Can any C905 owners let me know how long their phone lasts per charge? My gf got a new one a couple of days ago and it needs charging twice a day, it drains battery like nothing else, even when left doing nothing. Im sure this can't be normal, but would like to know what normal should be. Cheers.
with just bluetooth on and wifi off i get prob 3 days b4 recharge wifi cains the power so only use it if you have too same respect to GPS
Mine lasts about 1.1/2 days before it needs a charge but it goes down to 50% very quick then seems to stay there for a while before losing more.
Has she conditioned the battery and is it being used on non-gen car chargers etc
She's switched the wifi off and all of a sudden its not draining. Thanks for this pointer, much appreciated!Quote:

Not sure whether this is an 'urban myth' though for new types of battery, it used to be the case for nicads - not convinced that it's the same for lithium ion types now in use. But I'm sure mobileman knows the truth.
Hope this helps.
Bit of both Pete, like you say used to be for nicads, but have to say that i personally have found it can really help a battery over a period of time.Quote:

I tend to condition the battery once a month or so and in 15 years have only ever had 2 new batterys due to faulty ones not holding charge.
A conservative estimate would put that at over 150 phones so must be some truth in it :)
As I said - Mobileman knows the truth. Nuff said.
I thank you Mobileman and I hold my hands up to your superior knowledge.
One day I will be able to post a reply on this board and feel like I have really helped in a way that my knowledge and experience has been useful to someone. I've been striving for this for seven years.
I'll still keep trying but with 50,000+ members on DF it's so hard, especially with the fact that 49,999+ members are so much cleverer than me.
Hey Ho !!
i must be the one below you pete!
I found your post useful. Don't be hard on yourself fella ;)
BTW BBK, does the mrs like other than that? I'm getting one in a couple of weeks.
Pete like i said you were correct and you got in first with helpfull information so you can have the spot above me mate any day and deffo above russbeer :p
infact i have just coined a new phrase
DF spirit is better than Christmas spirit :biggrin:
well done all round
now she's turned the wifi off yes :D its a very nice phone, a bit bigger than what she's been used to, but I guess if you want the camera then you accept it will be a little bigger than whats gone before. But yes, its a nice phone indeed, I would be tempted to get one myself but I think I'm sold on the X1 now :DQuote:

But I also like the X1 'cos it is so internet friendly and I use Gmail a lot, again for work really. Anyone know whether the C905 is any good for webmail and browsing, if it's ok then C905 for me.
Good job it weren't in your pocket at the time!! :DQuote:
