Guest meatgrinder Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 i'm struggling to get 2 days out of mine :P i listen to a lot of mp3s, but i'm finding that between 8am till 6pm, with, say...4 hours of mp3 playing (screen off - backlight off) my battery is way down at 68%, which may not seem to bad, but after a second day like this, and it'll moan about battery power :D what kinda battery life is every1 else getting? say what u use your phone for, and how long for - and dont forget to say how much standby time you get :) once my 512mb mini sd arrives, i'll hard reset at 100% charge and see how it goes. i also charged my c500 as the manual says for its first charge.

Guest Captain Vallo Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Wonderful life;-). took in on short break and decided not to take charger. Fully charged 7.00 am Sunday morning. for the next 3 days, sent several texts, phone calls, pictures and even some video. Switched off phone 2 of the nights. Now its Wednesday (3 days later) and still have two bars and (60%). What more can I ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 similar for me - went sailing for bank holiday weekend (without charger) the phone gave me approx 1 hour talk time, 2 hours browsing, about 100 texts and 72 hours standby and only used about 3/4's of battery!

Guest gillsr Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Battery life with Bluetooth on discoverable over the last week has been excellent, with heavy use (lots of GPRS in car and a few calls) it will last 36hrs easy without charging, and with light use (receiving one or two calls, and some texts) 60+ hours (Smartbatt says 2 days 16hrs). I have only just turned Bluetooth ad accept beams off this week, and smartbatt has settled at about 3 days 11 hrs! which is about that much light use.
