    Can anyone advise the average battery life of the HTC Smart, I have it less than 30 days but the battery lasts less than 24hrs. I am not a heavy user.


    Today I have used 5 mins internet, 1x 17sec call and 1 txt.

    no bluetooth, and GSM setting only.
    I need to know if this is average (according to O2) :mad:

    or a dodgy battery.

    Is your screen brightness way up high ? That's the killer

    Oh yeah that's average. If you did your research you would know that.

    Theres several guides how to help increase your phones standby time i suggest you search that. Its been discussed many many times.

    Also as far as i read smart battery life isn't great. What your getting is about right

    Those stats must be with the screen disabled.... and the phone turned off. The last phone I a had that lasted that long in standby was a 6310.

    All them specs are posted using the smallest amount of usage possible. You will never get near them. As said only dumb nokia phones probably can stand closest to manufacturers given battery life specs.
