Upstairs in my room with good reception I get one hour of sot time per 10% used (Using taptalk and Twitter).
Downstairs where the poor reception is, i get 1 hour of screen on time per 20% used. Same usage.
This is crazy, I never knew reception had such an impact on battery life. Its dumb founding. Sadly i spend most of my time downstairs thus I probably will get subpar batter. Crazyyy[emoji41]

You don't have WiFi I assume? WiFi calling shuts off the cell reception and your phone will never have to look for signal.

Yes, your cell service is shut off totally while on WiFi calling. I suggest you turn it on.
Edit: I apologize in advance but WiFi calling is a T-Mobile thing, I'm not sure which version of the phone you have. Sorry about that.

Now now now... to be fair, I've sat there with my Hero comparing speeds vs and Epic and Evo, while it's definitely slower it's not slow enough on CM6RC1 to make anyone go "I would definitely prefer an Evo or Epic" unless you were A. A geek like most on here B. A and C. B.

How could I not? He stirred up more bull$h1# in the Hero forum than anyone I've ever seen.
I won't post any of the PM's I got from markus.. or fixxxer. But I do still have them.
I'll leave it alone now, I just have a lack of ability to ignore bullcrap, what can I say..
I hope fixxxer/markus likes his job with Sprint, sounds like a fun gig. But I hope to hell he doesn't get an EVO, and if he does and starts spreading his particular brand of antagonistic, unhelpful negativity around the EVO forum like he did here in the Hero forum then then I imagine I may just end up catching another ban..
Sorry to see he's back, wish he would get an iPhone, that's all.

You are the first person since the Epic's launch that I've seen complain about this... so yeah I'm thinking defective.
Or the phone is fine and seeing Sprints great one day, terrible the next network, but antennagate is causing you to think every low signal is a grip issue.
HAHHA.. oh shoo.. your serious huh?. Nope not here

Not specifically antennagate, the vibrant is my point of reference. Whenever i gripped the bottom of the phone the bars dropped significantly

2012 the Evolution of Human Consciousness
I have come to the conclusion that the reason some users are having problems with their phones is this.....
ITS YOUR OWN FAULT!
Leave the phone the way Samsung intended it and 90% of you wont have problems
Dont get me wrong i was one of these people.....Got the phone...was really happy with it and then i started to work my magic lol! New launcher here, different widget there and so on and so on.
Ended up with terrible battery life and then with a phone that got so hot it shut itself down!
Since that time i have reset the phone and kept it completly standard...what a difference...battery last 2 days again and the phone is fast and cool!
So, moral of the story...leave it alone and just enjoy the phone as it is....if you dont you only have yourself to blaim
so endith the lesson

You only have to look at the number of problems post about
Its not the phone 90% of the time but the user!
Dont get me wrong im all for changing my phone to the way i want it etc but all it ever does is bugger the thing up!
If the phone is left as it comes out of the shop then the chance of problem is far reduced.
This phone has been refined so far that in standard form there very little wrong with it. Problems arise when we start messing with it to much.

If you want to get a phone and tinker around with it adding here and taking away there then fine...just dont then come on here complaining about the phone and making it look bad...its a great phone....if you leave it alone lol!

Based upon what?
you disagree?
if so why...if its the phone thats at fault all the time then why bother with one?
You think the user is never the cause of problems with the phone? Is that because we are all technical geniuses?
do not fight guys.
most phones have bugs.
if you give the user too much freedom, the user will abuse it, tarnish the brand, and you will pick up the bill (Jobs' very successful business model)

I agree and i never said it was perfect
but this phone is so much better than many and all the niggles are getting sorted the more android and samsung develops.
The point i was making is that the majority of problems on here are not because of some minor bug...more likely down to user error or the result of other apps etc that have been added.

not the case
You're making a sweeping generalisation based on absolutely zero evidence. The worst kind of troll.
Are the Orange FC problems caused by user error? No - KE2 firmware is bugged. Is the appearance and activation of Wifi sharing user error? No, its a bug. Is the unexplained battery drain and high Android OS use user error? No.
This thread contributes absolutely nothing. It only serves to aggravate those of us with issues that we're trying to resolve. Is it a great phone? Yes. But right now it had issues. You become an early adopter, you accept that. And you try to make the product better.

dont want to be on here all night but lets look at the obvious...Battery life
Numerous complaints about that
im no expert and dont profess to be but from my own experience when i had lots of widgets, different launcher etc installed my phone struggled to last the day. Since my reset to standard as of now the phone is still on 78% and thats after being unplugged since 8am.
Hang on (door slams). I'll just go and buy an iPhone.
