1 Year on... Battery says no!

[Guest verbetex]

Hi guys

As the title suggests, I got my C500 about 1 year ago and was really impressed with the battery life! I could run it for 3-4 days before I had to recharge!

Now, 1 year on, from a full charge overnight it's just about to die at 4 in the afternoon with little or no usage!! There has been no gradual degredation in performance, it just seems to have happened a couple of days ago?!?

Anyone else had this problem?

Cheers

Paul

Hada similar problem with my C550, seemed everytime I played a certain game it would set my screen backlight timeout to never ! have a look in your power settings for something like that.

Generally, all li-ion batteries work this way. There's no degradation of performance, they just suddenly give up the ghost one day. For it to happen after only a year though is stange. Try letting your battery run down completely so the phone switches itself off and then do a full charge again.
