Hopefully Gingerbread helps but I doubt it'll be significant.

Phone was horrible last night as well, was at about 75% at dinner at 6pm, had to shut it off before 10pm because it was under 15%.

Just this morning, I woke up around 9, took it off the charger at 9:10. It's 9:35 and my batter is down to 89%. SMH.

The battery I ordered from Newegg should be delievered today thankfully.

I have heard you are not supposed to charge over night and to never leave it charging more than four hours.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

If I don't leave it charging over night then I'll wake up with a dead phone.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

"overcharging" your phone will eventually lead to bad battery life, but with the types of phone batteries we have nowadays it'd be pretty difficult to notice by the time you got a new phone.

No doubt. I love that so many iPhone users I know complain about how small it is after using an iPad too. The size of the EVO is just right for me.

I found my old iPhone while cleaning my room yesterday and was amazed how small it felt after a month of using the EVO 4G. Like you guys the size doesn't bother me just wish perhaps it was a little lighter.

As far as the battery, mine is solid. No where near the iPhone but nothing horrific although I have woken up in the morning to a couple 15% battery alerts.

I wonder why the EVO didn't come with themes on the phone? I noticed the my touch 4g comes with different themes.

How do you change themes? All I can change is scenes. Is that the same thing?

Do you actually have a % value? Turn it off - it makes you obsessive. The % varies depending on your usage... so you could have it drop 3% in a minute then have it stay on the next value for 20.

Yeah, I only look at the bar that's on the top of the screen. The battery in my Droid X is a beast. Much better than my Blackberry Storm was - that thing was almost dead in 12 hours.

Words with Friends now in Android Market. It needs a little work but the game itself is no different than iPhone version. Push notifications seem to be absent from the android version.

I've started playing this on my Android. I like that I can play with my iPhone buddies. My name on it is aukevin97 if anyone wants to get a game going. The game is a little buggy sometimes, it crashes from time to time when I start it, and a few of the games I've played show up as Ended on my Galaxy Tab even though I am still playing them on my MyTouch 4G phone.

It's nicer than Wordfeud free (that I had been playing), but the notifications suck on Words. Wordfeud pushes to you whenever you have a move, but Words queues it up every 5 mins and doesn't really work well. Hopefully they fix it because otherwise it's a snazzier version of Scrabble compared to Wordfeud (nicer looking game board, etc)
