I've read a lot on this forum about battery life, but wanted to see if some of the more knowledgeable posters would confirm/deny my assumptions.
I probably get about 12-14 hours out of my Droid most of the time. I'm a relatively light user, couple short calls a day and a handful of emails/texts/IMs. Otherwise my usage varies, but we're really talking about a few minutes of web browsing and maybe 10 minutes playing that bubble game. I've alternated between automatic and lowest brightness, but can't really discern a consistent difference.
Now, looking at my usage statistics, the biggest culprits are generally display, standby, wifi (on at home, off when out) and the OS.
My guess is that I'm a little on the short side of battery life, but that mediocre cell reception could be exacerbating the problem. I don't really notice a great deal of difference when out, but I did have one instance in a better reception area where I seriously lost less than 10% overnight, which never happens for me.
Sorry for the length, but just wanted to lay it out for anyone willing to help. I'm rooted now and mildly overclocked, so we'll see whether this has an impact one way or another.
Thanks.
