how is your battery life holding up? mine seems to drop pretty quick when txting ... usually it will drop from 100 percent to 90 whithin 20 min of txting .... anyone else notice that? tell me how your battery holds up? i charge it everynight and leave it pluged in until the next day ... just wanna know your experiances with the batt
Definitely charge it every day, but for a fast touchscreen smartphone, iPhone 4 cant be beat. Do you have background apps running, depleting your battery more quickly?
My experience is that I lose about 1% battery every 3 minutes of continuous surfing or texting... as long as the screen is on... it's 1% every 3 minutes...

that seems right... i just closed out some apps that were running in the background... im guessing thats how all iphones are
I am a little confused. My Verizon phone was able to roam on GSM because they used TDMA. Tell it was shutdown. The phone recognizes it as Analog. If PCS has TDMA, It could be technically be used on GSM.

It all depends in:
Screen brighness
Type of activity
Weather outside
All 3 factors come into play, with type of activity being most influencing one.
So a game like need for speed will probably do fasterthan 1% every 3 minutes.

It also depends on signal strength and running background apps.

Or, conversely, a small number of them, or even one, may be running in the background. Navigation programs (Navigon, Co-Pilot) are notorious for consuming battery while running in the background. I'm sure there are others.

I have found the 3G to be the biggest battery hog! I just turn it on when checking for email or sending a pic.. after 15.50 hours of standby and 3+ hours of usage i'm at 85%! considering that at my desk the signal is god awful and the phone is always looking for a signal! the battery life is huge compared to my Droid-X it would have been around 50% (I'm not sure if you can turn off 3G on the X?)
I also have my "auto" brightness turned off and screen brightness set to just under 50%
It's not the post count..it's how the post counts!
my ip4 is doing good now. I took it off the charger at 715am and was 73% at 6pm. brightness is set to about 25. used it quite a bit as well. I'm happy with it

Why do they use so much RAM then? Using sbsettings it is possible to see how much ram is in use, and if there are a bunch of apps in the background, the RAM availability is always really low (<70MB vs ~350 MB when no tasks are showing in the double click part)
Remember on the "dumbphones" how you would have 2 sets of bars as the top and it would switch from EV to 1X whenever you sent a text.....its probably still doing that on the iPhone (switching networks back and froth) every single message you send. No wonder why the battery dies so quickly.
