Hi
I've not had my phone for very long, when I first got it the battery would last around 3 days before needing charging.
Just lately, the phone is not even lasting 24 hours!!! I have recently had where I have charged it and it says there is something like 2 days or so before needing to be recharged but not even 24 hours later I either have something like 9% battery power left or my phone has switched off where it has run out completely.
I have uninstalled all recent apps incase it was one of them, turned everything I can to not run in the background and turned off location.
What else can I do to make the battery last more than a few hours? I am getting to the stage of thinking of reverting back to my 2g phone as it lasted more than a week on a single charge.

Thank you, I will give that a try.
I am not overlly impressed with the lumia phone, I have always had Nokia's so I got the lumia and although it has some good features I do think other phones are better so if I have to replace the battery I might prefer to change the phone - probably not that much difference in price.

batteries do seem to have memory issues of the past, but many are blamed on calibration. If this was the case my s2 battery would still last over a day (not the anywhere from 10 mins to 8 hours it currently lasts)
As for the 530, I found removing message+, vodafone apps and the things you won't use did the trick (I've had mine a week - not impressed with battery life at all, this does not bode well for the 630 I'll be reviewing soon)
