I too am less than impressed with the battery life. It seems to run down really quickly.
Also, is it possible to charge the phone using the USB cable? My mate has connected his to his PC but says it isn't doing anything. |

Yes you can charge the phone with the usb, you just have to choose it in the usb-menu on the phone. |

Go into the Service Menu (see first post of this thread for instructions) and under Service Settings there is an option to turn Charging On or Charging Off. This controls the USB charge setting.
Charged my phone to full power (although it always reports 99%, never goes to 100%) just before I went to bed (about 12.30am) and when I woke up this morning (about 6.15am) the battery was down to 84%.
I cannot believe you can lose that much power when the phone is idle! I am also sure that it never did this prior to the 038 update! |

I can't see anything relating to Service Settings. Either on my phone or on the first page. Am I being blind?
My battery has gone from 21% to 15% overnight. Not bad you may thing but my phone was turned off!!!! |

Lets hope SE realise that this firmware has a battery drain issue and sort it in the next firmware! |

But that just tells me what version of the software I've got. It doesn't take me to any menu where I can adjust any settings. Pressing that combination of buttons doesn't do a thing either. |

Go to the Service menu and then choose "Service settings" and "Charging off", if it's turned off.
