Battery Life?

[tdubbleyou]

My 8130's battery just recently took a turn for the worse. Has anyone seen their battery go from holding a charge to having to charge it three times a day? What should I do? Is it under warranty?

Batteries dont last forever.
are you sure there is nothing running in the background?

See thats what I was wondering??? I recently installed facebook app and was wondering if that might have caused it? How do you uninstall?

[MidnightDraven]

facebook is unlikely to cause it as it doesnt need to be running in the background to pick up notifications.
have you checked whats running in the background?

[tdubbleyou]

I guess I don't know how?

[MidnightDraven]

ERm, Im not familiar with the 8130.
Can you press ALT and the escape button? (the arrow looking button)
This may show it.
or the menu button, then again and go to switch application...
it will show you.

Thanks, I'll see if that works. I found facebook running so I logged out of that.

You dont need to logout.
You sign in.
you click menu - close
it then stays logged in and intercepts emails from facebook to show in the app and doesnt run in the background unecessairly, draining the battery.

How long have you had your battery for? As mentioned earlier, batteries dont last forever.
