worst battery

**killatrell2786** · 12-19-2009, 03:11 PM

I'm starting to have bad problems with my battery now. For the past couple of weeks I can't even get a full day out of it. Here I am now being down to 75% and its been off the charger for 3 hours. I downgraded my OS back to the official .351. I don't have to many apps running in the background except for Ubertwitter. Before this I was easily getting 40+ hours. Tried going back to the stock theme, no wifi, using 2g instead of 3g. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I tried everything that I know of.....

maybe its just a bad battery, maybe you were charging it and there was a power outage and it screwed up, more or less it sounds like a battery issue. it sounds like you have exhausted all possibilities and no resolution, i would suggest calling tmobile and seeing if they can get you a new battery, i have had a few sent out as their costumer. only once having to pay for it. hope this helps. cheers.

It is not the battery, you must of recently install a battery sucking App.

I keep a weekly backup of my phone just in case something like this happens.

Blackberry Messenger. If you're in a group, leave it. Also find out if any of your other apps are constantly refreshing via network connection.

I noticed that when i listen to pandora, or even music i added to my phone my batter goes a lot quicker also now that i have weather eye its going slightly faster but as long as i dont use pandora for a few hours straight my battery lasts about 1 and a half days. yeah groups cause slowness and battery kills lol

Probably the groups... Instead of facebook.... But one way to find out is to unistall FB and see if it helps.

I'm in 1 group and haven't had an issue. Must have something else (new app, radio)running in the background that is wearing down your battery or maybe it is simply your battery. Good luck.

This is definitely causing part of the problem.

FaceBook is a battery killer especially if people are always posting because it alerts you to each new post from someone on your list.

If you want exceptional power management roll back to 5.0.0.296 or forward to 5.0.0.423. 423 isn't as good as 296 but it's very very close.

So far I took off facebook and removed the groups and its doing better. I might try to put facebook back on it. Before it wasn't causing a problem.

CX, sorry as this would be a little OT.

It seems you already had your hands on .423 while the latest leaked OS is .421. I heard that this one will be released officially by a carrier. If so, how's your findings on it? Also, any clues as to when this will be released
