[Q] G2X Battery Life

---

Loving my G2X, batt life isnt as good as my N1. I did let it drain completley till phone shut off on its own , then factory reset the phone and let it charged completley. That helped out alot but still batt life aint N1'ish. Could it be because of dual core or and will gingerbread update help out batt life. (This is my 1st post)

cant expect the battery life to be identical to another phone. battery life may or may not get battery in future updates.

So far so good with my battery. definitely better battery life than my Nexus 1.

YAY! Another battery life thread!!! I've been missing them.

It's a great phone.. I hope you enjoy it.

I didn't factory reset, but I rooted, backed it up (key step!) , then got rid of a lot of the bloatware. Namely car home that always had a service and a lot of other unused default apps. Today my battery has been a champ. Normal use, occasional browsing, and 30 minutes of Listen predownloaded podcast on the way to work. I'm at 79% now after 5 hours off charge.

I did battery calibration too, but not sure ill see its affect until after I do a full discharge cycle.

If you're interested, just search g2x root then g2x bloatware.

You dont need to discharge your battery if you use the battery calibration app or delete battery stats in clockworkrecovery. Draining the battery unnecessarily like that is bad for the battery. That's why the two options I just named were made.
