I have had this phone for a week Captivate. I absolutely love this phone. I had this phone out today for 7 hours and still had 75% battery left. i was talking on the phone for a little over an hour, my email checks every 15 mins and sent a few txts. I am not dropping calls and my everyone can hear me.
Recommend this phone to anyone and everyone who needs email and phone in one.

I have had 2 Captivate galaxy s phones within 3 weeks and am going to get a different cell. Battery life isn't very good, MANY dropped calls, was unable to answer the phone a couple times, callers couldn't hear MANY times, callers also would call it would ring twice the either dead air or busy signal. Not worth the hassle anymore

Poor battery, 12 Sep 2010The very bottom of the list was
reserved for Samsung's Gal... moreWell, i dont know what the issue is with these phone. both the humming bird processor and AMOLED are supposed to push the battery life.
I used a full charged (100%) phone (it took 3 hours to get it there from a 4% juice) only for calls to check the actual's claimed by Samsung. I turned off all internet activity, background data, 3G network, animations, min screen brightness and didn't even text. I received only 2 calls and called out rest of the times. The total "standby plus calling time" for which the phone lasted was 43 hours which had 11 hours 43 mins(92% of battery use out of the 96% i had consumed before started charging it again) of total voice calls and 1 hour 37 mins (6% of the battery use out of the 96%) of display use which i guess again includes the time display is ON when you dial the numbers, hang up etc during the calls..
KUDOS!!
that's cool i guess..
but my NOKIA E72 does better (sorry to compare to way diff phones, but i am a HUGE fan of the way NOKIA phones' batteries last!!!). A full charge gets me through to about 38 hours with 11 hours of talking, texting, alarms, incoming calls ringing, email checking 10 times a day, occasional Google search.
The only diff here i believe is the high powered samsung processor (1Ghz over Nokia's 600 Mhz)

Anonymous, 11 Sep 2010The battery is not that bad. I was using one at partial lif... moreThat's BS. The Captivate has a very poor battery life.
I myself managed to get 9 hours of battery life out of it, which is actually pretty good for a smartphone, but to do so, I basically had to make the phone ugly as hell. I set the background to pure black (because the super AMOLED screen supposedly saves more energy with that), turned off bluetooth/wifi/etc, turned off all animation, and set brightness to lowest possible.
Isn't the Super AMOLED screen, Android, and the Hummingbird processor all supposed to be great at saving energy? The iPhone 4 (which has equal specs) smashes this phone in battery life.
Meh, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if not for two things: (1) The fact that there is no toggle to switch from using 3G to 2G, which would save a huge amount of battery, and (2) the fact that this phone takes like 3-4 hours to fully recharge.
