cause if it's 100% then no matter when your screen is off your phone is still working. My battery life extended ALOT after I started using handcent and completely disabled all the built in texting.
But yeah hopefully they'll fix this issue cause I don't like having to monitor stuff like that.
so when I turned off gps/wifi/bluetooth/ always on data/ and built in texing... my battery life is great now. I don't mind the battery draining if I'm the one draining it... but when I'm not using my phone I want my battery doing ok
I recommend installing the battery graph from the market. It's great to check up on the battery usage, like I was able to tell the best way to charge my phone Car Charger > Wall outlet > Usb. and you can see what programs drain the battery quicker, definitely a cool application to have.
thanks for the info. I'm sure this will benefit me and other members that has a hero
