What kind of phone do you have?

[Izzy]

In my opinion a phones battery is useless if it can't last 1 full day of regular use. You should be able to take off the charger in the morning and not have to worry about battery until you plug it in at night to go to sleep.

I wonder if my problem is that maybe the use of my phone isn't considered as "regular use". I usually have my 4g running all the time (except when I'm at home or at school) and I always have skype running in the background so I can receive skype messages throughout the day. Even though, I think the phone battery sucks compared to my super old go! prepaid phone I had a long time ago that would last for days on end lmfao.

Some old Samsung something or other. The kind with no touch screen. I just recently got a plan for it, I use it to call someone like once a week.

iPhone 5 and i love it. Whoever said the battery life sucked idk wtf you're talking about. This phone also charges at lightning speed. I have played with my homies s4 and find it much laggier by comparison. Like snowcrafta said, haters gonna hate.

That would depend how often you are needing to use your phone now wouldn't it?

Go a day without Skype running all the time and 4g off when you don't need it and see how much more you'll get out of your phone.

If you always leave your car on obv you'll waste more gas than if you turned it on only when you drove it

So I just installed a playstation emulator on my phone and was playing FFIX. This is probably the coolest thing I've seen all year. Played around with it for about 15 minutes and only lost 3% battery so it could potentially last for 8 hours of playing.

I have this phone, and i'm fucking proud of it. It has no internet, no fancy touch screen, no apps, no camera, but it does voice calls and text messages, which is the only thing i care for, and battery lasts two fucking weeks. Checkmate.

[Izzy]

2 weeks of calltime? Or two weeks of idle time?

[Panic4Me]

For years I was using the Juke from Verizon. I could talk/text, take pictures (with a shitty camera), and use the phone as an mp3 player. I loved that phone because it was tiny so it was easy to hide while texting in class and it could be hidden in cleavage when I was dressed up. xD

Oddly enough, that's the same color as mine.

That phone finally died (4 years later) when I sat it down in a ring of water left by a cup... >_< I bought a straight talk smart phone from Walmart (Huawei Ascend 2) and was using that until this month.

I can't tell you how many times I dropped this on the concrete and it never broke. I dropped it once on the rug in the bathroom and cracked the screen....

A friend offered to add me onto her plan (Sprint) for the same amount per month that I was paying for the 30 day cards to have unlimited everything. I got a used (though it doesn't show) Galaxy S2 with a case for $100. I'm so in love with this phone. I use it for texting, Snapchat, Facebook, a calculator (when I count money at work), Pandora, a flashlight, games, etc. They seriously make phones do everything these days. o_o I feel so spoiled.

Pretty much like Moll:
I do have a camera on it, but it doesnt upload onto the computer. Just text and calls. I'm pretty much a loner, and only talk/text my bf daily. What's the point in paying $70+ per month to just talk to one person? Dumb. (Though i really would like an "Up to date" phone - but alas, itd be pointless).

2 weeks of idle time, but that would only be twice the battery of a powerful smartphone which can get a week of idletime.

I used to think that way. Then I bought an iPhone 5.

[Sgt. Traveler]

Nokia C2-01 and Lenovo K860. K860 only if I want to browse on the Internet on the go, otherwise my main is C2-01.

I need to replace C2's battery, though, its life is getting short.

Still a candybar phone, nonetheless, though. They're awesome.

I just got the Nexus 5 and it's really good so far.

my One S died not long after my last post here rofl. it was a trooper though.

im currently using the LG G2 and god damn if it isnt the best phone i ever used. sure it gets shit for a lot of stuff(bloatware like wow) but other than that the phone is super. ive gotten use to the buttons on the back and i actually prefer them there considering my giant ass hands.
