it seems holding a battery charge all day on my Droid is a chore. however I have found some Apps to help me out I use advanced task killer and automatic task killer. I would highly recommended both of these to anyone looking to improve battery life. if anyone has any others they use and like please share

Turning off Bluetooth and WiFi when not needed, lowering brightness to about 40%, and reducing how often apps and email refresh all seem to help on my HTC Eris. Also look in setting as to what's using your battery the most.. I had savvy shopper barcode reader until I noticed how much battery it used.

Where did you buy the portable power source? And is it available for the Droid Eris?

thanks for the advise I will have to check that portable charger out. I have found some batteries online that supposedly have longer life but I don't think I will go for that because the battery sticks out of the back then my case wont fit: /

I bought a little rechargable Duracell Li-Ion battery that has a mini usb port on the side from Target for $20.

RE: android battery issues created on Jul 19, 2010 5:31:03 AM (via AndroidPIT app) Ryan Erickson i just wish they would come out with a bigger battery for my droid I think most folks would prefer a slightly larger phone with a battery that lasted a day than what we currently have. When will phone makers get this? |

I can agree that having to carefully mind the power settings on a phone is annoying, and higher capacity batteries would be a great addition to all devices. Luckily the phone I am using right now has been doing admirably in terms of battery consumption.

It took several weeks, but I just got 2 more batteries and a charger off ebay for about ten bucks. They actually look identical too the stock battery. The charger works well also.
The seller is "tuttoit" if anyone else wants to try some. I think for now this will be my solution. The battery is easy enough to replace. |
