W580i battery problem?

I just got my W580i a few days ago and noticed that after talking on it for about 2 hours and listening to music (through speaker) for ONLY 10 MINS the battery almost dies... (10%)

Is that normal? or is there something wrong with it....?

Also how much should I expect the battery to live? (that is if my phone's battery doesn't work properly)

Thanks

Pretty normal from what I have seen. My daughter has the w580i and does not get the run time out of it that I think she should.

But then again we have had in back to Sony 4 times and replaced 1 time for being a piece of junk.

Main board failures, locking up, display inverting and of course keys cracking. Now it locked up again last night. Ugh.

Haha... ye that's true. I actually saw billions of complaints about w580i in the internet. One of the solutions is to turn of the "step meter" as it uses a load of battery power. In fact, I have managed to increase the battery life to about 4 days now...

I can still go and change it, as I have 2 more weeks for any exchange; but the reason I'm not doing it is because I really love the phone. It's gotten its spot in my heart... lol

I like the concept and interface. I still like the design and functions. But I think after dealing with Sony I would be hard pressed to get anything else "Sony".

I am glad you were able to get more time out of that battery. My Razor has been ok with the battery life, but the wife's has had battery issues several times.

They all have their issues unfortunately , but that's what keeps things interesting.

I think Nokia's are far better than any other phone if you're really looking for battery life and sound quality. I used to use Nokia 3310 and then 6600 I liked them both but then they got old and I decided to use a bit more technology and that when I had to face SonyErricson w580i... muahahah

anyways, good luck with your razer and may God protect its battery as long as the phone remains workin'.

The W580i is a really good phone in the number of features it has much like the newer phones. Turning some of the automatic features off would help a lot in conserving battery life. I find the step count useless even though it's a nice little quark the phone has.
