Charge doen't last long. Plug it to charge, it starts charging, then it turns off and stops charging. Spoke to t-mobile. They say it's a known software issue and that i need a new phone because i'm out of warranty (sounds like planned obsolesence to me; Y2k built in to self destruct after x years ;) ). is there a software fix? If so, how to i get it?
I had the same problem, but replacing the original battery sorted it out. I also had the other software problem these phones are known for, where they suddenly switch off for no good reason. Remarkably, replacing the battery has fixed that problem, too! Don't bother looking for a Siemens battery. You can get an after-market replacement for around $20 online. You might be on to something about the planned obsolesence, though--my original charger just suddenly failed today. Fortunately an after-market replacement was pretty easy to come by.
