I think theres something wrong with the way i calibrate. I plug into the wall charger, the charge rises a few percent immediately. It just cant last a single day!
Shoulda gotten a Blackberry. (or a droid)
"Raise the flag high! Let the degenerates know who comes to claim their lives this day!"
did you charge it all the way the first charge without turning it on?
how are you using it?
mine rarely dies on me, the lowest i've seen it gotten is at 15% for me

Maybe try running it completely flat and then leaving it on the charger for a fair while?? I dunno...
Used it for 2 weeks already..Yellowman03 wrote:

The battery design is flawed but the iPhone still looks amazing

The 3GS's battery drains power like a vaccum cleaner. I have to charge it every day, power management (turning off WiFi, turning down the brightness etc) doesn't work as well as it did on my 1G iPod Touch.
Yet Apple claims it has a longer battery life :roll:

Turn off wifi and when you don't need it it turn off 3g too. Games and web browsing kill the battery.
Pretty much the standard mantra for saving battery life on any smart phone. The 3G radio on my Magic drains the battery life like crazy, so I usually just use wifi whenever I can.Ec0li wrote:

Just carry a spare battery for it... Oh wait...

Is yours a 3g or a 3gs?
I got a Satio for Xmas, lasts about 48 hours ish normal use. I thought that was bad!

My phone(not a smartphone) can last me about 3 days with relatively heavy texting. If I call though, it dies in 2 hours.

Dear God please let my karma one day reach 100, whether it be tomorrow or 1000 years in the future i want it to happen.
I can get about 2 days out of it playing music off it for about 6 hours per day, the games are crap so they never get usedStimey wrote:
