Battery Life

Has anyone had a problem with the battery life? I know I've been playing with the phone often but my battery doesn't last an entire day. I have even let the battery completely die before recharging it to see if it makes a difference but it doesn't. While on the charger it says it's fully charged and as soon as I take it off the charger is says it's at 80%.

Anyone else having this problem or does anyone have a solution?

Thanks!

I've only had my Moment for a few days but I must say the battery life is significantly inadequate. I just replaced an Instinct and the battery on that phone would last two days, with no problem. With the Moment, towards the end of the 8 hour work day I am running out to the car to put on the car charger. I properly charged, discharged, charged the battery to condition it. Very disappointed in the battery life. BTW, it's 11:20AM and half dead already.

its been 5 days and i finally am not sitting on my phone for 8 straight hours while @ work but anyway today with normal use, last.fm in the am for about 20 mins, some txt'ng throught the day and then an hour phone call @ lunch, facebook updates and browsing my phone was still @ 35% @ 6pm so id say the battery life is great under NORMAL use not extensive like im sure all of have been.

i still plan to buy a second battery but the battery life is perfectly fine imho

p.s. the battery charge read 100% this a.m. for about 20 minutes but hey it did it

Samsung is getting pretty notorious for releasing buggy phones.

I think this whole battery issue came about prematurely....basically we all needed to condition our batteries and things would be fine. I still plan to purchase a second battery just because the instinct spoiled me but I think the battery in the moment is very good.

Ok, I've looked everywhere and I can't find it...where do you find what % battery you have left? 

Thanks! I also downloaded a couple battery widgets, but I can't seem to get my phone charged to 100%. Anyone else have this problem?

I was at 80% and the moment I plugged in the charger, it went to 90% but it won't charge past that.

Purchased a Moment last Tuesday.  I charged it overnite and it said 100% at 8am. By noon it was down to 50%. It died completely at 9pm...as in, it wouldn't even turn on after I had plugged it into the charger until about 10 minutes had passed. I have since downloaded some 1 click widgets for bluetooth and wifi ( I turned off GPS completely) but, why have something on a device if you can't really have it ready for you to use. Over the weekend I purchased an app called 'power manager' which is supposed to handle the turning on and off of these things based on how much charge is left, etc. I'm evaluating it now. I already notified the
Sprint agent I worked with that I may return this phone...we'll see. What I DO know is that I too had a WINMO phone and it held a charge all day no matter what I did and I never had to turn off bluetooth or wifi (HTC Touch Pro). I love the display on this phone and am getting used to Android.  I must say I was surprised that I had to 'mount' the SD card to get it to be recognized by my computer and then unmount it after I was through. I hadn't see that since my 'long ago flirtation' with Linux which I had mistakenly assumed had gotten past that.

I'm also a liittle more concerned that they have already announced that the HTC Hero will be upgraded to Android 2.0, probably in Q1 of 2010 but nothing has been said of the Moment. The main reason I chose the Moment over the 'Hero' was I figured that a 'vanilla' implementation of Android would require less programminng modification from the manufacturer.

Bottom line...for me all the 'smartphone. services and apps are great and very appealing to the 'geek' in me but for my profession I simply CANNOT be unavailable as to actual cell phone calls (my cell phone, whatever it is, is never turned off)! I have to be able to be reached 24/7.  I may yet keep it (if I purchase a couple more batteries and chargers). At this time it's  a 50-50 chance either way.
