Nokia 6263 Battery Life

[inquisitive]

Hi everyone, I just got a Nokia 6263, which is advertised as having ~12 days of standby time, but my phone only lasts 4 days without me doing anything. I tried charging it twice, both with only 4 days, and then took it into my T-mobile store, which had no way of testing the battery, but they gave me a new one. I started charging it Monday, but right now the battery looks to be low, it hasn't made any low battery noises, but I don't see how it could last another 9 days. Has anyone had anything like this happen to them? I know the Bluetooth is off. Is there anything else that could be causing problems? I have used other Nokia phones before so I would think I know how to charge a phone, but maybe this one is just defective. Any other Nokia 6263 users out there?

Nokia 6263 Battery Life problem - talk time and stand-by. I have had the same battery life problem from the first day I purchased the Nokia 6263. I also got a replacement battery after two weeks but it did not help. There may be a problem with the phone itself... I spoke with T-Mobile and the phone warranty is for 12 month; they will ship a new phone for $9.95 shipping cost but my battery is now out of warranty (over 3 month old) and I would have to take a chance that the battery is not the cause of the problem. I suggest you ask T-Mobile to send you a replacement phone and battery before the battery is out of warranty.

It is not defective. I bought 2 6263 phones for myself and my wife. Neither battery lasted for more than 2 or three days. I got both phones replaced, no change in life of batteries. Now Nokia says I can send the phones in for warranty service. I am dubious that they would find any fault. I have never had such problems with Nokia products. I am going to disable the bluetooth to see if I can get a few more days, but I doubt anyone is truly getting anything close to the performance that Nokia is stating we should get.
