Hello everyone, I just hour the epic touch4g and after hearing so much good news about the battery life I came to conclusion that mines is terrible. I have been using android for a while do I know all the power saving tricks but my phone is constantly warm with nothing running and when its on the charger it gets really hot,thus a couple hours on this beast and shea done, anyone the same problem or have any solutions? Thanks

Re: Battery life Sucks
I think when they say good battery life they are comparing to their current phones. I know my EVO sucks down batteries and I don't EVER turn on 4g. I'm gonna do some comparisons when my shipment arrives.

Really, do you know what changed? Did you install any 3rd party apps, usage increase? I hope it's at least better than my EVO, I carry 2~3 batteries extra because of battery life issues.

Re: Battery life Sucks
Interesting in deed. I check it normally just to get a feel of what is killing my battery the most, but I myself am not sure what Android OS really consists of. That being said maybe someone who knows can speak up. It's (Android OS) never been a issue for me, so I never researched it, but if mine does the same I gonna get to the bottom of it. They also say that CIQ mobile analytics app installed by sprint is consistently getting info and relaying it to a 3rd party server. If that's part of the issue, rooting and removing should help out a lot. Mine currently is as follows on my EVO....

Display - 82%!?!?!?
Android System - 9%
Cell Standby - 4%
Phone Idle - 3%
Facebook - 2%
