Default [Q] Battery Issue

Hello everybody,

I just bought my Flipout thought the design was kind of funny !

I am quite happy about it except the screen resolution (but I knew it before the purchase)

I need your help :

after a full charge I run out of battery after two hours of use (not standby), could you eventually help identify what is wrong ? is it because of the apps running in background or because the battery capacity is bad ? (or both )

The apps I am running: nimbuz, gtalk, several mail accounts, that is more or less it.

Another point, I have noticed that on heavy loads the Flipout becomes an oven, have you experienced the same ?

Many thanks for your help,

Bao

Nimbuz eats battery like there's no two hours from now.

The other half uses this phone

had the same problem

after a few hours the battery died completely.

I turned off the happenings rubbish and the facebook stuff and everything seems fine now

sadly i cant install any battery monitoring software to work out what was really causing the issue

(as i've actually turned off most stuff on the phone now apart from background syncing)

battery seems fine now


Personally i believe the problem was the whappenings widgets on the home screen and the battery conditioning

Hello

right ! I suspect the data exchanges could be the reason

we could also diminish the frequency of 'mail checking'

I was actually thinking of getting a second battery or making a usb charger with AA batteries for this, something like that, so I could use it how I want and extend battery life
