Just got the Q9h a couple days ago. I bought it used from the bay. It only came with an extended battery and micro-mini adapter. I charged it with my computer via mini-usb cable until it said the battery was full. It lasted just under 12 hours with light use. It completely died and it fails to charge via USB cable. I have to go buy a usb charger i guess sad.gif
~5 emails (no attachments)
~5 text messages
~20min of GPS use
~15min of 3G internet use
~25min Talk time

Any ideas?

Sounds like you could use a new battery. Perhaps the factory battery was defected. If the usage you posted is truly accurate, 12 hours is ridiculous. However, with a lot of GPS usage, you should expect to have to charge even the extended battery every 24 hours just to ensure that it doesn't go out on you.

It seems that charging it with an AC charger fixed the problem!
