What to Do If...
The battery
drains faster
than normal.
Are you in an area of variable coverage?
This uses extra battery power.
Is it a new battery? A new battery will
need two to three charge/ discharge
cycles to attain normal performance. See
“Charging Your Battery” on page 29.
Is it an old battery? Battery performance
will decline after several years use.
Replace the battery.
Is it a battery that hasn’t been completely
discharged? Allow the battery to fully
discharge (until the phone turns itself off)
and then charge the battery overnight.
Check that the Speed feature in the
Network menu has not been set to Fast.
See “Network” on page 155.
Check that the Battery Save Mode
feature has not been set to Off.
Are you using your phone in extreme
temperatures? At extreme hot or cold
temperatures, battery performance is
significantly reduced.
