I bought a W800i on O2. It seems to discharge completely within a day without making any phone calls or actively using it.

The problem is so severe that I went into the 'phone status' menu looked at the battery was 36% then I browsed a few functions, changed the wallpaper and went back into 'phone status' and the battery was 34%

I think the battery is discharging a lot quicker than it should. Has anybody experienced similar problem? Whats the resolution?

For information, the software info says R1N035 if that makes any difference.

TIA,

SP

I posted a similar enquiry on here, but met quite a few negative responses. I've been monitoring mine closely, and I think there is a bug in the firmware associated with music player usage that causes the battery to occasionally drain much quicker than it should. Since doing a full reset of my phone, battery life again seems good again.
