spv e200 it's not all bad

[Guest gfreek]

almost everybody in this forum has been slagging off the e200 with regards to battery life, buzzing, blutooth, t9, gprs auto disconect and email, so threfore i have decided address this issues with possible answers:-

1:- poor battery life solution charge the battery when it' the totally flat to the point the phone will not switch on, do this about 3-4 times you should see an increase batt life about 2 days.

2:- buzzing software problem not hardware because on my phone i only get buzzing problem when i dial 150 with all other calls no problem for the benefit of doubt i had my phone replaced with a new phone, had the same problem i agree with paul its software related so in the near future a software patch would solve that.

3:- blutooth again a softaware patch would solve that in the near future.

4:- t9, email and gprs all can be fixed with a software update, as you know you can manually dissconect from gprs if hold down the home key for more then 2 seconds and select 1.

other then all the above i still say the spv e200 is great phone compared to the previous 2 spv's i.e spv & spv e100.

Yes a great phone. But how are these problems really going to get fixed :?: You say an update which is correct yes, but will we ever get one. Just look at the 1.6 fiasco :shock: :!:

I cant beleive that a few charges/discharges would increase battery capacity by over 100% I'm afraid. As per my other post, 6am to 3pm was the battery life I was getting, with just a few calls and few minutes use. I woul guess that a few charges/discharges might run that time out to about 6pm, maybe even 7pm, but thats still not good enough for me.

I agree, there's absulutely no way the battery will last 2 days, I'm not even gonna ask if that's 2 days including Bluetooth operation.

It's plausable - Most devices with internal, rechargeable batteries benefit from a few charge/discharge cycles. Battery life should get better with time (before eventually getting worse).

I had to charge the battery on my cordless homephone, uninterrupted, for 18hrs before I could use it. After that, I am supposed to run it flat every 6 months or so.

My current T68i has very good battery life (it's 13 months old) and I (quite often unintentionally) let it run until it dies, then recharge it.

It all depends on the battery technology (memory effect, etc), what battery does the E200 have?

[Guest gfreek]

when i said if you charge/discharge 3-4 times yes you do get

about

2 days or if you want to be precise exactly 1.7 days (38hrs), heres how:- few phone calls 15-20mins worth, blutooth switched off, make sure gprs is diconnected if not in use, screen saver mode turn off and keypad control none.

I have my phone turned on from 7am to 2am next day, in most cases get about 1-2 days worth of useage, in haevy usage about 15.5hrs.

Well the T68i has a once-in-a-lifetime battery, simply amazing from my experience as well :lol:

15-20 mins of talktime is almost like letting the phone sit on the table...

Thanks alot GFREEK for posting this, ive been wondering how to turn the GPRS off since i got my phone a couple of days ago!! :oops:

I think the E200s great, and yes the batt life does suffer if everythings on, GPRS, BLUETOOTH etc, but im still happy with the phone, its very speedy and its a step up from the SPV and i still wouldnt have any other phone! :lol: sorry to the unlucky ones out there who have had problems, my e200s fine

I was disapointed with the battery life when I first got my E200. It seemed worse than my E100. But after using it for a few weeks now and completly discharging it before recharging it a few times it seems much better, about the same as the E100 really.
