I just charged my phone to the full. Then I used it for about half an hour but the battery indicator showed 50% remaining? How fast the battery drained! This will be a problem when you travel a long way without battery reserves unless you stop over at the restaurant to have it charged. Some executive-class busses are equipped with electricity socket at every row of seat.

Smartphones can do more and more, and all these things drain the battery. Unfortunately, battery technology is still way behind smartphone technology. It helps to turn off some services when you aren't using them, such as WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS.

With more features and better technology, battery should be able to stand longer so that users do not have to go to a lot of troubles recharging their phones.

@yanzalong Unfortunately battery technology is lagging behind. Perhaps we'll start to see phones with built-in solar cells, like calculators!

Have you ever thought about getting a new battery? They start to die quicker the older they get. Also sometimes it helps to double chevk that there arent any programs eunning all day that eat up battery.

That's already the second battery I have. The first one was swollen and only lasted for a couple of minutes

I guess there is something wrong with your battery, or it depends on the feature of your phone. My Alcatel really drained fast but Nokia it last for a lifetime - kidding. But true and what I observed is using a Wi-Fi is best dine data because data drained the battery fast.

With battery draining quickly, power bank products have been launched into the market. With power bank, phone users should no longer worry about their mobile phones being on low battery.

Better to buy a better quality charger or a new phone.

Battery manufacturers should think of inventing technology to prolong battery power. Don't you think?
