Terrible battery life - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hmm this is just kinda disturbing. Is Facebook really that much of a battery hog? And could anything else be draining it so bad?

If I had to take a guess, I'd say the screen played a part...

Yea my screen has always taken about that much of my battery. I hear about people going a day and a half without charging their phones. I'm like, are they just not using it that whole time or what?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

Yes, we don't use it at night. And we're not facebook junkies. I can only suggest finding black themed FB app, it will decrease screen usage drain.

That would help. Everything else on my phone is black themed. Even my wallpaper is just a completely black JPEG I created in Paint lol If it didn't have to completely reload everything from scratch whenever you change screens it would help too.

I can send you a black version of facebook but its the older look not the newer look. Also Im surprised that I found someone that has worse battery life then me o.o
Do you have your screen brightness down all the way?

Nope I forgot about the screen brightness thanks. And are you running GB?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

Maybe just post a link to it here and title it Black Themed Facebook, so it makes it easier for anyone else looking for it too..unless you meant emailing it to me lol

make sure the buttons at the bottom are lit up then just hold the power button and the home button at the same time until you hear a sound of a camera taking a picture..

I like how easy that is, but us there a way to choose the file type (instead of PNG)? When I took a screen shot that way I could not post it with the xda app (not a valid image format), I had to use ShootMe to get a jpg that I could upload.

Awesome, thanks so much, I've been looking into the app no root methods and they all seem to be tethered solutions, meaning you have to re-enable them through your PC every time you reboot. I can't believe LG just put it in the FW and very few know about it, the crazier thing is why Android hasn't just incorporated it into the Android OS.
thank you sir every day im in love with my thrill more and more
Yay ! thank you for the info.. I didn't know android phones could do this, but I never really looked into it.. I loved this option on the iphone now my lg thrill keeps getting better

Have you tried rebooting? And if you have have you gotten anything else like the splash screen?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2
I rebooted and nothing not even splash screen.
It boots and every time I press the power button the buttons light up and so does backlight but nothing else.
Update: I found out I had the wrong revision for the LCD. I needed rev.5 not rev.4.....so I got the wrong part exchanged it and now waiting for it to come. Will report back.
