thanks, Black Devil.
Will be taking it to the service center, but that will have to wait till the week end, as mentioned the center is a bit far from my home, I am not free during week days.
In the meantime, as a last resort, am trying to fully drain out the battery, then will see if it gets charged. Right now, it appears to get charged, but then the 100% battery level drastically drops to 4% in just one hour, then the low battery warning signs keep on coming every hour or so, but it stays at 4% all the time. Am waiting for it to completely drain out. So far that is not happenning.
This is very strange, has never happened to me before, have never had battery problems before.

Don't panic yet. Your phone seems ok, i go for battery defect. Im strong on this. If im mistaken so that's connecting problem at golden parts.
Both simple things to solve.
Take you purchase proof to replace the phone, as repaired is not so confident... Good lucky!

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.
Does anyone know how long it takes to discharge the battery after the 'low battery' warning comes?
Before I go to the service center on the weekend, I am trying to first discharge the battery fully and then charge it, maybe this works.
Anyway, the phone has been on for over 30 hours after the 'low battery ' signal, it still is not getting fully discharged, the 'low battery' sign keeps coming every hour, the battery level shows anything from 1% to 10%, but it still has not got discharged, even after 30 hours.
Is this normal? How do I get the battery to fully discharge? Does anyone know how long this takes after the 'low batt' warning?

that i don't know ... it's wierd that it holds out that long with long batery ..
something just crossed my mind ... could it be posible that your phone is emiting a false low batery signal ? for example it shows 10% but you actualy have 40% ? in any case the service center has to sort that out ...
in the meanwhile ... play a video on the phone or play some games so it discharges faster ...

Black Devil, I think you are right, that the battery signal is false. For I tried what you said, to discharge the battery faster, I am playing my MP3 songs on the phone, while the songs are playing, the battery level is showing battery almost fully charged at 90%, the green bar is full, the battery level has suddenly gone up!
This is really very strange, hope the service center can fix whatever it is. They will have to keep the phone under observation, I guess.
