For eveything that has an advantage there's always d other side... this thread is meant 2 complement an ealier post on how 2 maintain battery life... tips were given such as reduction of screen illumination n others but i just realized that 3G supersede all d other factors put together.. we all know we dont need 3G all day long except for downloads... A solid EDGE in my area can browse perfectly well so that i only power my 3G when i need 2 download..... infact d worst case of battery failure is noticed when 3G n EDGE swing. so to prolong ba3 life n stop carrying charger about like u dont pay ur power bills, simply use a steady EDGE except u ave a stedy 3G n only power ur 3G when u need extra speed(download). my ba3 have never lasted dis long. Dont forget to reply d changes u noticed...

@ op, i thank God for ur life.
at least u got a brain and use it. kudos.

if na some pple na to start thread and tell us how so and so fone is too bad, poor battery blablabla

I guess that's why the talk time in 2G and 3G is always indicated by the manufacturer in the phone's specs...

I can't help but notice Etisalat and Airtel's Edge is solid almost the whole day, but MTN's Edge always goes haywire between 6:30, 7:00pm to 10:30, 11:00pm...so the ''switching to edge when not downloading'' trick fails at this point when using MTN

but this totally rock on Airtel (network that offers best deal for droids), saves gallons of juice

Well I av steady supply of power and my mtn works lyk magic...so no qualms

good for you...but I don't think you spend the entire day at home...
and like the OP wrote, we all know its not comfortable carrying chargers around...
