I can't charge my W800i's battery more than 91%. Even I charge it all night long - more than 8 - 9 hours.
My charger is "Sony Ericsson Standard Charger CST-80", output 4,9VDC - 450mA. And the battery: "Sony Ericsson standard battery BST-37". Where could be the problem and is there any solution? Thanks.

It must be a problem with the software

???  not necessarily...it could just be a defective battery...
@roumen...perhaps you should try a different battery.. and see if it gets charged all the way....maybe try a diff charger...although i doubt it could be a charger issue...

Do you charge with the phone 'ON' or 'OFF'?

CrackerJack,
With phone Off I reach only 78% and with phone On - 91%. And I never get a mesage, that the battery is fully charged.

With the phone turned off, I normally see 'Fully Charged' when the phone is done charging. Have the whole set-up checked-out. It can be the phone, battery or charger.
If you have access to another set of phone/battery/charger, you can swap them around to see which one is the culprit. Otherwise, return it ASAP and let them sort it out.

Well, guys
What do you think? Is it a problem with the phone istelf, with the software (before updating the software I could charge up to 80%, now - after update - up to 91%) with the battery or with the charger?

well if you have checked on the charger or the battery and found nothing against it.. like its busted or wrecked...
then i might say that its the phone that has probs... if its still under warranty try for a replacement...

i think all ur batteries are jus getting worn. how long u hav them for? the longer u have the phone for and charge it. the weaker the battery gets.

I have it since 3 weeks only! It can't be a worn of the batery. Yesterday I tryed to charge it in the car - the same story - 91%, keep charging, but that's it.
Because my charger is for use in UK, next I'll will try with one for Europe.

I believe you safe your energy on this particular problem. I have this on my K750i as well. No matter how many hours you put your through the charging process, it will only give you 91% status. You'll never get a 'Fully Charged' message displayed.
I have tried charging the battery externally (using an external charger for 6 hrs), When inserted to my phone, it does show me a 100% status. From my daily usage, I feel that there is no or negligible difference between the two status. I don't think that firmware has anything to do with it, but merely, an inaccurate battery status indicator.
This is my second unit of K750i. The first unit doesn't have this problem though. |
