Re: A little tough Love about battery issues.
Update on battery life:
Full charge this morning at 6:00am. It is currently 3:00pm and I still show 90%. This is waaaaaaaaaaaay longer than previous. This is about the 5th charge. Assuming I don't experience a quick drop in charge, I'm on par to get 24 hours or more of standby. I've made a single 2 minute call, sent 4 text messages, and have shown off a few features such as web browsing and interface stuff to a few friends. Maybe 2 minutes of web browsing.
Earlier this week I was seeing 12 hours max with zero activity. What the heck is going on? Guess we'll see tonight if the indicator is lying.
1 possibly major variable: For the past 5 days I've been in an area of low signal. Today I'm in an area of mediocre signal... maybe 3 bars max. At home it goes between 0 and 2, rarely 2... I basically can't use it at home unless I'm in my driveway. Same with other providers though.
Update: dropped to 80% after watching TV for a couple minutes at 4:00pm. 10 hours and 80% left, then 10 minutes later down to 70% after a couple calls.
Update: 6:00pm and still have 70% left, that's 12 hours with several more phone calls of about 2-3 minutes each. Not bad.
