Try charginf battery with the display Off

How about charging it every night when you are going to sleep?

In any case, turn off WiFi, LCD, GPS, bluetooth and any other data connections while not using it.
If you charge using the supplied USB cable, be sure to set the LCD brightness to minimum for a much faster charge.

It is much better to charge battery over travel charger, it must be just few hours for full charge

Are you, by any chance, charging the unit with a computer?

There is a significant difference in charging with the supplied wall charger compared to the USB cable. Just use the wall charger and your charge times will drop to about 3 hours from 10% battery to full charge.

If you have lost the wall charger, be sure to set the LCD brightness to minimum while charging through USB.

Don't use USB for charging if you have a wallcharger at hand....it takes way too long!!

Wallcharger on empty battery 2 Full charge takes about 2 hours.

2 hour full charge with wall charger wow!!! i was thinking usb charger will be faster. and my other question is should i use my original dopod wall charger or other wall charger is fine? let me know

Of course the original charger is the best to use.
If you do not have the original charger, find a charger that outputs 5V and 1A.

Charging via USB seems to be a MS Windows Mobile issue, not necessarily an Anthena problem. Since WM5 Aku 3, most devices have issues charging over USB..

After using U1000 for almost a month now, I don't feel that the battery life is any better than my Universal. If it's better, perhaps, a little bit better.
