roscoe1129 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Due to the wifes new job we are now with sprint and we both got the motorola photon and we love it so far! Pros: super fast, 4g, dual processors, huge screen, 8mp camera/ hd camcorder cons: eats battery pretty darn fast, personal preference: no full sliding keyboard all touchbut thats just me having a slider for the last 3 yrs Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer Scientia est Vox "In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!

Hotdog Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 cons: eats battery pretty darn fast, Phones are getting so good now days you dont need anything else. As far as battery life goes. If your not using GPS or wifi turn it off will extend your battery life from 8 hours to maybe a couple of days.

Hotdog Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Mine would barely make it through my shift at work with normal use. I messed with it enough now that I figured out the two main culprits that suck the energy out of the phone is GPS and Wifi. GPS I dont use a whole lot unless I am going somewhere I have never been so I turned it off. Wifi I turned it off because the only time I would use it on a normal basis would be at home and if I am home I would rather view my 24" screen so I turned it off. After turning thoes two off my phone will last almost two days now. That includes doing everything I was doing before when the phone only lasted 8 hours. One other thing that can help is turning down the screen brightness a couple notches. with 4g network you dont need the wifi anyway.. 4g is like 15mb/s down and would be faster then the free wifi you would get anywhere anyway.

roscoe1129 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Wifi and gps is off, hate swype, 99% of apps on autoend, screen is on autobright... might take that off though ... but like i said ive barely put it down since sat morning so i shall see how it does today screw that pos evo 3d... that thing is a toy and the 3dphone is hokey at best imo. Plus all my friends are high up sprint employees and so far i havent heard anything special about that phone...

Happened on my droid and my dad's droid X. That can be resolved easily go into settings > apps > manage apps > Then clear the cache on all ur apps... kinda like clearing teh cookies in ur browser Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer Scientia est Vox "In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!
