I have my DROID less than 30 day trial period.
First my lithium battery discharged very fast in less than a day, without even turning it on.
But I noticed the wifi and blue toooth were on and turned them off.
Now the rate is not as quick, but even it spend the whole day in sleep mood, but no usage, the batter only lasts about 2 days, maybe 3.
If I use just the phone at all, it lasts between 1-2 days.
However, if I attempt to use the "At Home" feature for GPS navigation of about 45 minutes home, it will last less than one day.
That does not seem to be good that it will last less than a day, with even one hour heavy usage.
If that is an average, then you couldn't even get to charge it at the end of any day. It would be dead already.
Lastly it also only takes about 2 hours to charge up from less than 20% charged. I don't know if any of this is normal, or if there is something wrong with with my battery.
I am not used to lithium ion batteries.
Does anyone else have similar problems or concerns with the DOID battery usage ???
I am still in the take back period and I am trying to find if the usage is normal, or if there is a bad battery.
ON USB Drivers ---- Last point, I bought the plug in (power/ USB) adapter, which lets you plug into computer. I did plug it into PC but it requires a CD to install drivers on it. I am surprised there was NO CD with s/w with the phone and adapter. The online download from Motorola, drivers are NOT that good.
It recognizes the phone, but I can't download anything like pictures with s/w like BitPim.
Does anyone know before I go back to Verizon whether there should have been a CD with drivers to install. I have both XP and VISTA and there are no standard drivers. it seems like the CD with driver install should have come with the phone when I bought it ???
