li-ion batteries don't discharge linearly

and often, the battery isn't charging when it's plugged in and it's at "100%" because otherwise it would overheat so the battery stops charging for a set amount of time before it tops it back up to 100

don't leave wifi on ever

also, don't use a task killer thing i don't know what that icon is on the top left there.

post in here if you're having problems

and idk 18 hours isn't too bad don't expect the thing to last 4 days on a single charge.

what's that shield thing?

I'm wondering if I just simply think the battery's draining rapidly because I never had the ability to see the battery's exact percent before. I just went and turned that off again back to just a bar form. I'll take this for a field test and report back.

So I've looked into alternatives, and I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Galaxy S II. However, AT&T recently launched a newer version which has LTE capabilities: The S II Skyrocket.

I do live around Chicago, though in the store when I was playing with it I certainly wasn't pulling the ridiculous 10Mbps down speed they hinted at. Still, does anyone know which phone is a better choice? It seems that the Skyrocket has a 1.5Ghz processor as opposed to the SII's 1.2Ghz, but video reviews are reporting that the different chipsets utilized are actually giving the Skyrocket slightly lower performance than the SII. The Skyrocket's screen is larger, and the battery is slightly more robust to compensate for this, but the resolution hasn't changed at all. Oh, and the Skyrocket is $50 more. What do you guys think?
