How long do you leave your cell phone on?

With very little use, my Q with the extended battery can last about a week without even charging. I never turn it off at night. I finally switched out the batteries (extended battery ran low during the day), which involved shutting it off, and realized I had not turned it off in several months.

    iam rocking the Q also but if you turn it off and back on once a day you will see an improvment in how the phone works.

    I leave mines on but, I talk so the battery has to always be charged at the end of the day.

    Me and my BF leave it on all day. We charge it when we are driving in the car, as well as at home when we sleep. Other then that it's always on ;-)

    Now and then we let it die completely so it'll help the battery last longer, and be on a 100% fresh charge.

    I leave mine on 24/7, even when charging. I usually charge about every 2-3 days..my batteries suck lol

  • I never turn it off.

    I use it as an alarm clock, so if I would turn it off, I would definitely NOT turn it off at night.

    I just charge it whenever the battery looks low or when it beeps at me.

    But it lasts quite a while.

    I never turn the phone off. It goes on silent if needed, but never off. It gets charged at night.

    My phone's on 24/7.

    Lately it's been doing strange things in the middle of the night - I get calls from angry people I don't know saying they got a hang-up call from my number at 2 am, but their number won't even be in my call log. It's an old phone. Possessed, perhaps.
