Well, my first question is if your battery is new? cause you often encounter problems like that when you don't have new battery. If yes, well , you can change settings, instead of having a back light , put your phone in a silent mode don't vibrate or use text messaging instead of calling. Hope this tips will help Happy mylotting!

As what most members commented and suggested, i can also say try to change your battery. It may be very old or has problems in it as well as the charger. Try to decrease the usage as well. I think you mentioned before that you use your phone to listen to music. That can cause a lot of battery usage so try to lessen it.

the first step is to decrease you usage by not playing games because it discharges the battery quickly. you should keep the blue-tooth of your cell phone off when not in use and further you can keep your battery in a good condition by following instructions on the manual.

Modern cell phone easiy drain out power due to cool functionalities ,color screens , games that need high power , dolby sound effects , video streaming etc.You should also turn off your bluettoth when ever you are not doing a file transfer .cell phones also consume more power whenever there is a signal fluctuation or you move from one cell region to another . I have seen that cell phones of olden days (10 years back) use to consume less power due to lesser functionalities.

You can buy an extra battery pack and attach it to your phone and that will double the battery life. If you play games on it that will drain the battery faster. Most of the apps use 10% of your batter life for 10-20 minutes of play time. If you have a charger at work you can leave it plugged in so it doesn't need to be charged when you get home.

Did you charge your battery correctly the first time? How much do you use your phone? If you use it all the time you may not be able to use it a full two days before needing to recharge. You might think about getting another battery so you have a spare to use and use the phone longer. I would just get in the habit of putting on the charger and did you know you can still talk on it while it is charging?

First of all, don't ever charge your battery up until you get the low battery warning, as that will shorten the battery life for sure. also, make sure that you have things truned off on your phone that drain the battery faster. I have an Android phone, and I have to check mine periodically to make sure that I don't have anything on that will cause the battery to drain quicker. Usually the batter in my phone will last several days before I have to charge it up again. Now, I just charged it up last night, after having just charging it on Friday. come to find out, I had things on, that caused my battery to drain faster than it should have. What happened was, I turned them on while charging it, so I could install things on my phone, and then when it got done charging, I forgot to turn them off, so it started draining very fast. This morning I checked and now they are off, so my battery should last longer this time. Take care, and have a very good day.

Hi dear, Make sure it is not a ‘china made’. If it is so, change to a branded one. Also, if your mobile brightness is higher, reduce to lesser mode and it will help. Again, once the mobile is on, the light fades after some time. In most of the mobile, the time selection is there. Here also, select the lesser time, so that once the call is over, immediately the lights get off. Also, what others are commented also to be noted. Still the problems persists, change the battery, it life must have gone and a replacing may not cost much. Is your hand-set is a branded or a local one? If so, change of battery is compulsory. Regards, Thank-s

If there is nothing wrong with battery's function then I would say let it drain completely. Then charge it overnight without using it to get a full charge. Then this should erase the memory habitual usuage. Good luck.

Have you ever experienced the 'run out' cell phone batteries in a moment of very critical? Hmm ... if yes, was predictable. Surely you would be angry, furious, disgusted and there are a million other negative expressions of 'perched' on yourself then. Problems running out of battery on a cell phone is a problem that often occurs. There are two factors that become the cause, maybe your phone it does have the ability under the standard battery or may be due to the use of less accurate, causing the phone battery quickly depleted. Well, for this second factor, there are some tricks you can do to anticipate them. 1. If indeed you do not need it, you should just turn off vibrate on your phone facilities. For example when you are on the desk or at home. 2. Do not enable the facility vibrating and ringing at the same time as this can 'drain' your battery energy. 3. If you're waiting for SMS or important call, you should think about it twice to make it manually or create a melody. Because this action will waste battery power. 4. Do not play games on phones, if indeed you really need a phone and it is impossible to recharge the battery in the near future. 5. Turn off GPRS facility, it also makes cell phone batteries excessive wear. 6. Do not be too often turn on or turn off your cell phone. Because the energy required to seek re very large customer network. This will reduce the time of stand-by phone between 1-2 hours, you know. 7. If you are in a difficult area to get a signal, you should just turn off your cell phone's. Why the phone will continue to try to find the signal, resulting lack of power battery. 8. To obtain optimal results, you should turn off the phone when recharging. Though actually there is no ban on cell phone turned on while recharging. 9. Do not charge the battery overnight, as this will affect battery performance. 10. Turn off the phone when not needed, for example night....

You should lessen the use of your mobile phone. You should use it when necessary. Avoid playing games or doing anything that uses more power from the battery.

you can reduce the battery power by minimizing the sound of your phone and not activate the vibration. one more, the game allows the battery power becomes wasteful
