Ok Is It Normal For My Battery Life To Be From The Morning To The Late Night With Minual Use. I Dont Really Do Much With My Phone But Its Always Seems To Be Getting Me Very Bad Battery Life. It Dies Way To Fast Its This Normal I Dont Have Any Files Running He Backgroung, I Think How Do You Check On That? I Do It With File Manager. Thanks For Reading....it Last For Less Then One Day...i Do Use It As Mp3 Player Sometimes I Think I'm Just Going To Buy A Car Charger Or An Extra Battery To Solve My Problem, Thanks Again

Mine does the same thing. Why is this? I wish there was something I could do about that. My 6820 had bluetooth switched on all the time with no battery issues. :-|

i had 3 things open like contacts, notes, FExplorer does that really kill the battery?

not so much, maybe fexplorer would more than the others, btw to properly close a program hit the exit button not the hang up button

maybe we didn't screw it up, maybe they just have a short battery life 🙄

hmmm, just for your information. My BL-5C battery last for 63 hours approximately... thus... I will need to charge in 2 to 3 days.

no but i'm just going to leave it like that, i dont mind charging it everyday

I have my 6620 since 7 or 8 days now, and i have worked on it every day and the battery is very good, i did re charged it, but not every day.
One thing i did, is instaled it on charger for 24 h before using it at the beginning.

My suggestion...

Buy a OEM BL-6C battery...

It last more than 3 days, with a lot of usage.....

You can find some OEM ones on Ebay, for about 15$US
