Samsung Blackjack Batteries: Rejoice!
Posted by Rocco Augusto in "NEWS" @ 05:00 AM
"It's no secret that even though the Blackjack is an unbelievable Smartphone, battery life is a bit less than desirable with HSDPA use. (less than a full 24hr day for me....your mileage may vary). But HowardForums member, pbogle, offers us a solution to turn off/on HSDPA data, based on his Samsung ZX20 experience. This leaves us Blackjack users with UNBELIEVABLY GREAT battery life under EDGE or GPRS data. (2 or more bars left by the end of the day for me with a decent amount of use)."
Over at MoDaCo, encece has posted a quick walkthrough for toggling your HSDPA data connection off and on. If you are one of those users that can barely make it through a single days use, like myself, this might be a less expensive alternative to purchasing an extended battery.
