Battery issues/bloatware impact

[dedonderosa]

ive had my phone for 4 days now and the battery life is terrible i have most things turned off and with mininal texting use thats it. It would only last 5-6 hrs, i noticed i had PVMtpServiceStart eating up all my battery, so i did a factory rest and now its not running so ill see how its goes the next few days if i still keep having problems im gonna go exchange it for an iphone. Dont get me wrong i love this phone love the setup but need a good battery.

I had the same issue and now it's MUCH better. I did 2-3 factory resets. If you need to know how...

Go to: Settings, SD & phone storage...

how do u do it that way? i did it a different way.

u said settings, sd & phone storage.... then what?

Do what I listed above. It will wipe the phone but if you use google your email, calemdar, contact will come back. It will be as if you just took it out of the box when you are done.

Setting then go to SD & Phone storage, then hit factory reset and follow what it says to do.

I've had this DI2 for a week, during which I cursed battery life daily and almost took it back to Verizon. As an example-- turn it on 9:00AM, by 2:00PM it was under 20%.

But I read evan2001's suggestion to do a factory reset and it's like a different animal.

I turned it on at 9:00AM today, and at 3:45PM I have 87%.

This is more of what I expected.

Thanks, evan for the fix.

I too can get upwards of 20hrs. with moderate usage on my Dinc2. sometimes I can squeeze 2 days out of it w/o a recharge. Even with heavy use I have always gotten a full day out of it. Mine is stock, no app killers or battery saver programs on it. I do use public WIFI networks quite a bit rather than 3G, not sure if this has an effect.

As I understand it, wifi uses less battery than 3G, so you should see better battery life if you're predominantly using wifi for data.
