HTC Desire

As an iphone user one can only dream of 1.5 .

If I manually close all of the background stuff, I can get another couple of hours out of my iPhone.

By doing that on my Desire I got 2 1/2 days between charges.

Android is best left to manage it's background programmes as turning some off stops data etc. I can't for the life of me understand why they have app management solutions in the store, most actually cause more problems than they solve, only reason I can think is that people moving from a less effective OS expect to have to manage things themselves.

If you want real battery life go for a non-feature phone, some of them hold charge for weeks on standby

The biggest battery drainers on Android are not having auto-brightness on, Google backup (Froyo) and having GPS and wi-fi turned on 24/7

Not downloading the new version of google maps is a good way to save battery, it seems to keep polling the internet and gps and I can find no way to stop it (other than turning data and gps off), version 4.4 is no problem version 4.5 is useless.

Three days since I last charged the phone.

 

[Steven]

Just under four days. Not bad.

Pretty sure my phone would last that long if I had no friends and never used it.

Ho, ho.

Yes it was used and do have some people to ring/text and to ring/text me. :icon_bigg No wi-fi for two days though. :icon_wink

 

[Mawsley]

Ho, ho.

I'm here all week, Ladies & Gentlemen; available for birthdays, funerals and swimming certificate presentations. :icon_cool

To be fair my iPhone has been 3 days without a charge and still plenty of battery so I guess some of it is down to how you use it

 

[Macky]

I don't have any fwiends either

Fortunately I'm not a user of that (but I'll politely decline any such invitations though)

Good job you'd posted on this thread and quoted me though Macky, I hadn't realised I'd posted on it until I saw that.

Is there any reason I shouldn't give my dear lady one of these tomorrow?

I'm tempted to keep the HD and shovel the iPhone4 in her direction.

Mate has this at school, looks really good, loads of different settings to change, nice displays and looks brilliant! Similar to the iPhone.

How do I get podcasts on it?

Can I sync iCal or the Google calendar with it?

Menu/Accounts and Sync, add your google account to get google calendar, don't know about podcasts, never had the time to use them.

How do you live without The Archers?
