My P800 eats all the power in one day. Why is that? Irda and Bluetooth are disabled. No internet conection. It is just eating. |

Yes it will do that, just try to limit the amount of time playing vids and mp3s. also check your power save options under control panel, display-
make sure screensaver comes on after 1 min, powersave after 2mins
and have the light on auto.

Also kill apps that are playing in the back (with switcher or handyday), speaking of handyday the 2.0 version also eats to much energy they fixed this in the 2.5 version. |

Go to the little wheel(?) button (second from the left) there you close apps.

Today my p800 turned off after 7 hours. The memory is not even half full, I nearly haven`t touched the phone, all apps were shut down. Bluetooth and irda are disabled. Any help? |

Turn off magic word, screen saver, light. If still eats battery fast then get it serviced/replaced.

do u leave your phone in a cold room or on cold table or next to window these can all add to it
other then that u may have a bad battery and remember the first 2 charge and disscharges of the handset will only be starting to open the cristals that hold power and so the battery wont run at peak ontill 2 full discharges after a full charge,
i hope u get this problem soylved

the other thing to keep in mind is that if you are in an area where the network signal reception is not that strong, your phone will use up more power as it works harder to maintain communications with the network.
sometimes, there are other things that can interfere with your reception. for example, when i go to a friend's house where the curtains in the room are quite thick, the signal would weaken and the remaining battery life estimate on my t68 would drop. but when i leave the house, the number of hours estimated increases again. |

I"ve noticed that the default on powersave mode is not on(I think) I went and turned on powersave mode and set it to the minumum allowed of 2mins where it shuts off the LCD..this should increase your battery life dramatically |

All of the above suggestions don't really take into account the fact that the phone has only lasted 7 hours. Thats not really very long is it?
I must admit mine gets charged virtually every night by habit, but on some occasions the battery is very low by this point.
There is apparently no consistency to it, sometimes it lasts, sometimes it doesnt although thankfully it lasts 90% of the time.
Live with it for a few more days and restart it every morning if possible... see if it improves. |

I noticed that same effect when I had used the Communicam. Apparently it was still running in the background and sucked power like a mutha. So now I always close the app using HandyDay after I used the Cam. |

I've gone through 2 phones (one was water damages and AmEx. replaced it free of charge (GO AmEx) ) and have spent considerable time in bothe NY and San Francisco - USA.
Here's the scoop. Battery life is really related to cell tower location and power.
In SF, roaming on Cingular, I get about 3 hours+ of talk time and a couple of hours of GPRS. In Westchestr, NY (i.e. semi rural (read: the burbs) but supposed to be hi tech because of all the corporate HQ's around here IBM, Phillip Morris, etc.), I get about 2 hours of talk and an hour of GPRS. Same bars on the signal meter. Standby is similar. 2-3 days in SF, 1-2 in NY area.
My calcs seems to indicate that even signal strength is 4 clicks, the phone may be using more power to get those 4 clicks, therefore the shorened batt. life.
Your mileage may vary,
