Bookmark topic
Hi,
I searched, but couldnt find this topic!
I got my k750i on 1st july.
iv bin charging my phone every other day, ever since i got it coz its bin dying on me.....but iv bin told by my brother and friends to charge the battery for atleast 16 hours (but the booklet says 2 hours) for the first couple weeks, until it gets use to it and then charge until its fully charged everytime it dies.
btw, yes i have bin listening to music, radio, takin pics and watchin vids on my fone....but not for hours...only couple a minutes every day!
Any help? thnx

It sounds like youve got a faulty battery, so i recommend you to hand it in for repair. But sometimes the bad standby can be solved with a new firmware. Update on the SE webpage.

No, no, no the manual says to charge it for 4 hours the first time. It says this not only in the manual, but also in the brochure for how to get started. They couldn't have made it any more clear cut, do not pay any attention to the 16hr nonsense perpetuated by morons. I nearly fell for it when dialaphone came out with that crap.
Just ask yourself the question, who knows better how to care for the phone?, the guys who make them?, or the guys who sell them?. Clear cut really.
As for mine it lasts two days (not nights) which is really good, every other phone i've had have only lasted 1 day, included my T630 which struggled to get through a full day.

I found with my P910 that the battery life was very bad when I first got it. I basically ignored the instructions in the manual (my work doesn't allow me to let the battery drain completely and charge for 16 hours or whatever etc.) and so I'd just stick it on charge when I got home and leave it overnight, apart from when I was using it of course. Basically I'm saying that I just put it charge whenever I could.
After about three weeks, the battery life started to improve and now I can get at least a good three days of moderate usage on a single full charge.
I'd give it at least a couple of more weeks; just charge it whenever you can for as long as you can (with the phone switched on) and see if it improves. If it doesn't, take it back to where you bought it from because as somebody has already said, you could have a faulty battery or phone.
But I doubt it. I think you'll find that the battery life gradually improves over time

It won't hurt the battery at all, especially if you leave the phone switched on while it's charging

mine and my friends phone lasts up to a max of 3 days, but thats with messing around on the phone, some radio, music etc, last week I just let it drop to around 4% and then charged it all night, it seems better now, but its the way these things are, more power and functions=more drain on battery.

The network signal can have an effect too, I've noticed on various phones that I can get an extra day or so out of a single charge when in a full signal strength area, and less in an area where it's weak (like where I live!)
