just got my phone from digi on sat...i am quite dissatisfied with the phone battery..currently on os 4.0.2..like today...fully charged it by 8.40 pm, make about 20 min of call..then 10 minutes of surfin web and about..6 or 7 sms sent..and less than 5 minutes of gaming..the battery as of now is 75 % :s
i dun think that is very normal..even yest when i slept..the phone battery drop by about 15 % when i woke up this morning(7 hours sleep) only the 3g is on...brightness at half..i close all my task after i am done with it..no push,location service or wifi is turn on..the battery is worse than my fren;s 3g..is it coz the battery haven "kick in" yet as some might say..how long more shud i wait b4 i go to service center?
try checking under Settings>Network
Do you have your 3G set to ON all the time? What about Cellular Data is it set to ON all the time?
If you have 3G set to on all the time yes it does suck up alot of battery life, mine of 3G standby hours is around 16-18 hour under heavy usage, Games, calls, SMS, Web Surfing and on WIFI
If you have it on the EDGE network , this can be done by turning OFF the 3G and Cellular Data set to ON with that usage i can stretch it to 24-26 hours
If you have both 3G and EDGE (Cellular Data) turned off then, you'll see massive improvement on the battery life since none of the services will be running, I can get up to 2 days of standby with Games, SMS and phone calls
So my suggestion if you really want to save some batt is to, only turn on 3G when you're surfing the web when you dont have WIFI, if you are surfing on WiFI turn both 3G and EDGE off, same goes to before you go to bed . during the the day you can be on the EDGE network since it doesnt suck up much battery compared to when you're on 3G network
hope it helps
