Nokia 6500 battery.

I got one on Saturday.

The battery is running out REALLY quickly. Which is annoying, because I :heart: it otherwise.

I charged it this morning, haven't even used it much today and it's on less than half already.

Has anyone else had this problem/know of it? Or is it just my phone? I need to go back to the Orange shop anyway to give them my old phone (£150 extra credit = 10% off bill + another £8 per month off...woop) so if it's just my phone it'll be easy enough to sort out but I don't wanna do it just for it to keep happening.

    Did you properly charge it the first time? Like for 12-24hrs?

    Which battery is it/

    My N73 has BP-6M battery and book said to charge for 12 hours. Do you have any applications or anything open in the background.

    Otherwise I dunno and hence I suck.

    hmmm it seems to have lots of probs with batteries, a lot of people seem to be saying they get about 12hours life out of it, which is a bit crap

    you can help by turning bluetooth, gps, gprs and all the other shite off, might help

    I have turned Bluetooth off, and it seems a bit better today. I suppose I'll get used to it.

    If you don't use video calling I would suggest changing your network type to GSM. 3G network (ie 3rd generation as opposed to the '3' network) reception generally requires more battery power.

    Just to say - thanks everybody :D. Seems it was the 3G that was draining the battery because it's fine today :D.
