Agree with this, task killers are a big no no on android phones. The OS is clever enough to manage its resources.

I am not so sure about that. The size and weight of the battery would play a big part. I think making a battery big enough to last 48 hours would make it too big and heavy.

You are missing the point which is the lack of development around battery technology. Red arrow was alluding to my post about the development of batteries compared with the advancement of the actual sw/hw of the phones.
If a technological leap could be made, then whoever had the best battery life would likely get the market share. ![]() Instead of just making the battery larger in size, they should be spending as much money as they do on creating new and faster processors as they do on making smaller and better batteries. Yeah there is no harm in charging it up every night, most people do. But it would just be nice to know if for whatever reason I can't charge it up that I know it's going to last more than 24 hours under use. |

Yep your right, if they could make leaps in battery technology, as they have with processor etc then it wouldnt be long before battery could last longer and be the same size if not smaller.

Presumably they take a cheap throwaway one in case of loss or damage.

Having applied a kernal update yesterday, that addressed the battery issue (amongst other things). Over the last 9hrs, I used 8% battery. The phone was in standby, with it syncing every 30mins. That in anybodies book is very good going.

Unless you want to use it as an alarm clock. Then it's like a Russian roulette.

My personal HTC Wildfire absolutely has to be charged every night. I wouldn't even trust it to keep a charge overnight. |

It seems the latest update of iOS 4.3 is causing battery drain.

One of the best ways of saving battery, I've found, is by using 2G data network until I absolutely need to use 3G. This seems to have a massive impact on battery life, and at the moment I just switch on 3G manually if I need a faster connection (eg. if I open the web browser), but I might just set up Tasker to do it automatically at soem point. The only downside is the momentary lack of signal as the phone drops the 2G connection and picks up the 3G one.
