Just a little poll about the battery in the MDA/XDA2. I used to have a XDA which gave me at least 3 days of life. Now with my MDA I dropped back to one day.

Well, my MDA I battery will last just about one day with remark that "to avoid a possible lost of data you should charge the battery". At the beginning the battery was lasting about three days. I am making daily phone calls for about 1 hour. :x
Well my T-Mobile (XDA1) really had poor battery life under Pocket PC 2002 but got better after upgraging to WM2003. Even with
that a day is still about the best it gets.
HTH
Battery Life
I get 24 hrs out of mine if I use it with bluetooth, make about 5 short calls and use the callendar alot to arrange meetings.
Jeff
only for phone ... around 2-3 days with low calling use
with apps/calendar/email/gprs - a day with half an hour call
with gps around 3-4 hours with no calls
Decebal
damn :\ xda 2 battery life seems extreamly crap :\ i get like 3 days out of my XDA 1 and that playing games on it all the while and about 20min of calls per day
My battery does not do anything. Not a thing. It is dead.
This happened when I tried upgrading RSU. Not it is not charged any more.
My phone gets very warm when charging and the battery will fluctuate on how long it lasts through out the day. Today it only lasted for maybe four hours before it told me that it was low on power. Anybody have any suggestions if this might be a battery issue or charger or even the phone? Thanks in advance for any help.
Mine does the same thing, its kind of annoying. I changed the ROM, I cant decide if it is better
or not still.
I keep getting pushed away from WM I tell ya.
I have mine with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned off and in a normal usage the battery lasts around 2 days
i have had my polaris for three days now and I have to charge it at least once a day. it does not seem to get hot while charging but I am "playing" with it a lot and I do have wifi ad bluetooth on all the time.

I can confirm this. Even with a lot of wifi/phone/gps usage it always gets me through at least one day.
I usually have 3G turned off since I have a data connection open all day (Exchange push mail). Not using BT or Wifi regularly, can almost squeeze out 2 days from it.
YMMV, in fact everyone's does. One person's heavy usage is what someone else would consider light. So take it with a grain of salt.
so my battery life id say is average it may go down about 5 pct an hour with average use as in just texting or messing with it but no calls or internet.
when data gets turned on i often lose about 7 percent in 10 minutes.
im on 3G so obviously some drain is expected but this is absurd and didn't happen in the past.
any ideas?
or where have people found the best deals for batteries maybe i just need a new one
thats not obserd thats normal lol and ur lucky if im txting like all the time my battery may last maybe 3 hours lol
You might want to consider changing your radio version.
Out of intrest how old is your touch pro? I've had mine 18 months and the battery life over the past month or so has been degrading rapidly. I find that if i play a game then i get about 30 minutes battery life and web browsing kills the battery too in 2 hours. expansys or handtec should have replacement batteries available.
i just updated rom and radio and hasnt been a noticeable change.
i got it the day before it was released on att back in november so about 13 months now
yea i know what u mean i cant even get 3g to turn off and there is no 3g in my area only max edge if i am lucky

do you know how to get 3g to show up in the comm manager but it wont turn off? or need help with that in general
I know it has only been out for a little more than a day, but curious on what sort of battery life people are seeing on the Skyrocket.
Thanks
Just got mine about an hour ago so I will report back, what I can say that LTE is amazing.
I had it since yesterday... however.. I had a wakelock issue.. so mine never went to deep sleep till I found the culprit..
but so far so good. it's very similar to the OGSGS2 (I owned for 28 days)

Not just on LTE. I'm constantly getting 7-10 mbps on hspa+. Never ever seen that speed on any of the so call 4g phones on at&t till now. I did a speed test at 3 in the after noon where I usually was getting 1.5 - 3.0 on my ogsg2.

They are reporting a full day use with no problems.
"The battery is larger than the one on the SGSII by a good margin, the better to supply that power-hungry LTE radio. Though most of the time I was on HSPA+, the phone lasted all day and through an idle night with 30% battery remaining, a solid showing."
Another review: http://www.phonedog.com/2011/11/07/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-first-impressions/
"Skyrocket brings a rather large 1,850 mAh battery to the table, and it shows. If you're a road warrior or someone who's away from an outlet for an extended period of time, this may be the device for you. With moderate use including some calling, text messaging, browsing the web, downloading apps, and running Quadrant Standard tests, I was able to make it through the day and well into the evening before a recharge was needed. On a related note, I've chided Samsung devices in the past for taking too long to charge, and that seems to have been improved upon. "
(woot 100th post)
have to say it has Great Battery life.....probably the best on a phone that i have had so far. again its still new. but i get a full day of use and still have 30-40 percent done by the time i hit the pillow.
im impressed especially since its an LTE phone and everyone kept yelling----IT WILL BE A BATTERY HOG.
nope
my wakelock problem was with FriendCaster Pro. After stopping the app a few times it release wakelock and it's properly going to deep sleep
As for battery. I finally got a "full" day of use. from 10am to 11pm I have about 19% left. That included GPS use for about 15mins, watched a movie on NetFlix (A Knight's Tale) and about an hour worth of 3-way calling and some texting.
I have Background and Auto Sync on with K9 email polling every hour for one of my POP3 + and 2 IMAP account is pushed.
Polling calendar using Calengoo every 3 hours
Honeslty no issues at all. I use my phone for txt calls web all day for work had no issues at all. I don't have Lte in my area but occasionally travel to areas that do. No pixel issues either, yea its bigger but nothing noticeable.

I wish I could say the same. 12 hours later my phone is down to 10% from full charge.
Guess I will pay AT&T a visit and see if they would replace the battery for me.
today... i've been on battery for 13 hours, 1.5 hours with the screen on, mainly surfing around using LTE, as well some texting. also downloaded a few apps.
37% remaining.
i think that's pretty good.
I've been unplugged for a little over 18 hours as of now, (about 7 of that was idle while I was asleep) and I am at 34% right now. I've used the phone quite a bit today and I would say that battery life seems to be about the same as the original GSII.
Yea mine is no different from the i777 s2. I did however root it n disable some junk. I'm sure that had something to do wit it.

Yes quite respectable, granted my iPhone runs forever on a charge but it's pretty good. Also I had read that the phone will turn off the LTE radio if it's not in a LTE area, opposed to other networks.
Hope these skyrocket threads can be moved to their correct destinations...

can u post some shots of battery use I'm getting only about 6hrs at most changed battery already think it might b the phone want to go show att rep so I can replace phone with no restocking fee
This is from my first day with the phone, you can see it was idle for the first 7 or so hours while I was asleep, then what I would consider pretty heavy use, being my first day with the phone.
This is what mine looks like after 2 hrs
why do I think my screen is at 51 how high is your brightness? Just figured out that automatic screen brightness is set to certain brightness turned down maybe will help me get more battery life

Sounds about right. Maybe a little on the high side but we don't know what happened throughout the entire time.

Then seems like there's not much else really to consider asides from environment conditions. (Ie. Screen brightness, signal strength, etc.)
About 8 9 hours but I'm rooted and I did some optimizations. With heavy game (pugb max details) about 3-3 1/2.
Around 2 to 10 hours.
Sometimes I just listen to podcasts and music, and not using the screen at all. Those days it's usually 2 days between charge.
Sometimes I use the phone more and I could be getting 6hrs on mixed lte/3g/wifi those days is mostly bad weather and is around 30 hours between charge.
Some days I'm in the hospital with nothing to do, alot of time on YouTube, Netflix on wifi, those will be around the 10 hour mark.
