Guest doily Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 Hi! I have an orange spv for a whole week now and luv it to bits. However, there is one little thing that is bothering me. Why after a full charge does the battery end up with one bar left after only about 8-9 hours :oops: . I had a full charge this morning and after getting two phone calls, all of which lasted about 20 minutes in total, I now have only one bar left :evil: !! Do you think I have a dud battery or is it something to do with the settings? Ok, so the homepage is set to show all the time,( I need to show this thing off you know!!!) but the backlight is set to go out after 5 seconds. Any help would REALLY be appreciated. I don't really want to go around tethered to a 240v power socket or my car battery! T.I.A Dave
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 Sounds lower than usual, but unfortunately 1-2 days battery life is the best you can expect out of the phone. Have you run the latest update on your phone? This helps extend battery life slightly.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 Also go to ProgramsSettingsPower Management and under screen saver mode set it to "turn off"
Guest Brody Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 and turn off radio or set to "aeroplane" mode (one or the other will be available depending on your software version, access it by tapping the power button) at night if you aren't expecting any calls, this helps dramatically if you're without a charger :)
Guest Darkaeden Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Hey, i-ve an orange spv that from 1.36 france version, ive updated to 1.50 swiss rom. but no improvement in battery life...but i did not the hard reset. My battery life is only one day....how i can do?
Guest stevewright Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Doily - the battery bars are as follows: 4 bars - 80-100% 3 bars - 60-80% 2 bars - 40-60% 1 bar - 20-40% I find that sometimes at the end of the day I'm at 1 bar, but Task Manager reports I've still got 35-40% left. Which ain't too shabby....

Nice to see some of the old posts once in a while :lol:
