The Community is in Read-Only Mode as we get ready to unveil a brand-new experience. Stay tuned something amazing is on the way!
I've read about this on another board as well. Mine seems pretty good however.
Their solution is to try this - charge the battery with the phone powered on. Once it is fully charged and it pops up battery full, unplug it and power down. then plug it back in until the battery is fully charged again. They seem to think the meter is not reading the battery fully and this procedure is referred to as a "bump charge". Dunno if it will work but.....hey...cant hurt right?
Post your results!

Battery life has been hit and miss with Froyo. Some like yourself report horrible life and some report not much if any difference than Eclair (2.1).
I have been reading on this and a couple other forums about folks having allot of issues with the stock version of Froyo in the short time it has been officially out. I hope it wasn't released to soon.

I know the procedure you are referring to however you have left out one step. You need to clear the Battery Stats, but it can't be done without some other procedures.
Battery needs to be recalibrated, you'll be fine in a few days
I am experiencing the same problem with battery life. Pre-Froyo, I was thrilled with my battery life--I used to brag about it to my friends with other Android phones, who had to charge their phones multiple times per day. Mine would last almost two days!
Last night, I went to bed with the battery at 100% and this morning woke up with 42%. What gives?
I will try that bump procedure. Fingers crossed!
Same here sience I upgraded to Froyo 2.2 it drains my battery. I downloaded two apps 2 hours later it telling me I need to charge the phone cuz its going to die? What?
Any one having any email issues?
Thank you
After first installing FRYO my battery life was terrible. Today I noticed that it has improved considerably. Like some one ellse on here mentioned about giving it time I would agree with him.

I tried that and still the battery life wont last a day without having to charge it at some point, any other sugustins? And no my batter life has not improved much sience the update of Froyo.
But much thanks
Have you checked under Settings-About-Battery Use to see if anything is there?

About once every couple of weeks, I will power off the phone, pull the battery for about a minute or so, put it back in, and then charge is overnight while it is off. I heard this from someone..
I also know my battery is not lasting as long also since Froyo, but that is because I am using it more now than I did before also. I am constantly looking through the settings, trying to find this and that, see what new features and options are there, etc. If I do not play with it all day long, mine last about 1.5 days, otherwise it lasts only about a day. After a full charge last night, I am currently at 37%, with light usage, but I am still looking around on the device.
My battery life went down after Froyo update. It barely lasts half-a-day even though usage pattern has not changed. With 2.1, my battery used to last one full day.
I hear that the new system needs some time to "learn". Hopefully, I will see improvement in a couple of days ... otherwise, this Froyo update sucks just for this once issue
My battery life too has been cut in half after the Android 2.2 update for Samsung Fascinate. Now I feel stupid to have updated the software on the first day.
If you are experiencing similar problems, please take 2 mins of your time to call Verizon and tell them about the battery life problem as I just did. After initial troubleshooting, they collected my information and sent it to Samsung. Samsung should know about this issue because only they are best equipped for fix this problem. Posting complaints on a web forum isn't going to help much. So please call Verion now.
I too am having problems with battery life and its driving me crazy......having to charge it 3-4 times a day and I don't even use it that much. I can start looking at something with a full battery life and within mins its about dead. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr fix this problem
