Nokia 6600 problem

Storm123 · 13-06-2004, 04:53

I've had this for about 3 months and recently the battery life has suddenly started dropping off incredibly quickly as soon as it looses one bar.

Its turned into a 3 phone.....arrrgh!

I'v had the battery replaced by orange, but the same problem seems to occur with the new battery, so it looks like it is a problem with the phone.

1) Has anyone else had this problem?
2) I dont have any insurance on the phone, but surely it must be under a manufactuer warrenty for the first year?
3) I've downloaded one game onto it, do you think this may have put some kind of bug onto the phone?

ps...... its not me playing alot of games and stuff that s running it down.

It shouldn't be the game, but you could try 'formatting' it (this will erase EVERYTHING and it'll go back to it's factory defaults - you can back up to you memory card though with the 'Memory' application).
Key in *#7370#, and the phone will prompt to continue. You'll then need to dial your security code (default is 12345).

make sure the bluetooth has been switched off as this lessens the battery life alot !

I've turned the bluetooth off now and I'll see how that effects things.

I leave bluetooth on and it's no huge problem.

Same here - I bought a desktop charger from eBay, so it's no problem to just stick it on overnight.
