Battery Life less than 24 hours? I have had this phone for about 5 days now and it seems that the battery life is HORRIBLE? Yesterday I fully charged the phone and used about 30 mins of talk time and 20 mins of web browsing. Before end of the night the battery died. Is the battery so bad or do I have a lemon?

LOL. It is true, the battery life is short if you push the tool to its limits, there is no denying that. However, what exactly do you expect? This is a cell phone and you're browsing the internet, taking photos, video clips, and maybe even playing games. The fact that this little device can do all that on a small battery is pretty impressive. It is my opinion that you are just expecting something that no phone can deliver to this date. Maybe when we have hover-cars, and jet-packs and technology is greatly advanced, just maybe we'll have cell-phones that do not need to be charged! Wouldn't that be great? LOL.

I have the same problem and if you go to http://www.everythingq.com/ and sign on to the forum you'll see othe rpeople complain about the same thing.I am however thinking of investing in the ultra battery.Seems like a good investment.

It sounds like a battery issue to me, unless your phone has been damaged in another way. I have an LG Optimus L9 phone, and this battery worked perfectly for me. The battery tends to drain more quickly than those for more recent smart phones; however, with the good price, I bought two batteries and keep both charged with one in my purse for a spare. One of these batteries will generally last me all day with occasional phone use and texting; however, if I do a lot of internet surfing, heavy texting, or frequent phone use, it is nice to have a spare charged battery with me.

I just purchased this phone and it is doing the same thing. It worked for 5 minutes after we charged and then it went into the System is Starting mode and will not connect to Skype. If we reset the batteries, it will connect to Skype, then disconnect after 5 minutes. We have the latest firmware version and can't figure out what the problem is. I've emailed Philips, but if we cannot figure out the problem, we'll have to send it back. I really hope it doesn't come to that because I really want it to work!

Too few details in question to try to diagnose. Need to know: How old is it, how often is phone used/charged, have you tried other battery,etc. Maybe it's cable connection.. Did problem start after factory reset, are the contacts clean, too many variables, not enough detail to try to diagnose... Do Google searches for your model... Perhaps others have had same issue(s)...

The battery that I installed in my phone was fully charged in about 4 hours. If the battery that you recieved won't charge you might have got a defective one. I would try cleaning the contacts on the battery and your phone and then try to charge it again. If that dosen't work then you will have to return it for replacement. I hope that answers your questions.

If the person who posted before me actually has battery life that poor, he should return his product. I have the 30GB and I tested my battery life, twice. The first time I got 14 hrs, 15 min, and the second I got 13 hrs, 50 min. The battery life is as advertised. If you read reviews for the product on many diff sites, you'll find that often the battery life even exceeds what Apple claims.

It's like any other smartphone; it'l last days if you use it for nothing more than voice calls. If you use the GPS and 4G radios a lot, you'll drain it down in less than a day.My overall judgment of the battery life would be Decent - Good.

Hello, talk time is about 6-7 hours. On & off of conversations. I've talk 2-3 hours straight and with a "full charge" battery it still has battery life. Just about a 1/4 % been used. I hope this answer ur question. L. Wise

I had the same problem and I changed the 2 AA batteries in the handset and problem solved. I had assumed because the LED display said it was fully charged it was, but the batteries didn't hold the charge. I was just about to buy a new phone when I figured that out!

The phones that I have been using. I leave in the charging cradle all the time, all over the house. I have 6 matching handsets. The handsets have been left out of the cradle over night, or all day, and still have full battery power. I did have one start to go out of service recently. It is the main handset and is used a lot. I don't recall how long it had been out of the charging cradle. Must have been more than a whole day. Have not had an issue with that handset since then. Overall, battery life, I have found with my personal use, has been several hours. You always have the option of switching to a different charged handset.

I have three HD2 handsets, and two of them have horrible battery life - can't talk for more than half-hour with them. I've replaced the rechargeable batteries with new ones, but still same issue. The Ooma tech support has not taken responsibility... very disappointed with Ooma.

I have had the battery less than a month. It is great so far. I would recommend that you find someone who has had the battery over a year. That is when my previous third-party battery from another company failed despite not being recharged much.

Is the phone still working? Mine did that for a couple days then shut down. I ordered the original motorola battery and my battery life is better than originally! Does that answer your question?

My first camera lasted for only 25 pictures on one charge. I charged the battery for two hours. I sent it back and got another one. This one lasted for about 60 pictures! I don't know if I should send this one back as well. I love the camera, but I think the charge should last for more than one day. Any one else with problems with battery life?

Battery is not changable by users. If you dont surf a lot on the internet or play games, you dont need to charge it even at end of the day. It has stamina mode which helps to save battery life. Im using a lot with wifi, games, talking, texting and i just charge it once in a day. I hope it helps

hello therI had a bad experience with this purchase. The phone I received had a bad battery, and the vendor (not Amazon) was extremely rude (he said "go and buy a new battery" ????) anyway I filed a complaint with Amazon and they refunded me the money. Kudos to Amazon, bad for the vendor (I don't remember the name) ... so be careful who you buy it from ...Hope it helps....

Great timing with your question. I bought one of these a little while ago and went to use it for only the second time this past weekend.....(I use it as a back up when my main battery is depleted).....the first use was brief, as I only needed a few minutes battery time. This weekend, the battery was fully depleted in a matter of minutes (no more than 5 min) and on subsequent recharges, continues to work just as poorly. I am very disappointed. Don't know if this is the norm or not, but if it is, buyer beware.....
