maybe your running an old firmware version. try to upgrade it to one of the latests.

Latest firmware is the best. It has less bugs and more reliability when using the phone... And about charging, I always charge the phone during the night. Never got any problems with overcharging or whatever.

I think you have a fake battery.

Fake, old and long time no used batteries may result in having short running time. Try charging the battery fully (to 100%) and draining it to 0% then. Repeat that process 3 or 4 times and see what happens.

that method doesn't really apply to lithium batteries. It sounds like the battery needs replacing.

hello everybody
maybe u dont have a good signal, if u set ur phone for 3G n u get a poor signal, the battery consumption will much bigger than usual, sorry for my english
Posted by Nixxi
3G eats up battery life like a monster. But in some places, though I didnt search for networks, it just pops up, and there goes about 5% of my battery.
Can this be disabled or something?
Posted by ayejatt
it can be disabled...go to setting, connectivity, mobile networks, there is 3G/GSM option, chose GSM only.
