Battery Life?

[Alcapwn89]

I have no idea whats going on with my battery life, Charged it last night, listened to some MP3s on the way to class, which is about a hour, when I got to class it hit 90%, I'm like ok, it's doing better now, Looked back at it about 3 hours later and it was at 50%, it was doing nothing the entire time, now I'm looking back at it and it's on 30%

current stats:
8h 11m 28s on battery
Cell Standby: 52%
Phone idle 28%
Android OS 7%
Display 6%
Mediaserver 2%
Android System 2%



What the heck, is Cell standby that much of a battery drainer? Note, I'm using the Extended battery

The more i have this phone, the more i suspect something is up with the cell radios inside the thing. Im not alone in thinking that either...something is seriously up with this thing. The battery drains way faster than my old Droid 1 even when it's sitting there doing nothing idle in my pocket.

I really love the phone, but the battery drain is killing the good mood for me. If we don't get any news of an update from motorola/verizon addressing this issue, I might return it before my 14 days are up and pick out another android device

I'm thinking now instead of putting the phone on standby I'm going to make a Sleep shortcut on the screen instead, this is ridiculous

It seems battery life is hot or miss on this phone. Some, like myself, are getting phenominal battery life (12+ hours easy), others are on the other end of the spectrum.

I'm halfway thinking that cell standby is such a high percentage because there's nothing else to really eat up the battery.

Regular battery.

edit: 12 hours 16 minutes off charger... STILL 80% left, wow, lol.

Well, that would make sense if nothing else is using the battery. But even if that's the case and nothing else is really running, cell standby shouldn't drain the extended battery by 30% in two hours as it's been doing for me in an area with tremendous coverage.

Thanks crazy! My extended battery doesn't even do close to that.. I can get 12-13hrs with 5% left.

This is an extended battery

I know, just saying mine doesn't.

When posting stats can you guys include how long the display has been on? I have the extended battery and im going on 11 hours...but 3 hours 15 minutes of display time.With 13% battery remaining

Display time will help us determine how much you use your phone compared to how long your battery lasts...obviously the more you use your phone the shorter the battery life haha
