Damn battery has to be the short fall...

---

Sad to say, but my iPhone ON 3G service gets the SAME as the Nexus one ON EDGE..

The iPhone on EDGE gets about 9-10 hours of usage (as shown in usage meter calls, browsing) and about 25 hours standby..

The Nexus One gets about 5 hours on EDGE same usage.. All I do is make 2 hours worth of phone calls, and browse with brightness turned below half..

The nexus one lasts 15 hours for me and its dead (10hrs standby, 5 use) ON EDGE
The iPhone lasts the same (10hrs standby, 5 use) ON 3G, and wayyyy more on edge.. (the reason I got the nexus for att is because I need battery life, and I know edge delivers way more then 3G, and I could care less about faster browsing)

I feel the nexus one get much hotter then iphone, probably because of the snapdragon... i thought the AMOLED screen was supposed to compensate?

What do you guys think?

Did you force 2G-only mode on your Nexus One so that it doesn't constantly search for 3G bands (that aren't there)?

my battery life has been pretty weak as well. I guess its the tradeoff for the 3.7 inch screen and 1ghz CPU.

If you make the Nexus One/Android a "single-task" phone... I'm sure the battery life would last longer than the iPhone

I'd say wait a little bit longer for some of the expected ROM/kernel modifications. When I installed CM's ROMs onto my G1's, I swear the battery life virtually doubled...

Same here. The battery life on my N1 on edge is not as good as my 3GS on edge. I'm using Tmobile Edge. When using both phones on heavy useage, the N1's battery life depletes at a much quicker pace.

My battery life has been fine. Lasts me all day with pretty regular use, and I haven't changed any settings. Try doing the old trick of using the phone until it dies completely (won't even turn on) and let it charge over night, that sometimes gives a boost in battery life.

The battery life on the N1 is much better then the battery life on my G1. I have no idea if the N1 has a worse battery life then the 3GS, but it is better then the G1, in my opinion.

I used my N1 for its first full day today, pretty regular use cause I was showin it to everyone, 2 hours of Pandora and on 3G the whole time, didnt use much talk time, but it was at 15% after 10 hours

I took mine off the charger today at 8:10am and at 12:15 (16 hours later) my phone shut down. I used it heavily today.

Don't forget to leave your phone and let the battery completely drain and then recharge to calibrate the battery meter.
