Hey everyone,
Great forums! I have been lurking here for a while, and thought I'd chime in with a question to start my posting career.
I have had my T68i about 3 weeks now, and after surfing these forums, I have realised that my 250hrs of standby time is excellent, but well below what others are getting (e.g approx 350ish hours). After searching the forums quite a bit, I can't seem to work out why this may be, and how to get it up to a higher plane. Yes, Bluetooth, IR, GRPS are all turned off.
How do i get my standby time up to the 300ish or so hours? It is possible?
All the best

Don't use the phone, kill the backlight, don't play games. never fiddle with the joystick (No, not THAT joystick  ) |

Well, i don't know.. i charge mine randomly. if i'm going away for the weekend and have 40% battery i charge it. sometimes i let it run out untill the phone is dead. i still get 300+ hours out of it (in theory) and my battery is 8 months old.
What kind of actual time do you get out of your phone ?

Huh?! When you say 300+ hours, that means, it's like 12 days right? How do you guys manage to let your phones' battery last that long? What? You guys don't use it? Mine only lasts for about two and a half days  But that consists of frequent using of the text messages, sending and receiving. Lets say about 30-40 a day, gprs on, vibra on...alarm every morning to wake me up and constant changing of theme, accessing mms, wap. Not to mention, sending and receiving images via IR.  So with 'these' things that I'm doing to my phone, can you say that my battery is perfoming well or no? |
