Battery/App help needed

New to the Bionic (scary after reading the posts in the community); new to smart phones. Battery only lasts a few hours. Don't understand how to manipulate the settings to keep apps from hogging power. How do I manage settings to save power? Do I need to download Advanced Task Killer? Thanks, BD

This is the best advice you will get in a long time.

Don't listen to these guys, as the Bionic is a great phone. I had ZERO problems with mine, and most Bionic owners are probably the same way. If you want to get some great tips, go to androidcentraldot com.

BTW, most any problem that you encounter will be fixed by the new update.

Read the forums for yourself, don't trust me. Read not only these forums, but go to the ones at motorola. If you still want the Bionic, wait to see what the community response is to the update. I am sure you will be able to tell the petty complaints from the complaints about the basic function of the phone. This phone has a huge data connection problem.

since you're new to the bionic, how many apps have you downloaded that may be pulling on the battery?

a task killer is another battery draw.

How long is the battery lasting you? On 4g mode I usually get 5 to 6 hrs of heavy use.I use circle battery widget to monitor battery. On 3g mode I get around 7 to 8 hrs of battery life. The phone is a great phone. I am lucky not to have as many issues as other people. I feel that returning the phone and giving up is not the way to go at it.
