Yeah not sure, I woudn't count on that. Thing is if they send you one that isn't in the box you are going to have to use the battery you have now. So I guess just don't be alarmed if your led does not turn green when done, cause I get pretty good life and mine does not do that.

Droid X Battery Life

I think facebook has been eating my battery since it syncs all of my contacts! Does anyone know how to make it sync "only existing contacts" ....i tried removing facebook in my accounts to add again but never saw anything about who to sync, it just went to the accounts screen after i logged in.
Also, how are you all setting fbook sync to hourly....etc. I feel like my phone is always pulling data? Id like to set it to a certain timeframe but never see settings for it.

Not sure how to fix your issue with Facebook (There is a way though), but settings pertaining to your DX pulling data are very simple to alter...hit your [hard] menu button>>touch settings>>scroll to battery manager>>and then go to battery profile options>>and in there you'll see data timeout - set it to 15 minutes.
After I did this I could pull 10 hours out of my battery (heavy use), and 15 or thereabout with moderate use.

I'm @ 15% battery life left, 35 hours of usage.
In that 35 hours, I have:
- Used Bluetooth/Pandora to hook up to Ford sync for 2-3 hours (multiple commutes)
- Did the 2.2 OTA update
- Received/sent 30+ text messages/gtalks
- Received/Read 10-20 Gmail emails
- Made a few short <5 minute phone calls
- Downloaded/Installed ~5 apps from the market
- Played around on Buzz for a total of an hour
- Messed around on Facebook for a total of 30 minutes
- Read random blogs and wikipedia articles for a total of 30 minutes
- Other miscellaneous stuff like just playing around with settings since its still new

See thats the stuff Im talking about! Thats just awesome.
thanks for this update.. lets us know that DX does have a great battery!
Heres a quick update to my situation.
I still have not received my NEW exchange phone that VW is sending me. But I still wanted to update on it. We all new the 2.2 update that just got released yesterday. Well, I have tried to download it the 2 different ways that VW help page says to do and no luck. I cannot get an update when I go to "about phone > search updates" its comes up saying "try again later" Its been doing that all day yesterday and today. I also tried it on the wifi network, still no luck.
It does appear to me that my phone is defective like VW said it is.
Any thoughts?

ok...people that post things like this I just can't believe it. My phone wouldn't go 35 hours not even with light use. Let alone doing all of that stuff. And I consider my battery good.

Went to sleep around 4am and just woke up at 1030am. Phone was in airplane mode.
Still @ 10%, but now I am at 43 hours.
By no means am I a power user, though. As I detailed above, that is pretty moderate usage I think.
I'm not rooted, otherwise I would take a screenshot. I have battery indicator, so it is in my notifications "10, Unplugged for 43 hours" which matches up with when I unplugged it at work 2 days ago. No matter what I do, though, you won't believe me because the system battery stats (with the %'s of whats using the battery) was reset with the OTA update I did last night.

My phone will never go 43 hours with that much usage. I text a lot throughout the day...There's times where I sent hundreds of texts a day I wonder if that and the vibration kill the battery that bad.
