I've just recently changed my mobile to this samsung and, whereas the sony ericsson battery life was brilliant, this one needs charged daily. Initially, I was online, so I could understand it. Last few days, I have been going online maybe once/twice daily and it still needs put on charge. A lot of time is used up by the phone being idle, so it says.
Anyone else got any info on their experience with the battery life of this mobile?
Thanks.

90% of smart phones need charged every day, just the nature of the beast unfortunately, You can do small things like put in airplane mode in no signal areas and turn of push etc but other than that not alot you can do, just get used to charging every night. How do you find the Ace out of interest?

Have the same phone here, a few things to note ......

Before you set it aside on standby:

- Press and hold you home button after using all the apps, close active programs and clear the ram. It will clear any webpages you have open but save on battery a bit.

- Hold your power button, then a menu pops up, select toggle data network. Toggles between 2G and 3G. Saves a lot of battery power. However note that apps like the ebay one, wont auto update while 3G is switched off.

- Pull down your notification bar and make sure your gps and bluetooth is switched off when not in use.




PS: Dont set your phone down, or roam about too much with the wi-fi on. A known fault with the ace is itself turning off if the wifi is left on all the time.




Doing all that, I can stretch the battery time from under 24 hours to just under three days, two if im on the phone a lot.
