Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Motorola / July 2004**** V600 ****
Hello, For 1 week i have a new V600...... (i order it 6 weeks ago !!!!!) I have make several calls past week (about 2 hours), and i have charge yesterday the phone for the third time, charging time 4 - 5 hours !!!!! I don't play de games, but i have make 4 photos with the V600 camera last week. The battary "lives" by my use for 60 to 65 hours, specifications from the V600: making calls maximum 7,5 hours, and standby maximum 240 hours. The store (Vodafone City-Point (NL)) says this is normal !!! And there is a other problem, in 2 of my phone calls, the phone shut off (battary full), and i have to restart it !!! What do you think: * is this normal ?? * do i have a bad battary ?? * have i a used V600 ?? * ..................... ?? * ..................... ?? * ..................... ?? * ..................... ?? Thanks for your respons....... Greetings, and have a nice call... RONALD. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > * ..................... ?? > * ..................... ?? If you search this newsgroup, you will find some similar complaints, with responses from satisfied users who don't have these problems, so it could be a bad phone (or charger?) First, check your settings for battery saving, Bluetooth (should be off if not in use). The Motorola manuals have standard disclaimers on batteries, including: ". New batteries or batteries that have been stored for long periods of time may require a longer charge time." But mine lasted a week after the first charge. The manuals also warn that you will use more power if far from a base station - this would be indicated by a weak signal (1 bar) on the display. Can you leave the phone on standby (light use only) - the battery should last a week - if not, take it back. I had the same sort of problems at the start, but with all lithium ion batteries, it takes up to and above 10 charges for it to hold a full charge, also if you are using the phone during a charge this will slow things down, this includes leaving the phone turned on during a charge, if you want it to charge faster, turn the phone off, my phone will fully charge in about 45 min to 1 hour, when I have no bars showing, one more thing, ion batteries don't like to be fully decharged, so try and charge before the phone turnes itself off. Eddy Hello, Thanks for the answers, bleutooth is out, but the phone is on, when charging, and don't have make any phonecalls when the battary whas charging !! Today i went back to the store, and now i have a new battary, the men said: "try this one, if you still have the long charging time, we send the phone to a repair shop" (that's nice, no phone for about 2-3 weeks). So now i have to try all again for a week. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > yesterday the phone for the third time, > charging time 4 - 5 hours !!!!! Give the new battery time to condition. Li-ion cells take a few charge cycles to reach full efficiency. If it's no better after a few weeks then take it back, and also like another poster said disable bluetooth if you don't use it. K a few things. Those maximum settings, depends on the system/network. Systems have settings from DRX2-DRX9 and DTX2-DTX9. The higher the number, the better your battery life. Ask your network provider what their settings are. If both are "9", you should have very long battery life, near those maximums. If both are "2", then your battery life is normal. You will get about 2 hours talk time and 2-3 days of standby. And the other poster is correct, if you have five bars of signal strength, you are closer to the tower and thus you use less power to transmit. If its 1 or 2 bars, then your transmitter will be running at high power more often. Last but not least, if you ever lose signal where no bars show, then turn the phone off. When no signal, batteries go down fast because it keeps searching for a network. Good luck  SignatureSteve > > > Hello, [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > K |
