I had this battery life problem it wouldn’t last for more than 7hrs and I might have taken only a one or two minute call! I ended up forgetting it in my coat one night and it was in there all weekend! It was so dead it I worried it was broken it didn’t light up at all and even after plugging it in it was still unresponsive for a while! I charged it full and it has a long life again maybe some phone batteries have been getting a ‘memory’. I know I did this with my razor when it didn’t want to behave and it would have a 5 day life! MY BB 8230 Now works great goes for a couple days at least! Hope this helps!

@V Ramesh Try pulling your battery out while the device is still powered on – leave it out for 30 seconds and then replace — your SMS should work again.

If not you may have SIM card issues and need a replacement.

I’m not sure that the draining the battery works anymore. The battery was completely drained when I left it on all night and it was never the same again. I wrote a little about it in my blog: http://www.everythingtech.net/?p=49

Topping your battery is just what you do if you want your battery get die soon. There is a thing about Li-Ion, calling float voltage. Have you ever heard about that? Check this graph http://powerelectronics.com/portable_power_management/battery_charger_ics/804li-ion-battery-life-Figure02.jpg . Can’t you see, the less you let your battery edge at high voltage, the longer it lives. You can even make your battery live longer if never allow it to charge full (which was completely unacceptable with old Ni-Mn). And otherwise, draining Li-Ion low is not dangerous at all because of automatic switch-off when it is still safe, unless you left your drained battery anttended for months, allowing it self-discharge.

I found the same with the Rogers wireless version of 4.5 I installed for my AT&T 8310. This was only with the bphone Zen profile, though. Since switching to the L profile, I haven’t had a bit of trouble.
