Default Bartery life.... how is it?

I have the g2 and the battery life is great. Blows my old vibrant off the planet.

THinking of getting the MT4G due to radio issues on the G2.

How is the call quality and battery life on the MT4G?

DONATE TO ME
You should probably check out the other thread here in this section.

I came from the G2 as well with data and signal problems and floppy hinges. The battery is not as good as the G2 but not bad. I'm still waiting on my OTA update that is supposed to help the battery and some other issues.

I don't regret the change to MT4G

Even though the G2 has a smaller battery, the G2 will have better battery life because the CPU is clocked at 800 Mhz as opposed to the 1000 Mhz of the MT4G.

I am seeing remarkably bad battery life. I am coming from the MyTouch 3G and that device lasted longer then the 4g.

Every six hours the device needs a charge.

I talked for 17 Mins and used it lightly this morning. Unplugged at 7:30 AM back on the charger at 1:30 PM. This has been the same way since I got the phone. I have also swapped the battery for a new one as well and got the same results. I cannot imagine that it matters but this is the purple device.

Perhaps I have a defective phone? Is that possible / likely?

I did condition it, both batteries in fact were conditioned and showed the same issues.
