1295326 2012-08-18 04:44:00 Hi, Any members with one of these, what sort of hours are you getting between battery charges, in general use.? BobM (1138)
1295327 2012-08-18 04:50:00 I usually get two-three days out of mine.thatis between the hours of 4pm-11pm weekdays. Pick it up put it down usage. plod (107)
1295328 2012-08-18 05:43:00 Depends what you are doing in general use it will last a day or so. I expect that as the battery gets older recharging will become necessary after a shorter and shorter time. I do not believe they have been on the market long enough for anyone to know just how long it will be before it is no longer practical to use it. CliveM (6007)
1295329 2012-08-18 08:02:00 Close all your "open" apps every night, saves battery heaps! If you don't know how, get back on here and I'll tell you.

Double press the home button. A list of apps will pop up at the bottom. Long press one, they should all start jiggling around with a little '-' next to each one. Pressing the minus will cause the app to disappear from that list. Once done, press the home button again, they will stop jiggling. Press the home button again and you're back to the home screen.

That list is a list of all running (open) apps. By pressing the minus you are closing that app.
