Poor Battery?

---

I just bought this phone for my wife (coming from a htc mytouch 4g) and her battery life is HORRIBLE (lasting a little more than half a day). She only uses it for calls, texts, and to place this game called Scramble.

Rarely uses email, no browsing, no gps, no bluetooth or wifi, no music or streaming video, maybe a couple pictures.

Is this normal for this phone? Thanks.

more than half a day sounds fine to me. I get about 17 hours with moderate use. It's probably the scramble that's killing her battery.

I had the same problem, so I rooted the phone, removed nearly every application t-mobile included or I felt I had no use for with ROM toolbox pro, used the same application to underclock the processor to 1.4GHZ, played with some of the kernal tweaks, & installed lightning launcher. I can get through an entire day without worrying about the battery dying.

When I say half a day, I mean shortly after lunchtime...

I rooted and removed most of the T-mobile apps. I've gone a day and a half with wifi, bluetooth and gps all enabled and moderate usage (texting, reading on kindle app, gmail, bluetooth paired in my car, and google maps for traffic problems).

I normally get 1.5 to 2 days per charge.
