Hi, i just bought the SE V600i. The phone has been flashed into K600i R2T002. However, I'm very disappointed with this phone, the battery life is so terrible. The battery will reduced from 100% until 45% in 12 hours WITHOUT ANY USAGE at all! I found that the battery is little warm. What problem is that?

No, I'm using GSM only. And it's confirm not the battery problem because I have tried with my friend's battery.

goto Settings then the Connectivity menu then Mobile Networks then 3G/GSM settings

and set it to GSM ONLY

Thats what i had to do on my W900i as where i was using a GSM only sim it was constantly searching for a 3G network so it was wasting the battery!

Hope this helps!

Already did that, and the result still the same. It seems like the problem is from the phone...

How long ago did you buy it? Re-grade the Firmware to R2AD004 if you can. My V600i is on that and the battery does go down quite a bit but the battery hasn't had its bed in yet, just bought it on Friday last week. So it might be fine.

let it check in sE service, it could be fw or hw bug. but check your batt and charger aswell, those could cause such bugs too.
