May be there is something wrong with your battery. I'm really surprised with my 995 battery. I charge it every 2 days.

Which firmware do you have? When i had this phone the latest firmware ends with 035 and battery life was fine. How long you had it? If its still within 28 days i would return it for exchange

it shouldn't be....i think you deserve a free replacement if it is still under warranty

Do I have to get a new phone or can I ask for a new battery? |

Could be a faulty battery. Where did you get it from? Most stores now have a 28 day faulty exchange. Just tell them your battery runs flat too fast. But are you using it ALOT? I know some people at work who never give their phones a rest in any part of the day with constant use. They then moan the battery is dead too quick.

I listen to music everyday 40 minutes in the morning (headphones) and maybe 15 minutes more thourghout the day throught speakers.
Use the camera here and there but no photo montage just taking random shots 
And I check Facebook on my browser now and then but it doesint take long
I got the phone from my carrier Cellcom on cantract. |

Oh so it was distance selling on contract. You should still be within your rights though. Sounds like you dont constantly hammer your phone daily then. Could be a faulty battery. Also how is your network coverage? Do you have a decent signal at home? If you have poor signal that causes the phone to use more power and operate at a higher power.

If it's unlocked via online unlocking program You have a damaged GDFS trim area and You must to repair this trim area. This GDFS contains security paramatars, battery calibration and etc. Change the battery with new one or from other phone. |

I've never had a decent standby time since 3 phones ago, my P990, W902 and now W995. And it has a lot to do with my usage pattern so I wouldn't know what would be the normal standby times for these phones. They usually last no more than a day so I have a car charger and a USB cable connected to my work PC so in short, my phones have always been charged at all times saving me any headache since I turn on the web, shoot pictures and listen to music whenever and wherever I can which, I believe is in the power user category. Therefore battery life has never been an issue for me. But judging from the model alone (BST-38), it wouldn't have an impressive battery life since it's the same one used for the much lesser specced W902

Wow 
Alot of chargers 
So I guess W902 lasts longer than W995?
The reason im so obsessed is because people here say thier phone lasts for 2 and a half - 3 days  |
