Cell phone battery life

[personman]

My friend has an old nokia and its a color phone and he gets like 3 days of battery life from it
It barely has any features though.. and the phone feels cheap.

why does it matter if your battery lasts longer than 1 day anyway. Just plug it in at nighttime.

having a nextel this is a routine for me.

when i had cingular i did the same anyway

I recharge my phose like once a week. o_O

I love my Samsung VGA1000.

When the phone was new, I could go over a week without charging the phone if I wasn't talking much. I use my phone mostly for short calls, like finding out where people are, etc. The battery is getting old now though, so I have to charge the phone every 2 - 3 days.

I've also dropped it multiple times and it withstood the beating very well. A few scratches, but still works like a champ.

I highly reccomend Samsung.

Are you sure?
I have the same phone and like I left it on overnight and it was like 1 bar left...
I dunno, I really wish they had more accurate battery readouts. 3 bars is not enough. I never know if 1 bar measn I have like 5 minutes left or like a few hours, so I get really paranoid.
My friends phone tells you an estimated amount of time left on the battery.. i wish mine would do that

as i did with my cingular till day 5 when i needed it the most and the battery died.
needless to say I never made that mistake again

I like long battery life because I'm often not around a place to recharge my phone in the summer, with the exeption of a car charger whenever I drive.

go for the samsung

Trust me.

Tmobile sends their new phones (just replaced the last and final v300 with the samsung e315) with one bar of battery life. so 1/3rd of a battery. i recieved it yesterday at about 3 pm, ive been playing with it, using the camera etc etc the whole time, and just 5 minutes ago, the battery just finally died.


thats good stuff to me


always run your battery down all the way the first few times, trust me, it gives the phone more longevity in its battery.

Plus you know they only charge those batteries halfway when they first give them to you so your set.

i have a samsung that i can leave on constantly for a week and it wont need a charge, and if it does need a charge it can charge fully in an hour

3-4 days? How do you manage that, I don't use mine very often and get about 2.

I let the battery get as low as possible without charging. I know they are lithum ion batteries, but I used to charge nightly and the batt deteriorated much faster. This one is a year and a half old and still has crazy long life. I also made the backlight turn off faster to save power, and no vibe during rings.

also a way to keep a long battery life is to not use rapid chargers(1hr chargers)
a steady charge is better then a fast one.

thats the phone i have and its very nice

good reception

east contact list

takes a while to get the hang of adding buddies phone #

battery life is very long of a color pic phone

very fast charging,

never took more than an hour even if its dead and wont turn on!!

but its a older version soo i bet theres a newer model

[WicKeD_WaYz]

but if you have an hour charger than why do you need a long battery life. Honestly unless your spending multiple days out in the middle of nowhere then I dont see whats so hard about pluggin it for an hour every other day or so.

My last phone has a battery life of 10 hours when you wern't talking on it. Believe me it gets annoying. Even off the battery died in two days.
