How to increase battery performance?

---

Can someone post some tips to get a better battery performance?

I have my Touch 3G less then a week ago and the battery is during only 1.5 days with SMS and few more things...

Thanks.

what connections do you have turned on all day? i usually disable wireless lan and data connections when i dont need them, and that saves me some battery.
also set the backlight options so that the light fades out when your not using your Jade.

Avoid:
- WLAN (especially the high-power mode)
- Bluetooth on all the time
- High CPU load (like games, etc)
- Display (the brighter the higher the power consumtion)

I got them all turned off and disabled too the screen auto-adjust option and put the brightness at 1/3.

Now I got these times:

Standby: 40.5 h
Conversation: 0 h
Utilization: 4:39 h (most of the time with SMS)

And 1/5 of the battery. I think that isn't too much.

The battery was charged only two times.

Maybe is something wrong with your battery, I dont know. My battery lasts 3 days and I use my Touch 3G mostly for conversations.

I hope not.

It seems that the touchscreen spends too much battery while writing SMS!

Hi Blackaos
I am curious how you put the brightness at 1/3.
I remember there is no adjustment, just check or dont check "auto adjust backlight"...

Pls advise

I think I can see these options only when I've unchecked this box, the brightness with battery and external alimentation.

Jade is supposed to be the best in low power usage and lasting battery power.

This is my battery performance.
1) Normal daily calls (about 20) and SMS (about 20) - last 3.5 days without charging (still about 5% left)
2) Use GPS for about 30 mins - drains about 5% of the battery
3) Use Wi-Fi for about 60 mins - drains about 5 % of the battery.
(battery % indication using ArielBattery)

Your battery probably is one of those that fails the QA level but sneak pass the QA team. You should get a replacement.

Explain that better.
My battery runs out in 2 days.

Has there been a problem with Jade's batteries?
