Sprint battery killing me
 

I have all comms shut down but the phone. I talked on the phone for maybe 45 minutes this weekend. Had a full charge leaving the office friday, but phone was dead when i got in. I've had the phone for two weekends and I can't seem to keep it charged.

Any tips? This seems wrong

If you've only had it for 2 weeks, take it back to the store and get a replacement battery. Are you on the stock ROM? How's the signal where the phone was, if you left it in an area that has a soso signal, the battery gets drained by the phone searching for a better signal. We're there any apps left running in the background, i.e. weather update, e-mail, etc?

so you got a full 2+ days out of it? sounds about right to me. obviously there was also some data traffic, sms, or poor signal involved too, but overall that's about right.

That's what I was afraid of.

I ordered this combo for it...

The simple fact is that all modern smartphones have battery life issues, and pretty much want to be charged daily. Friday night to Monday morning is 2 1/2 days, on the FAR outer bounds of what they will sustain in even the lowest power use scenarios.

What do you expect out of a smartphone? 7 days? lol. I charge mine everynight. I use my phone alot and it makes it through the day. 2 days is actually pretty good.

LOL, no kidding.

I had something like 4 spare batteries for my original TP & I needed every one of them....

I am absolutely ecstatic that my Verizon TP2 can make it through a normal days use on one battery (I carry a spare battery for it, but I have never used it once & I've had the phone since the day they became available)

No Bs, actually Sprint TP got better with the ROM update, it got like 35% boost in my case. Still like Jmo, I had a series of batties readyto be deployed:mrgreen:

Seriously, you want a phone that lasts 7 days, get one of those crappy phones that doesn't do anything. :lol:
