You may have to buy a new battery. I found a local battery distributor, that was very reasonable and my phone is back in the pink. What type of phone do you have? If you have a Smartphone and one of the current models, you could upgrade to Android L (lollipop) as that OS version is supposed to be very efficient when using batteries...almost twice as longer according to some sales and tech figures.

My phone is several years old now, and I feel no compelling reason to move into the modern smart-phone era. My phone has a browser and a camera and I almost never use them; it has some games, too, which I have never played. For me it's just a phone, and a calendar/clock. Hell, I don't even play music on it. I digress. I've noticed lately that it seems to require charging more frequently, and it's certainly not because it's constantly in active use. Is this an indication that it's getting to be time for a new battery? -- Arthur _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
