hi guys i have an iphone 3g and the battery is lasting about half hour form been fully charge. so im gessing the battery is f***ed. phone 2.5 years old how

1. how much are they and where to get one from?
2.how easy is it to change?

thanks guys nd girls
 
Hi Mate , changing the battery is quite a long process it means taking the lcd screen & digitizer out , 2 screws new the charger dock , even the motherboard has to come out on the 3g iphones the battery is underneath the mb, it is also stock to the back cover so you will need to prize it away from the back, the batteries themselves are dirt cheap on ebay.
Before you do anything mate , is your iphone jailbroken?, if it is back it up and restore in itunes, and just see if the jailbreak had something to do with it.
there are plenty of tuts on how to change the battery , just let me know what you want to do mate.

cheers guys,

i looked at the tut, and thought NO NO i will nack it up :( so took it to the shop down the road £30 pick it up at 4.30 today. it would have cost me 13.00 for battery and tools of amazon, so let someone do it for me :)

just hope it sorts it just remember to give it a good charge mate
 
make sure blutooth 3g and wifi are switched off when not in use and your battery life will be great. unless you are actually on the phone the phone alot. sbsettings is great and has shortcuts to do all of this if you dont already have it.
 
well got my phone back £30 charge it up last night 100% got up and it was dead? so where does this put up what can it be?
 
is the phone jailbroken? if it is as biffo mentioned restore your phone. it may be something from the jailbreak.
