Guest minirai Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi all, I have my GT540 for about 3 week now. Everything seems fine, update to 2.1 went smooth.. However there is one thing that I feel frustrated is my battery. It run out within 1 day no matter whatever I do with the phone. Even if I left it out overnight, it still went from 70% to 40% :P I turned off GPS, Wifi and Bluetooth all the time How much battery time you get from your GT540 ? I'm thinking that my battery is faulty :| Any other advice is appreciated :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen Carroll Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 You can try turn your brightness settings down. I had mine at 10% adn while not that bright does kind of save some battery. I always feel that even left unattended the battery drains quick. Maybe set up a profile with Tasker or SetCpu to turn off or down certain things when this is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest saeba_ryo Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 My battery lasts at least 2 days, overnight in idle it doesn't even go down 10%. I always keep the Data Connection off when I don't use it. 3G data plus some badly written app can kill your battery quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mavamaarten Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 What really helps, is Advanced Task Killer Free. Download it from the market. Set the auto-kill level to Safe, and interval to "When screen off". Also, add alarm to ignore list. Overnight, my battery only goes like 2 % off, and when surfing 1 hour on wifi, it only goes down by 20 %. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need one really, I get adequate battery life and run Trillian and facebook all day on my handset? On 1.6 it wasn't great, but I manage a day now. Android shouldn't need a task killer...just because it's in the memory doesn't mean it's using the battery as it's idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
