W610 battery problem??

[mazinya]

Hi guys, i think my w610 battery has a problem.
It takes more than 8 hours to charge it..
makes any sense??

I would like to add that this is the 3rd time im charging the phone since i got it

[Snipes mcgee]

It doesn't take 8 hrs, it just never really tells you when the battery is full unless you check the status.

[mazinya]

When the phone is done charging it tells me charging completed.

The phone is charging for 12 hours already and the status says 87% when 2 hours ago it was 84%.

Now i just unplugged the charger and it jumped to 93%.
I plugged it again and it went back to 88%. A sec after that, i checked the status and it 92%.

The status is very unreliable. every time i check it says different percenteges

What the heck is going on here??

What's the firmware?

I think one of the first things that I did when I got my W610 was get the new firmware from SE update service.

[mazinya]

I did... Its the:

cxc1250747
R6BC002
070607

One more thing.. i dont know if that the case, but when i got the phone, the battery was 33%.

[mazinya]

Can someone please answer? i need to know if the battery is defected or not

[darkninja]

The only way to tell is to try a new battery and see if your phone produces the same result. But it sounds like the battery is defective.

[mazinya]

i will go tomorrow and replace the batt...

but last questions..

1. maybe its the charger that is defective and not providing enough power fo rthe phone? if i try to charge my W610i with a K610i charger, will that be good? i mean, the chargers are producing the same power right?

My charger says on it: Sont Ericsson standard charger CST-60
but on the K610i it says CST-70

does that mean the k610i charger produces more power? or is it just a model number?

2. when you get the battery first time out of the box, does it suppose to be completely empty? or it suppose to have some amount of power in it? cuz mine had 33% when i first plugged it in the phone. Is that normal?

Well I just got my W610i today and it had some charge to start out with.
And every other phone I have ever bought came with some residual charge so that you can use it, so to the best of my knowledge, yes it should come with some charge in the battery already.

ok thats good to know.

Can someone who has the W610i tell me how much time it takes for his phone to get to full charge?

[Hreed02]

Well mine charged in under 3 hours fully as it was fully charged at 12 pm and I got it at about 1030 am.

My w610i would charge from dead to full in under 3 hours.

[mazinya]

that realy makes me feel bad to hear that
i dont know if the battery is the problem, the charger is or the phone is
