::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 ^^^ I am really sorry for you Samsung GURU, I also agree with you for using original charger, but every one cannot afford to buy original battery charger. Like one of my friend is having LG RD 3K, which cost Rs.1300, and spare battery cost Rs.300. He was unable to find original battery charger for LG, so there is only one way by using these kind of low cost battery charger from road side sellers.

codename83 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 @ankur Thanks for details reviws, and ur effort. 13 hrs is low, even not 1 full day wat about group sms?? good to see that it support .vcf for phonebook. plz revew inernet, get OMH sim from dealer.distributor. etc sorry sorry sorry... That was a typing mistake... it was supposed to be 23 hours this time when i charged it fully, battery lasted for about 22 hours with medium usage again (my medium usage means 2-3 hours of songs playback on earphone, 30 minutes of sending messages to friends. and 15-20 minutes call time... it may be considered heavy usage also.. ) Group sms is supported... just like other phones we can send msg to a group of contacts (groups can be created in phonebook) MTS's OMH sim not available in our area... I am getting 3 Days Full Backup on Battery 3 days ??? does it remain in standby mode all the time ?? or u use it also ?? Guys....i will have to take back my sentence on the battery life made earlier..only for the 1st charge i got 2.5 days.....now i am not even getting one day battery backup with full charge...that too, i only make or receive calls (not more than 60 mins of talk time). i neither play mp3 or fm nor browse....battery backup seems to be a major issue....added to it the charging time is very high ; close to 4 hrs...so, pls purchase this phone only if you are not worried abt battery backup... Battery life is really pathetic !!! I am not using it and yet i have to charge it daily... And this time their is no typing mistake.. I mean it... Its giving 22-23 hours backup under very light usage in "Full Network coverage"... @ Hetal Theyre all saying that it lasts longer for the initial few charges after which the life diminishes especially upon using touch screen extensively.. BTW guys.. This is a major point i put forth while attaching the product note. It said only 950mAh ! that's pretty bad news. with less than one day backup it is definitely not worth the features. But how is Hetal getting such great backups; are you guys sure your set is not faulty? guys..anytakers for this phone. i am ready to give it to 8K - slightly negotiable (10 days old phone. i will also post it in the right forum. Hi, all of you guys, who own Corby speed, tell me one thing, did you charge your phone overnight for its initial charge? bcoz i have till date owned 3 Samsung mobiles and every time i brought a new one, the dealer told me to charge it overnight for its first charge, that increases your backup time. its bcoz the batteries that are shipped with the mobile are only charged 20-30% of their total capacity, so if you don't charge it overnight, it will damage the battery and you will experience low backup problems.
