what phone for verizon has the best battery life??
...
The 8300 is a pretty strong contender. Not sure if it is the best but I know it lasts a long time for me.
...
LG Battery sucks! I'm currently swapping out about 5 or 6 batteries a week under warranty. They do great for about the first 5 or 6 months, then they slowly start to crap out. After about 8-10 months, you'll find your talk time is diminished by about half, and it only takes 6 hours of standby to drain you from full charge to no charge. Common complaint out of every one of our customers. I hope they get their sh** together soon, because LG's are great phones, just the batteries suck. Unless you buy an extended of course ๐
...
sounds like more of a phone problem if you keep going through 8 batteries.. what model do you have
...
it's not me personally......im the manager of a store location.. i'm switching out on 3300, 3400, 3450, 5200, 5300, 8300, want me to continue?????? or do you get the point yet?
...
Yeah I had the 8300 and before I switched, I made two calls lasting five minutes each, and stuck the phone in my pocket, I always charge my phone overnight everynight, and had the phone without the charger from 630AM and by 1PM the phone was on the last bar of batt power. I didn't have a good experience with the phone batt wise, it really wasn't all that good. But I think the UI is a batt drainer in the first place.

moron ๐
...
Which makes complete sense that all the other phones are doing outstanding with battery life with the new UI. But assuming you're correct, how do you explain the crappy battery life out of the lower end LG's 3200, 3300, 3400, 6100, and I could go on this list forever that doesn't have the new UI.
...
I am sorry I was only going on what a VZW customer service rep told me when I called them.

Not what you said... but okay. ๐
...
WELL HERE LET ME SAY IT NOW, THAT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD BY A VZW CUSTOMER SERVICE REP... is that clearer? Or do I need to type bigger, perhaps in Aramaic. Sign Language?
...
geez calm down, it's just a forum ๐คฃ
...
and btw....i'm curious.... How do you type in sign language???????????????? Or is that something else a customer service rep told you? ๐

Damn't it didn't show up, its a middle finger

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
WoW clever!!!!!! You know it's easier to just hit the letter button on the keyboard right? ๐คฃ ๐คฃ ๐คฃ ๐คฃ Only reason i'm hanging on this thread is to see how much further and obviously upset and irritated my comments will make you. I laugh at people who get hell-bent over a forum.
...
Yeah, trust me, I don't even think about this forum outside of work, but thank you for your concern. And I am only sticking around this forum to see how many times I can use "going down on verizon" to see who I can piss off, LMAO.
...
You know, I never realized how amusing your pissy antics were until one of my coworkers brought up your name in conversation about these forums. Yeah, we can't wait to see what you have to say next so we can laugh at you. ๐คฃ
...
Wow I am sorry your life stooped to that level where you would talk about ME outside a forum. I write on here out of boredom from work, but to actually talk about me, wow, to be hated or to be loved, being infamous is good enough, sweet.
...
I don't believe that for a second. must not have charged it that night.
...
I charge it everynight, it probably didn't help that I was outside and had no service, yet was less 40 miles from Downtown Houston in highly populated area, but "its the network."
But alas I did charge my phone like I do every night and what happened, happened.
Didn't mean to salt your game Playah, but I do charge my phone. I am not a sixteen year old girl who leaves there phone places and doesn't charge it and wonder why my phone doesn't work.
You know earlier there was a person who started a thread about the stupid things that Customers have said to them...ONE SHOULD BE STARTED ABOUT ALL THE STUPID THINGS PEOPLE THAT WORK OR HAVE VERIZON IN THEIR USER NAME HAVE SAID!
...
I'll second that motion! So explain how you type in sign language for me???????????????????????????????????

The guy is just a stupid troll.
...
haha i know ๐
no worries
...
Yes he is, but dammit, he's fun to laugh at!
...
UH Yeah, too bad Schlitter is a German word meaning slippery or wet...and as for the stupid thing...The only thing I have heard from people that support Verizon so much that they would marry it is that "OMG if VZW was a penis, I would totally go down on it" - Verizonplayah or however you spell his name. I am only quoting what I heard.
See this is why I left this carrier...I try and tell a story, and Oh no, couldn't be our phone or service, are service is the next thing to godliness you can get, that is besides ingesting LSD. It happened, end of story, I called VZW and a rep said, the UI does drain batt life, I am only going on what I hear. So if you want to call me a stupid troll that doesn't know what he is talking about it, fine.
...
What makes the most sense is that Flash Themes drain the battery and not the standard UI. ๐คจ

Stupid Troll! If you are so smart you would have been able to put 2 and 2 together to think... "Hmm.. that doesn't make sense, because all the phones aren't getting complained about." There are stupid reps out there, but this is what I figure. For every 1 stupid CSR in the wireless i...
(continues)
...
Why come back, because this is the most hostile forum. People chunking grenades in the trenches! LOL. Its awesome. People starting crap. "BOO Crippling, UI SUCKS" vs "PLEASE LET ME GO DOWN ON YOU MORE VZW" I mean this is like reality TV for forums. "Why Can't we have both" vs "VERIZON Doesn't like you, customer, so get over it!" Its better than TV.
...
It only becomes hostile when someone comes in an starts touting an incorrect fact as The Word and gets defensive when someone tries to correct them. You know, I bet people wouldn't get so aggravated with your posts if you just stopped a second, read what you just finished typing and asked yourself, "Is this going to come off as me sounding like a tool?" Or if you're replying to someone's smartass comment, you should stop and think, "Why am I continuing this? Why don't I just drop it and move on?" While this is amusing to most everyone here, it's counter-productive.
...
The people that work for them are counterproductive, not to mention counter-evolutionary, and my phone running out of batt in a short period of time, and a VZW CSR telling me somehting that is stupid, is not an incorrect fact, its just what happened.
...
Then all we ask is next time write it as it was.
"A stupid VZW rep told me ____________"
not
"I think _________"
I never said I thought your claim of your battery draining in 12 hrs was outrageous. Fully believable. Things happen. Electronics are screwy. My point is that LG's seem to be the most screwy with batteries. You got bent out of shape when I said that I thought it was crap about the UI draining battery life. It makes no sense. You took it from there. You got bent out of shape. If you don't believe me.....re-read the thread.
Geez, I can't believe I'm still posting on this. I'm Outtie!
...
so does anyone have an answer?? the phone i have now doesn't even last a day and for my new phone all i really care about is battery life.
...
If you want something with excellent battery life, definately go with a samsung or motorola. RAZR is over-rated, KRZR too damned expensive. V325 is doing very VERY well with battery and signal. Any phone other than one that takes the little blue LG battery is going to do you just fine. Who knows, maybe LG fixed the battery glitch... but why run the risk. Just avoid it all together is my motto.
...
MOTO V325
MOTO KRZR
NOKIA 6315i
best way to go

The LG 8300 battery life SUCKS!!! On all LG phones the battery life decreases after owning a phone for 2 months. Then it's time for a new battery. You will begin to notice sparatic battery life indicator levels up and down then no battery life. Happened on my LG 8300 with two replacements. Happened with my brother's LG 7000. Happened to my friends LG 8100.
The BEST VZW phones for battery life are...
NOKIA 6315i
MOTOROLA KRZR K1M
MOTOROLA V325
KYOCERA KX444
AUDIOVOX XV6700
THATS THE BOTTEM LINE

Well if it happened to all three of you it must be true
...
Yup, unfortunately for LG it is true. All 17 stores in the company i work for had this problem with LG's little blue batteries. One of the reps at another store had an 8300 in front of him and it exploded! He thought it was a gunshot so he hit the floor. Either VZW or LG (not sure) replaced it for him. But how scary is that?!?! Exploding phones?! Talk about theft deterrent! ๐คฃ
...
LG had this problem before. There were stories of LG's exploding. I think it was either the VX-10/VX-1, VX-4400 or VX-3100.
...
lg510.....kaboooooom ๐ฒ I have had 0 issues with the 8300 lith. It is a little different than the other lg batteries, it is 1100mah instead of 1000, now the 3200's omg those things suck, but atleaste it is cheaper then replacing a entire phone, lg batteries may suck but i still think they are better than moto phones.
...
okay how come when I said something it wasn't true, but an exploding phone isn't as far fatched as a batt that died in less than 12 hours after being charged all night?

Because everyone hip to you being a stupid troll with nothing positive to say.
...
Yes but how did I get that way, did society make me or did I make society. Pondering. That still didn't answer my question. Because someone is a "troll" which by the way havne't ran into any billy goats lately, Haha, and their batt dies, doesn't make it right for someone to say it isn't true, but then someones phone exploding and that is absolutely true? come on. lol
...
Exploding phones - not an every day occurance.
Replacing CRAP LG Batteries - DAILY!
Stupidity of forum trolls as yourself - Priceless!
...
It's odd, but I've never had a single complaint about the battery on LGs. I've owned nothing but LGs and have never had a battery issue except with the LG VX6100, but that phone was a pile of crap to begin with.
I'm kind of surprised at the results here.
...
All I said was that the phone drained down in less than 12 hours of being charged over night. Yes I could see where that would be hard to believe.
Dealing with VZW employees that couldn't tell their ass from a hole in the ground = Daily.
Switching to another carrier that gives just as good service with better calling plans, better reception, and better Text and Data = Priceless.
...
So go to their forum already..............
...
We have a VX6100, VX8000 (on 2nd battery), T730, V325 and V120e, all in daily use. The LGs have to be recharged every night while the Motorolas can go several days. The V120e is almost four years old and has the original battery. The V325 has by far the best battery life of the group, the VX6100 is the worst.
...
the v120 had one of the best batteries ever put in a phone. the 720/730 however were not that great, I went through multiple batteries on those models in ashort period of time.
