Does anyone else have problems with their c905 and battery life? This is the 3rd c905 i have had now due to the various problems, all my others lasted around 2 days, with this one it only last’s for 15hours! With no calls, occasionally texting and internet use, surely this is not right!?

addition to "superleeds27"s techniques

Mobile networks - GSM/3G networks set to GSM only.
No flash wallpapers or themes so get rid of dusk setting as nice as it is!

...whilst you at it, just switch the phone off altogether. That should save you enough battery life to not use the nitty gritty features that came with your phone.

For how long have you used your C905? The lithium polymer batteries used in modern phones need a "burn-in" period, and reach their peak capacity after a couple of charge/uncharge cycles. The battery capacity will probably improve noticeably after a couple of charging cycles.

Well, have patience, then. I believe that the battery capacity will improve.

A Huddersfield town fan and a leeds fan have something in common!? Haha this doesn’t happen very often!

Thing is, yes i leave Bluetooth on all the time for my car kit, but i am using the phone in exactly the same way i did with the other c905’s i had that lasted around 2 days, however i went to the carphone warehouse lastnight and asked them if they would change the battery for me, and they have done so just going to see how i get on with this new battery.
