[Q] Battery draining faster than stock

[lardo5150]

Running Syndicate and Genocide.

I noticed last night that the phone dropped from 97 to around 86 within a 20 minute period of just moving icons, etc., normal stuff.

Let it charge all night, unplugged it this morning, and it says 97 instead of 100.

Am I misssing a step? Do I need to set something, calibrate something?

I even turned down the brightness.

It is normal for the phone to vary between 100 to 97% on charge. This keeps the battery from overcharging. As for your issue of losing so much in 20 minutes with brightness down, perhaps some apps were syncing while your screen was on. Grab Memory Booster Lite and check task killer for all the apps loaded in memory and see which ones you don't really need and which ones may be running a sync. Set all syncs to manual or never. Go into applications>running services to see what else is using your battery while the display is on.

You know what, you are right, my Google Music was syncing up as well as my Work email.

I will monitor it today and tonight and see how it does. Thanks.
