Something has to be wrong with my battery right?

Mikeschevelle · #1 (**permalink**) 11-04-2010, 06:48 PM

So I took my Epic ( not rooted ) off the charger at 11 last night. Brightness is as low as it gets, I am not using a live wallpaper, and I also had placed it in airplane mode, and killed the apps

Wake up at 6 this morning and I only had 38 percent left on the battery?

No way in hell can this be right?

what widgets do you have running ?

Are you using the most recent (DI18 ) update ?

Do you have background sync turned on ?

All of this matters.

Should it though.....I know these phones are borderline computers, but if its not going to last me half a day with the phone in airplane mode, what good is it, especially for $300+.

Have you read through this thread?

Its a lot to go through if you haven't but pretty much every battery issue we have encountered is discussed there.

Yanno, I wonder if before DI18 my battery was ever as great as I thought. I knew the stock battery meter was off but its unbelievable how off it really is. Lookin at it & seeing a tiny slice gone I was thinking I was in the 90s at least mid 80s ... No lower 70s .... With what appears to be 3/4 of a full meter is 50% ... I suppose with dg27 I didn't care because I got amazing battery life .... since DI18 2 hours into my day im at 70 ... im gonna read that thread johnny.bravo posted maybe i will see something that will help .. im stock btw 100%

i didnt say it was rooted but we needed more info. to help, drm is not your only issue here though. might be better now with drm off/removed but still drm isnt only issue. goodluck
