I'm having a problem with this phone running batteries down uickly. I'veturned off the bletooh and bought a new battery just to see if the old one was bad. I also notice the the back if the phone feels a little warm to me. What could be causing it to drain these batteries. The longest time I get out of a battery is 8hrs. without any talking on the phone.
The problem may be that thew pins that connect to the battery are not interfacing properly. They may be bent or completely broken off underneath. This causing the phone unable to recieve a proper charge. If you have a steady hand , the pins can be resawderd on and it will work like brand new
a good way to save up battery life is to lower your brightness... sometimes dimming it to the lowest level can spare many hours of battery life, also shortening ur display times.
you can do this by: go to the main menu settings initital set up
now: set display timeout to 1 minute or any lower option if available(not off) set backlight to 20 seconds or less if possible then set brightness to 0 unless the battery is defective to a point in which it is useless this should spare you some very needed battery life
all my instructions were for the RAZR's using the cingular OS if you have a verizon you can still do it i just dont know the details
