Battery life
Please Login to Remove!
So I charge my phone, up 100%, around about 11am ish.

Anyone elses battery like this? Or am I gonna be forced to buying a new one?

What's your reception like around where you are -- poor signal strength can take a beating on battery. Since I'm on WAP I can't see if you have a GSM or CDMA phone -- I heard CDMA ones use up more battery as well.
Other things to check: do you have unnecssary programs running in the background? Screen brightness? Auto dim?

I dont think i have any apps running in the background, ill just check to make sure.
The background light was on 100, i changed that to 20, ermmm i turned auto dim off.
I tried to turn that blinking light off, at the top, but it just made it stop blinking lol
Ill see if that helps, thank you.

By blinking light I'm guessing you're referring to the green LED service indicator? Yeah you can turn that off. I think its a waste of battery.

Options > Screen/Keyboard > LED Coverage Indicator = Off.

I tried that, and it just made the light stay on, constantly, without blinking.

Try removing the battery for 30 seconds, while the device is powered on, and see if that helps.
