😕 Ok, I have had my phone for almost 2 weeks now. Everything is the bomb, I love it. Everything except the battery. It sucks man. I make a 15-20 minute call and my battery is 1/2 gone. Anyone else experiancing this ?

I kept mine on with bluetooth active for around 48 hrs and still had full power. However I did not talk that much.

Not a chance, maybe there is a defect with your battery.

No battery issues here, I was on a few back-to-back calls Wed AM for about 90 minutes, didn't even drop a bar.

I thought the same thing too until I found out that the battery meter is not accurate.

One minute it will show a full charge, the next minute it looks like it's depleted and about to shut down.

Having said that, I had to charge it twice in one day when I spent the day trying to set up mobile phone tools and get the bluetooth usb adapter to connect with the phone.

I also discovered that while using the phone with the charger plugged in, the battery is still being depleted.

It appears the charger shuts down automatically and you have to unplug it from the wall and re-plug it back in to start charging again.

Sorry TG,

I looked at my phone today, 1st day really having it with a full charge placed last night at receipt of it, I had made a 21:55 call on my way home from work and my batt is still showing a full charge on it. So far my total is 43 min ... why not see if you can get a replacement batt? It may just be a bad one in the bunch.

This happened to me as well for some reason. When you first charge your phone, i don't think the battery meter is accurate in indicating full charge. With my phone, battery life deteriorated with every charge (well not literally, but just about). I think if you continue to make long calls (20+ min.), you'll see how bad the battery life really is.
