Yeah with my SE Arc I can only last for 25hrs of moderate usage. . . Gotta hate that battery life. . . LOL

Yea...my Droid X1 lasted 29 hours one time with me doing a battery life tests and using different things for at least 1/2 an hour to an hour.

My RAZR lasted 16 hours so far from yesterday. And it wasnt even set up yet for optimal battery life until I went to bed last night.

Yea...Android needs to hurry up and fix that 4 year battery bug...

:-/

Oh I see the problem, some ppl think its STILL 2008. I know its hard to believe but Android has gotten better since then. And since its so many choices you HAVE to do research to find out whats what with these phones.

Most high end Android phone from last year have decent battery life. Most high end Motorola Android phones have great battery life.

Conspiracy theory time?

Which is the simpler explanation, that you're just one of the lucky ones or that there's a massive troll conspiracy to discredit the iPhone?

No sniggly. We know how android fanboys like you are. You guys are shameless in making up stories and other stuff.

All I am saying is, if the sources of this over the top battery life issue is taken from blogsites, I am doubtful of its credibility.

Geminis word of the day "shameless" extend that vocabulary :)

But when stories praising Apple products comes from blog sites...its ok then huh...

How about the Antenna issue for the iPhone 4 that both Consumer Reports and Anandtech reported on in extreme detail? But many folks dismissed those 2 sites.

Let us know which sites you feel are credible.

Im not saying its not happening but i just dont believe the magnitude of people saying its happening to them. I suppose i could count myself lucky since its not happening to anyone in my family with one but even at my job we have had only two people come in and even mention that they were having battery issues and once we turned off the time zone setting they let us know it had gotten better. i guess only time will tell. Oh and as for conspiracy theories i wouldnt put it past certain people when it comes to love of a product. thats exactly whats going on right now over at meta-critic over the new CoD and BF3 releases.

And iFans would NEVER do such a thing. Yeah right.

@droid. Based on what I've been seeing. No. Iphone users dont play that game that android fanboys do. We don't need to go around badmouthing android devices, because there are already enough articles and reviews out there that would cover android's incompetence :)

so.. did Taco take over your account after he got banned. Either you have always been this much of a troll and we never noticed because taco was a bigger one, or you have really stepped up your game in his absence. Maybe you didnt read the memo that PA is cracking down on unnecessary trolling and flaming.

Well for an android fanboy like you, idevices will always fail, even when the facts show that theyre all successful :)

42. Sniggly posted on 11 Nov 2011, 13:06 5 0

So what happens if that official report comes out? What motivation would we have to go around posting lies about phones we don't own?

44. 530gemini posted on 11 Nov 2011, 13:13 0 5

Thats the thing sniggly. Theres no official report of any sort that shows a significant number of iphone users affected by this battery life issue. I am an iphone user, and I would be the first one on here to confirm this battery life issue on here if it exists on my phone.

60. Droid_X_Doug posted on 11 Nov 2011, 14:00 4 0

So, Apple just releases iOS updates to fix phantom problems? (Confused)

@droid. I did not rule out the battery life issue. I only said that the issue's level of SIGNIFICANCE was never shown officially.

Issues dont have to effect everyone for it to be an issue.

Remember how many ppl that bought iPhone 4S? Remember its a huge number that many iFans like to throw out there.

Lets say out of 2 million iPhone 4S users 1,000 are having problems. Thats enough for me to say its an issue but it isnt everyone. Thats a drop in the hat to 2 million users tho.

It doesnt have to effect everyone to be an issue.

Well it is obviously sniggly, he must have a vendetta against you

69. 530gemini posted on 11 Nov 2011, 15:17 0 3

@jake. Not against me, but Apple. As I have said before, you have to realize that android fanboys used to be symbian lovers. And we all know what the Apple's iphone did to symbian smartphones. Symbian lovers were defeated, and they will adopt touchscreen optimized phones competing with iOS, like android and winmo just to fight Apple.

80. jackhammeR posted on 11 Nov 2011, 16:54 3 0

Ex Symbian lovers android fanboys? Well, that\'s a news!
And your precious applefans used what before 2007? calculator to make a call?

"Android fanboys used to be Symbian lovers"

Wow....seeing that some Android fanboys probably dont even know what a Symbain is...lol

Since you like classifying me as a fanboy....how about I came from Win Mo..although I'm not a fanboy. I just dont agree with everything thats Apple related and recognize cons Apple products have, like any product.

And yea...what did the Apple fanboys used before the iPhone?? lol.

You are too funny...in a sad kind of way..

then you can't get the biggest battery possible for your form factor. look at the droid razr...same philosophy. you can get more battery and better form factor if its not replaceable. the macbook pros get close to 10 hours battery life because of this(along with a very power conscious Mac OS). so i don't think apple will change this, and i for one am glad for it

79. Evil_SaNz posted on 11 Nov 2011, 16:52 0 0

my macbook pro's battery lasted 3h if watching streams. Dunno from where does this legend of 10h battery come from...probably there's a huge power drain difference between i5 and i7 - I don't know. Talking about my experience and wondering what kind of miracles can other users do. Also installed an app that forces off the nvidia video card in case apple's automatic switch failed...

@bullwank. I'm an iphone user. And if I were you, I'd return that iphone or have it exchanged instead of whining on here. Makes me wonder if you really have an iphone :)

98. bullwank posted on 12 Nov 2011, 18:40 2 0

@530gemini. I can't return it because I'm not from the U.S. -didn't you read my post? I ordered it from one of the online retailers here in the Philippines (The iPhone 4S is still not available here, I think it will be available from Globe in 2012).

If you weren't such a rabid fan boy you wouldn't take things personally just because I mentioned a problem with the phone I bought.

Hell, nothings perfect, if it were, I wouldn't be buying too many damn phones in the first place.

Never get an iphone in its first production....or XBOX for that matter.

Shhh!! Replying to or acknowledging gemini is bad for ones health. Trust me....I have a headache already...

112. jroc74 posted on 13 Nov 2011, 08:55 2 0

Pretty much sums up some of the the more rabid iFans. Its wild, my girlfriend wanted an iPhone. If she woulda got one I woulda pointed her to the 3GS last year. Now...if she wants one this year I will again point her to the 3GS, at least until this issue can be solved and I need to see fi the iPhone 4S STILL have the antenna issue.

But let gemini tell it and I'm an Android fanboy.. some ppl, I tel ya...

But...see loves my Droid X1 and is now lusting after my RAZR. She wants a RAZR bad now.....maybe I can use this to my advantage...heh, heh, heh...LOL!!!

She's simple to impress tho. I showed her Motocast and she rolled her eyes at me...lol. She doesnt know there are similar apps on the Market that might can do the same thing. Or Motocast or Zumocast can be used on other Android phones
