Hi, sorry for late reply just saw your message! Yes, after a couple of charges & discharges it will get used to you. Be sure to fully charge, until the blue battery icon appears on the top bar with 100% showing & a tone sounds.Try not to use the phone while charging. Turn off 3G when not in use & turn off packet data/synching when possible & wifi/bluetooth when not in use. After a few weeks I could get 2-3 days easily with average use. Don't use a Task Killer app or a battery monitor app, these actually use battery. Hope this helps. I've had my phone for 10 months now & battery is as good as any other Android handset. Hope this helps. Graham. london
