Bought a Samsung E250 phone, but battery is too weak

[Dragunov]

Hi,

I bought this phone, but after a day it told me the battery was almost empty (first charged battery completely), I just made 4 to 5 photos, 2 mms and 4 sms, so the day is almost over and I still can use my phone, not completely, so no mp3, camera, games, cause of the emptyness of the battery, but still can send messages just fine

Anybody else has this issue of those battery drain, maybe cause the battery is new and I need to recharge it a couple of times

Possibility of still using the other tools, disable the warning when battery is almost empty?

thx

I think you will need to update Samsung E250 phone firmware, it will improve the battery.

Like I bought Sony Ericsson S700i years ago, after the battery ran out and recharged it, it took about 8 hours to full charged battery. Few months ago I bought Sony Ericsson USB SyncStation and used it to updated my mobile phone to the latest firmware. After the update I was really surprised the recharged battery took just under 1 hour to full charged.

Found it.

Seem you will need to download PC Studio version for your mobile phone and USB data cable if already supplied with your mobile phone, if not, you will need to get one on ebay very cheap.
