Battery Life?

I bought the e316 a week ago. It is fine except I can only get about 2 days max. life out of the battery without recharging. Is this normal? I know most cell phone ads say you get a lot more but I heard that it is mostly bogus. If this is normal then do you charge the battery every night and keep it on the car charger while driving?

i charge mine every night, but ive gone 5 days without a charger and normal use...what really eats the battery is using the camera...if youre doing normal use with talking and some camera youll get about 2 days out of it...stay away from the camera and youll definitely get at least 5 days out of the battery

Thank you for your info. 5 days would be good. I have not used the camera much, just to check it out. Have you changed settings on displays, etc., which could affect battery life and do you use all the internet functions, text messaging and voice mail? Also, do you turn the phone off at night? I'm trying to pin down what may be draining the battery. Maybe it's battery conditioning. I've exchanged the phone once and would hate to do it again. I could try another brand but the forums I've looked at seem to have similar complaints. Again, thank you for taking the time to reply.

mine lasts about seven to eight days, moderate talking and occasional texting. however, my phone is on silent most of the time. if you phone is off silent, i think it would last about 3-5 days if you use it as much as i do: id say i have a LED light on, and the backlight timer is on 15 seconds, i never use internet, and i do use voicemail normally...any alarms you have set are likely to drain the battery because the phone (on or off) must keep track of it at all times...if you have any other questions feel free to ask
