Hello all

Being completely new to these types of devices for a phone, I now for the first time am able to monitor the battery usage better with the report it gives and for the most part I guess I understand most of it but I was just wonder about a few things.

So yesterday the unit was completely charged from the previous night and I didn't plug it in once to anything it could charge from through out the day an then even though the battery was low, I left it on last night to see what I would get.

So this morning when I got up it was off and even when I powered it up it immediately told me the battery was low and before I could even get it plugged in, it shut itself down.

Once I got it plugged in I turned it back on and quickly checked the report and this is what I got:

Standby: 8 hrs 59 min
Talk: 1hr 13 min
Device Usage: 2 hrs 29 min

So as far as what all these mean, I would assume the Stand By time is all the time is was completely off in sleep mode correct?

Currently I have it set to go into Backlight off and Standby when un-powered in five minutes, with both happening at the same time.

But just to ask, if I were to have that Backlight go off say in 3 then the Standby in 5, would that Standby time recording be started at the five?

So the second one is Talk which I think is simple enough but one question I did have for this is, is this anytime the phone or even the ringer is on or is it only when I talking?

In other words if I let it ring for eight rings every time I get a call but I never pick up and let those all go to voice mail, or lets I let it ring 4 times and click to have it go to voice mail, or even cancel the call, does that add to that time or is only started once I have made an actually complete connection?

So the last one is the Device Usage which I am a little more confused about but I would assume this the time either it is not in Standby or Talk, is that correct?



So the last question I had would be, am to understand that all these times are to be considered separate and then thus accumulative for a total time?

In other words, the Talk time is not included with say the Device Usage time correct? And even though I have the WiFi on all the time and get notifications of e-mails during that time with the notification light continuing to blink and I think even Weather and QuickGPS updates, that is not being added as Device Usage time as well Standby time is it?

I guess what I’m really getting at is that I’m wondering if I can say that to determine all the time my device had enough power from this complete last charge, do I add up all those times together?

So would it be fair to say that for this last charge, my device got 12hrs and 41 mins before it died?


Thanks for any help.
