Guest ptwilliams Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 What are people's experiences with battery life so far on the Touch Dual? I have just upgraded from an E650, and have to say, im quite disappointed so far. With one days usage, after a full night of charging, one or two text messages, no calls, and no data with the phone being on standby most of the day at work, by the time I get home at 8pm, the battery is at 47%. Will this resolve itself after several charges or have I got a faulty unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you must have a faulty battery/phone as mine easily lasts 3 days with light to moderate use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deepje Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks for the power saving tips! Anyone know if a bigger capacity battery may be released for the dual? Check out mugenpower at http://www.mugenpowerbatterijen.nl/pda_htc.html . They have released a bigger battery for most other HTC devices, dual not there yet but I have great hopes. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xerxes Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Force it to use 2G only (that is, NO 3G). Can the Touch Dual last 24 hours with push email turned on (receiving 5 - 10 emails per hour)? I am thinking of getting one as a replacement for a Blackberry but it will need to be able to last at least that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest keveh Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've just got my HTC Touch Dual this week, and it the battery seems fine. I haven't been using it as my primary device as yet, but I've been checking e-mail and making a few phone calls. I'll see how it goes when I start getting full usage out of it, but up to now I've charged it once, which was 2 1/2 days ago and it's on 33% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
