W900i Battery life

SIB · 22 Mar 2006 at 13:44

How many charges does it take for the W900i to reach optimum battery life ? My phone has had 3 charges so far (first was for 16 hours, the others were just until the battery was full). I had almost a full battery today, 1 bar from max, and after watching 3G TV for 45 minutes, the phone just died. Surely that can't be right ? The battery seems to go down a hell of a fast on this even when not watching TV and only making a few calls

Dont know if this helps, but my W800i's battery went dead after a few hours with minimal use. Turns out to be a faulty phone and got a replacement one and its working fine now.

Videos kill off the battery life very fast.
I dont know if its on on yours, but having Bluetooth on doesnt help either.

Agreed, my new w900 is only lasting a day (mostly because I use mobile TV/sky news a lot as well as bluetooth) so I will be doing an exchange soon to see if I can get a better battery. Having these things on doesn't help.

Cheers guys,
I don't mind the short battery life as it's no hassle to charge the battery when it needs it. Provided my phone or battery isn't faulty as that was my main worry. I only switch bluetooth on when i need it and only view mobile TV over my lunch hour
