Getting really pissed about battery life
I would see previous posts about poor battery performance in the past, and just ignore them, because I had always had decent battery life. I found out early on how much push mail drains so I set it up for longer incriments of time.
Now I'm starting to see really absurd battery drains. I would charge my phone up at night and leave for work, and lets say at 8:30am this morning I unplugged it from the charger. Now at 11am, my meter shows 74%. I think over the course of that 2.5 hours, I installed skyfire, and read 2 emails and 2 text messages. I can't figure out what the hell has changed recently to make this problem start happening. I did have a charging cable go bad about that time. It would not charge the phone, and would constantly show errors if plugged into a computer. Wonder if it ruined my battery?
I run mightyrom, and recently switched from Sense to Titanium. I do run System Seven for mail push but it had never before caused any real drain. I'm thinking of just going to get my battery replaced, and maybe trying a fresh hard reset. I'm just a little disappointed that on average, I go from 8:30am -> maybe 9pm and down to under 40% with medium usage. Not playing any kind of media. I open some web pages, emails, text messages, and make some phone calls. Pretty lame how spotty the battery is.
