Battery Update - I'm on day three and still have 20% charge - Treo Forum

gticlay · 01-03-2007, 04:01 PM

I've used internet, phone, SMS, etc... The phone was on all day (8:30am to 11:00pm) yesterday and has been on for most of today. I'm still at 42%. This is *very strange* as the charge prior to this only lasted less than a day. Hmmmmmm.

Well keep it up! We'll expect a full report of all of your daily activity so that we may copy it and have longer lasting charges too!

Kidding!

Glad it's working out for you, and if you can figure out what you've done please let us all know!!!

I've done a ton of messaging (about 5-10 a day is a lot for me

) Plenty of regular talking, some web surfing, etc. I don't really understand it. Hmmmmm. I sure hope that this thing is finally broken in and maybe it'll last even longer??? I'm torn - should I charge it now or just let it go to 3% like I normally do?

I've merged your two threads gticlay as they relate to the same thing

Apparantly, on some charges it lasts for days, while on other charges, you can't get through one day. So don't be surprised if at your next charge it all goes downhill again. There must be *something* that irregularly drains the battery. I'm afraid its a hardware thing, so future software updates might not bear solutions.
