My Battery testing...Live!

[damnitpud]

Hey Everyone, I keep reading about everyone saying the battery has been conditioned and now it lasts longer. I am not sure if this is the case. I think its basically we all got services shut off and thats why the battery is lasting longer. But what i plan on doing here is log everything i do with my phone through out the day. Each time i open it to check the time, texts or browser, i will log it in the first post of this thread.

Today i have turned off Wireless, Bluetooth, Auto-Sync for contacts, Use Wireless(Security & Location). i do have 3G and GPS on.

8:30am: Unplugged the phone, kept the screen off.

Today was not a good day for testing, i barely used the phone. But i am impressed with the amount of time i got with 3G on. I am assuming that turning off the Auto-sync for contacts and Wireless networks in Security & Location made the biggest difference. I plan on doing this again, hopefully with more use!

hmm good idea, maybe we should get some others to do this as well. If anyone does, please do it in this thread, do not start another. keep everythign to 1 post and just edit that.

Do a search on THreads I did this post a few days ago Mines lasted a solid 10 hours.

Today is a slow day with the phone, but i am somewhat impressed with the amount of time that has gone by with 3G/GPS on and the battery isn't just falling. Maybe the batteries do need to be conditioned?

Well my testing is done, i am going to bed and wish i could of used the phone more. I normally have at least 1-2 hours of talk time and at least 30 mins of internet browsing and more time playing with apps. But i was surprised with the battery life with 3G on, maybe the batteries do require a burn in time.

g'night!

hmm thats not bad, assuming 30% decrease in the first 8 hours of testing suggests that you could have lasted a whole 24 hours and still have like 8% left which at leasts lasts a couple hours when idle.
