I have a W550i and whatever I do with it like just capture a simple pic with it the battery goes down from like 98% to 96% and I think when I talk with it the battery just drain faster than K750i ?.. is it my firmware I have R4B in it or is it the battery itself?.. any advice and thanks |

welcome here! it could be batt problem, but pls notice, that a batt reaches its best standby and talk time after several chargings, mainly within 2 monthes.

I'd say u have no problem with it. A camera consumes quite some energy when shooting. I think u might know there r other issues affecting the battery time like enviroment, coverage, talk-time. Don't worry, just use it normally and if u can get at least 2 days out of it,it's ok. The battery will run optimal after 10 charges.

@boba - I think you can NEVER GO wrong with an 'original' battery  In this case, ALL of the  orig batts says: optimized charging when it starts . . . Also, which do you think consumes power MOST amongst these: call/camera/video/ or gaming

I've noticed the battery indicator tends to vary quite wildly sometimes, after a call or messing about with the camera the indicator can go down to yellow, but check a bit later and it's gone back green and up to 65% or something!

@mrs - Yeah . . . I am contemplating between: calls/video Using the video utilizes both sounds (audio) and images (video) too . . . which really consumes a lot of power. Welcome to Esato . . .

yesterday I went to a 2006 party and i used my camera and video it consumed like 15% of the battery but then I used it for calling for like 1 hour and 15mins it consumed like 30% of the battery and I used the camera for like 1 hour or 2 hours and i was using K750i |

the batt power is very effected by reception, cam, calls etc as we all know. i do noticed in k7, d7 and w8 ( and in k6 aswell ), that after a longer usage when the indicator shows less bars, if u dont touch the fone ca half hour long, one ( sometimes 2 ) bars more will be shown again. i noticed the same once in t65.

@mrs - H m m m m, OK then. May I just ask you then how minutes were consumed when you took the VIDEO Also, taking pics for 1-2 hours, I was wondering how many FRAMES would those be as well Are you using the STOCK 64 MB memory card on your K750i? Thanks !

@mrs - OK, 256 MB card is BIG enough I guess. I thought you were using the 'stock' - 64 MB one.
