😮 strange thing happen to my P800 yesterday.....before going off to sleep, my P800 was fully charged, but strangely when i woke up this morning, my beloved P800 was off and when i switched it on, the battery is low....my P800 is only 4 mths old, and i have never done or overused it to the extreme..meaning never overcharged it or something....anyone encountered the same problem? :roll:

No, Not yet anyway. I leave it off the cradle all night and the battery hardly suffers at all. Since I installed Handy day I make sure any unnecessary app. are turned off.

Since I installed App forge the battery life is slightly less, but still, it doesn't suffer overnight.

Make sure you set the backlight and the stand by functions on automatic, that will also help.

Good luck...to all of us.

I experienced the same thing yesterday. I slept with my phone battery still around 90%. When i got up i saw my fone flashing that 10 second thing, meaning it hang up on me during the night. So i reset it and saw the battery stil 70% full. Imagine my surprise when i arrived in my office an hour later to see my fone battery almost empty! Good thing i have an extra charger in my office so i ended up charging it there and using my extra fone. Anyway i noticed that it took more than the usual time to recharge my P800 this time. Whereas charging time usually takes around 2 hrs, this time it took around 4. Anyway evrything looks ok after that. I am still monitoring its performance. Hope everything will be back to normal. I will keep you posted

I had the same thing a few weeks back. Went to sleep with 93% battery level and woke up with 3%!

My only guess is that all the people I know that are desperate to try out a P800 came into my room while i was asleep that night and played around on it till the morning, then cuningly put it back! Either that or there was some sort of battery problem, but my money's on the first guess!
