"Much better for battery life than having Twitter and Facebook always running on the device."
Android has been proving that this claim is incorrect for at least a year now. Android supports true multitasking and you don't hear much about battery lifetime problems any more.
Hopefully, Apple will catch up next year with the next iPhone.
- Xuzz 16y agoActually, I heard the battery life on the EVO was pretty horrid even with 4G off, and the other devices were acceptable, but not great.
- auxbuss 16y agoI get four days out of my HTC Wildfire. That's with wireless, gps, and sync always on, 24/7. I'm syncing email every 10mins, twitter dm's and mentions every 15mins, facebook every hour, weather every 3 hours, plus gmail & google calandar whenever. I reckon that's pretty good. Admittedly, I don't spend hours on the phone each day.
- will_critchlow 16y agoI'm getting way less battery life out of my samsung galaxy than even my iphone 3g before the early software updates to improve battery life. Must I be doing something wrong? My phone rarely lasts the day. I don't think I'm that heavy a user...
- Tichy 16y agoWell do you even have a lot of background threads, or could there be another reason? Like The Galaxy S using a faster processor?
