Bluetooth problem

3 replies · 1,196 views · Started 01 November 2002

Anyone who�ve had a bluetoothproblem and didn�t also get battery problems? I�ve read some threads here indicating that there are lot of problems with bluetooth combined with battery problems. I don�t really care about bluetooth, only bout the battery.

What kinda of problems?

The battery lasts ages when the intial novelty of the phone wears off a little. You know what its like, you get a new toy and can't stop playing with it! All that fiddling keeps the backlight on, thats what drains the battery... With bluetooth activated (syncing a couple of times daily and sending files to the PC) and taking/making around 8 calls a day, sending/reading about 10 texts a day I can get a good 4 days on one charge.

You can get 3rd party 1100mah batteries if you can't be bothered to top the phone up every night....

what!!! 4 days ?? that's cooll how can u do that ?? even if i just standby the phone without using any game the maximum is only almost 2 days

4 days is right - barely. More like 3 and a half I suppose. I'm on nights, so my 'days' aren't typical 😞

I don't think letting the battery go down so far so often is good for it...

Maybe your battery is buggered? Did you charge it like they tell you to for its first charge? That can make a big diff. apparently.
