spv c550 battery life! Terrible!

[Guest bossyben]

i just wanted to see if anyone else was having problems with their C550's battery life. if i charge mine up over night, then use it for maby 10minutes of phone calls and mess about with it for say alf an hour, the battery is completely dead at the end of the day, i have to charge it up every night. i never had this problem with my C500 i used to get 2-3 days out of the battery in that. any help would be much appriciated

go to start, settings, power management and change backlight time out to ten and then change display timeout to 30 seconds and then turn on light sensor enable

I have to say I'm not that impressed with the battery life on my C550 as compared to the Nokia 3310i it replaces. That said, I have car chargers, the sync cable and mains chargers so it's unlikely I'm going to be left short.

Not having any battery problem with my C550. Try having your phone fully charged then do a hard reset. If problem still persists then I think it is safe to say that there must be something wrong with the battery itself that calls for replacement.

Is the bluetooth permanantly on? What are the specs of the supplied battery? Although all the same I've known the c550 to be supplied with a sanyo, a samsung and a maxell battery each of different capacity.
