Fixed my battery issue....

Not sure if this has been posted already....did a search and didn't see it.

I've had my Q for about a week and as others have complained, I couldn't even get 12+ hours out of it. With minimal calls, a little surfing and by night, battery warning was going off.

I read on another site about a possible fix. For some reason, my phone came out of the box with "Accept Incoming Beams" turned on. This is for infrared beaming and the phone is constantly looking for infrared signals. I turned it off and the phone is going on 48 hours with full battery strength after similar usage.

Go to Start > Settings > Connections > A Beams....then uncheck the box "Accept Incoming Beams" and select done.

Thanks for the tip. I just changed my setting too. Another user posted that when you charge the battery at night, make sure you turn off the phone (unless you need it on). the user said that improved battery life too.

Lets hope these 2 tips help us as i am really not looking forward to a bulky battery to destroy the look of this nice phone
