| 1352339 | 2013-09-02 23:37:00 | I got a wireless charging mod for mine and any time I'm home it's sitting on the charging mat, fixed my batt problems :). It's a Linpow charger off trademe if you're interested, small coil that sits under the cover and a charging mat - just a convenience but I love it. I'm a light user I think and the phone lasts me 1-2 days max on a full charge and is easy to flatten in a few hours of heavy use, charging it every night is the answer for me. |

| 1352341 | 2013-09-03 02:29:00 | Yeah basically with Smartphones these days, expect that you should charge it nightly. I'm with dugimodo, except my Nexus 4 has the Qi charging stuff built-in. It's very cool! :D |

| 1352342 | 2013-09-03 03:12:00 | Yeah, these newer devices go through power. Just got a S III mini and it absolutely has to be charged overnight even though it is used very lightly. It uses about 2% per hour even in sleep mode. | linw (53) | ||
| 1352343 | 2013-09-03 05:27:00 | Hi all, I too have just got a Samsung Mini S111-and it leaves the old flip phone for dead At the start I was barely getting 2 days,-----until I followed advisors and sic., dialled the brightness of the screen to near zero and left all the other apps such as being on line, wifi,etc etc at "off" until required- and got 8 days cellphone/text on standby 24/7. But as my eyes are not what they used to be I have reset the brightness back to about 20%, and am getting three days which is acceptable The charger takes about 2 1/2 hours to complete, but it can be left on overnight and then the phone gets used as I get dressed and so on, just by slipping it into my chest pocket It is a good investment, used as a basic cellphone ---and used frugally from then on Effie c |
