Battery

---

I know im a little early with a discussion of the battery life.

But im looking at switching over from an EVO 4g, which has pretty terrible battery life.

I was just curious hows the battery life?


FF29

its awesome. I charged up yesterday and played with it off charger and when i woke up to take the screenies it was at 81% i think

It's better than the EVO but it's still a super thin Android device with a huge screen. It's not going to get you through 3 days without charging.

True but you might be able to beat the crap out of it all day then charge at night

Picked it up at 10am at store with 50% or so battery life banged on it hard for 5 hours 5% left.
I'm thinking I can get a good full day + of heavy use before charge is needed.
When root becomes reality custom rom will make it even better.

Bottom line,
Amazing battery life you wont be disappointed.

This ^..10chars

Yeah, I am fully modded out on my Evo, but I have that beautiful 2 year upgrade. Should I get this or wait until the iPhone 5 comes out?

Do you guys keep data on for notifications? Do you use a task killer? Do live wallpapers work buttery smooth and not slow down the OS? These are HUGE factors for me that I don't want to deal with on my next device.

Please give an honest opinion.



Oh, and is there an "unknown sources" button to install apps from the SD card?

You're in the epic touch forum, so of course answers are going to be biased. Me personally, I'm waiting for the iPhone...

See, I really don't like the whole money hungry apple. If people are getting good battery life, and an overall good experience, then I want this phone. I have a screen that is messed up, and I love the Galaxy line.
