In the car and at home. Keep it plugged in or the battery will go down massively fast

Better batteries are needed

I can leave my Bionic off the charge and with moderate use it lasts for about 36hrs. I have an extended battery that will last with the same use about 60hrs.

I charge my phone about once every 4 or 5 days. I use the thing all the time too. Send and receive hundreds of texts daily. Surf the web all the time. Thing holds a charge forever it seems.

Of course I just looked at my phone and it has like 1 bar of power left......DOH!

Leaving it plugged in when it's fully charged is a great way to ruin the battery.

FYI.

Change the power configuration for your phone and you won't have as many issues.

A lot of apps are 'always on' that don't need to be. Turn them on when you need them.

Charged daily but it is more than a phone...

iphone's OS update was supposed to help with battery life

It didn't

Smart phones are smart enough to stop charging before they're full. Or so they say.

My Galaxy Nexus is a bit of a power hog, but it'll get through the day without needing any additional charges. Unless the 4G radio acts up, then it'll go into WTF I LOST MY SIGNAL!! mode and chew up the batttery in about 2 hours. Fortunately I figured out the switch for the 4G fairly quickly and just leave it off most of the time now.
