i own a curve 8520 had it about a year. It used to be able to last 4-5 days average usage from fully charged but now im charging it like 4 times a day! I dont keep my bluetooth and wifi on,only when i need to use them and i close all the applications down which i have used so the only ones running are the ones which i cannot close down.
With average usage (i dont go on games and apps much) just texting,bbm,calling and a bit of internet it lasts roughly 6hours.
I fully charged the battery the other day and left it on all night (not using it) and it lasted 8hours until it ran out of battery.Surely this isnt normal,i bought a new battery few days ago but the battery life still hasnt improved.

anyone know what is causing this problem?

You should shrink the OS or juist install a new one.. close apps and connections when you are not using them.

Get the JSL v8 or v7, both have excellent battery life.

buy new battery, mine was so swollen, it wouldn't even close. found a couple on craigs for $40 and works fine, I use it too much and still have to recharge midday on the car...

I can't find a v7 and the v8 isn't out yet for 8530.
