That's depressing... although not completely unexpected, anyone else give it a shot?

Um, I think Im just gonna leave my battery life alone lol....I use my phone every chance I get during the day for email, web, games an such....some days I'll be able to unplug it at 7 a.m. and go until about 8:30 or 9 a.m. (with very little use, just to check time and maybe one phone call) and still have about 90% battery.....other days, I unplug at 7 a.m. and subject the phone to the same type of use and go until about 10 a.m. or so.....its just soooo dang random at times, but Its something I deal with...After all, this is a very high end device with many power hungry features and short of draggin around a Optima Red Top battery with me everywhere i go, Im fairly pleased with the battery life lol

I'm lucky if I get 4 hours most days.

It shouldn't be that bad. you either have lots of background things running, or you're on the phone non-stop.

Here's what you need to do... go to settings, about phone, and press battery... now tell me if the up time and awake time are the same. If they are, you're phone isn't sleeping, this was causing me to have 4-6 hours of battery life until I fixed it.

How did you fix it?
