Guest ogrillion Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 Hey Guys, Just got the blackjack 2, I am still within my 30days. So I wanted to find out if this was normal or a defect. Whenever I charge my phone, it doesn't always go to full sometimes stops at 90% but whatever. Anyways it seems if I leave it on the charger, once the light turns green the battery starts to discharge. If I remove it as soon as it turns green the battery gauge (settings > power) is usually full, however if say I leave it on over night it will deplete about 20-25%. I even tested it while driving, turned green took it off battery was 100%. Then I put it back on the charger, went red for a sec then green. Waited about 20mins took it off and the battery was down 10-15%. So hrm.. normal? I will probably just exchange it but I put on of those shieldguard protectors on it - just the screen I know they have a lifetime warranty and I think I can just request a new one but you still have to pay for shipping heh.
Guest hagie92 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 My battery meter never has made it all the way to full, unless I let it charge til the light gets green, unplug it, turn it off, and then plug it back in. Haha, I think it's just a problem with the meter, my phone seems to get pretty good battery life. hagie92

I just don't get all that great battery life, I mean I am also used to my sony ericcson w810i which gets like 9 hours talk time. Like today I charged it @ 8 used the internet for like an hour or so and by 1pm I am at 75%.. I don't know maybe I just expecting a bit too much. :-)
Guest hagie92 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Posted June 27, 2008 I think the battery charge rate is COMPLETELY off. First off, it doesnt show a complete charge (i would say the meter usually stops at 85-90%) ...once it gets to 75% and below range, it is super slow...like use it for a 1/2 a day at 75% and come back and it MAY be at 60%. if you want a good hard test, just use it until the battery goes out. I live with my phone in my hand, (8,000+ text/mo) and I've squeezed out 3 days without a charge before. hope it helps! hagie92

I noticed its highly inaccurate thogh. I will run it til no bars and it takes forever to finally cut off its odd. Thanks for the response :D Ogrillion
