but it still drains in six hours it's doing my head in :evil: :lol: .

Software installed: Software unlocked, Eclipse, Betaplayer (Stable), smart explorer, Task manager all installed on phone,

Please help as i don't want to start again with a replacement phone

Btw I looked after my battery like it was one of me, because i new before i recieved the phone they can be funny at times,,This is my worst nightmare i new this would happen to me :x :x . I hope there is a simple solution or why it has done it!!!

Some people have said that their battery drains faster (or appears to) if you leave it on charge too long. I've not tested it, but based on very unscientific observations I'd tend to agree.

You could try letting your battery drain, then charge it until the light (which glows orange while charging) goes green. The unplug it and see how long it lasts.

You could also check things like:

1) GPRS connections - is it always on? (do you have Smartease Orange Shell?)

2) Do you have any Instant Messaging software running?

3) Is it downloading emails on a schedule?

4) What plugins your homescreen uses (try using one of the built-in ones to check)

5) Switch Bluetooth off, it might be continually sync'ing with your PC

Hmm, that's all I can come up with off the top of my head

Start with the recharge process and see how you go

Sounds more like it's not charging properly. If it was charged fully I don't think you could run it down in 6 hours unless you were using it all the tiime.

Probably a faulty battery.

Cheer's guy's many thanks for your reply :D ;) .......Nothing obvouis there :D .......... i never charged it past the green light and let it run down to 1 bar before charging again. I think your right "chucky egg" i think there is somthing running in the backround or something... checked everything.

Allthought when i exit the internet i do not turn off the GPRS never have should i ???

Confucious, :lol: I charge it at 1 bar till the green light apears it takes approx 2/3hours.......... by morning it's warning me with the !!! in the corner :evil: .

Btw, Just can remember iv'e had to remove the battery when the phone got stuck a couple of times :shock: do you think this has killed the battery???

[Guest Confucious]

The batteriies (I believe) have a chip in them to tell them when they are fully charged. If there is something wrong with this then it might not be charging fully - hence my deduction that it is probably a faulty battery.

HTH

Thank's, :lol: My work mate has a c500 too, so i'll try his battery tomorrow,........I hope it is just the battery, Just got the phone how i wanted it :roll: ..........Cheer's m8o......alfa155.......

I'm new to the c500/5600/etc., but I read that some other Smartphones would have odd battery life problems if you did a hard-reset (or firmware update), if you didn't have the battery fully charged. Have you done any hard-resets recently?

[Guest Alfa155]

THINK IT'S SORTED!!! :D :D Except for the first charge when i recieved the phone........, i left it on charge all night and half the day approx 18 hour's :shock: :shock: But it's worked...... for now, 6 Hours and counting so far on standby (couple of calls made) and it's still on full bar's:D :D Let you know for the long run, Many thank's for all that helped :lol: :D

BTW mgama ;) ... No hard reset's here (wouldn't no how)

Cheer's again..........alfa155......... :D
