Lol. Actually I'm pretty sure the screen would have been on multiple times during that period, just not for extended periods of time. Perhaps they just didn't warrant an entire pixel?

[QUOTE=jayesh;14526445]None. I was snoozing. The handset had been taken off the charger, email account configured and i had taken a call. Fell asleep after that. Screen on time was 78 percent. (Only apps open were a gmail one, 3 browser windows and titanium)[/QUOTE

juice defender doubled my batt life. i also froze some sammy apps with titanium.

have gone from 12 hours of batt life, (which i could live with, that pretty much what my n900 did) to nearly 2 days with moderate usage..

I recently forgot to charge overnight, and still had >40% battery left after around 36 hours of moderate use.

This is with auto screen brightness, WiFi always on, no syncing except for gmail/contacts/calendar (With a fairly high degree of gmail traffic).

During that time I played Angry Birds, used GPS navigation, send numerous texts, emails, and phone calls. Recorded about 10 minutes of 720p video, took a bunch of photos, and browsed the web periodically.

Wow... I would love to have that battery life...

Is it true that after some time of use of the phone the battery improves a bit? (I read it somewhere, but I don't remember where nor if they mention what was the reason for that)

Planning to do that today. Got just a couple of days left on return policy. If not.. well i am stuck. I love the phone. I want it to work... but 5-7 hours is just nonsense. I hope 2.34 ships soon and sorts out the mysterious drain.

Yep KE2 has much better battery life than KE7. For me anyway. I can get a full day's use out of one charge with moderate use and screen brightness set to 50%.

I have also frozen all the bloat. In idle with email set to push the phone uses about 2% an hour. Which is not bad in my books.

The Android OS bug is worse on KE7...
