Ok... Here's the thing...
I have a Nokia 6630 phone, I bought it 4-5 days ago. It's working just fine, and it is everything I expected it to be, even more! However, there is only one thing that is bugging me... And that's the battery life!
The battery drains VERY quickly! I have to recharge it every night!
When recharged, the phone shows that the battery is 100% full, and stays like that for 8 hours (during that time, I watch a few movies with SmartMovie, or play a few songs with OggPlay, and shoot some photos). However, when the battery level (eventually) drops one level down, then the problem begins... After that first drop, only after 15 minutes of use, the level drops down to 50%! If i use the phone for another 20 minutes, it goes down to 25%! And after another 20 minutes, it goes down to the last level! The phone works on that last level for a few hours, until it starts displaying the "battery low" message. Then it's time for recharging... Many report that their N6630 works like a charm and that they recharge it every 3-4 days! What should I do? What am I doing wrong? Bluetooth is off, and I have set the phone to GSM mode only (as I have read that some people are having trouble with "dual mode" turned on). I don't see any additional apps running in the background, and I don't have any running programs that are using GPRS. (I think)
Any suggestions? :con?

Might be an obvious answer but is the phone new or bought of a friend because if the battery wasn't charged properly when it was first intially charged(16 hours of charge), then the standby time decreases dramatically. Soultion fork out some money on a new battery😎
Agree. Without bluetooth and 3G, it shoul last far...
