Battery lasts only two days

Do you have Bluetooth on all the time? I find with my 7610 that it does draw a lot of power and runs the battery down.

Also, I work in a building with little or no signal available which leads to my battery being drained whilst the phone continuously seeks out available cells. The same thing occurs when travelling a fair distance by car or train; the phone seeks out new cells and it draws current from the battery.

However, if you don't have Bluetooth on constantly and usually have a full signal it could be a bad battery.

Hope that helps.

Sometimes if you have animated screen savers too they make you life low!!

Also try not to over charge the phone either knackerd my battery out once!!

I had this problem with 7610 couple of weeks ago. In fact, mine one was even worst as the battery only lasted for a day or less (without making any phone calls or whatsoever). First I thought it was the battery life problem so I went and bought a new one (it cost me $90.00!!) but it still has the problem. Some experts told me that it could be a virus! I have checked a couple of site and found there is one kind of virus exist which drains your battery really quickly. Here is the site, try and download the 30 trial version and update anti-virus and do a full scan of it. See if that solve your problem, well it solved mine. 😃

This is very poor. Anyone have the same problem? Any solution (except going out and buying a new battery!)

If you don't already know how to do this, you need to press and hold down the menu key, and a sidebar should appear displaying an icon for each program that's running. If no programs are meant to be running, the only icon that should display is one labelled as "telephone". If there are any other icons, select them, press "c" and this should kill the application.

My brother recently had this problem when I installed some games on his 7610. Some of the cracked/emulators can be a bit buggy, and quite often don't shut down properly. He didn't realise this, and managed to drain his battery in just over a day.

One other thing that you might also want to check is, are you conditioning the battery correctly? In other words, are you letting it discharge completely (or as much as possible) before recharging it fully. If you just keep giving the battery small top-up charges when it's not very low, this can easily knacker it out and effect the standby time too.

Hope the above info is of some help.

With modern li-ion batteries this is not an issue. On the contrary, running down a li-ion battery considerably shortens it's life. In my view for li-ion/polymer batteries it is best to re-charge when 30-40% level is left. There is also no harm in frequent top up charging. Then once in a few weeks let it go to 5-10% and then re-charge. More important is to let the temperature of phone equalise before re-charging. Also high temperatures affect the life of the battery.

Always on, my 7610 lasts 3-4 days of moderate use and 2 days with heavy use.

I actually have stopped worrying about battery life. I simply need to get a full day's heavy use out of it. If my phone does not meet that criteria then it is bye bye. Batteries are cheaply available here, especially non-Nokia that work reasonably well to really bother about 2 days or 3 days or 4 days. Simply charge it every night and forget about it and then replace the battery every year or 18 months. Or by that time anyway one is thinking of replacing the phone itself.
