Hiya guys,

When charging your t68i while on, the indicator has a solid bar that slowly moves toward the right as it charges.

While the phone is off, does the indicator act the same way for you guys?

My solid bar seems to stay at 3/4, jumping to full and coming back to 3/4 again.

I ask this question because while reading various posts I've noticed the average standby time is around 250-300hrs. My max so far is only 215. I know this is still awesome for a phone, but I was wondering if my battery was getting a full charge.

If my question doesnt make sense, let me know and i'll try to make myself more clear.

Battery indicator action can be different on on sw versions, mine does the up/down stuff whatever i do to it, do not worry about this indicator as long as it works. the charge indicator is a guide only, it`s not rocket science, just make sure that you hav`nt got a battery sucking item switched on, as the indicator will see this and tell you accordingly (ie, swich the light to "on" mode & your standby time will show a drasticly reduced time).

I forgot to mention, it can take a week or more (3 or 4 charges) before your battery starts to become really eficient, lots of shops reported hastely returned batteries on these phones when first out, which later were found to be "just not fully conditioned".
