the other thing i would look at is your screen brightness and backlight settings, something that gets overlooked but eats batterys


Cheers, I think I'll try that as well.

Just an update :D - overnight having left the SIM in with a full battery the level had dropped down to about a quarter , which would be acceptable to me as I'm never far from a charger or PC, I can live with 8 to 10 hours (even though my works BB runs for thre or four days on one charge).

BUT - sat having my brekkie this morning thinking that I was getting somewhere with this when the screen suddenly came to life all on its own and displayed the boot-up Samsung logo screen and then froze - this is what must have been happening without me noticing (usually through the night) all along, I think the phone needs more than a quarter charge in it or it will crash, at the moment there is nothing on the internal SIM so its probably just the network comms that are running in its standby mode.

Its now on charge for another day of leaving it to see at what point it will crash - I'm a persistant bugger, second-guessing what electronics are doing is part of my day job :D

what version of android is the phone running? have you connected to Kies on PC to see if there is a software update available? the other option would be flashing an older version.

not sure if this is a possibility, but is it a network branded phone? if you have changed sim to a different network there may be some network-specific apps that are conflicting.

Is running Froyo.xxjpy, I haven't connected it to Kies as I ofund that piece of software to be the most annoying piece of junk that had ever seen the inside of my PC :D , but I'm willing to try anything.

Its an unlocked phone, my daughter had an O2 contract with it but its now running on my Virgin card - it had these same problems on O2 as well so possibly not network related.

Battery currently stands at 88% since about 10am this morning which is a vast improvement, its stating that most of this has been consumed by the display with a tiny percentage being the standby, which is as you'd expect. I've turned off wi-fi so basically its doing nothing at the moment but wait for incoming calls.

Now upgraded via Kies (I take it all back) to Gingerbread .XXJW4 - we'll see how it copes now.

Have you downloaded a battery monitor? I found GSam battery monitor a pretty good one with a decent log of what's using the battery. it's far better than the stock one anyway.

I had a similar problem with my Blackberry

Mine does it every now and again. A full reboot fixes the problem, so my guess is it's the charger circuit or software going wonky.

Certainly seems to be stable on the new OS, its currently showing 17 hours remaining on the battery which was last charge at 8pm last night, have just switched on Wi-Fi which gave a couple of errors from bits of software that I'd not enabled comms to but so far so good, no lockups or freezes at the moment, like most people all I want from a smartphone is to ALWAYS be ready to accept a call, text or email - the internet and apps stuff is just icing on the cake and not absolutely necessary but when it buggers up the main functions then its ready to be drop-kicked down the garden.

I work on a technical helpline supporting field engineers, you're right, you can't use non-specific words like that, "its fooked mate" is the normal catch-all terminology that we use.
