use, it once it's drained, it's drained!
So you charge it again. What you get is what you get. That's it!
If you want to see a huge difference then turn off manilla for a while (for those who are using it).
It's too hard to say exactly, but my battery life was utterly shocking in the first 3 to 4 weeks of owning it. Now, I get much better life.
It all depends...on your ROM
Same usage gives me 12h or 48h...
Some roms are very power hungry, I'm yet to figure out what causes that.
EnergyROM looks great, fast and nice colors but I only get 12h.
Same usage on Dutty's rom gives me 36-48h
Have used a lot of different ROMs but the battery life is usually pretty much the same. 3G always on. I talk in the phone for one hour a day. Sends 20-30 textmessages a day. Dataconnection always on (sync to exchange mail, facebook). My TD2 can easily go for 72 hours.....

Do you mind telling us what ROM you are using?
WM 6.5 Stock ROM
I recently installed HTC WM 6.5 Stock ROM on my Diamond2 and -on the average- a normal day consumes aroung 40 % - 50 % of the battery: couple phone call, several SMS, few minutes of WiFi use.
The battery lasted a little bit longer with WM 6.1 Stock ROM (shipped with the device).
GSM on Work, 3G on other time.
Data Connection avg ~30 mins a day
Music 2 Hrs
some games. (solitare...only)
Little to none calls
few SMSes
Batt: 100 -> 25% within 24hrs.
ROM: TESS PrideIV
Radio: Stock 4.49.25.17

battery life

Hei all of you
It seems that the legend has been released to some people, and i was wondering what you guys get out of the battery.
I am currently on a Diamond 2, with 1100 Mha battery, and currently get 1½ day out of this, and i want this to be an improvement. The legend, with 1300Mha, OLED screen and newer cpu, sounds like it will be a lot better, but some review mentions the battery life to be really bad.
I am using my phone for 20 text messages, psuh mail, no phone calls and only visit a few websites on 3G. No bluetooth, wifi or GPS. What can i expect of this?
i'm sorry if my English is not good enough,
but i've the HTC legend since Friday, and Saturday i did a simple test, i put the mobile phone to charge Friday night, Saturday about 12:00 pm i disconnected the charger and i've turned the wi-fi, gps,and bluetolth off, only the 3G network was on.
I had also ebuddy running on the background, after 4 hours i didn't touched the phone, and my battery was about the 25%
And the full charge time was almost 2 hours.... i went back to the shop where i bought the phone, they changed my battery and the did a hard reset.
The battery performance is now a little bit better, but it has not the same performance as the iphone 3gs.

I think the first time you run your phone it will consume the most power. So it's not the right time to test. I suggest you fully charge and fully consume the battery 2-3 times and then put it for a test.
Full capacity of a battery shows up after 2 months.
You will pass from 1 day to 3 days
So here is one short statistic after second charging.
14% of energy left in the battery after:
39 hours since last charging
2 hours of display on (35% of energy)
37 hours of phone connected to the cell (36% of energy)
13 minutes of calls (13% of energy)
Phone used for me "as normal" - cca. 10 SMS, 2 hours of mp3 and FM radio, one hour of net surfing, running sync with Gmail and Google Calendar.
Yes, it is period of 1-3 months to get full capacity of the battery, but in first few usage, you can fully charge and discharge battery.
I have a one day of full usage of the phone (wifi always on, twitter, e-mails, calls etc.)
Getting better
It's getting slowly better with each charging, second week and I'm on two days. Everyone is using it in a different manner, but my battery improved for about a 70%.
got the legend now for 2 weeks and loving it.
Battery life is good, don't expect to go 2 days intensive use without recharge but no phone with these function have this.
I can easily go with one to two day with occasional wifi, gps use and keep 3g or sync on settled on 1 hour intervals while playing some games using apps etc
Blue tooth i haven;t tried but like any phone the power munchers are wifi, blue tooth gps and 3g.
wifi should save lots of power compared to network operator connection
i use wifi at office, and with extensive usage, i can get about 8 hours straight, that is pretty heavy, the screen barely got to sleep
I have tested the battery in plain sleep.
If the device has wifi off and mobile data off (and no sync, ofcourse) i guess it lasts for a week - 10 days. But then you cant use wifi or mobile data.
If you only let it be in stand-by (screen locked and off, no data or wifi or gps or bt) it last quite long, probably close to the stated 300-400 hours in the manual.
In real life that translates to 3-5% battery drain (tested by me for 24h, only sent 2 sms and talked on phone for 2 minutes) per day.
But in normal use, wifi will drain 5-10% battery per hour and 3g/gprs with autosync drains 2-5% per hour depending on net.
No device lasts for more then a day or two if you acctualy use the device.
I have had my Legend for a week and a half now and the battery life is also getting better with each passing day. I can easily use it for a day and a half with quite a lot of WiFi browsing, and up to 30 or 40 minutes of call time. I'm really loving this phone!

Hi fellow Legenders,
i've had the phone for 4 days now. i am having issues with my battery. I have noted some points that i'll share & hopefully find a resolution for my dismal batt life. I have bluettoh on all the time, but it shows very little drain based on BT alone. Other than that, this phone ROCKS!
After full 8hr charge, the phone lasted approx. 13hrs 38mins before reaching critical level with the following findings:
On 08 April 2010
1. Voice calls used 50% batt – 36mins 11s call time.
2. Display on approx. 30% brightness used 21% batt – on for 1hr 10mins 15s
3. Cell standby on 3G used 16% batt – on for 13hrs 38mins (no signal 1%)
4. Phone idle used 8% - on for 12hrs 28mins
5. Bluetooth used 5% - on for 13hrs 28mins
After normal charge till batt 100% (about 3hrs), the phone lasted 15hrs 12mins 41s before reaching critical level
On 9th April 2010
1. Cell standby on 2G used 50% - on for 15hrs 12mins 41s (no signal 3%)
2. Display on aprrox 30% brightness used 18% - on for 29mins 35s
3. Phone idle used 15% batt – on for 14hrs 43mins 5s
4. Voice calls used 10% batt – on for 4mins 14s
5. Bluetooth used 7% - on for 15hrs 12mins 41s
Looking forward to better batt life as the days go by.
cheers,
Su
Very poor battery life for me.It has 7-8 hours stand-by.
1.Every 5 mins e-mail control.
2.Weather with auto update.
3.Friend stream.
4.Background data and auto sync.
5.Enable always-on mobile data
6.3G
I don't understand whats going on.If i left device when i go sleep with full battery after 7-8 hours i look it.It shows me only left %35 battery.
After disable all auto-uptade and 3g its over 1 days.
My hd2 had 1230 mah battery and super big screen and 1ghz processor.It was using %10 with same usage.
Legend has 1300 mah battery and small screen and 600 mhz processor.It uses %65.
Can anyone explain this sucks status?
I m using the legend... and a hd2 as my other device. would say the battery life for the legend is really dismal...

I am happy to report that my phone batt life has improved tremendously since my last charge. I installed OS monitor & checked to see what might be hogging the batt, & discovered some program was keeping my CPU running inthe high 70's & above continuously. I killed that program, fully charged my phone till 100%, restarted the phone for good measure, & with BT on permanently, more than an hour of wifi usage, about half an hour of phone calls & about 30 smses, after 24hrs, i still had about 24% batt left.
So it has definitely improved by leaps. Hope that helps others who have similar problems.
cheers,
Su
it will be good if you can share what's causing the high cpu usage ...
Oh sorry i forgot. it was OpenWatch for BT watches. It has a problem currently with HTC Legend & SE MBW-150. It doesn't have the full functionality as yet for some reason. The reason it ran the CPU load up, was because i had turned off my watch by accident & set the program to search & connect to the watch. My folly really.
cheers,
Su

Nice battery time
I've bought and charged my phone last Thursday. GSM only, using WIFI every day for 15-20 minutes, 10-15 min talk, and it's still at 35-40% after 5 days. I've got a magic battery or what?

Battery Life??

Hi Guys! and Gals..
Wondering hows your battery life?? Can you make it through a day Ok? I have a touch pro on Sprint and battery life stinks in the worse way.
Last time I checked, it went 13hrs until 31%.
I usually use it for around 90minutes continously reading or web browsing during my commute. There is also 4-5hrs (or more daily) during which I only get 1-2bars of receptions, so it drains battery faster. There was probably also a 30-40minute phone call using bluetooth.
I can go an 10-12 hour day with light use:
45 mins of phone and text (no bluetooth)
20 mins phone (bluetooth)
30 mins misc.
30 mins games.
20 texts.
Data on about 8 hours without Wifi and 4 on (N enabled)
1 hour browsing, emails etc.
30 mins with Microsoft Reader.
Probably a little more.
Also syncing a lot with calendars.
Not bad, but I feel like it could be better.
t-mobile usa.
I have 75% by end of the day
Adjust your PEAK TIMES for ActiveSync, that way your device isn't consistently trying to allocate resources to collect data such as emails.
Screen brightness, system volume, hibernating times, etc.
ALL OF THOSE are key factors in how quickly your battery will be drained. Anything involving the on-screen display is what will quickly deplete available battery life on a single charge. That may seem very "cliche" to say, but the fact is, this device has a 4.3-inch screen, so it's a power hog.
For today, it's been 17.5hrs since I unplugged and the phone has been mostly sitting except for a few occasional brief checks of the phone, 30minute email syncs, and a 15 minute phone call. It's at 40% battery after the 17.5hrs.
It did drop around 20% in the first 6hrs since the phone was in an area of horrible 0-1 bar reception. The rest of the time has been 2-3 bar reception.
17.5 hours @ 40%... are you serious?
My TMOUS HD2 has never gone more than 8 hours on a full battery charge. This is with "normal" usage. Regular email checks, activesync with direct push.
Comming from the Blackberry Bold II with 13-15 hours of battery under normal usage patters, the HD2 is VERY WEAK!!!.
I'm contemplating sacraficing the sleak look of the phone for the extended battery.
Anyone have the ex battery? How's your battery life?

If you need direct push in your life, then I suggest changing 3G to EDGE network.
Difference is quite noticeable.
It sucks,and if you want better battery life don't use it.I returned mine after 48hrs.
All the advice is great,but....
-If I have go from 3G to EDGE.
-Lower the brightness almost to the minimum.
-Set activesync up.....What is the point of having so much technology? if I can not use because the phone dies.
I need real time email and 3G to work,plus all the stupid menus that windows mobile still has made me change my mind.Microsoft has been in the market for a bunch of years and winmo still sucks.
Do not get to impressed with the HD and the movies,cause the thing dies in no time.
Don't buy it and stick with android.
I end the day with about 60% battery life left with mild-medium usage. A few phone calls, some maps/gps, active sync every 4 hours, facebook every 2 hours, weather every 3 hours.
VERY happy with battery life on this phone
i went all day yesterday (my first day with it) so i used it alot, took it of the charger, at 7:30am, and plugged it in last night at 10:00 and it was at 39%. that was BEFORE i turned off 3g(i dont get 3g in my area) so this hd2 blows the iphone battery out of the water....IMHO
my last device was blackberry 8900.
that thing lasted 3 days with moderate use. compared to that, 15 hour limit does suck, and there are times I don't want to use the phone to conserve the battery, which makes rage, but oh well. now I always carry an extra battery in my pocket, so that's a bit better. but that doesn't make it okay.
with the 3g off, wifi off, auto back light,running the energy rom apr 9. unplug on 9 am use about 100 sms and 10 minutes phone call with all the auto data off,just manual check weather and email twice still have 80% after 3pm.
turn off voice commends - this will help
Its getting better
I have recently done a few things to help the battery. I adjusted the the screen brightness to a comperable setting that a friend of mine has his set to on his iphone3gs I did not do anything to the 3g settings or anything like that. I set me email to sync every 4 hours. But my hotmail I just click send/receive and sync it myself. I play music all day on my phone. Check twitter internet facebooks while music is playing and a lot of texting over a hundred sent and recieved daily. Before I made a few tweeks it would kinda die quickly but now it appears to be a lot better.
My batter DOES NOT LAST FOR CRAP!!!!! I took it off charge at 8:13 and at 10:30 i checked my phone, it went from 100 percent to 81 percent. HOW DOES IT GO DOWN 19 percent in 2 hours when i didnt even USE the phone, i just hit the backlight to check the time, this battery is unacceptable everytime i check the phone the percent has dropped

Do you leave 3G turned on? Do you have your e-mail and/or weather checking themselves automatically?
The phone can certainly be doing things that consume the battery, even if you're not manually handling it at the time.
I don't understand why battery life seems to differ so much from phone to phone. My battery life is excellent and I use it a lot. I do have to charge it every night but I expect that from a smartphone. It always lasts me throughout the day with music, videos, calls, texts and web use on 3g. I couldn't be happier with the battery life of my phone.
PLEASE give me good tips how to save battery? BTW im using ENERGY's latest rom with cookie 1.7. i dont understand why i have to stop my email and turn off 3g when this phone is MEANT for these features. theres no point of a having an excellant phone when you cant use its features to its full potentiol without having it die within 10 hours( with moderate use)
Battery is weird
The other day i charged my hd2 fully then got on an airplane all connections were watch from paris with love which looks great on the phone landed after an hour and a half and my battery life was down to 15 percent i think i might have a bad battery when i am in the car i leave it on the charge and when i am in the hotels that i stay in it stays on the charge or plugged into my laptop and thoughts??

Battery drains as fast as hell

My battety lost One percent in one till ten minutes. I alrrady tried to delete the batterystats but it doesnt help. Any suggestions?
Were you doing anything on the phone, when it droppped 1% in 1 to 10 minutes?
regards
Nope. Even in offline mode it drops that fast.
You tried restarting the phone? I'd prolly try a factory reset after that if nothing changes. Other than that I have no ideas.
Regards
I tried restarting, different firmwares, flashing back to stock rom with nandroid. Nothing helped...
How old is the device, and how many times did you charge it 'till now?
I'm on my 4th day since last charge, and standing at 43%.
In anthing battery related, this phone is god.
Hey hi,
I know is frustrating.. but I think we can fix it ..
First we have to figure out what is taking the charge on your batteries.
First check if wifi or bluetooth is turned on. If yes turn it off.
Bring down the brightness of your screen
go to WIFI Settings and turn off the network notification
install Advanced task manager from Market and see the background application. Some might be running as default. But kill all for safer side.
When ever you open an application it stays on the memory u have to kill it using that tool.
OR
IF nothing worked jump into an other firm ware update. I have this android 2.2 i9000xxjp3 Its working very smooth But its an beta version. I am quit fine with that ..
I already did this. And nothing helped.
Similar to my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730302&page=2
Autokiller does not have any effect. I uninstalled all task managing sh*** and I can't find any significant difference.
However, I found after 5 charging cycles it was better than before (now 2/3 day instead of 1/2 day).
okay that's nice 2 know
I got eleven hours... Will see if ut gets better after some cycles. But i rly think its a battery or phone defect.
Hi i just did a battery test on 10 mins of wifi browsing battery drop from 65 and now 60 with 45 pages. Can someone do a similiar test to compare cause i think mine also a flaw set from samsung thnx in advance
How old is your SIM Card?
I know some old cards can drain battery hardly cause there is no power saving implementet, newer have better power management.
Maybe the card is defective. If you can, make a test with adiffetent SIM Card.
Send from my GT-I9000 (I9000XXJF3) using XDA App
The other day, My battery was pretty low, less than 10%. I checked battery usage, and everything was okay. But I made 10 mins of call, and that used 23% of the battery, and that's from a full charge ;
EDIT: current usage stats, from a 100% charge to 31% battery left.
13h 36m since unplugged
Display 31%
Cell standby 20%
Phone idle 14%
Maps 12%
Android System 7%
Voice calls 4% - Time on is 1m 32s. 70/100 = 0.7. 0.7*4 = 2.8%. 1m 32s = 92s. 2.8/92 = 0.0304... *60 = 1.826
So, 1.826% of the battery is used for each minute of voice calls, which means a full charge would last for around 55 mins of talk time. WTF
EDIT 2: I'm using stock European ROM, XXJF3(?)
Do you guys have power saving enabled on the LCD?
I too experienced similar problems with my battery, a single charge did not last more than 17 hours tops. However, since last charge now I have had it running for almost 48h. So what changed?
- I moved to a better coverage area for 3g, but having only 2g on didn't make a difference.
- I disabled powersaving on the LCD
- I uninstalled the widget "Weather from yr"
- I did a full depletion + charge with the phone OFF
After doing this my battery improved tenfold. While I before when checking "Battery History" in *#*#4636#*#* secret menu I had about 80% Running time. THis is now down to 18%. There was nothing before or now in partial wake, which led me to believe that my phone was actually never quite asleep.
So, try what I did, and see if that fixes your problem, it did that for me!
I'll try it. Yes, i rly have a very old sim card. I think i get a new one when my contract renews on a other carrier. Maybe it helps. Thanks fou your help guys.
1 percent in 10 minutes means absolutely nothing. Does your battery fall from 100 to 0 in 16 hours after doing NOTHING on the phone? (equivalent of 1 percent every 10 minutes.) Try this a few times. Check what's using the battery the most. Remember that with any smartphone on the market right now, the more you use the display, the considerably less battery time you will have; so 16 hours on one charge is completely normal if, say, you have 2 hour display on time throughout the day. it's not realistic to expect any better, and don't believe people who say they can go a full 2 days with moderate/heavy use - this really isn't possible unless you have turned off literally everything, in which case it stops being heavy use.

Last time I was checking I had 34 hrs and 11% used for standby. Then I used GPS with screen on full brightness, had it set to WCDMA only with very bad coverage, was taking images and filming, watching video and surfing. I had no taskkiller or juice defender.
I easily get 48 hrs with a bit more moderate use.

Maybe you could enlighten us what your settings are.
My phone lasts no longer than 16 hours. But I also have Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth and Push Mail enabled most of the time and always 3G enabled (because otherwise I would have no use for a smartphone really).

Well, you have the same phone, they both have the same battery, they are both relatively new. If we put the phones side by side and did the same things on them are you really saying your phone lasts for twice as long as mine? REALLY? I'm sorry but through a day of what I would call "moderate" use, battery is uncomfortably low after at most 24-28 full hours (down to around 5%) and this seems to be the case with not just most galaxy S owners but pretty much every smartphone owner - it's very difficult to get the battery to last longer than 24 hours with "moderate" use.
What's your display use time at the end of those 48 hours you have the phone running for?

Battery charge too short?

Hello, Im noticing that the battery charge is too short.
I disconnected it from the computer (battery at 100%) at 23:00. Inmediately put it on fly mode (all services disconnected, low battery consumption). When I wake up at 9 o'clock, the battery was like 60% (and disconnected fly mode). Now, at 11, the battery is like 40%...
Yay, I usually charge it every night... I don't want to charge it twice/day.
I don't know if trophy have now battery problems or is just wp7.
Anyone with the same problem?
If you just got your phone, I think the battery was not run in yet. I have the same problem for the first 3 charge. Now battery life is slightly better than my old omnia 2 which last me 12-14 hours as I am a heavy user.
It have like 15 charges. It usually takes longer to uncharge, but not today, I will test it more days.
Thanks for you reply.
Sounds like there could be something wrong with it. Mine is a lot better than the HD2. I'm not a heavy user, but I get like an hour of music/radio on the way to work, then a few calls and SMSs during the day, an hour of music/radio on the way home - and it's still on like 70% when I set it to charge before bed time.
Update: seems location services cut the battery life in half. MS needs to do something about it to make it more efficient.
battery ??
How can i check how many % of my battery left
I've charged my Trophy about 4 times and the last time i overcharged just like in formating a battery ( i know the bqattery in Trophy doesn't require it but I can't hurt can it??).
The last time I charged it was on the new years eve just before midnight between 22-23. Now the battery has been showing the "critical battery mode" thingy for about two hours. I admit that I am not a heavy user however per day I make couple of phone calls, I make a few SMS and use the 3G mobile network/ WiFi(if available) to check internet write a mail, Facebook etc. and about 30 minutes / per day of music...( need to say that I don;t use the standard phones which came out of the box but Seenheiser 515HD model )
I have set the 3G and mobile data etc off, the brightness level to automatic, set the theme to dark etc. to save the battery as much as I can.
