Did you lock the phone? I've found if I leave it unlocked the battery does seem to drain a lot quicker with little use.

Okay an interesting development on the battery scenario, same again i went to sleep and left it on after a full charge, difference being this time i switched it on and off first, so i wake up this morning and its on full bars still.

Interesting. Now the more interesting part is the other night when i did it, i checked facebook and MSN messenger before leaving it all night, and even though there was nothing in the connection manager i am beginning to think either wifi or the internet was on all night?

What are your thoughts? Perhaps my battery isnt faulty afterall.

I had similar problems - now mine seems fine...but i check every application is closed in background and make sure the keypad is locked i'm getting over 2 days of battery now with calls and txt and just under if i use the net a fair amount.

Does anyone know how to put the phone into all download mode ?

I found some new stuff, here:

here is a post from someone:

you can get into the flashmode by pressing HOLD and slide volume up key together while powering on (pda download mode)

Thats pretty good, another thing is:

go to this site: http://share4gsm.com/index.php?strona=search
and search for i8910, here you can see there are firmwares for download.

Tell me if you get something or if it helps!

The application needs to be symbian signed.

I'm also having the same issue and I've downloaded the latest version from about 10 different sites. None work and I get a Certificate Error !

You can use Orange maps I beleive, or as I do, use google maps, which is a very easy download from google.

Raikiri · 1 Jun 2009 at 15:57

I use Orange maps as it's included for free (even though I only pay £20 a month).

Danielkl · 1 Jun 2009 at 19:22

Is there no samsung made mapping software with the phone?

Raikiri · 1 Jun 2009 at 20:12

Not with the Orange one, no.

NiCkNaMe · 1 Jun 2009 at 21:44

When will this reach vodafone? Had a call today re: an upgrade....

just to confirm to everyone, I plugged in a tv out cable that came with on old nokia N95 and it worked fine - Omnia on the telly, then I tried it with a sony camcorder one, again, no problems, finally tried with a JVC camcorder cable - again, no problems - guess its generic.

Sweet, thanks chum

is it worth getting this phone from Orange? with most of the great applications being removed and a big Orange logo behind the phone.. hmmm..
any idea when will the official network-unlocked version come out?

TBirdUK · 2 Jun 2009 at 12:06

Well I cant knock orange service - I just called them about the battery issue - with everything switched off I am down to 2 bars in 4 hours, they have dispatched another phone to me, arriving tomorrow - its my 4th phone :mad:

!!!

Last chance - then I'll give up and get an iphone!

DAnDan · 2 Jun 2009 at 12:09

Going through battery that quick there has to be something wrong with the phone or the battery. You should still have full bars if you've not been using at all.
