Do you know if it is a problem with the battery or the phone?
I was on the phone with SE and they told me that they werent aware of this happening(I've read multiple cases of this on Esato) and to let my phone drain to see if i need a new battery or a firmware upgrade.
Thanks

my batt used to drain v quick til i turned constant gprs signal off. now my phone only looks for a gprs signal when i wanna use gprs. takes a second or so extra for it to connect to gprs but get loads longer frommy battery.
oh yeah, batt life also depends on where you are and how hard your phone has to work for a signal. for example, if you are at work and there is a transmitter near by your phone does not have to work so hard. say you have a few days off and go to the country side or where ever and the transmitter is a little further away, your phone will have to work harder to keep a signal and so batt life will drain quicker.

How do you set your gprs signal to only activate when you need it?

goto the main menu -> connect -> data comm -> pref. service -> GSM only
change it back when you want to leave GPRS on.
personally, I leave it on all the time and I still get 280+ standby when fully charged,
so i think those that have 48hours have some problems since it really isnt likely that it'd be so low when fully charged, even if you turn everything on.

Hi.
I've exactly the same problem with 14 days old T68i.
I've charged it 4 times and I had about 280h standby time. But after that I have suddenly only 55h standby, but 8h talk time after full (2h) charging. I'm not using my phone to much.
So, I've turned off GPRS, release battery and gave it back - and now I've mine 280h standby back:-). So I don't know where was mistake...

Despite hearing horror stories about the volume slider, over the past day i have been checking the status quite a few times. The standby numbers have flucuated three different times, one number is the high number at 105, next is 32 and 12. I dont know what the deal is.
Para: I tried what you said and it seems to have worked. Who knows if it'll stick though. We'll soon find out. Did it seem to permanently fix your problem? If so, have you tried to switch it back to gprs gsm?
Thanks

Actually I've turned GPRS on right after I've put battery back and checked standby time and it behave corretly (280h and countdown). It seems software checks all potential juice consuming during charging and after then calculate somehow standby time. Weird. But I did it yesterday, so I need wait a few days till next recharge to do more experiments:-). We will see...
