battery
I have a pair of Nokia 2128i's which I seem to be getting very poor battery life out of. i.e. I'll charge the battery to a full charge and leave the phone on (w/o the charger attached) and just sitting on a nightstand prior to going to bed. 7 hour later when I get up I'll find the battery has already dropped to 2 or 3 bars (of 7) on the battery indicator. I do have a signal but it's not on the strong side (3 bars of 7). I can make calls fine. The local VW store tech person told me that if I'm in an area that doesn't have a full strength signal, that in essence the phone is having to work harder to stay connected to the network, even when not on a call, and that is why the batteries charge drops so quickly. Also this is a digital signal...

yes to some degree, but not that severe. that phone should go two or three days with light use even in low signal. Have you changed any of the display settings? You don't have your backlight on constantly or anything like that?

Yeah, the battery was full charged at 8:30AM, I've had one conversation on the phone that lasted about 10 minutes. Otherwise the phone has just been sitting, now it's already down to 5 of 7 bars at 3PM. The display settings are very conservative. Backlight off at 7 seconds, etc.
