I think(NOT KNOW) why some peoples batteries die quicker then others!!!
Please tell me if I am wrong!!
With all this software on the phone the pre-installed programs dont close. So they stay open forever or untill you close them with a different program like file manager(in the task). Well if you use your camera, which uses lots of power it is reading in data from the camera while you are in other programs. It is not displaying it on the screen however hte CPU is still reading and processing it.
I did this test where if I close my app after I use them my phone will last for days, 5 is the record!! where if I leave all of them open and just jump form one to anther my battery has 10% in one day.
Can someone prove me wrong?? or is this just luck?? |

If you turn off the phone does it close all the apps? |

Yes turning your phone off does close all apps. When you start your phone it opens apps that are required to run the operating system:
Phone
Aplications
Beamer
EiksrvBackdrop - I dont know what this is thou!!
These are the minium |

@Zen_Master:
Yup, it's CommuniCam. I posted this little tidbit about 3 weeks ago, I'm glad someone else noticed.  |

I also use Handy Day to close any applications which I don't need open.
However, I also found one way to *seriously* extend the battery life is to turn the display from 'auto' to 'off', which will not use the backlit display. During the day and in room light I don't find a problem operating with no backlight, and I've already had the phone on two days and it's still on 97% on the battery.
Obviously, if you're somewhere where you can't see the display you can switch back to auto. |

When i purchaced my P800 the guy said he has had loads back due to the battery life, he said he had contacted SE and they had told him that the battery must have its conditional charge which will solve the issue and there was a problem with memory in this particular battery.
Total crap i thought but just incase i did the conditional charge and my mate who got one at same time didnt, his phone didnt last half as long as mine so he sent it back and got a new one, did the conditional charge and its now fine!!
This may just be coincidence but i dont know why he would have lied, he was simply offering advice to us and it worked.
Anyhow its a possible theory i guess :/ |

so when you get the p800 you charge it fully immediately? or do you use it until it dies then recharge? what is a conditional charge? |

Sorry yes , he said use it fully until its almost dead, and then charge it for 16 hours, it worked but maybe it was coincidence?

in the P800's usersmanual/guide, it says that you should charge it for 4 hours the first time, and that its ready for usage when the battery meter is at max (100%). I've read that you dont have to condition the Li-Polymer batteries.. but if that isn't the case, its very very bad by SE not to mention that you need to condition the battery the first time in the users manual/guide, cause many people will probably run around with bad conditioned batteries then, and not knowing why...

Li-Polymer DO NOT suffer from a memory effect, so the guy was talking rubbish.
Discharging a Li-Polymer actually does more harm than good. You should never fully discharge the P800 battery if you can avoid it.
