Question Owners: How long does your battery last?

How long does your Galaxy S battery lasts when APN is enabled?

Bought mine at Singtel and my Galaxy S came with a G7 battery...

my battery lasts barely a day.. I need to turn off APN so it can last longer.

I also installed Task Panel X to kill the running apps which I think is using my Data (if I didn't turn of APN).

I'm curious about these 3 apps, they always runs again even if I killed them using Task Panel
1) SNS -> Phonebook & Facebook integration, even if I disabled the auto sync and turn off Sync in the Power Control Widget.
2) My Uploads -> I'm not uploading anything..
3) com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una -> what is this?
4) Feeds and Updates -> even if I'm not using this widget.

Been useing it for a few days now and most off time got BT and wifi is on from time to time at home and work to speed things upp, and also every morning/night on my way to work play music. And use mail,sms and call for quite a bit every day, and on the night when i go to bed i got around 20-30% left. I take it off like 7 at the morning and i put it in charger at around 22-23 so should say battery is quite nice so far.

mine has great battery too.. but I don't have 3g yet :P
either way even if my internet is closed, many of the apps you mentioned still run out of nowhere.
Once we get root we'll be able to disable them via the application "Autostarts"

Unhappy battery life huh..

i listen to music.. search the web.. read pdf's.. calls.. gaming (tangram pro).. play with the interface..

all in all.. battery kinda sucks.. i always carry with me the Gata USB cable so that I can charge at work.

i travel for 1.5 - 2 hours to work and i can manage to get the battery nearly half once i reach work after using the phone (no calls).

hopefully we will see high capacity battery for the phone like 3500mAh - 3800mAh..

oh yeah, someone said that you need to drain and charge it 5 times to get the battery working at 100% capacity.. not sure though.. and haven't tried.. but will try eventually.. hehehe

sorry yes I know we have it but I wrote it wrong haha I meant once we have an easier way to root xD

I'm not comfortable rooting that way. I remember it was easier before :/ ..
