Battery issues

[Judypupek]

I've tried everything mentioned in the forums to improve my battery, but I am only getting about 9 hours of minimal usage from my battery. I use task killers, history erasers.... nothing is helping. I did the *228 thing, a battery pull..... nothing is helping. Very frustrated, especially when you can't connect to a charger! Any suggestions??

Here is some information on task killers. They seem to do more harm than good. If you're stock, the only thing you can really do is some battery conditioning. Charge your battery full without interruption and then run it down almost completely without interruption. Do this a couple times and see if you get any improvement.

Thanks so much! I'm getting rid of the task killers now to see if it helps!!

Along with letting Android control the opening and closing of apps, you should use the "back" softkey to exit apps as that will close them. Also get into the habit of pressing the "menu" softkey and selecting close or exit if the app has those options.
