Do those with battery probs leave bluetooth on?
I turned it off just before i went away last week ... on 038 -Between the morning of 31st till 7th I only charged it up once while away, and then wasn't a long charge.
That said, I didn't make that many calls as I was abroad, but did use the cam/mp3 a lot.
just tried benchmarking but when I try to upload it barfs and gives me the html code of a vodafone page saying 'access denied'! - or in the net one it has the code for a page that says "Please exit and restart the application for an accurate measurement"

I never leave bluetooth on, only thing that maybe seem like it would use some battery is the HSDPA signal, but i had that with v37 as well.
Does anyone know a way to get the version 37 back without having to pay?
Does SE even know about this issue?

I never leave Blutooth on either. I don't even have 3G on, I dread to think how long the battery would last if I did!!
I only got 37 hours out of it after about 80 texts!!

the best way to downgrade (or uppdate) your firmware from 038 to 037 is to DPY flash it (using EMMA server)...can only be done by your local
work shop...(think also its the only way).
i allways uppdate my firmwares that way...MUCH better
so yes it possible
ps..its of course free to uppdate your fimrware with DPY flashning...but now you want to downgrade..ask nice and it should be ok
pss...tomorow i going to downgrade my own k850 to 029, (liked 029 better.....much (normaly) better battery life....we have a
work shop just some meters from their i live

I'm on version 037, and for every 24hrs, my battery drops 25 % from full charge ie 98%, and the last 50% drops faster and is completely depleted in 30 hrs.
My average routine is:
1. 3G on always, sometimes phone switches to EDGE or 2G
2. Total talk time in 24 hrs ~45min
3. bluetooth only on when actually sending/receiving stuff
4. 10-15 sms/mms in 24hrs
5. 2-3 photos with flash
With 3G off, battery can last up to double the time.
I shudder to think that ver 038 gives worse battery lifespan

wow i dont know why some of you have battery problems with your k850's. im on 037 and my battery lasts a very long time. I fully drained and charged (8 hour charge) my battery 2 days ago and after 50 hour something my battery is at 46%.
edit** im on 3g network 90% of the times and make a couple of video calls a day.
I use bluetooth for about an hour a day while driving.
take around 10 shots a day with/without flash
send 10 sms messeges a day, averaging 80 minutes a day talk time

I've now turned off almost everything and removed an animated screensaver.
Last night I charged up the phone to full, havent used it today for anything other than a dozen texts and right now the meter bar is showing as almost full maybe 85% but the settings in profile are showing as only 63 %

i realy dont think that 037 have good battery life...thinks its sucks like 038
i had 029 for several months...no problem with UI or some other things..(of course the mediaplayer is little slow when i listen to music)...BUT I HAD AWESOME BATTERY LIFE...i realy believe that 029 is the only firmware with good battery......037 & 038 have the same worse battery.
im going back to 029, and wait to spring/summer when a real firmware comes....easily
