Any1 here had any issues with their batteries on the SK17i... Today i grabbed my week old phone to dial a number and it was completly off. i wcould swear that the battery was between 30% and 40% an hour earlier. No WIFI no 3G it was just sitting idling. When i tried turning it on it wouldnt and just blinks red...battery pull didnt do the trick so i charged it and "Voila" it starts. To my suprise the battery indicator showed 1% and the lots of the phone parameters weree completly lost-Time and Date were reset, Data counter...it's like the internal battery/clock got screwed up or smthg (that is if it has an internal battery).

Any input, solutions...it seems to be charging now but why would such a thing happen?

Ideas?

I think your unit is peraphs defective... I have two batteries and I change them, and the phone doesn't lose any configuration in the process 😕
