Ok, situation is it WAS working fine, then i was kinda involved in a street robbery where the thief grabbd my phone, saw the police were coming and then kinda threw it to hide the evidence..
Since then, the battery has been REALLY poor! Yesterday I (think) it lasted for about 5 hours on a full charge, and during those 5 hours all i did was send two texts. For the whole of the other time it was locked and not being used. Surely this is not normal? Do you think the battery has become dislodged/broken from when the idiot threw it?
I'm not 100% sure on the 5 hours but will be doing a test today to see how long it lasts, however what are my options in any case? will they fix/replace the phone under warranty? or is that a bit too optimistic? phone was bought off the carphone warehouse website..
cheers

Once you do get it going get the violin, pocket guitar, light saber, virtual dice, piano, harmonica drums and faceparty apps are great little gadgest and most free. As far as your warranty goes wouldn't have a clue I just usally treat my gadgets careful and they last forever. Iphone is usually pretty durable.
i don't see why they would as it seems to have damaged by being thrown. but you can take it to a genius bar and see what they say.
also, check your household insurer to see if they cover the phone.
Might be worth getting it sent off under warranty if not (don't tell them about it being thrown).
Luckily it was within 28 days of purchase so got a straight swap in an O2 store.
O2 will probably end up shipping it back to Apple and give you a loan phone from the 80s for a week or two until it is fixed and shipped back.
