Texting and Battery Life?
Why does it seem like my texting is killing my battery life? I can only get like 4-8 hours from a charge on my phone. I'm running MR 4.6 (need to update profile) and on Alltel. Phone calls and data (EVDO) don't use as much battery so my theory is that it's the SIP using the battery the most.
Any suggestions? Just throw it out there no matter what (even if it's a new battery). The phone is pretty much new. |
Re: Texting and Battery Life?
Whats the draw on your battery while your txting? Whats the draw on your battery at idle?
(WTB 4.7 maybe the SIP issue being resolved will help) I cant offer too much help about battery life cause I charge mine everywhere I go. Charger at home/work/car. And FFS update your profile (Just playing). |

One thing:
If you're on EVDO, text messages send and recieve in 1X mode. If you're constantly switching back and forth, it kills the battery. Something to try: HKLM->Software->OEM->PhoneSetting Change "HiddenModeOperation" from 1 to 0. Then go to Settings -> Phone -> Mode of Operation and set 1X only. Try that for a day and see if it solves your problem |

Same thing happens to me. I'm on EVDO all the time and it's constanltly switching from EV to 1x when sending/receiving. The battery depletes at an alarming rate. I don't know if I want to set the mode to 1x permanently because I use a lot of data during the day too and I don't want to use 1x instead of EV since it's so much slower.
Overall pretty frustrating :( |
