Battery Life on Droid2 Global

[Nicolio]

I just got the Droid 2 Global. It was a replacment phone from the Droid 2 that I was having issues with. Anyone notice that the battery drains faster? I have all the settings so that it uses minimal battery, close apps when not in use and also cleaned up the "desktop" with running applications.

Yes, it drains battery faster, it has a faster processor which accounts for some of it, but it also has some extra features that may draw battery.  Some say to make sure that Network Mode is get to CDMA rather than Global for example.

Thanks Silver6055 for the response. In addition to the network mode, I have some tips posted below to assist with extending the battery life.

• Select a shorter backlight duration
• Lower the display brightness
• Turn Bluetooth off when not in use
• Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use
• Certain applications may be drawing excessive battery power. If you are experiencing shorter battery life after downloading an application try uninstalling the application.
• Close any third party applications running in the background
• Playing music, videos and viewing images in your phone will affect your battery life.

Hope this helps...
