anybody with a stock galaxy S. What sort of battery life are you getting?
During what I would call light usage (20-30mins internet, no gps, hourly email grab, 1x30min phone call and sending about 40texts) I'm only just getting 8-10hours of out it. When I check the battery usage, its mostly system and it is generally only out of signal for about 15minutes, so its not that.
Its the third replacement handset i've had (1st phone hung up when it felt like it, 2nd one had about a dozen hot pixels, 3rd one has one hot pixel which I can just about live with) and when it shipped to me the battery wasn't packaged, was just shoved in the end of the box. I'm assuming its a recon handset or recon/used battery hence its life is shoddy and pathetic compared to the first 2 handsets.
Heavy usage = 2hour battery life. Unreal. I replaced my old phone (HTC/Sony Xperia X1) with this samsung piece of crap after its 'light usage' battery life fell below 1.5days (originally 3) and was quoted £65+postage for a genuine new battery. GRrrrr.
