Battery Life

[kld9]

My battery goes dead in about 8-9 hrs, with very little use of the phone.  What can be done?

[AZSALUKI]

plenty. search the forums. there's plenty of tips and tools. but the battery is bad in general.

I picked up Android Assistant, and it seems to help.  I have it set to turn lots of stuff off from time to time.  I also run my brightness at 25%, and do not allow much for updates and such.  I keep all of that to a minimum, and my battery life is much improved from the first few weeks I had the phone.

But as was said, it's poor.  A few rounds with a simple video game, and the battery gets it's butt kicked.

I had a fellow Android Central member recommend HTC Express website to me.  I bought two 1800mah batteries for

34.98 and they are working fine for me.  I also got a charger dock for them.  They are the same size so I didn't need to get a door cover to fit it.  I am pleased with them.  Droid devices are going to use more battery juice than a BB.  I have the brightness dimmed and I do make sure when I am done with applications to close out of them.  That BB habit is hard to break!  I can get two days but I still charge nightly because it is my only device.  I don't have a home phone. 

I had tried the extended that required the cover door and I hated the bulk.

see whats using your battery, settings>phone>battery use

set widgets to updates no more then once per hour

if your running weatherbug, a reboot at times will fix it as it gets stuck

what are you doing in that 8-9 hours that uses battery?
