how is the battery life on V3xx, when you disable 3G?

Posted by: mrweiser

I know you're familiar with SE's so I'll compare to that. I don't have 3G turned off, but I don't live in a 3G area. Just using the V3xx to make phone calls and send text messages it will last almost 3 days. If I use it with my stereo bluetooth headphones while I'm at work I have to recharge every day. My K550i has probably as good or better standby times, but I can get two days out of it while listening to music at work through bluetooth all day. All in all it's not bad for such a small battery. You definitely don't need a charger tethered to your hip.

I just kind of want another flip phone. So that's why I'm considering V3xx. It's reasonably priced

V3xx is a great flip phone and i use the phone with 3g disabled. I usually get about 3 days out of it with average talk and texting go games or music listening. With music goes down to about 2 days. I was not disappointed but lets face it SE is king on battery life. But the V3xx is a monster for reception. In my opinion the V3xx beats the w810i on RF easily

i get about 3 days before i need to recharge. talk about an hour a day average. i don't use any music or camera or anything though... just got the phone for it's excellent RF.

I was going to say 3 days, I live in an area with edge only no 3G. I use my bluetooth headset alot it last about 3 days.

Is it easy to seem edit and disable 3G?

I havent modded mine at all and I usually recharge mine after about 2.5 days.

I'd have to say battery life is not bad, and maybe good, i kinda game and use a lot of data on it so its harder for me to tell compared to normal usage, on average though its better than my v710 was with the standard battery and as good as it (possibly) with the fat extended battery. I mean it is a slim phone with a 240x320 screen, 3g HSDPA, and decent processors, so with all that it does well.

It depends on how you use it. I can usually get mines to work for about 5 days straight with 2-3 hours of phone calls in that time period. If I talk 1-2 hours, it'll go for 7 days easily. This is with 3G disabled, EFR codec forced, and minimum to no other usage (mp3, txting, internet, bluetooth, etc). Overall I am very happy with the battery life.

i get about 2 days with no 3g because where i work i barley get signal. so i know when im indoors its searching for a tower which will help drain the battery.

Yes it is very easy to do. Especially with the new P2kCommander, it pretty much makes seem editting almost fool proof
