If there is another P990 nearby, try the battery on it to check if it is only "reported" by the phone as discharged. This will help identify f the battery is indeed defective...

it happens because it is brand new.Just use it and after 10 charges it should perform better.Remember,it's a small battery for a very power hungry phone.Nothing wrong with your phone,look around you, others have the same complaint. Just charge it daily like the rest of us and you'll be fine.

My phone has been fine until I updated the firmware. For some reason it didn't update to the latest version but it did update to a newer version than I had. Now my battery barely lasts 20 minutes from a full charge. Surely this must be software and not hardware related. Unfortunately I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment so I won't be able to run the update again for a while. Would anyone be kind enough to offer an opinion?

***UPDATE***

SE dealer has replaced my P990i . and i ve got now brand new 990i .
okay this time whn i turned on my phone 1st time .battery was 60% charged .
Phone is working perfectly . no crashes and reboot so far .
Will install Swiss manager and other software later .

Now Battery Question ....
For how many hours should i charge 1st time to get the longer battery life ?
I heard from many ppl tht one has to charge it 100% and then drain it to 0% and then charge it again to 100% . do this thing for 4-5 times and by tht way u will get the longer battery life ....

IS IT TRUE ?

Thanx
