Jolla battery life

Now nearly 2 months of use and last 3 weeks with the NFC tin foil fix applied!

Observations.

Battery life is better than my N900 and way better than my N9. It’s not just the standby time but the usage that is the big difference. On my N9 I never had my chat accounts active and definitely not bluetooth. I could get a good days usage but the battery meter was so unreliable as to be near useless under 50%. I lost count of the number of times it would drop from 40% to 4% (yes I know there is a bug) and then on reboot it would appear as 20% and then get the rattle of death at 2% and die before you could get a charger plugged in.

My Jolla is a different experience, the battery % is very accurate and falls in a linear fashion and that is with bluetooth, tweatian streaming and chat accounts active as well as positioning on too. It is a much more reliable experience and makes the phone use that much smarter and me that much less paranoid about battery time left.
