where is my battery going?

    Hi all,

    have the samsung s plus for a about a week now and i know android phones are heavy on battery but this is taking the pi** altogether. I had it fully charged yesterday over night, and after using the internet for about 20 mins and a phone call that lasted about half an hour, the battery was almost completely depleted and i had to recharge it again. that was two full charges in the space of about 15 or so hours, also bearing in mind that i turned the data network off after i finished using the net.

    Is this normal battery life for the galaxy s, if so its a disgrace!!! Sure how could anyone get a days use out of it even with normal non abusive level of use??

    I looked into currently running applications and found settings(11mb), DRM content(1.5mb), android system(1.6mb) task manager (1.8mb) google services(11mb) email (4.5mb) samsung keypad (22mb).

    Out of the ones listed there, they seem to be the bare essentials that make the phone run so I cant see anything excessive there....

    Anything i am missing or any useful tips on how to optimize the battery life cause Im not going to be able to charge the damm thing twice every day...???

    if you turn the wifi off and data recieving off you should get a much better increase in life, worked for me anyway

    tips if you are not rooted-
    -switch off network data whenever you can/you dont need them!
    -switch off autosync - of accounts (gmail, facebook, etc) autosync yourself
    -switch off the backround data
    -lower your britness
    -dont sign up for google latitude
    -also switch off your location service - gps*/wifi*

    or if you are rooted
    do the same as above +

    get app called betterbatterystats! you can get it on xda forum by searching through google (easy to find) its perfect choice. its tracking all running aps and showing you the consumption. then you can locate the battery drain.

    and remove/froze the app that is causing you the drain with titanium backup (itsa paid app, but worth the deal).

    but if you only do the points above it should increase your battery life a lot
