Is the Amaze batter life THAT bad?

---

Hey All,

I was just wondering if they could post some of their impressions of the Amaze's battery life. According to the engadget's review it's horrid. 5hrs of use? that can't even last half a day. Mind you, the Amaze has a bigger battery than the sensation

(google Engadget Amaze)

I currently have the Sensation and the battery life was "bearable". It was at the limit of what's acceptable for battery life. After I undervolted the cores (-62.5mV), i'm having amazing battery life (10-12 hours of usage with data/email/text/light surfing/calls). If I upgrade to the Anker battery, it's going to be sweet.

I was originally going to upgrade to the Amaze but the battery life scares me. Can anyone so a comparison between the GS2 or post some real-life usage stats of the battery? If it's really that bad, i might just have to get the other option which is the GS2.

I think its normal

the desire hd have that battery live, the sensation too....the amaze have exactly the same battery

i think its great actually..

I don't think it's any worse than any other (most recently, Sensation - like the others here).

I agree. I've had several Androids, and this one seems about average. I can burn through a full charge in 5-6 hours of heavy use, or go all day with the phone mostly on standby. Like any other Android, I charge whenever I have the opportunity. I would love to have the battery life of my BB9780.

that sounds better... engadget made it sound really really bad. I was wondering what was making the phone consume so much power. It's essentially almost the same hardware as the sensation except for a few new upgrades.

does anyone have their battery graph to share?

Usually, I take anything reported by Engadget as not reliable ...

It is very clear that if it is not an Apple product, they will find a way to criticize...

It was true with old blackberries, but if you take Torch and similar to Android or iPhone, you will notice that multitasking is killing a battery phone, as well as its capacitive screen.

Old blaberries were bearing strong battery life, as it was doing nothing in background (and in foreground ... sorry, joking).

BUT, I'm using a Desire (first gen) and waiting to upgrade to Telus Amaze. What I can say, is the ROM, by what it integrates as processes and apps running, is the culprit. I tried Cyanogenmod, then LeeDroid, and depending on the version, one was better than another... for now, last LeeDroid version is GREAT!!!

Gizmodo is far worse than Engadget about this, but Engadget has gotten noticeably skewed lately.
