not sure if anyone has had this "problem", but i would only use my bb here and there .. maybe check some tweets/fb/texts/bbm and stuff but it only lasts about 24 hours ..
i've been charging it every night since i got it, and i realized that it hasn't got any better.
by backlighting is already set on low and it still hasn't made a difference.
i would expect my battery to last about 1.5-2 days ..
should i buy a new one?
Keep in mind the 99xx has a smaller capacity battery, larger screen w/ touch and faster processor than older models. It is normal for it to not last as long.
The price we have to pay for modern smartphones is nightly charging.
24 hrs of battery life is good for a current smartphone.
The batteries are Lithium ion, which actually are better to top off, and not let drain completely. The battery cannot be overcharged, so if you get a chance to charge it, just do so and top it off. It will make your battery have a longer lifespan than if you let it drain completely.
24 hours if you are actually using your phone is significantly past that of what it should be giving you...
...That's great battery life by anyones standards.
i have no problem with the 24 hour battery life, but it seems to me that the battery life in the 9900 is much more shorter than the sony ericson xperia.
my brother who has the xperia and seems to get atleast 2 days worth of batterly life before charging it again. i just figured maybe the 9900 could perform better.

Your brother's device is 3 years old. It only has a 528 MHz processor, compared to the 1200 MHz processor in your 9900. Even my BlackBerry 9700 has a faster processor than than Xperia.

You are having excellent battery usage. Most would die for how many hours you are getting. My best was about 30 hours off charger and I was at about 40% left.
Yeah 24 hrs is pretty good. I can get 24-30 on the weekends when I hardly pick up my phone but on extremely heavy usage days I can get as little as 6-7 hours before I hit the 15% mark.
I have picked up this extra battery and charger and it has been a lifesaver for me on numerous occasions...
24 hours would be really nice. I manage a full awake day most of the time. Which is fine as I don't travel much anymore.
So my Bold and my PB recharge every night at the same time I do.
