How do I make this battery last? The longest it's done is 24 hours, the daily average is 12. And this is with limited device / call use? Any one else have this problem?
I've written to SE support and their response was to have the light on auto and a bunch of other stuff like how close or far the device is from the network relays, use of bluetooth and IR (I am using a SE headset). Thing is never had this prob with T68i, R380s, T28 or GH688.
Ideas guys? |

No, that's the problem. I try to conserve as much as possible to see how long it'll last. |

Hey Omar did u try that thing on this board where you let the battery completely die out from full to empty for the first 4 cycles.....maybe that will help....

I just heard that they are recalling all the P800s because of a fault with battery charging. This comes from a source that I think has inside info. He says that something to do with the charging chip is faulty, and the phone only charges to about 20% of its capacity. They have had to recall the phone yet again, and are now saying release date will be mid March. |

I am an extensive user of my phone with an average of 3000 minutes per month. The battery life takes my until 3PM and that is simply not acceptable. I got everything else working and i love the phone, but i have to charge in my office or else, i wont last all day. |

Just a note... Lithium based batteries get DAMAGED if completely drained before charging. Do NOT treat Li-Ion or Li-Pol batteries like the old NiMH or NiCd batteries.
I get 2 days with normal phone/PDA & game use.
The battery life is VERY good for a PDA... try getting 12 hours from an iPaq.
Remember we're running ONE 1000mAh battery for a phone AND PDA. |
