When pressing the slide button on the side on the T68 which brings up status, my standby reads as 8 hours max, fully charged!I read a post where someone else was talking of their "extremly" short battery life of "only two days"-but i have to charge each and every day!Isn't most people's T68 battery life 200+ hours? Can anyone suggest reasons for my pathetically short battery life, and what i can do to help the situation? Taking it back to my dealer isn't really an option, since I bought it offline from ebay, and it is Malaysian spec, and i'm in England. Help anyone?! |

check the settings for example display light... if you have the light turned on all time you get much shorter battery time... the same goes with the bluetooth settings.. |

from my experience, battery life increases as you charge your battery over and over again. this is especially true if the phone/battery is new.

thanks guys-Cytech in particular! The display light was the problem, and as soon as I switched it onto automatic, the battery went from 3 1/2 hours to 130! I don't half feel stupid though!! |

You may have a 'dud battery', if you take it to your nearest Service Center, they'll do a check on it and give you a new one. But I had the same problem in the beginning, which really pissed me off, but now it's fine and lasts a week...  |
