Purchased the phone a few days ago, rooted and running a custom ROM.
However, prior to root, the phone seemed to run unusually warm with all stock functions even with semi-moderate usage and screen-on time. As a result, the battery life hasn't been spectacular IMO.
I've given it a full charge and will let it settle in for a few days without flashing another ROM or any miscellaneous tweaks to see if it performs any better, but so far, I'm getting 8-9 hours on a single charge, which will most likely be a deal breaker going forward.
Another thing I've noticed is that, when attempting to USB charge, more often that not the batt life will decrease with usage. I can understand it holding charge at worst, but not dropping.
Coming from the 3D (Shift and Hero prior to that), and have been HTC-loyal since the WinMo days (Titan, Diamond), but if I can't get a full day out of this phone w/ "normal" use (200>texts, 10 min>calls, 2hr>internet/social media), I will probably look to see how the S3 performs once it comes out later this month or next.
Anyone else having non-impressive batt. results? Thoughts in general regarding I may or may not be doing to enhance the results? Thanks!
**EDIT** - Should mention that I'm running CPU settings of 1512/486 On Demand. Flirted w/ force dualcore mod for a few hours, and am aware of batt. strain w/ that (or any other CPU tweaks), but again, batt. life seemed below average with all stock settings.
**EDIT #2** - Requesting post deletion from mods; didn't realize another thread w/ same topic a few posts down. I should've known better.
