[Q] Bell Atrix - battery life

[perry_henis]

Hi all,

Just curious if any Bell users are experiencing the same battery performance as I am.

My phone is complete stock. The only change I've made is using launcher pro.

I leave for work on a full charge at 7am and by 5pm, I'm down to 30% after light to moderate use. By this I mean, sending 20-30 txt msgs, checking my email and twitter half a dozen times.

It seems like poor performance to me.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

your battery is bad because you have emails, calendar, weather, and news constantly syncing throughout the day. theres so many battery threads, do a search and and check out the developer forums and you will find out what you can do.

Try changing your browser settings on the phone to load plug-ins "on demand". This made a significant improvement for me. I went from 20-30% by 5pm to having 70+% by 5pm. I'm on day 2 of light useage and still at 50% (24+ hours so far)

If that doesn't fix it, charge that beast to full, unplug it, and do a factory reset. Then let it drain till she powers off.

Do a full charge (8-10 hrs) up and full drain (use phone till it shuts off by itself) a couple of times and you should get amazing battery life. When doing the charging turn your phone off and just plug in the wall charger.

When the battery has finished charging do a factory reset once (don't need to do it every time you cycle battery).

I didn't do this initially and my phone had like maybe 8-9 hrs of battery life on the very first charge. After I did a couple of full cycles my phone would last me almost 2 days with moderate use. I have the Bell version of the phone as well.
