Nice review! I have a rooted Samsung Epic that I checked that app out on and its pretty sweet. I went ahead and ordered the adapter then got out of paying for the app. We have 4 cars that use OBDii so its a steal. My OBDi stuff has a custom setup that involves a palm pilot :P
The app? ~$5. Its in silly UK currency at like 2 pounds 90 or something.

You likely just need a NEW battery. They eventually lose their capacity to hold a charge and need to be replaced. Having things on like BT, GPS and/or WiFi will also kill a battery quick. Another thing people do not realize will do it is low signal strength. The less bars you have the more battery is used to maintain communication with the tower. Go buy you a new battery off ebay but get an OEM battery. Do not get one of those japanese generic celled batteries.
Huh, well my phone isnt that old, and it wouldnt last a full day since the day I bought it. How long does yours last? I dont use any of the apps, or the GFS and wifi and such. I even downloaded the "app killer" (I think thats what it is) that is suposed to help with battery life. But no such luck.

Im on mine a lot throughout the day. If i dont get on it I can go all day but while at work my wife is constantly texting me. I get and send emails all day. Im quick to pick it up and download something or play with it.
But I do keep two cables in my office. I keep an AC charger and a DC charger in the truck and obviously I have some at home. I do have an extra battery i take with me if im going somewhere like out of town.
But like i said, Im on it a lot. So far ive downloaded almost 9gb of data and im only 2/3 through my billing cycle
