Re: 4GB It's also not very useful, other than as a buffer, as there's no reason to be using that much data, and you'd be murdering your battery life anyways. Even at 1.5GB/mo, battery life is horrendous. |

Do you actually own a smartphone using VZW's LTE? I downloaded over 5GB's last month so tell me what I shouldn't be doing with my phone? Watching videos on youtube, checking email, surfing websites, etc. And my bionic's battery is doing just fine. I get over a day and a half with heavy usage. |

Are you trying to tell people what they can and cant do with their phones?
Why would you think everyone has the same needs or wants as you? |

I use 3-6 gb a month and I only charge my phone once a day and I have a thunderbolt lol, I have unlimited so this doesn't affect me.
I'm holding on to the grandfathered unlimited as long as possible, they aren't going to trick me into switching to tiered data. |

You must mean half a day. I own a Bionic and you do not get a day and a half with heavy usage, I don't care what you disable. The phone only gets 10 hours of 3G talk time, half that when using data heavy applications. |

Here is one screen shot after work one day. I have the extended battery. I get an easy 20+ hours out of it. Never happened though because your phone doesn't do it, right? |

| My phone lasts for days as well if I don't use it as is evidenced by that screenshot.  |

That is not "a day and a half of heavy usage." That is, at best, 3/4th of a day of heavy usage ... on an extended battery. |

EARTH | lol... Android battery life. One of the reasons I ended up switching to the iPhone. Even the iPhone can't do two days of heavy usage... |

The bionic idle stats are off, known issue with Gingerbread. |

The bionic idle stats are off, known issue with Gingerbread. I own a Bionic. I know how much time I get on the standard battery. I have also read reviews of the extended battery. At most, you get 20 hours of heavy usage. Nowhere near a day and a half.
Hush fanboy, hush. |

| Anyone who's getting more than a day of heavy usage is either not actually using the phone much, or they're lying. Even with iPhone. My friend showed me his Vibrant 4G that hadn't been charged in two days, and it was at 70% or so, and I was shocked until I found that he basically doesn't use his phone. |
