Hi, As earlier noted ... quite true. Most folks that leave them on continuously get about 8 hours of use before they need recharge. If you want constant updating and connectivity that's the cost. Mine (Samsung Epic 4G) goes about 48-60 hours between charges. That is using Juice Defender (free app) and having it only check for new messages and updates to GPS and all else every 15 minutes. It goes to sleep (except phone) at night from about 1 AM to 6 AM. The phone part is fully operational all the time so no missed calls. The side advantage to this is I don't have to answer texts and such all the time, only at intervals. Yes I know that there are lots of folks that feel the need to answer immediately. I personally don't like the constant interruptions that this entails. I may be a bit old fashioned but I'll call someone before starting a back and forth text session.
