My LG revere-3 is 10 months old and I have had to charge the battery twice in 4 days, and the phone has only been in standby mode for those 4 days, No calls made or received.
Should i expect better life for the battery or is it due for replacement?
Joe935, that low signal can actually be the answer behind your battery life. When the phone is working hard to get a signal it will use the battery at a much faster rate of speed. For example, when in the basement of my home I lose signal or drop to one bar. When I was down there for some cleaning, my battery, that typically lasts about 16 hours, was completely dead in 5 hours with very little, if any use.LorenB_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupportIf my response answered your question please click the �Correct Answer� button under my response.

Bare with me, I haven't had any coffee yet, but based on my math you get 2 days of standby with each battery. I get 1 day of use with mine and it's very minimal - I think you're doing okay.
I'm not familiar with that phone, but you could look under settings at any battery power saving methods; dim the screen etc.
Thanks Mii.
There is no battery saver, but i did make some adjustments to screen lighting. But since the phone is usually in standby mode that wont help much. Phone is mainly for emergency use.
How old is the phone?
2 days isn't bad. I know that manufactures have phone standby times that are always something crazy; 5 days etc. I've never known that to be true.
It's just 10 months old.
Joe935, having your phone charged when you need it is crucial. Charging every other day is not uncommon for a more basic type of phone. The screen brightness that you adjusted certainly can assist in adding a bit of life. There are other items that also wear that battery down a bit faster. For example, any text messaging, having the phone on vibrate, or using the camera, can all have an impact on the battery draining at a faster rate of speed.
You indicated that you have had the phone a few months, was this the first that you had to charge twice within 4 days? Were you traveling or did you notice weaker than normal signal at that rime?LorenB_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupportIf my response answered your question please click the �Correct Answer� button under my response.

At first I was not leaving the phome powered on all the time, It is just recently that the phone is being left on. Where I live i am lucky to get signal strength of 2 bars at times its just 1 bar.
