Comments on: Cellphone Battery Always Dying? http://www.frugaljapan.com/2009/01/cellphone-battery-always-dying/ Living frugally in an expensive world Mon, 22 Nov 2010 10:49:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ted http://www.frugaljapan.com/2009/01/cellphone-battery-always-dying/comment-page-1/#comment-169 Ted Wed, 18 Mar 2009 08:42:40 +0000 http://www.frugaljapan.com/?p=334#comment-169 i've been having the same "need-to-charge-constantly" problem with my japanese cell phones. i purchased a new phone the other day (docomo F884iES), hoping that i could get at least a few days use without the aforementioned annoying problem (the manual claims an average use of over 300 hrs). forget it! after less than 24 hrs, the charge drops to zero. i seldom make calls using the cell phone, and i only use it to send and receive e-mails (about 10 a day). a trip to the docomo shop yielded nothing - "your battery is fine," i was told after they "checked" it. friends of mine claim an average battery life (between charges) of anywhere from 2 to 5 days (phone models vary). what the heck?! any advice would be appreciated. cheers. i’ve been having the same “need-to-charge-constantly” problem with my japanese cell phones. i purchased a new phone the other day (docomo F884iES), hoping that i could get at least a few days use without the aforementioned annoying problem (the manual claims an average use of over 300 hrs). forget it! after less than 24 hrs, the charge drops to zero. i seldom make calls using the cell phone, and i only use it to send and receive e-mails (about 10 a day). a trip to the docomo shop yielded nothing – “your battery is fine,” i was told after they “checked” it. friends of mine claim an average battery life (between charges) of anywhere from 2 to 5 days (phone models vary). what the heck?! any advice would be appreciated. cheers.

My husband's battery in his phone finally just stopped working all together and wouldn't even charge anymore. That sucked! I will be going to AU tomorrow to see if I can get one....
