Re: Battery trick is a crock

I have found with Froyo that my battery has been going down much faster than with the 2.1 version of Android. I have found significantly that having a task killer helps tremendously. Especially when I Just turn the phone on and after everything is loaded I go into task killer, kill the tasks that I know are extraneous and don't need to be running for the phone to operate, and I can usually get by in a 14-16 hour day with moderate to heavy usage without having to plug my phone in because it is dead. I am using my Imagio 1400 mA (I think) battery.

In regards to the battery trick. I use my phone as my alarm clock. So I keep it on until it wakes me up. Then I just turn off the phone without unplugging it. When off I let it charge for about another 30 minutes. Then when I turn my phone on it drops to roughly 99-98 within few minutes and then it seems to stabilize and drops as I think that it should drop depending on usage.
