790hrs eh? Bit different from the 48hrs I'm getting. An added irony is I can see the mobile phone masts I'm possibly connecting to, about 250m away.
Another problem may be your phone is constantly seeking 2G/3G reception given that 3G, even after all this time, in SG is pretty cr@p and I constantly switch out of 3G to a lower level while tripping around. For this reason the telcos were fined paltry amounts last year for poor service. If it had been a huge fine, it would only have ended up on our bills and in our contracts but what SHOULD have happened was an insistance to give each customer a few days free service instead, just as M1 are doing as a result of their outage last week.
On a so called smartphone where you only need a phone, turn off everything..... 3G, WiFi, BlueTooth, GPS, email/data sync. By limiting connections, you should be getting 4-5days battery life. Getting a month, from Samdung's reference it pretty impossible but a week is within grasp, just don't make a call within the last 10% cause it would only last a couple of minutes.
