lifespan: approx 60 hours
usage: always on
bluetooth on time: 0 hour
accumulative talk time: 1 hour
vibrate: no
ring volume: increasing
screen brightness: lowest
numpad backlight: yes

an extra 10 hours with blue tooth off. my k750 only last 1/2 as long with bluetooth on. but battery life for the SGH-L760 is not that impressive either, mostly due to the compact battery size.

wahlao. you should be very very thankful that it even can last 60 hours or so.

take the N95 for example. 1 day battery sure kaput. LOL.
feeling happier now?

btw, if you leave 3G constantly on, it will drain the battery faster too. try to set the phone to dual mode (GSM + 3G), but for best battery life, go for GSM only.

if you set your phone to 3G only, that is a sure battery-killer, and signal strength killer too.

Eh, 3G is a signal killer?? I didn't know that. What's the reason? Oh, you mean poorer coverage?

IMHO, the sad thing is, 3G networks in Malaysia are just used primarily as wireless data carriers. therefore, service providers in Malaysia such as Maxis, Celcom and Digi do no put emphasis on their development and availability, even when 3G networks can completely take over GSM networks (with some pros and cons).

therefore, 3G signal strengths are usually low here. if you use 3G-only for a Maxis line in the KL area, you are more than likely to just get half the strength of what you'd get with a GSM signal.

Ahhh... I see. That makes sense.

every night? O__O I only charge it when it's low.
I know my K750i can last 3-4 days before dangerously low. depending on usage. 3 days would be just nice when battery level at 15-10% at the end of the day. could last 4 days if i don't make or recieve calls.

That's bad for the battery. Lithium-ion batteries may not suffer from the memory effect but they last longer if they are constantly recharged.

Now my K750 can't last more than 2 days...

it's not good to drain the battery? wow. didn't know that.

Well, in the past, they used NiMH and NiCd batteries which suffer from the memory effect. Which is why mobile phone companies recommend that you drain your phone batteries once in a while - to restore their capacity.

Not true with lithium-based technology. You should keep them charged as much as possible.

-update-
tested the music playing capability last night.

and i wasn't pleased at all
