battery charging strategy

gian — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 09:14:50 GMT

hello All,

my Go cannot make it to 24h, so while the battery still has some juice when I go to bed, in the morning it's dead, and it takes 2.5hrs to get afull charge.

This is very annoying if you have to rush out and don't have time or means to charge.

Should I leave it on charge all night?

thanks for reading,

-Gian

On the link below you can find a bunch of tips of how to increase the capacity of the battery in your phone. It's also wise to make it a habit to charge the phone when going to bed of course.

Hi gian,

I also face the same problem of the battery not lasting more than 15hrs with moderate usage(1hr 2G calling, 1 hr of WhatsApping, 1 hr of web browsing and a little bit of gaming.) I installed the 2x battery extender app from PlayStore and have been using it since the past 3 days and my battery life has increased by about 15-20% which is decent. So, now I get about 18hrs of battery life. Though this is not a significant improvement but its still "something is better than nothing". Actually, the primary battery hogger in your phone is your Display. Anytime, if you go to Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage, you can confirm this. So, no matter how much you reduce using all the other things, if your screen is on for a longer duration, your battery WILL drain. Reducing the screen brightness also does not help much more than a % or two. So, I normally do screen heavy usage on my phone when I have access to my charger and it is connected to the phone. May be, you can also use this as "strategy" to prolong battery life.
