Re: How's your battery life so far? Let's discuss ways to prolong battery life...

I have seen a drastic improvement from my TP (with custom rom and battery tweaks/hacks) to my TP2 (stock). I talk about an hour each day at work on my phone. I text and use the Internet a total of about another hour. I email about 30 emails. I play Need for Speed Underground about a half hour during work (bathroom trips and meetings). I pull my phone off the charger at 7:30am and by noon my TP would be around 50% and require a charge. I then also charged it on the way home at 5pm (20-25 minutes drive) and I would be at 30-40% when I went to bed about 11pm with similar usage after work as at work, except for the game.

I got my TP2 yesterday and charged it fully on the way home. I talked on the phone for about 1.5 hours last night. I played around with the device for another hour, installed some apps and games, and surfed the Internet for about 30 minutes. I sent and received probably 50 texts and sent about 10 emails. I didn't charge it last night because it was at 70% when I went to bed. This morning I woke up and it was at 62% (after receiving several emails and texts). I have talked about 30 minutes on the phone so far today, sent/received about 30 texts, sent/received about 50 emails, and showed a few people the cool new toy. It is currently sitting at 51%.

We'll see after a few days, but so far this is hands down better for me on battery life.
