Short Battery Life/Warm battery Question

4 replies · 2,426 views · Started 18 May 2005

I got my sendo 2nd hand off of Ebay UK, In the US i run on attwireless/cingular

My sendo seems to get warm and the battery life isnt that long.....

I need a way to correct this problem, any ideas? I love the phone its o fun to play with i havent tried running mp3s on it but i imagine that the battery would burn real fast then....

any tips?

is the battery new? if so, wait until you cycle through two or three full discharge/charge cycles then you should be ok. you may want to ask the original owner that question.

get used to having a warm ear

the battery is used i suppose by him!

Do you think that if my phone was in "roaming" it would eat up more battery than usual and that would also cause for it to get/turn hot?

Another idea instead of the network settings being set to automatic if i set them to specifically "cingular" and 1900 would that also help??

depends on if you roam a lot i would imagine. i do know that when you roam, the phone is working a little harder jumping between the frequencies... so i imagine it would use more of the battery and it would be a little warmer (assuming you mean while talking).

ok, so i let the battery totally run down on sunday and on tuesday the battery was again needing charged. the life on the sendo battery seems to be a bit on the low side, any other suggestions?
