Battery my battery lasts only for 1 1/2 day why is this so since they said 360 hours standby battery. i use it for text messages only say i consume half of its battery life, for text messages only would be 180 hrs. or even 1/3 of it is 90 hours but i only have 36 hours less of usage. all of its settings are set to settings where the unit will consume minimal power.

Settings language dictionary on/off
Must be something like that

Hi, the sales pitch is a bit of a scam when it comes to standby times for phones they base it on the phone being fully charged then left on without anybody touching it or anybody making or receiving calls from it, even touching the screen to check a message brings the battery time down loads.
so its not a fault with your phone its the same with any phone if you contacted lg they will tell you the same if the phone isnt touched or used then it will last the expected standby time but as soon as you touch it or enter the phone this time is reduced by loads.

so the standby time is a bit of a scam really as they wouldnt expect anyone not to touch their own phone or even use it during this time, so to anser your question your phone is in perfect working order its just the advertisement is not worded as it should be what they should say is the following

your phone will last xxx amount of hours if it has had a full charge then if you never touch the phone or make or receive calls or text if you do this then the standby time drops drastically.

its nothing your doing its just bad advertising on the companys behalf so your phone is working as it should its just they dont state that you cant use your phone during this time to get the maximum standby time stated.

a con i know but they get round it by saying the phone will last on standby for this time but what they should say if the phone will last this long if you never use it during this time.

you can try it by doing this give the phone a full charge then remove your sim card then switch the phone on then just leave it like that dont touch it then just wait until you get the warning for flat battery then you will have some idea of what im going on about. touch it and the time will drop drastically.

let me know if i can assist you further.

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated post, thanks

Hi one reason batterys dont last as long as they should is that when you charge them up they never achieve full charge and some cells will only take between 50 and 65 % charge, what you should now try is letting the battery go totally flat so that your phone wont even light up when you try switching it on keep doing this until the battery is totally dead, then give it a full recharge, you should now find it lasts a lot longer, you should aim to do this once a month to ensure you battery stays at its best, they dont tell you this when you buy the phone but it is common knowledge in the phone industry.

give it a try and you should be surprised what you find.

How ever you cant always believe what the phone adverts tell you because their are heavy duty batteries you can buy for certain phones, but if you think you have a good case of false advertisement then contact the phones makers and have a word with them they may even send you some free extras as they like to keep their customers happy,

You also got to remember that standby time means 17 days if the phone is not used and no one rings it say you take the sim card out then give it full charge, then with the sim card out see how long the battery lasts then this will give you some idea of the things that use the battery up such as alarms, people ringing, texts, even when you press a button this uses power to light the screen up so you can only rely on standby time if the phone is sitting their doing nothing.

i hope this as been some help to you

If the troubleshooting section in the back of the user guide doesn't help, I sugget getting in touch with Sony and asking them if it's normal, the only thing I can suggest in the meantime, is taking the battery out while it's not in use, or recharge it a few hours before you're due to use it. Phones get like it after a few years and with technology advancing the way it is these days, you'd expect a battery life lasting longer than a week, not a day.

Things to consider:
1. When it's off, is it off or left on standby?
2. Where did you buy both the camera and batteries from?
3. When you charge it up, do you charge it up with a half charged battery or a totally dead battery?

Depends on your firmware. Updating your firmware on the somsaung site will prolong your battery life. Mine used to last about 2hours with heavy repative use. Music, gps, video etc. Standby would last about a day and a half with a few calls. Now it lasts about 4-5hours with heavy use and standby up to about 4 days with calls here and there.

I saw on another forum two good tips.

1. Do not use a case with a magnetic clip.

2. Take off the battery cover and put tape over the two small etched squares that you can see one at each end on the inside of the cover.

I did this and up to now my battery has doubled its life. Still two bars after 1.5 days of medium use.

It depends on how much talking your doing. The Slvr is known for its low talk-time battery power. My slvr would last about 3 to 4 days on a charge, unless i was talking on it a lot. sometimes i would be charging it every other day. So it really all depends on the talk-time. Invest in a car charger for sure.

I looked up the battery specs for your phone. They are 3 X 200mah= 600mah battery packs. They should last 8 hrs talk time with the headsets. This style of battery pack in my experience only last about 1 1/2years and sometimes longer and "sometimes" shorter...much shorter. I bet you never had problems when you first got them. Basicly this "battery design arrangment" goes back many years before newer battery technlogy was developed. But designers still insist on using them even today. They are cheap to make. ****Time to replace them with new ones.**** Make sure you follow the mfgs charging instructions: "After battery installation, place the handsets in their base unit or charger and allow to charge for 16 hours before use. You can keep the battery charged by returning the handsets to their base unit or charger after each use. When the battery is fully depleted, a recharge takes about 12 hours. Average talk time on a fully charged battery is about eight hours depending on environmental conditions, standby time is approximately four days." Good luck
