Battery [6630] charging incredibly slowly

    I set my 6630 to recharge last night (bought in June) and, in the morning, I found it still only had 1 bar of power. I assumed the recharger wasn't plugged in correctly, or somesuch, so I plugged it out and plugged it back in again. After more hours, it was then only at 2 power bars.

    Odd.

    So I thought it might be a charger problem and tried another Nokia charger. Still no change from 2 bars...

    Now it could be a battery life indicator problem or, more worryingly, a battery problem. Any had any similiar experiences?

    It could be a loose connection in the phone. It happens as you might imagine particularly in older phones, and it means that sometimes you have to move the charger around in a certain way to get it to charge. This might be what is happening with your phone, i.e, its at two bars because it doesn't charge at all.

    Although, if it's charging in front of you visibly, and moving the charger around doesn't interrupt the process, then the battery is obviously knackered

    Ho hum. I took it off and, after a few minutes, the battery indicator moves to full... We'll see if it's actually full soon enough...

    The battery is amazing on those phones. Mine used to last a good few days before needing a charge. Has the most realistic battery indicator too. I found mine always charged serious fast and lasted ages too. You can get a new one from 'The great mobile accessory shop' on Talbot street. They're 20 euro, but offer him a tenner and you'll prolly get it.

    I have a 6630 too and the charging can be strange too,
    seems to be charging for ages sometimes - sometimes it flies.

    A good remedy i found was to just restart the fone - always sorted the problem
