I've had my 9700 since about the first week they came out and this has happened to me only about 4-5 times.. I don't have heavy use so I go a long time between charges and am very happy with the battery life.

but every once in a while i will go to bed and my phone will show plenty of life so i don't bother charging. I will wake up to the battery life warning and it will have nothing left. Any ideas? Nothing is running that can be shut off when this happens, i check everytime. Not sure what could be causing it.

Thanks

what operating system are you using? is its anything under 5.0.0.442 please upgrade...

He's right, an OS upgrade should do the trick. I've never had that issue w/ my 9700. Good luck.

Anything running in the background? If so, make sure u exit the program properly.

again just make sure nothing is running in the background

i would upgrade the OS and see if it helps. the newer OS's have pretty good battery life.

I had issue with one of the application, Formula1. I exit the program but it somehow did not manage to do so and still running in the background. The next morning, the battery indicator is RED.

sometimes, FB does the same thing. it will still show running even after i close it. usually, you need to give it a few minutes and it will close out. if not, i reboot to make sure its shutdown.

Start plugging it in at night anyways

Heh, the same thing happened to me too. It was the weirdest thing!

When I upgraded my OS it fixed it.

i have this problem as well
all that i can do is to switch the phone off when i go to bed.

[EnoughIsEnough]

I understand that switching off the 3G connection helps a lot with battery life.

If you're not using any data while sleeping (and I'd love to know how you'd do that) just switch from 3G to 2G at bed time?

I haven't had much of a battery problem at all....I need to not charge my battery as much tho I tend to only charge when needed

I usually go 3 days from full to a quarter with minimal usage and 2 days with heavy, which is still kick-arse!

I have used Options, Auto On/Off for years. Saves all the hassle.

Only problem with auto on/off is your phone is off which means u can't be reached!! I still wanna call no matta what time it could be urgent rather just take the battery drain route and keep my battery healthy! Lol

I had this problem occasionally with the .330 OS that came with the phone, except I only noticed it during the daytime. It would suddenly start losing 10 - 20 % and hour. A battery pull would solve the problem. I haven't had it happen since I updated the OS.
