My battery drains almost twice as fast before froyo. We waited sooooo long for this? Ugggg. Need a GOOD fix for this other than toggleing the mobile data button on and off all day just to save a little battery life. There HAS to be a better solution. Either from Verizon/Samsung or a Tech wiz.

PLEASE HELP US!!!   Try doing a soft reset, power off your phone, and take your battery out of your handset and leave it out for 2 minutes.  Put battery back in, then recharge to full with charger before using again.  Right now battery level meter isn't accurate with Official Froyo. If that doesn't work, back up all your data with backup tool and do a factory reset.

I will be trying the hard reset next. Seems the only to go now.  Logged FulaMan Global Moderator Karma: +1/-0 Offline Posts: 79 Re: Froyo has shortened battery life!! « Reply #4 on: April 26, 2011, 05:00:33 PM » Quote from: A10boy on April 26, 2011, 04:47:19 PM I had already tried the soft reset with little change.

Seems the only to go now.  Don't bother, the only thing the hard reset will do is speed up your phone dramatically.  The battery life is abysmal I take back what I said earlier.  I have already complained to Galaxy S tech support via the phone.  I urge you to do the same if you don't mind Logged pilvi Jr. Member Karma: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 7 Re: Froyo has shortened battery life!! « Reply #5 on: April 26, 2011, 09:52:24 PM » Just to add to the complaint pile: my battery also drains much faster after the 2.2 update.  Seems like a big step backward to me.  I already thought the battery life was a bit short, but now it's even worse. FulaMan, you are suggesting that we contact Samsung tech support, not Verizon?

I preformed the hard reset, which I do recommend that helped the phone but not much for the battery. I went to the verizon store I bought the phone from and without blinking they set me up with a new battery! Now battery life is better. Phone still has locked up one me once in the past week but overall happy now. Good luck!

This seems to be working! With the extended battery, I was getting up to 3 days between charges. After FROYO update, that dropped to about 7 hours (when not in use battery was still draining.) I had searched many forums and have tried several different solutions and none have provided any additional battery life until this. After 2 days I still have 75% remaining.
