The battery life on my G1 is my #1 complaint.
My thoughts are that the battery life issue is a combination of a few
different things:
1. The battery just ain't big enough for all the hardware components.
- Yeah, it's understandable that all the stuff it has eats up a
lot of power, but why couldn't the manufacturers see this coming? I
wouldn't mind having a larger battery and heavier phone, as long as
that meant I could use it for at least a full day under normal
conditions (and not have to turn everything off all the time).
2. The OS hasn't been optimized sufficiently to conserve battery
power.
3. The Android platform doesn't allow the user to manage power
consumption
- by killing unnecessary processes, managing how often apps poll
GPS or sync data over 3G, etc.
A lot of the time I feel the phone get warm and I believe it's running
some process, but there is no way to see what it's doing. That really
bothers me, especially when I'm out late and don't want my battery to
die on me before I make it home (as it has done several times
already).
Any other thoughts on this? Anyone aware of what work is going on to
improve power management issues?
