Re: Sprint Epic Battery Life test

not going to read the entire thread but here is my experience

ok since the phone came out my phones battery has sucked....charged only when completely dead the 1st 3 times...my GF who did not do this and rarely charges her phone her battery runs circles around mine...while i charge mine nightly

many have had bad battery performance due to Time Without Service (TWS)...so i was near a sprint store and let them look at it...i was at 8hrs off charger and showing 52% TWS...my GFs shows 2% TWS and the techs at the store their phones 1-2% TWS...so i tell them there is an issue

they tell me oh well its the screen...its an advanced phone...blah blah....now i also carry an HTC Touch Pro 2 (WinMO) and those that know it sucks battery badly...after they do the RF testing and hard reset i wait 30 min in the store talking to the techs...check the battery and 51% TWS

so they are ordering a new phone...those who are having this problem i would suggest taking it back and get a new phone ordered...the more that do this the more likely it will be fixed...installing other programs to manage stuff and doing the airplane mode trick you are kidding yourself thinking this solves the problem

just thought i would share my experience
