EL the Famous Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Has anyone noticed that no matter what cell phone you get these days the batteries don't last more than a day? ...based on how much use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I have a cheap little Motorola flip phone I got free from Cingular, and I have to charge the thing roughly once a week. I don't use the phone that much, but I do use it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I charge my RAZR evey few days and that's w/ pretty decent use. One helpful hint, there are usually battery saving settings you can put your handset on that help a lot...you should make sure you've got it set correctly to get the maximum.

EL the Famous Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 yes, because cellphones are the instruments of the devil. whee-hoo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 ...such as "off." I think your fear of cell phones, fire, and Geico is irrational. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 yes, because cellphones are the instruments of the devil. whee-hoo.That wasn't intended as way to express my opinion of cellphones ... merely as a tip for saving your cellphone battery. I leave my phone off most of the time, and I have to recharge it maybe once every couple of months. Damn. People all up in my grill an' shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, a lot of juice is sucked out of the battery every time you power up and power down...it's one of the most draining functions relative ot battery life. Sorry. Every time cellphones are brought up on here in some capacity, you get the obligatory detractors who base the value of these devices not on what they help people do...but how people abuse the use of them.

cryptique Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Well, I'm hardly a typical cellphone user, so my suggestion was unrealistic anyway. Mine is basically for emergencies only -- I probably turn it on and use it once every couple of weeks, if that. So, I go long enough between recharges that I frequently manage to lose my recharging cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 well, how about this. I'll record part of the website stream tomorrow, and then call you and play it back over the phone. But you wont pick up. Not only because I don't have your number, but also because its not on. I don't really use my cell phone either though (The only time ive had it above vibrate is when I am expecting a call while im in the shower), and i definitely respect people that use them sparingly.

Spawn's dad Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 krzr vs. rzr? I'm going to become amish, I swear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 krzr vs. rzr? I'm going to become amish, I swear. Both are good...but i'd probably say RAZR. Take a look at both and see which seems to be more 'Gary'. Really, it's just a difference in size and material/finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
