Hi everyone,
Phone is Sensation XE.
ROM is Virtuous Insquisition 4.0.2 (using kernel that comes with the ROM).

I think i'm a moderate user. I dont surf or play games that much. I do text/chat quite a bit. However, my battery can never last a whole day.


by 7 or 8pm, i usually have to turn off Data, WiFi, GPS ect to save battery.

Can the phone last the whole day with Mugen battery? I've already purchased it. waiting for it to arrive.
Please advice,
Thanks

If you have all those apps up and running they will withoud doubt kill the battery life

The other poster are correct in that a better battery/larger capicity will provide considerable help

Are you aware that Wif uses lots of power looking for and trying to connect to wifi, so if its not connected switching this off help, also GPS is a grat battery hog and should only be on when needed

try without them on for a few recharge cycles and see :)

I recommend a quality replacement battery - try the Anker 1800 ma I get almost 48 hous of medium us - no GPS and wifi only on when I'm at home or work - it uses less power when connected unlike the GPS :)
