Bad battery life?

[scdown]

9 hours to 61%, standard battery after a full charge overnight. I'm impressed at how it's behaving on first charge. More later...

I received my device with around 50%. Wore it down to 0% and charged overnight. Today, at first, my battery seemed to be dying very very quickly. As soon as I took it off the charger it said 98%. As the day went on it still felt to be draining very quickly as well.

However, it seems like the lower the battery is getting, the slower it is draining! So perhaps I just need to give it more time, and a few more 100-0 rundowns and full charges! Either way, seems like it is going to last me through the day with no problems!

Settings -> Battery (sorry, not an app, just what I'm using now)

Battery life was below par the first day with heavy usage and many downloads and syncing of accounts. Second day, few downloads and auto sync off has been impressive. Haven't touched brightness though, leave it on auto. I don't see the point in spending $50 to go from 1850 to 2100

Battery's been great, was on 4G all day, listened to music for about an hour, watched 6-7 youtube videos, lots of web browsing, lots of screen time.

Looks like I'd have ended up with nearly 9 hours before recharging. Once they update the auto brightness software I imagine we'll see a big improvement as it looks like the screen is taking up a lot of the battery.

10h 15m 57s at 34% mostly 3g though on extended battery. 4g may be the real culprit

I'm just now at 8% battery. Unplugged from charger at 4am and did email and have been listening to internet radio for 4 hours with no data drops. Pretty happy with that.
