hey i just bought a k850i and the battery only lasts for 1 day!?!?!!
Could it be firmware problem? I have an R1CA029 firmware... Is there any newer???

1 day doesn't seem normal, I get 4-5 days out of mine on 037.

ive just had 5 days out of mine on 038, and that firmware is said to lower battery life anyway.

I get a day and a half or so and that's with switching 3G off and leaving it on EDGE. Then again I do have ActiveSync push on all day long and I do use about an hour of talk time per day

@rcjp03
The posts in this thread are 2 years old..
Anyways which firmware you're using in your K850i? Latest is R1FA035.. Battery life depends on usage but if your battery is genuine and not swollen, then it should last for at least 2-3days with the current firmware and @ normal usage.
