Grrrr, charged my phone last night and have not used it for calls or texts (only the alarm this morning) and its already at 78%. Useless!
I have no doubt SE will sort this out in the next firmware, they do usually get the major bugs sorted (as was pointed out a few posts back regarding the K700i battery issue) but it is frustrating using the phone in the mean time.
Ordered my W960i 10 minutes ago so I should get that tomorrow. I'll only be using my K850i when I go out to take pictures, the rest of the time I can use the W960i.

Hi, guys.
I read every of your posts, but I don't write because till now I didn't have to tell you anything.
But now I have a big problem: since yesterday the camera shutter doesn't open at all. I tried about 50 times and nothing happens. The camera is turned on on the display but only black picture....
Please don't advice me to reflash the phone because for other reasons i did that two times today through davinci

This happened to my phone within the first 2 weeks of me getting the phone.
I had to send it back and get a new one.
Im not sure if there is a fix out there, but o2 just sent me a new phone.
Obviously the phone is within the 12 months warranty so you should be able to get a new one or get it fixed.

Yes, I have a 2 year warranty but the terms are not very good. I mean I have to wait 30 days if I take the phone to the service... or if they know about the problem and just give me another phone...

They do know about this, it is a very common fault with the first K850 phones.
Argue your case if they try to not give you a new phone immediatly.

Its got to be something to do with the software that is draining the battery. Its nothing to do with usage, 3G, Bluetooth, searching for a signal or anything.
When I had 037 I could easily get 5 days out of it, which isn't too bad. I haven't used my phone since my last charge on Wednesday night, I didn't let it charge fully so I don't think it got to 100% cause when I checked it the following morning it was at 75%, it is now at 61%. That'd be pretty reasonable if that was the consumption when I was using it.
I honestly don't know what usage habits you have but I could Never dream of 5 days on my K850 (037 f/w). I've only had the phone for 2 weeks and so far IF I get 40 hours of it I'm happy. Then again I spend about an hour/day on the phone, and browse the web with the RSS feeds quite a bit.
What really helped me extend my battery life on my HTC TyTN was a little applet that switch 3G OFF so that the phone worked on GPRS/EDGE. This was VERY convenient because I didn't really need high speed until I was streaming video or something, all in all it added 15-20 hours of usage on the HTC. I wonder if there is such an applet or way to do it on the Sony Ericsson phones...
