Jeno,
just ok, lets say that I left from my home around 9:00 A.M  and I was doing some research with Google (browser) and some phone calls received between 9 A.M and 4:00 PM and my phone almost ran out of batt,   well, it was in the yellow phase, so really ?  it is ok, but not great !, hopefully they will make more batts and cheap, because right now I am not willing to pay $ 50 for something that will last only 33% more, it's not worth it !

I just got my phone today and I've been like keeping the phone on a charger. I charged my phone fully at 12am its just now 2:48am and its almost on yellow. I don't know how much more of this I can take. Should I uninstall some apps? Help a brutha out!

hi there (:
i read somewhere that you could calibrate your battery so that it would last longer and be in better shape
how you do that is:
-Use your G1 until it dies
-Keep turning it back on after it dies until i will NOT turn on any longer
-Connect your charger and it let charge for 6 hours

i found that in another forum somewhere, but i dont remember where. i tried it yesterday and it worked out great! tell me how it works out for you!

is there an auto shutdown/boot option on this phone?

say schedule the phone to turn off at 12AM and turn on at 7AM

[g1_mar]

When I first got my g1 the battery would not last more than 4 hours with moderate usage even after turning almost everything off. I performed the above steps 4 times in the past week and I am now getting about 18 hours of battery life with moderate usage and I still have auto-sync, gmail sync, calendar sync, and contacts sync turned on and screen timeout is set to 2 minutes. That's more than 400% improvement! I'm going to do this a few more times and see what else I can turn on and still have good battery life.

I know, I know, Li-Ion batteries aren't supposed to need conditioning but this practice actually helps improve battery life.

[jeno]

actually your not getting better battery from the discharges all your doing is calibrating the battery gauge. li-ion battery get better the more times you charge them. this is the way li-ion technology works. they love and perform better the more you charge them then actually draining them.
