any of these can effect battery life:

1. battery's age
2. firmware updates
3. turn on/off UMTS/DUAL mode or only GSM
4. User's usage
5. Coverage of gsm and 3g

if im not mistaken, i've done it in my 5610xm before.. need to do some searching in your phone settings..

turn off 3g and use only GSM coverage.. can save more batt life

oh mannn.. i donno.. sorry.. i though it's the same as 5610.. donno that it doesnt have 3g like it's big bro.. ahh well

don_naza ...maybe your batt is faulty.. try askin other 5310 users how long their batt lasts and their day to day usage.

yeah i know what u mean. i bought 2 crystal casings for my 5610 and it breaks in about a month or so. a waste of money because it always cracks on the bottom corners.

so i decided to buy a soft cloth casing, like socks for your feet la, and need to take out when want to use the phone. then i bought myself a side belt casing.

dont buy a silicone casing, it will get loose in time and collect a LOT of dust..

i think that nokia has stopped production of 5310 and also because there very little stock of it in Malaysia and/or a lot of people buy it which makes it rare.

the battery can last how long? kembang batt cant last really long and will show inaccurate batt power levels.

maybe u can glue it back but it wont have the same feeling when u use it like it was before.

i think don_naza is correct, and u should change the whole casing

there's numerous kinds of casing out there, grade AAA, AP set casing, ori casing etc..

you need to find out in trade zone. and ask whether it is ori or not and what tools(special screw drivers) are needed if you want to assemble it yourself.

maybe can get from people selling outside of forums.. cause people in forums sell around rm3xx
