I purchased a T Mobal V3 , I had it unlocked to work with Cingular. After unlocking the phone works fine but the battery life is only 8 to 10 hours . I replaced the battery with the same results. I searched this sight with no luck with this problem.
Phone charges just fine. I a working battery from another phone , no good. I put the T Mobal battery in my existing phone and it worked fine, 36 to 48 hors on a charge. I must be something in the phones program. I did a master reset to put all programs back to factory.
Am I missing something or can you make any suggestions. The phone is no good as is.
You don't need to put on caps lock I can read. However, what I would do in this case is flash the phone with a cingular monster pack, and be sure to back up your phone, check out the tutorials in the Tut. Section.

Try the battery fix as well:
Run phone till battery dies
Remove battery for a few mins
Replace battery but do not turn phone on
Charge phone overnight with battery off

i have the same problem. Mine however just started recently. my phone had stopped working temporariy as it got some mositure in it as iwas cleaning. . After it dried out everything was ah okay except the battery life. same problem 6 to 8 hours on standby. bluetooth is off. the phone works just fine otherwise. bought a new battery and same thing. I just now turned down the network speed. I minimized the backlight and other battery draining stuff. I am gonna charge the new battery ( only a few days old now) overnight with the battery off. If there is anything else you recommend please kindly advise.
