I recently upgraded to a Moto Droid from a Blackberry Curve 8330. I'm mostly happy with the device except for the extremely poor battery life. According to the "About" screen, the device has been on for ~5 hours (constant browsing for four of those hours over 3G, no videos/streaming) and only have 20% battery charge left. Nothing other than the news/weather widgets are open in the background (Bluetooth and GPS on, WiFi off, auto-brightness on):
Display: 53%
Browser: 29%
Android System: 9%
Cell Standby: 4%
Phone Idle: 2%
Android OS: 2%
By comparison, I would regularly get 10+ hours on a single charge on my Curve 8330 with a mixture of calls amd heavy browsing with Bt/GPS on.
Also, the unit seems to get very hot in the area above the battery compartment.
Is this short battery life normal, or did I get a bad unit/battery or something?
