I am currently using Android Milestone mobile phone. I don’t know how but, recently while I just unplugged my Milestone in the morning and just went to work. After some time that is maybe after 4 to 5 hours its battery is dead! This is quite normal, earlier than I had a nexus one and it would perhaps last till 3 pm. I really don’t know why this is happened. So please if anyone have any knowledge about this android battery issue, than please must know me.

Possibly you have a battery hogging application running in the background? I just plugged in my Motorola Milestone XT701 in to charge it was at 40 percent battery level. It list time off the charger at 4 days and 3 hours. I am certain I could have gotten a 5th day out of it if I stay it on standby for the rest of the night. In the XT701, there is a setting which you can choose to improve phone performance or elegant to improve battery use. Choosing the elegant selection causes phone to twist off the WI-FI and data if not utilized within 40 minutes. One time you wake it up the data and or the Wi-Fi comes back on.

One of the most horrible applications for demanding the battery is Vonage's application for doing VoIP with your Facebook friends. I installed it the day it was released to observe what it was all regarding, and, even though I not at all made a call, it slay my battery in a pair of hours. Not certain if additional VoIP applications are this firm on the battery. As well, I believe that a few live wallpapers can cut down your battery life.
