Hi, I have an 1 month old 5230 model. It has a disturbing issue, sometimes the battery is discharging very fast.

Details: Sometimes the battery holds up to 3 days (even though I speak normally and use it for small applications, no internet). But, if I open one of these applications GPS, Camera or Games (which consumes a lot of power) the battery goes down rapidly in less than 12 hours. Don't get this wrong, because when I say open I don't mean use them, I mean open for couple of seconds and close it afterwards (with exit command so the application don't run in the background).

I understand what it means to use a GPS or the camera or playing games for the power consumption , but the problem is that the battery continue to drop down even after closing those applications. This is happening while the back of the phone is hot, which is not before opening this applications.

The only solution I have found so far is to shutdown the phone after using this applications. But this is no way near ease of use, is like shutting down the pc after each program you use.

One good example is what happened today: I charged the phone in the morning (full charge) and at one point of the day, while being in a conversation on the phone, I accidentally pushed the camera button, which became active. 10 seconds later I closed the camera application (without taking any photo or such). At that point the battery indicator was full. 4 hours later, as I am typing this, the phone already said low battery and has 1 little battery line.
