    Good afternoon to all. Can anyone tell me how to get more out of my motv400
    battery? I have 2 brand new phones one for me and one for my wife and we
    can get about 1.5 days of use out of the things. Why is the life on this
    unit so bad or am I missing something? Any thoughts would be helpful. The
    phones are great and work quite well. The battery is whatever came with
    them. Thanks.

    You don't mention how much talk time vs. standby you're getting so it's
    hard to know if what you're getting is reasonable. With minimal talk
    time (less than 15 min/day) I get about 4-5 days out of my v600 with it
    shut off at night. However I usually just drop it in the charger each
    night and never have to worry about battery life.

    The battery that came with your v400 is a 700mAh battery. Assuming that
    there's nothing wrong with the phone that's causing the battery life to
    be below normal, you can purchase higher capacity batteries for your
    phone. I think the biggest battery you can get for the v400 is a
    1100mAh battery, albeit you have to use some trickery to make it fit. I
    don't know whether the 1000mAh battery would fit as-is.

    Personally we haven't had problems with the battery life of the two
    v400s we have. But then, maybe you just talk more!

    Do you have the phone in a case or just loose in your pocket? I had my
    V400 in a tight-fitting generic case which seemed to be always pressing
    on the buttons on the phone sides. I'd pull the phone out of the case
    and the external display backlight would be on; 2/3 of the battery would
    be gone after a single day.

    I switched to a firm case from Cingular with sides that extend past the
    phone buttons and now a full battery charge lasts for 3-4 days with no
    problem.

    I imagine the same problem can happen with the phone loose in your pocket.
