OK, maybe you do need to recalibrate, then ... It wouldn't hurt,
anyway.
Does your power tend to go down really fast and then seem to get
"stuck" at 4% for ages? The Apex appears to have some sort of
built-in monitor of the battery voltage (or something like that
.. I have no idea what, to be honest) that allows it to give us
the 3 critical battery warnings at 3, 2 and 1% respectively
before the battery dies. (Which is rather nice, as on the MPower
you had to keep an eye on the voltage a lot more)
The power saving mode only applies to WIFI, I think ...
Go options menu, connectivity, wireless (on), then press w, space
through the wireless options until you get to power saving mode
and y for yes.

Yes, most of the time, I charge it up to 100 or 97%. I notice
that the
battery charge goes down way too quickly even if the WiFi and
Bluetooth aare
off.
You mentioned the power saving mode, how do you do it?
Thanks.

Do you charge it right up to full (or at least over say about
95%)? Because the readings will be a bit misleading (too high to
begin with) if you only charge it partially, my phone's battery
is the same. Yeah, I guess recalibrating would make it guess the
capacity more accurately, but there again if you only charge it
like half way a few days after recalibration I'd say the readings
will still go down fast.
Otherwise ... Wireless being on all the time probably makes the
battery go down faster (even with the power saving mode), I could
be wrong about that but I think it would.
But just using a large file shouldn't have any particularly bad
effect on battery I wouldn't have thought.

Hi again,
Does anyone know if losing your battery charge pretty quickly is
normal or not?
I work with a big file and am doing a lot of word replacements.
The Apex may go down from 41% to 4% real fast.
If this is not normal, would recalibrating work?
Thank you.
