crappy battery after OTA

[eriscrazy]

my wifes facinate was getting great battery life before the update. now its dying really fast. she is not rooted and not hacked in any way. But the battery only lasts about 6 hours. any way to fix this? or should i just take the phone to verizon and complain? she is on her 2nd replacement.

This seems pretty common complaint since update to froyo. I've been experiencing too. I turned off the rotation rifle in the notifications toolbar and readjusted my juice defender settings. However it's still very noticeably worse.... Hoping there will be patch similar to what I've read about for the droid.

Get rid of any task killers or battery monitors (oxymoron). Not needed on froyo

Hey all...same here. I went to work, came out (phone on standby for 8 hours) and my battery went from 85% to 19%...so I called VZW. Here's what we did...

-Pulled the battery, waited 20 seconds, put it back.
-Powered back on and updated the roaming...dial *228 and select option 2
-He told me to monitor it and he'd call me Monday to check on it...or if I was still having problems that I could always call back.

Once done, I charged my phone to 100%, took it off the charger, left Mobile Data ON, I always leave WiFi ON, put it in standby and went to bed. 10 hours later, it is still at 91%! Holy ****, they actually helped me on this one.

Hope this helps...

I just don't get it. My phone has been on for 18+ hours now with average use, and I'm only down to 36%.

There's obviously something we're doing different here.

Hell, I even watched around 45 minutes of feature film this evening on it.

I'm getting better battery life than ever.

All I know is this: if you're multitasking data use (internet, GPS, etc) with phone functions (movies, extended game sessions, camera, etc.) plus phone service, the battery has always died fast.

[Hello Droid]

One would think we are doing something different that would cause a change in battery performence. However, in my case, I have not introduce any additional variables to my normal use. As a result, I should not be experiencing a new battery drain.
