Supported! I consider to change my phone due to this problem. Can Sony Ericsson please provide me with updated info about this problem?

same strange problem than the others; battery at 50%, i leave the phone with screen off and early in the morning…surpirse, yo have the batery empty!

i’ve updated to the last ROM, but one day of battery life is a joke. A terrible joke. I know that the big resolution (800×480) and wifi are battery-eaters, but i leave the phone without wifi and with the screen switched off, so…it’s windows mobile 6.1? are there any chance to get an update to windows mobile 6.5? are there any chance to obtain a better solution to this battery problem that doing tricky battery charges with the phone turned off, then do a hard reset and then dance with a litte cat and wearing pink trousers ?

This battery problem and the poor quality of the photo camera (compared with my old Nokia N73, the X1 camera is really bad) are the only bad points of this great phone.

My battery was lasting about 7/8 hours. I tried charging with the phone turned off, then restarting, and did not work. The solution: fully charged with the phone off, then hard reset, Now I've got it running for 24 hs, using wifi (about 1 hour), played some music, some gaming, about 30min. conversation... and it shows 70% charge. SO: FULLY CHARGE the phone TURNED OFF, then HARD RESET. It worked for me!

Absolutely positive - I was as skeptical as you must be when I heard. I had the same problem as you. A possible alternative (if you don't want to format) is to turn off the phone and then charge it. If the operating system is not running then only the hardware battery guaging will be in effect and the battery should charge to its full 100% irrespective of the fault on the OS. This problem is common to other Win6.1 handsets apparently such as the HTC Touch Pro. I've emailed Sony Ericsson's X1 support here in the UK and apparently a firmware update is on its way to sort this. I'm not sure how they're going to get it to O2 / Vodafone branded handsets though as these do not update using the Sony Ericsson Update Service. I emailed them back for info on that. I was sickened by the telephone support as they said that 7 hours battery standby was normal and that if I wasn't happy I should return the phone and buy something else. Unbelievable. I'm just happy I proved those idiots wrong. They tried to palm me off with the idea that it was a small laptop and "how many hours of battery do you get from your laptop"? I haven't got it up to 500 hours but I have got it roughly equivalent to my old HTC handset the O2 XDA Mini S

Jst go to your inbox and tap on the message which u want to forward and after that selected message will get dark in colour the tap on menu there will be a option of forward i guess the second option. If while selecting the message the phone shows you the contact detail of person then just press the ok button next to the battery then you can see the selected part. Best of luck
