two P800 batteries suddenly lasting a lot less...

Hi, I've been using my P800 for a little over a year. I have two batteries and I recently (about a month ago) bought a new charger.
Last week I noticed that the P800's stand by time suddenly went from about two days to half a day... I can't get through a day with one charge now... I didn't know what was going on, so I tried the other battery. Same thing. Then I bought a new charger, same thing... So I excluded all the variables (charger, battery), hence my question: could it be the phone? I mean how can two batteries (one of which I hadn't used for many many months) both act the same, and not last longer than half a day, when until last week they were lasting about two days? Are there any fixes? Any ideas?

This might seems obvious, but try disable bluetooth, voice dialling and such things. Just guessing.

bluetooth has been On, but voice dialling off... nothing has changed in the settings, which is what I don't get!
