What's with this battery life...?

My current setup:
3G enabled
Wifi enabled
Push disabled
Bluetooth disabled
My day started at 7.
I've made 3 phone calls that were all less than 5 minutes.
I've played games for a total of MAYBE 15 minutes (Aurora Feint and Trism).
I've checked my email twice.
I've entered two transactions into the "Day Bank" app (takes about 10 seconds).
I get a mixture of EDGE and 3G. About 50/50.
The phone has been ON a total of maybe an hour the whole day.
By 2pm I had less than (it looked like) 40% of my battery life left. Can I expect this thing to be THIS bad forever? I know apple over-states their battery life stuff ridiculously all the time, but this is beyond ridiculous. At this rate I literally can't even make it through a SINGLE day on a charge. SOMETHING has got to give here...

I have great battery life with my iPhone 3G. Here's why.
I have push Enabled, and that's about it. I only turn 3G, WiFi, and Bluetooth on when I need them. (When I'm in my car and need handsfree, when I'm out and about with no wifi readily available and need to use 3G, or when I'm at home and need to check my email, I'll turn on WiFi).
When I'm not using 3G, WiFi, or Bluetooth, I immediately turn them off.
There's no reason to have those things on if you're not regularly using them, they do consume massive amounts of power, which is why 3G wasn't included in the first generation iPhone.
Gas, electricity, and your iPhone battery all require CONSERVATION, CONSERVATION, CONSERVATION!

  • What's with the battery life on this thing?

    Okay...I've had my Mini for 18 months. Just yesterday...I charged it at work. Work day ends. I pop in the ear buds...turn it on (fully charged)...and the "low battery" message immediately flashes. I look at the battery "meter" and right before my eyes it goes from "full"...to "empty".
    Then the thing shuts off! Tried it again today...and after several repeats...I finally got the thing to play (so far two songs...we'll see).
    I can deal with the limited battery life...but the NO battery life thing...well...that's a problem.
    Anybody else have this problem?...hear about this?...is there a battery/program flaw in the Mini?

  • IPhone 5 shutting down with 20% battery life left

    My iphone 5 is turning off with 20% battery life showing. I've done all the updates. When I plug it in, battery life immediately jumps to 30% left. Any clues? It's not overheating and usually I'm just typing a text message. It's shut down twice now as I try to send a picture with the message. Thanks in advance for any help.

    This usually means that your battery gauge needs to be calibrated. Apple actually recommends doing this on a monthly basis, but the advice is buried in the battery info tiphttp://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html.
    What you need to do given your current problem: When the phone shuts off and it isn't down around 1%, connect to a charger for just a minute or 2, or wait 15 minutes, then reboot the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Continue running the battery down until it shuts off around 1%. If it goes off above that value repeat the above process until you really do get to 1% (this will rarely take more than 2 tries).
    Once it has turned off and won't restart or reboot charge it with the wall charger for 4 hours without using the phone. This should fix the problem for the moment. Going forward, about once a month run the battery all the way down and charge for 4 hours. This should prevent the problem from recurring.
    If this does not work your battery may be failing. As it's still in warrantly take it to an Apple store for repair."
    I am having the same problems with my phone and found this discussion last night and tried to follow this procedure but I could not get my phone to turn on and run down to 1%. It shut itself off from 15%-7% almost instantly. I rebooted it as recommended by others and turned it on and let it shut off until it got down to 7% then it would no longer turn on. even after sitting for a little while. I have charged my phone to full overnight with the charger that it came with and will wait to see if the problem persists. I am very frustrated with this and found out that my phone is a few days outside the 1 year warranty. If anyone has had this situation and found a fix without getting a new phone, please let me know.

  • What the is the battery life of HP's G60-635DX laptop? No specs?

    I just saw it on best buy, but there is no battery life listed, no specs on HP.com, no review on zd.net.....
    Where are the specs for this model?
    I have the G60-535dx, but I am a little disappointed with the battery life. I may want to upgrade, get a Sony, or get a 12 cell battery.

    The batery life mainly depends on the 6 cell lithium or 9 cell and 12 cell and they mainly depends on the Notebook.Some of the Notebooks are compatible and some or not compatible,. The minimum life of the battery is 1 hour and maximum is 2 hours it is all based on your useage. If you want to increase the battery life I would request you to click on the below web link:

  • LD-3W new version with improved battery life. Myth...

    I am looking to get an LD-3W and searching the net for what is available I find one or two UK vendors are offering what they describe as "New version with improved battery life".
    One showed a picture of an LD3W box with a small V2 printed on it in the same font style as the rest of the product text. Is there such a thing as a version 2 with improved battery life?
    6120c (3uk) and 6300 (Orange), LD-3W

    Hi knockknock
    Latest user guides still describe battery as BL-5C but I notice my box has Euro1 under Nokia LD-3W.
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

    Don't downgrade OS X without first erasing the drive. You cannot restore a Time Machine backup of Lion directly on top of a later version of OS X such as Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
    When you "Restore from a Time Machine Backup.", the drive will be erased for you, but yes, won't hurt to:
    Boot into Recovery (hold ⌘R on boot)
    Utility->Disk Utility->Erase Macintosh HD, then Repair Macintosh HD
    Quit Disk Utility

  • EZ100 16gb what's with this thing????

    %[ Okay, bought one of these the other day to replace my iPod 4gb nano, not that there was anything wrong with it, I just want a new player with bigger storage capacity and I went for the Mozaic EZ00 because Argos were selling it for ?69. So, I get it home, charged it up, updated it to the latest firmware and then piled on the music. This is were it seems to go so wrong!!! I'm not impressed at all with the sound quality of this thing, and I was using my expensi've in ear earphones, also the quality of photos and album art is just atrocious, and this is the killer punch...it just keeps on sticking and skipping during playback of every single track!!! I went into recovery mode, did a disc clean up, even reformatted it and again put the music on only this time it only plays the tracks fine when the unit is locked!!!! So, what's with this thing?? This is my first experience of a Creative product and I fear it may be the last, not impressed, will be taking it back to Argos. Anyone else had similar problems?

    (seasons) greetings all!
    so out of the blue I get a nano for Christmas (it's blue ;-)) and the person who bought it is in windows but new I ran mac.
    unfortunataly he did not know i needed a mac newer than my 3 year old ibook. after years of hearing my boasts of superior macs i hesitate to tell him i cannot use my new gift until i buy a new ibook/macbook... whatever.
    i don't really have a question for this post but just wanted to add my comments. what a scam that to get the latest in a music listening gadget your get sucked into the itunes 7 mandantory hence osx.3 mandantory hence your 3 year old still viable and beloved ibook is impotent.
    can't believe this may force me to buy a new laptop when there is no other reason. mac products should not have a lifetime of just a few years.
    hope everyone else can enjoy their wonderful new mac holiday gifts... i cannot

  • What wrong with this?

    I have a video that has sound, I brought it into afteraffects, made a composition and made some changes. I exported the composition (rendered it) for quick time to edit in photoshop - the video is about 7 minutes.
    Playing the video there is no sound....why?
    Bringing the video into photoshop for editing with content aware fill creates 500+ frames......is that normal?
    also whats the easiest way to move between aftereffects and photoshop in terms of editing frames? can I make changes in photoshop and watch it update in after effects?

    What wrong with this?
    Everything! Sorry, it's simply the most ill-conceived workflow I could imagine.

    Bringing the video into photoshop for editing with content aware fill creates 500+ frames......is that normal?
    Yes. All video editing in PS is limited to 500 or 1000 frames, repsectively. There is no way to extend that range. Read the PS help!
    also whats the easiest way to move between aftereffects and photoshop in terms of editing frames?
    You don't. What you have in mind won't work, anyways. Content Aware Fill only works per frame and has no temporal stabilization, so each frame will have a different pattern and the resulting animation would flicker and wobble.
    can I make changes in photoshop and watch it update in after effects?
    That's what use File --> Reload Footage for or simply close and reopen the project.

    First...Stop screaming. It's rude.
    Next...there are some minor problems with your feed. "Drum n Bass" is not a iTunes category. Stick with <itunes:category text="Music" /> remove the others.
    Not required, but recommend to add an <itunes:explicit> tag with a Y or N depending on what suits your podcast. The iTunes staff will remove your feed if it isn't tagged properly.
    MP3 audio files should have a type="audio/mpeg".
    Keep the Podcast spec handy...the categories and other info listed in the spec.
    Test your feed with http://www.feedvalidator.org it will point out problems with your feed.
    The bigger problems stem from your podcast enclosure, specifically the URL.
    The URL you have listed to the podcast mp3 apparently has changed so iTunes can't download the file. It also appears that you are using a "free download" kind of service that uses web page based downloads, which might account for why the URL keeps changing. Don't think that iTunes will be able to properly download the file.
