Just wondering if anyone else has noticed differences in their 3DS battery life after the most recent update?
I have charged my 3DS fully for this morning, and played about 2:13 hours of LoZLA, watched the Green Lantern trailer a couple times, and about 45 mins of Pokemon White, 15 mins of Internet Browsing and accessed the pokedex, eShop and green lantern trailer a couple times today. I've racked up only 3:33 playtime and my 3DS light was blinking red in sleep mode a little while ago. - (Forgot to mention this was during sleep mode)
Is this normal? I swear I'd squeeze more time out of it, especially since I haven't been playing much 3D content.
*Edit 12/06/11
Today I played Zelda Links Awakening for a little over 2 hours, and used the Internet Browser for about 15 mins. My 3DS dropped by 1 bar, and then I have had it in SLEEP MODE closed since bout 10:30AM this morning. At 16:30PM, I checked my 3DS, and it was already showing a red light! I think that the problem is occurring within Sleep Mode, as I initially found it blinking red yesterday whilst it was in sleep mode.
Anyone else notice their 3DS's running out of battery whilst in sleep? Before the update I am pretty certain I could have my 3DS sleeping for a day or two with little impact on the battery!
*Edit - Just to be clear, the most concerning thing is that the severe battery drain is happening during Sleep Mode, I don't believe that actual gaming time has really been affected.
- 13/06/11 - With SpotPass disabled on the Pokedex only, battery drain in sleep mode seems a lot less (only 1 bar down overnight and after 1hr 50 mins of Zelda)
