I was wondering... What kind of symptoms do you get when your battery is starting to die? I'm getting some crazy battery drain problems. First I've got a good 50% charge. I make a 10 min call and the phone restarts with the battery at 0%. No warnings or anything. I've got a couple new batteries coming by mail. I was just wondering if maybe I have some other problem with my phone. Thanks in advance.

Hi!

got a similar problem.. I don't know if it is a battery problem or a SW problem. Please, let me know if a new battery solved yours.

thanks

Hi, just check my post at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2508856&postcount=5

You can download and use PowerDetect from there. charge your battery to 100% and run the program. It will give the % of battery and the voltage. it logs the results to a text document. While running, your wizard will turn off/restart. after that, charge again to see the test results. If you see the voltage is running low very quickly, then your battery will be dead.
just buy an new battery and you'll be fine;)

good luck!

battery would start fully charged at 100%
used it for maybe 10 min? and went down to probably 60%
a moment later it's down to 40%...
try to wrap up your stuff and the 20% warning comes on

that's the battery dying. i bought a new one off of amazon and now it tends to go down slowly. i can use it off and on the whole day and it ends up 50-60%, pretty close to how it was when it was new

I dry up mine pretty fast! but i am always using the mobile.. can't get enough of the 9100 :D

i did a burnout test once. Light at max level, screen tap sounds, bluetooth and wifi on, and connected. IE and MSN, with multitasking between both. I can only say lol. :p

It was the battery. New battery new lease on life. Working great now. Now I have to do some USB repairs from having to charge so much...
