bold battery life

how are your battery lives?

mine's down to 50% after a day with 3G on (with no browsing), few emails/text messages received, a few minutes of brick breaker, one call and some other tinkering around with the OS.

is this normal?

thanks

in my experience that would be normal if you are using a rom that is less than .162.

.162 and .167 sustain battery life much better.

Why come on to this forum and show off!!

You KNOW that length of battery life is just a dream for most of us with that kind of use. I would keep quiet or you may get mugged. 50% ! You lucky, lucky thing

There os NO WAY my battery makes past 6-7hrs, it is TOTAL and UTTER CR@P, just as well I have a rucksack with a generator and spare batteries in

Not yet, you will need to find a friend with a PC. I have great reception and that make a big difference in your battery. I receive and read about 60 emails a day and answer about 30-40 of them. I use about 2000 minutes each month and add stuff to my schedule as needed and I have never come home with less than 50% at the end of the day and the day starts at 3:30 when it is lifted out of the cradle.

My battery lasts about 2 days on 3G only, and about 3 days on 2G only.

The first day mine lasted about a day. But yesterday and today its been like 50% at the end of the day. You should find a public computer and update it.

is it a great deal of trouble? there's something about a JL cmder or something out there ... is that a necessary step?

My Battery last 2 days.

My Bold will last about 2 days with 3G but no other programs running at the background. PIN and Email, that is all. If I have MSN, Google map and Viigo running at the background, Bold will work for about 5 to 6 hours then radio shut off. If I only have MSN running then Bold could run about 9 to 10 hours. I am with .162 official. I do wish I can have my Bold last for 2 days with MSN on. I also notice if I do not use lots of data, one full charge will last longer. Watching movies on Bold will not shortten bettery life that much.
