Most people have smart phones these days with loads of apps that make life easier. If you like playing games like me, then aside from useful apps such as Evernote, Whatsapp, etc., you would probably have Draw Something, Ruzzle, Tribez, SongPop, not to mention browsing the internet. All these apps are going to make a lot of demands on our phone’s battery.
I use a blackberry for my phone but I have another gadget for all my other apps. I always said I don’t want my phone to be my toy too otherwise it will always be out of battery. If you have battery issues, click here. This site has hundreds of batteries for all types of mobile phones.
My other gadget for my apps, games and browsing is a Samsung Galaxy S. It’s not a mobile phone. It’s Samsung’s version of the iPod Touch. I love it! My only issue with it is that the battery life is so short. I charge it everyday. I’m not sure if it’s because I play too much. I don’t even listen to music on it. I have an iPod Nano for my music. My daughter’s iPad, a hand-me-down from her Daddy, lasts longer than my Samsung Galaxy S. She hardly puts it down, watching her videos, reading books, playing games. I’m afraid I might have to replace my Samsung’s battery. I’m checking the wireless emporium site to look at battery options for my Samsung. I’m hopeful I’ll find a solution there.
Battery life is also my problem every time we’re on the road since I use my phone non-stop; mostly for music and instagram. Hubby recently bought a juice pack, but I’m quite worried that it might cause damage to the main battery.
I dont get the juice pack. You charge it, bring it with you to charge your phone when you can’t get to an outlet. Ours didnt work out too well.
That’s what I don’t like in Samsung also. Short battery life talaga. Although I still stick with their products coz affordable and have lots of good features.
i too have a problem with my android phone, and the battery is not changeable…with all the apps right now i have to charge my phone 2x a day to last for a whole day…scuh pain sometimes especially if I am out.
You mean the short battery life is also a problem with other Samsung models? I really like it though. It’s cheaper bec they produce the electronic things inside unlike Apple which is outsourced. Some android version apps are also free when its not for Apple.
Yes, it’s a common problem in smartphones. Why oh why? I’m interested in the Galaxy S, but if the iPad lasts longer than it does, then would an iTouch too?
When we had an iPod touch it was before the iPad and not as many apps as there is now so the battery life was fine then. Maybe now it would be shorter.
Thats the draw back with smart phones. You use them and get addicted to it minute by miunte but the battery life cant keep up.
I always feel giddy at the mention of smartphones. Going back on topic, I also have issues with the batt life of my smartphone, especially when I’m using the net or some social networking apps.
I noticed with my HTC One X, the battery life shortens once I use the wi-fi! But, if I don’t use the wi-fi, and just play games, the battery is still okay. My son said, the newer version, the One X Plus has longer battery life!
Samsung’s battery does drain fast, especially if your wifi is on and are running apps.
I actually don’t have problem with my phone’s battery since I just use it for texting and for emergency/official calls only. Hehe. I am not fond of playing games anymore because I crochet when I have free time.

Battery life will always be one of the features that smartphones must take a good look at. I wish they can expand it more.
That’s the main problem of high-end smartphones, battery life. Try the app named “Easy Battery Saver” it works for me. I only charge every other day or every day depending on use

Yeah battery life is a common problem with smartphones or even gadgets. So you just have to choose the one with the better (if not best) batter life.
My Blackberry consumes its battery like crazy. I find it annoying when a short while after charging it, it is half burned. I’ve changed it once already and my next step will have to be a new phone… I’m not in a hurry to do that though as I’m not into using tons of apps.

Today at work, my phone didn’t last the entire day and i didn’t even use it much. Haha. I am seriously considering getting an Everpurse but it’s kinda expensive.
That’s my usual problem with Samsung, the battery life. My phone’s data is always on, I do make calls and sms the whole day and at night my kids play with it..
I think there is a problem with your battery already. If you haven’t used of it for games and music, it should last for days. Better bring it back to where you purchased it.
This is also the drawback of the iPhone and iPad we have. I hope they find a way soon to give smart phones longer battery life.
that’s the problem with smartphones the battery life. My battery don’t even last a day with all the applications I’m using and browsing. I want an extra battery pero mahal din ang orig.
