I think that people are judging battery use by holding and playing on the phone nonstop...if that is the case, 4-8 hrs is EXCELLENT! Quit complaining! If you are just using the phone -regardless of the apps- and you actually put it down some to enjoy life you can get over 12 hrs. I get 15+ hrs of use daily and my usage is as follows: wake up and play several rounds of YAMS/YAHTZEE... Play MRacing...check email... look at a video or two. Put phone down... text all day off and on... make calls during the day...usually averaging 10-15 each call.. some calls have been over an hour. Play some more rounds of YAMS...periodically check my facebook and make sure I check Android Mate to see that programs were closed by task manager. I've transferred albums via blue tooth to my brother and various apps during the day.. the longest my phone has gone is 1 day. I have my battery use and percentage widgets and have monitored this for past two weeks before deciding to post. I run Fresh 1.01.. and use LauncherPro Plus as my default home.
