Recently upgraded to z500 and find it very good. Was advised by Vodafone to charge battery for 16 (sixteeen ) hours before switching it on for the first time. This is because there is a memory chip in samsung batteries which will kick inthe battery full at 100%.

I do find it difficult to download my music files to the phone tho as it tells me the folder is wrong.

Any suggestions?

                hello guys is nothing wrong with the phone batteri... it's just that samsung E700/E710/Z500 and the phone is the same series has bad batteri time. also samsung haven't beed great when it comes to battery time. what i think samsung lack most today is a good phone book like nokia or sonyericsson. and battery time. other option is good....

                      Vodafone told me that the Z500 needs to be fully charged and discharged 5 times before the battery becomes fully active. Try that. Personally, I think the phone is excellent.

                            You cannot change the battery life now that you have done the first charge.

                            I called vodafone and they wont send out a new battery as they 'have had no complaints'...

                                  yeah i have also had problems with the battery and so has my mum. its interesting that somebody has said the first charge has to be for 12hours as I only got instructed to charge for 2 hours - is there anything i can do to improve the battery life now - my 3g is off.do you think i should just get a new battery like somebody else did?apart from this the phone is good!!

                                      I just rang vodafone and they said that turning gprs off on your phone makes the battery last longer too- and i hardly use the wap so turning gprs wont affect me, and when i want to go on wap i will just turn it on.

                                        1. Turn your phone off of 3G if you dont use video calls- battery life will last MUCH longer.

                                        2. When you first get the phone you have to do the FIRST charge for 12-14hours, otherwise the phone will never charge fully- will only charge to like 60% everytime.

                                        I turn 3G off, and did a 12hour charge and the battery is ok, until I watch TV or listen to mp3's then it dies fast.
                                        So it has a bad battery, but if you do the two things I said then it will last longer.
