How to increase battery life on the Galaxy S

[waxer]

well, I already had theinternet turn off one, but I downloaded the task killer and I had like 12 programs running in the background.. But neither of them had access to internet. We'll see how it turns out

No, it helped a bit only.. As soon as sweden put out batteries for this device I will buy one.... It is slightly improved... Its 60 percent 1.5 hour. I'm mad

may I ask what kind of things youre using on your phone?

settings-about phone-battery use
going here will tell you where all of your battery is going, id suggest checking here periodically to track what's draining your battery the most

"the display 64% (i'm using the darkest settings), battery standby 14%, no using telephone or whatever 8% (have it on swedish.. Inactive) aldigo ebook 4% spotify 2% internet 2% voice calls 2%....

I just feel that my battery is much crapier than others. I heard of some guys who has been able to use it for 2 days without charging, and yet they are using it a lot... ;/, if i use mine for 5 hours FULLY use, it dies.. :/ standbye is a bit better, but i still think my batteri is a little mysterious?

edit: I've been using the task killer since last night when i downloaded it, and i'm only using wifi atm. I close programs down in the settings/program/handle programs?

64% on display? Have you got live wallpaper on?

Well, I used it for the first day, but then i removed it..

I noticed that the phone itself changed the light to be little more strong.. How come?, I got the powersave widget, and it's put to the lowest light. But sometimes I notice that it has changed with 1 click. And in the setting I have automatic adjustment Off.. And after a while it was moved a bit to the right. woot?

wow good I'm glad its not just me, my display keeps going from max to
lower randomly, and esp. if I use the default web browser, I think its a bug..

and also sadly 5 hours is more than I'm getting..i mean my settings are all on max but I only get like 3.. I use alot of internet tho, do you?
is really like to hear from these ppl who are saying they get 2 days of heavy use'..

I mentioned in your other thread about the browser Soraxd - it has its own brightness setting independent of everything else. Probably whats causing your worries there?

I too have a crappy battery, i have to charge it every day. Spoke to a support person at Samsung and he suggested trying another SIMcard. I don't know how that would help but it's worth a try.

Well, It's a big thread about this phone on flashbang (a swedish forum), and some people there told me that they had their battery running for atleast 10 hours heavy use.. :@, mine is a little better now since i switched internet off, lowest brightness, app killer... But still, I bought an expensive phone with many functions, and what are we doing? We are removing those functions to get better battery time.. We could just go buy ourselves a nokia 3310 soon.

I can't wait until I will be able to buy a new battery in sweden.. Then I can just change battery when my battery gets empty.
