Battery life question

---

Hi all,

I'm coming back to Android from WP7, and while WP7 is nice, it couldn't do all of what I wanted it to do. I picked up my Photon and was playing with it today, and could barely get around 7 hours of battery on it today before it died. Turns out my sync settings were -way- overkill and I played with it. Now, I've let it charged and have had it sitting screen off with maybe 5 texts and installing the apk for the screenshot app. Otherwise, screen's been off just sitting there. Does my awake time seem really long? If so, how on earth do I get it down? A lot of my syncs are turned down and I run very few updater widgets.

Appreciate any advice here!

Have you tired changing the battery mode in the Battery and data manager?

Yeah, I set it to max power savings.

Sorry for the double post. I managed to tweak it a bit and got some better life out of it, but it still seems as if my awake time is way too high. Is the time at the bottom of the graph awake time or just the last time the graph updated?

I was in a 4G city today and used it barely, to get internet instead of fighting 3G (was at Heinz Field, lots of people so it took a while to connect). I also took a few pictures/sent some texts and a bit of Facebook, nothing too extensive. 4G was on for a total of maybe 5-10 minutes. This battery life isn't bad, but I feel like it could be much better if I can smack the awake time down. Also - what does the cellular bar mean? How do I interpret that?

Would appreciate any advice. I'm running the leaked maintenance release but it was like this even before so I don't believe this is the issue. I assume I'm going to have to reset it, but I figured I should ask before doing so... I'm not running any high-updated widgets/apps and I tuned everything down in Android settings so I have no idea what's wrong.
