something weird happened and I caught it red handed.

My phone has been sitting all day without being used except for the odd call and I am constantly watching the battery to see how its doing, it has been holding up all day maybe dropped to about 80% but nothing major, I then left it for about 4 hours and got a call, when I lifted it the battery was drained, what I noticed was the GPS reciever was on yet I hadn't enabled any GPS software, I looked at running apps immediately and showed nothing yet GPS was on and the battery had been depleated, I conclude one of 2 things here, the battery indicator has been wrong all day and wasn't reflecting the true condition of the battery or the GPS reciever enabled itself and clobbered the battery over about 4 hours, either way it was what I would reguard as a sudden unexpected drain, I'm sure if I'd have left it for another hour or less it would have switched off.

Yes i suspect this too. Im not using the phone too much and the battery doesnt last more than 1 full day and especially when i use the camara (ive got the geotag option on) it seems to drain more faster after that. The same goes for other things like wifi or even the multimedia player. The battery when listen music with bluetooth is at least 2 or 3times worse than my n85 even with the screen off. For sure its a firmware problem and not only because of the 1000mh battery

I noticed that in the evening I put alarm on morning and battery status was over 75% (checked with swiss manager) at the morning when I woke up battery was 8%. Something is bugged with FW I think.

Hi is your satio Branded and/or black as the media depicts. I have no issues at present so a bit confused by all these reported problems.

My battery meter and the pc give totally different readings
I had a not so fun new bug today when the phone decided to go back in time all by itself to Jan 2000
I went to look at a pic Id taken an hour earlier and it was missing, went into messages sent and they where missing too, looked in my inbox and the time of last message was 3hrs ahead of the real time .
Nothing seems to be missing from my settings so no master reset done, however if this happens randomly my alarm will be totally stuffed.
