Calm down. That's pretty normal under average to extensive use. Especially if your K800i is a bit old.

This happens when your phone has a lot time of use. You should change your battery or maybe its time to buy a new one. Cellphones are really sensible, its like a kid whe have to take care of them. Dont charge it a lot cause this will cause a overcharged of your phone and this cause a big damage.If you are still having problems with your phone go to a near provider they will know what to do.

Well for a heavy usage that's normal imho... My old K800 used to keep it up like that since I bought it, til the last day of owning it.  So I would say it is normal and there is nothing to worry about.

this is incorrect. Modern mobiles use lithium batteries. The battery chargers for these batteries are designed to prevent overcharging by not trickle charging the battery. When the battery is fully charged the charger stops supplying current to the battery. You can leave the battery on charge all night without damaging the battery or affecting it's lifecycle.
You can confim this by feeling the battery charger in the morning - you will see that it is not warm - if it was charging all night the charger would be warm to the touch.
Also lithium batteries do not suffer memory affect so the best way to ensure you don't run out of battery is to put it on charge every night. You won't cause any ill effect if you do this. I do so with all my mobiles and I've never had to buy a new battery for any of my phones that use lithium batteries.

I agree. It's quite normal to charge the batteriy on a K800i every 2nd day. The only possible drawback that might cause some damage to the phone with charging the battery more often that I can think of is that the fastport connector may become more worn out than normal. |

Heck.. i charge my battery every night.. As long as you have steady electric supply why should you be bothered? 2 days is good enough IMHO.. unless you're somewhere in the Brazilian rain forests.
