Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / February 2005Best phone for battery life?
I had a Nokia 6340 for just over 2 years and it was great for battery life. I maybe charged it once a week. I only talk on it 2-3 hours a week... So last week I decided to update and got the Moto v551. I charged it Monday night and by Wednesday at 11a.m. it was beeping and flashing low battery. And that was only with 45 min of talking. A phone that only lasts 36 hours is not reasonable to me. Anyway, I'm putting the Moto through some full discharge/charge cycles to see if battery life improves. If not, it's going to be taken back to the store for something else. Any recs? Preferably with Bluetooth... > I had a Nokia 6340 for just over 2 years and it was great for battery life. > I maybe charged it once a week. I only talk on it 2-3 hours a week...

If you leave Bluetooth on all the time, short times between charges is the norm. Actually, Bluetooth was off when it died after 36hrs. I plan to get a Bluetooth headset to go with the phone but haven't yet, so I made sure BT was off. > > I had a Nokia 6340 for just over 2 years and it was great for battery life. > > I maybe charged it once a week.

I have a 6230 with bluetooth on all the time. Never noticed an appreciable reduction of battery life. Your location, transmit power, volume, screensaver, backlight, etc will likely have a bigger effect than bluetooth. >> I had a Nokia 6340 for just over 2 years and it was great for battery >> life.

Preferably with Bluetooth... Possibily a bad battery. With moderate usage (20-30 minutes per day), I get about 5-6 days on my v551 before the battery meter hits one bar. you just got it, give it a few weeks, the newer batteries get better after a few charges.. also 3 days is really good for a motorola.. the batteries motorola uses are really tiny. whats wrong with charging it every night when you sleep?? > I had a Nokia 6340 for just over 2 years and it was great for battery life. > I maybe charged it once a week.

Preferably with Bluetooth... I have the same issue with mine. Mine does the same thing. Last 36hrs. I took it back and replaced the battery and it one time it lasted 2 days tops. >I had a Nokia 6340 for just over 2 years and it was great for battery life. > I maybe charged it once a week.

Preferably with Bluetooth... try the philips xenium 650. it's unbeleivable for battery life. i use it with cingular. >I had a Nokia 6340 for just over 2 years and it was great for battery life. > I maybe charged it once a week.

Preferably with Bluetooth... V180 is great for battery life. It lasts for almost a week with normal use. It does not have any bells and whistles like camera etc. It's very good phone for people who just use the phone to make and receive calls.

A whole week! My Nokia can go for two weeks without a recharge. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks. I am still testing the v551. After completely draining it twice, it is doing better. I took it off the charger Monday morning and it has not died yet. Still at 2 bars. This has been mostly on standby with several 5 minute calls confirming appointments, voice mail, etc. This is def. more acceptable than my original experience. Still have 2 weeks to make up my mind though. > V180 is great for battery life.
