Ku990 battery discharging

New battery fitted (just in case) but phone still discharges within a few hours, even if left with screen locked and without any use. I have tried taking it out of its magnetic flapped case and removing SD card and swapped the new battery with a known good one from another KU990 but still it discharges from fully charged within 8 hours in standby with the screen locked. I have turned off all applications including bluetooth and all alarms too. Help???

The magnetic closer may be causing interference with the units ability to stay connected to service..if thats the issue it will constantly be searching for a signal which sucks power to do..like being in a metal enclosure and getting reduced bars..

    as quoted above and this didnt work. I have now covered the electrical contacts inside the rear cover with tape and removed and realigned the SD card housing slightly as this was the cause on another of my ku990's. It is now much improved, with 7hrs of standby and 70mins of calls resulting in only 1 bar of charge lost. Thanks anyway.

SOURCE: quick Battery Discharge on LG KU990 Camera/Phone

My problem turned out to be self inflicted as I am a new user of this phone and found out it was purely "Finger Trouble" my phone had closed down and I could not bring it back to life and found that by connecting the battery charger whilst charging I was then able to operate the phone through the charger and from thence on after disconnecting the charger the phone returned to full use. Sorry to have bothered you but grateful of your offer of assistance, I shall know where to go if something more serious should arise. I am a "Silver Computer User" of 80 tender years trying to keep up with the 21st century so that's my excuse for getting in a mess with my first Mobile Phone/Camera. Regards & Thanks Again, Dennis Sparrow

Got this phone a few days ago but it only holds a charge for about 6 or 7 hours even if not in use but left on.I've let the battery die and recharged it 3 or 4 times but always the same problem. Any...

Why would you let the battery die? That is suicide for multi-cell batteries. More batteries have been wrecked by fully discharging than you can imagine. On the old NiCads, which are NOT used in cell phones, they recommended discharging the cells completely at one time. The problem is you CANNOT discharge the individual cells when they are packaged together. If you try to discharge them, one cell goes flat before the others and is reversed charged destroying it. All the new fang-led cell phones burn the power... mine is dead in a day. WORSENING the problem is if the phone is on and in a weak signal area because it cranks up the power to tell the cell tower it is available and uses as much power as it take to communicate... this occurs all the time, not just while you are talking on the phone.

This is my second touch pro 2, each has had the same problem. The battery goes dead, then the phone freezes and now the batter goes dead after 3 hours unhooked from a power source. I am locking the...

The batteries in those devices are Li-Ion battery (look it up on wikipedia, if you want chemical details). They are VERY sensitive to deep discharging.
They are composed of several cells - and even one deep-discharge can fry at least one. In that case, polarity in this particular cell drops and can even be reversed, rendering the battery useless.

That is why all phones switch themselves off way before that occurs - in theory. If the phone hangs, it cannot switch itself off and abovesaid happens.

So what you can do: First, get a new battery. Yours is bad. They are not expensive at amazon or similar.
 
Then, either
a) Prevent freezes. HTC Touch Pro 2's are not know to freeze out of blue sky (and mine rarely did), so I guess you keep on using an application that crashes you device. I suggest installing your apps one by one to see, which causes the crash. Meanwhile, rely on b).

or

b) Prevent deep-discharging. Keep it charged above 50% all the time until you are sure to get no more crashes. It will not hurt the battery to be charged often and only marginally to have that much capacity constantly.

New battery loses charge to quickly only lasts 24 hours have tried another still the same problem have fitted phone cover

Hi,
For better battery performance, perform the following tasks,
1. Switch off the bluetooth. If needed put into hidden mode.
2. Switch off the wifi netword scanning (if applicable)
3. Reduce the screen brightness.
4.While keeping in pocket, take care to ensure that the mobile screen not at all touched or pushed inside pocket even though the screen is locked.
5. Charge th emobile phone for continuous 5 hours and dont charge until fully discharged. Follow this for atleast 5 times.
Then you can see the improvement in batery backup time.
I hope this is helpful to you

Battery is discharged very early even without use

Hello Sunil,

Knowing your phone's behavior, Its not usual that the battery if fully charged, will drain within the day, especially that you said even if it is not being used. I would highly advice that you avail the warranty of this phone since you have just purchased that unit. Do not rely on Nokia's customer service online. Go to the store where you made the purchase and avail the warranty. They should change the battery pack.

KU990 Viewty's battery loses charge very quickly

I saw on another forum two good tips.

1. Do not use a case with a magnetic clip.

2. Take off the battery cover and put tape over the two small etched squares that you can see one at each end on the inside of the cover.

I did this and up to now my battery has doubled its life. Still two bars after 1.5 days of medium use.
