Hi I am sorry - I am repeating this post as a NEW Topic. I have asked in couple of Topics about the issue as mentioned below in the topic, but since didn't receive any comments I thought of putting it as a fresh New Topic...
-----
The Problem: I bought BST-33 battery for k800i from eBay and I believe its fake as its not charging the battery. Also its only 770mAH and looks like made in 2003. It had just little charge as all batteries do, and then when I started charging the battery completely went dead. The phone worked ok when it had little power with no problems. I charged the battery for 9+ hours (with Phone OFF) but it instead started loosing its capacity. I think its the battery which is stale and not charging. Also I did see a "steady" red light when the battery is low...then I just left it for sometime and the red light near infrared went away and its started charging...kept it for sometime...tried to power ON the Phone...the Phone turned ON and then later turned off since the battery status was still 0% and not charging at all. Since the battery was not charging and turned off the Infrared port again showed steady RED light.
Is the RED light (steady...not flashing and no beeps) by nature in SE phones? I believe someone told me that the Light comes when the batter is Below 5%....Do you think its something to do with the EROM? Also The Original Battery is not with me as we were on a vacation when we bought this phone and forgot the NEW battery in the box back at our aunt's place and since she lives overseas...I bought a battery from eBay....for $1.99 and when it came it looked as if its fake....
Any comments would be appreciated...especially the steady red light near infrared port.
