Yeah, I use greenify root on my Android phone to keep apps under control. It hibernates apps that like to sit on all the time (e.g. Facebook).

Both my parents' Android smartphones are loaded with apps and are used as actual smartphones (mostly phone calls, some texting, some Internet browsing, and some Facebook time, with a game or two in between), and even these phones manage to have 70% or more of the battery capacity remaining at the end of the day, despite Wi-Fi and GPS being turned on for the entire day. Not worrying about apps running amok rings even more true in the world of Windows Phone and iOS, as multitasking is rather... strict. --- In other news, my laptop's battery has 27.5% capacity loss. Ouch! Time to bring it to a Toshiba service centre and get a replacement battery. You know it's bad news when your system is throwing up battery life warnings. |
I've started actually not having mine plugged in all the time hahaha xD Used to have it plugged in all the time.

Ever since I've had KitKat installed onto my tablet, it's heated up more easily and it's taken down more battery.. but I'm not sure if I should blame one of my apps or if it's something in the software that causes the battery to lower faster and consume more CPU.

Has it been updated to 4.4.2 yet? Google pushed out some fixes.

It looks like my laptop's battery is shot. It won't charge to 100%, it needs coaxing to charge at all, and OEM diagnostics is complaining about it.
Yet another trip to a Toshiba service centre. |
The battery in my old laptop just randomly died. If it came unplugged, it would just immediately turn off. At that point I was pretty much fed up with it since I'd had to send it off several times in the three years or so that I'd owned it, and I just decided to buy a new laptop. Now this one cost a third of what I paid for the other one and hasn't given me a minute's trouble since I got it (a year and a half ago).
|
Usually when I run on my laptop, I try to discharge the battery often to make sure it still works.
|
Mine lasts about two hours I'd say... which isn't great but tbh it's really just a home computer that I use on the couch so I guess that's fine.
|
My last laptop that I had, had a 2-2.5 hour battery life and honestly that wasn't enough for me lmao. I'm planning on getting a small laptop next month, and that's one thing I'll be looking at.
My tablet has hoooorrible battery life. 1 hour per use? Yuck. |
Wow, that's terrible. My tablet gets good battery life and I use it a LOT. It usually lasts a few days before it dies.
|
Stick with ICS. Unfortunately with your phone you will find it difficult to find newer builds as interest in the phone dies and others upgrade.

Megan, I know what you mean about battery life. My nexus 7 uses power faster than it can charge, so I have to turn it off completely to charge it.. Won't be missing this thing when I buy my ipad. :P
|
I like the Surface for its 8-hour battery life... under the sun... browsing full-time desktop pages.
I don't mind it needing a proper laptop-grade charger since it charges so fast. |
My tablet is pretty good at holding a charge. I haven't used it in a while, but it was decent every time I used it. Which is a good thing, since my cat chewed the charger's cord and I can't leave it out all the time.
Right now, I'm annoyed at my desktop. It came preinstalled with Windows 8, and if I knew that that operating system would be holding me back, I would have waited to get a computer without it preinstalled. I can't play the games I want, and now I have to download different drivers in order to install my printer/scanner. Fortunately, in a few months' time, I'm getting rid of this computer and going back to my old one, which will give me more and better options. |
