I'm going to give it till Monday and if I still don't like it. I will switch. The graphics from an iPhone to a Droid are night and day, Droid blows the doors off the iPhone.

The battery life on this thing blows. Yesterday I added 5 apps and sent out 9 text messages (no phone calls) and my battery was dying already. I had nothing running in the background other than to search for apps for about 45 minutes. So far I haven't had it for more than 24 hours and I've recharged it 3 times. Maybe I received a bad battery??

It must be your battery because I use my phone a lot and only have to charge it every two days.

Not putting your iphone in sleep mode when you aren't using it will wear the battery down pretty fast. It will eventually put itself in sleep mode and you can change how long it takes to do so in your settings. You'll still get notifications and other reminders pushed and they will pop-up as received;however, you won't be able to see them afterward or any time what's on your screen until you hit the round button with the square on it at the bottom. To put your phone in sleep mode, click on the button on the top right of the phone.

You also might want to check your brightness settings

In pink, I thought that turned it off.

That's if you hold it down. If you just press it quickly (it will make a sound if you have sounds turned on) without holding it down it will put it in sleep mode.

Last night a friend told me I can check what programs are running and how to "turn them off" kinda. Press the round button twice and at the bottom come the programs. Hold one of the icons down and when they are shaking turn them off using the minus sign on each icon.
My question is, does putting the phone in sleep mode using the top button do the same thing or is other way better to conserve the battery?
