Hey everyone, I've had the Droid for 4 days now and I'm loving it. I had questions about the battery, because there seems to be a lot of variation between what everyone says.
First of all, with the brightness turned all the way down and only sync running, the battery drains at about 10% an hour with very light usage such as texting, and about twice as fast when I browse the web. The second issue is that after a few minutes of web browsing, my phone will get slightly warm- about 99-100 degrees F according to the battery temperature meter. The one time I turned on GPS and activated Google Maps, the battery got REALLY hot- 107 degrees after 5 minutes of use! Is this normal for everyone out there? I'm afraid that with that amount of heat being generated, the phone is going to be damaged if I use Maps too much.
Thanks in advance for any help!
