Have an E72 for 2 weeks now and I am getting no more than 1 day from the battery which is unusual as I have been an E71 user for a long time with great battery performance.Apart from possible faulty battery can anyone suggest some ways to try to improve the battery performance. I have turned off the Bluetooth.
View 6 RepliesI have my BB Torch 4 days. 2 days ago, after removing the fully charged device from the wall charger around 6PM, the next morning the device was off with a fully depleted battery. Yesterday, after fully charging again I removed from the wall charger at 11:20 AM and today at 8:56 AM the battery is 25% depleted.
I have checked for running aps, which I cannot find. The only difference is that 2 days ago the green led in the camera flash was burning, yesterday it was not. Actually it's burning again now -
Why is this green led light burning and how does that relate to the battery life?
So had my N900 for a little over a week now and overall I'm pretty impressed. Great phone, but still very much a work in progress. One of the main issues I have at the moment, other than no turn-by-turn navigation (sorry, had to mention it), is the battery life - or lack of!
On an average weekday I use the phone to send a few texts (no more than 10), scan the news sites (no more then 20-30mins total) and catch up on my RSS feeds (again, no more than 20-30 mins total). I'm not using the media player at all and I may make one or two short calls.
Bottom line is that I'm struggling to get more than 6 hours battery life out of it. I know smart phones are thirsty, but I don't even get to listen to music on my way to or from work!Here's what I've already done to reduce battery consumption:
Removed active widgets (such as ForcaWeather) from desktops and replaced with web shortcuts.Reduced screen brightness to 2 barsDisabled GPS & Network positioningDisabled IMDisabled BluetoothI've heard some mention reducing the amount of active desktops, but I think that kinda defeats the object of having a N900. May as well buy a lesser phone if you need to strip out all the functionality to get though the day. I'd be satisfied with 8-10 hours medium use. At the moment I'm getting around 6 hours at light use - got to be something I'm missing.
I've got a Nokia N95 with the latest 35.0.002 firmware and a brand new genuine Nokia BL-5F battery. When I first got the battery I cycled it twice to calibrate the gauge as recommended. However, it shows 100% 7 bars until the battery is almost discharged, when it will drop about a bar every 10 minutes until it no longer switches on. This is quite annoying as I don't know how much battery I have left. I'd like it to stop lying to me and drop steadily according to how much charge is left. Also, if I discharge the battery a bit by, say, browing the web so the battery gauge is still showing full and then plug the charger in for a few seconds and unplug it again, it then shows me the true battery level by dropping a couple of bars. However, it will get "stuck" at this level until the charger is connected and disconnected again.It shows full for about two days of heavy usage - WiFi, 3G, GPS and all that, upon when the gauge drops. Is there a way to calibrate it better or should I flash the phone again? Or is the battery faulty?
View 5 Replies View RelatedNeed Help/Suggestion from Mobile Gurus right here .I have 1 Year Old N73 ME and I mainly use it for Calling and Texting. Very Occasionally I use it for Music/Gaming and Browsing the Web.The phone is completely in excellent condition
The problem is that: While charging ONLY the Battery gets too much HOT and it never shows Battery is Full (Charged it for Max 1 Hour 45 Minutes) This problem suddenly appeared, so I formatted the Memory Card as well as Hard Format/Reset the Phone, but still the Battery is heating too much
After disconnecting the Phone from Charger, the Battery is FULL and I can use it without any problem and as usual. The Talktime right now is around 2.5 Hours and Standby time is around 2-3 Days
can i replace my n8 battery with a higher mAh battery?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have just bought an E72 and am appalled by how short the battery life is (having migrated from a Blackberry). Anyone have the same experince?
View 21 Replies View RelatedI've noticed a weird behavior with my E75 (sw ver 202.12.01).Sometimes the battery gets drained from full to nough over one night, sometimes the phone will last a few days on one charge.I have a culprit nominee and it's the GPS data application, which doesn't really quit. Sure, it exits, it doesn't appear in the Running apps list, but the GPS lock comes in surprisingly fast (in a second or two) so I guess it never really quits.
I have charged my phone and rebooted so that the GPS data doesn't get in the way, and I'll see how it goes. But I am already pretty convinced.
I have got the back off the phone, but I can't find how to get the battery out. I don't want to force anything.Please could someone tell me how to do it. I read another post about the same question, it said there was a space near to where you press the buttons to remove the back, but didn't actually say what to do with the space?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI purchased nokia 5800XM 2months back .. i updated it from v40 to FW v50 ...it was working fine ...but just 2 days back my battery became hot .. i was not calling or dong anything ...then i went to nokia care .. they told me that it has virus which makes the battery hot is it possible ?
then they said that there are issues with downloading it directly from internet ...then they formatted and updated my mobile to v 50 ... but now there was many things changed ...there is no animation when i press the middle button to menu... it opens directly !!moreover for dialing also no animation and for phone book entry also .. then i said this to nokia care but they said the animation is not there in v50...plzzz help me out .. i liked that animation so much ...is it because they might have deleted system files from my mobile !
After finally getting rid of my 5800 doorstop, I'm now the (proud?) owner of an N97. I've encountered a fair few of the software/ c: problems and using many of the usefull tips to help with those, BUT - after 2 weeks my supplied battery (BP-4L) now won't charge more than half full and when used it dies after minutes when using the internet or an application. Thats just not right, it got an initial 24 charge and bi nightly, then nightly recharges in the first week, and its having to be left on charge constantly now.
So I rang my SP Vodafone as it was only 2 weeks old, and the chap said the 4L was the wrong battery? he said it should be a 5f but as he had none he would send me a BL-6F which was compatible and would last longer. Can't believe this will be correct, surely its a smaller battery, its also 1200mah as opposed to 1500mah so will drain quicker. Any Techy chaps know whether this'll be acceptable. Drawing up the strength for another bash at the SP, but its like speaking dutch to them.
my nokia n82 phone din't inform me battery full ... when i trying to charing it is going on charging but never informs battery full...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with auto shutdowns on my E90 - started a month ago. I have performed 2x soft reset. Hard reset (*#7370#), format of microSDHC, removal of microSDHC, run clean (no apps, no contacts, no bookmarks, no calendar entries - & no microSDHC) -- and still it shuts down. White screen shows, followed by Nokia Logo, then off.
Tried keeping bluetooth on this morning because someone said they tried that on their E72. This thing has gone off several times already today while searching for the a solution here. Battery maybe
The problem is that my battery indicator stays full all the time. Battery life is OK (2-3 days) but is very annoying cause I don't know the battery level. It pass from max level directly to 1line and shortly the phone switch off.I tried 3 kind of firmwares (including last one 410.21.010), charging phone in different ways, different chargers, hard reset etc. and nothing.The phone is new (2 weeks of use) but no warranty.Any solution?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI purchased a brand new E52 at amazon.de.The device is super, I've got all things running without any problems. The programs running in background on the device were:
- Push Exchange sync over WLAN (if available) or UMTS;
- VoIP Client, always registered.
The device worked about 16 hours; after wards was the battery empty. Well, I had two GSM/UMTS conversations - 5 minutes each - and I tested the OVI maps - maybe 15 minutes navigation with A-GPS.There is one more thing: the device gets pretty warm.The phone was RMAd back to amazon.de. I've got a new one: it was pretty the same.My question: am I unlucky or is the E52 generally so? Should I try once more, I mean, a new delivery?My old E51, which is unfortunately already Ebay'ed, did work with the same load at least 3 days. And, don't forget, it has a smaller battery than the E52.
I noticed today as I took off the back cover that the battery area is very loose and if I just turn it over, the battery would fall out. Anyone else have this problem?

View 6 Replies View RelatedSomebody was suggesting me this, to improve the performance of the battery overclock the phone to 900MHz, it will slow down the processor but will save quite a bit of battery.
My question is: is it trueHow safe it is, will it cause any damage, working, functionality, features of the phone.What side effect, negative effect can it have on the working of the phone.
I upgraded my firmware on my 5800 to V50 2 days ago. Everything seemed to work fine.Yesterday I noticed the battery getting very hot for a few hours. I wasn't doing anything particularly intensive - I was surfing with Opera, doing some uploading of pictures to OVI - stuff that I quite often do without any battery problems. Overnight the battery had drained and was empty.I'm sure I did not leave any applications running overnight. The battery was fully charged before I went to bed.It's now charging, and seems to be functioning OK.Of course I don't know for sure that the firmware update is the reason for the rapid draining of the battery, or the earlier overheating. Does anyone have any suggestions?

View 6 Replies View Relatedhaving looked through some of the discussions, it seems that the battery life of the N70 is generally pretty bad, for whatever reason. and considering the price of a new one, and the fact that a lot of the companies selling them cheaply get pretty bad reviews.
I have this peculiar problem for the past two months alone...every time i restart my phone - N82 the battery indicator drops by a point...sometimes two...also the indicator is not stable...it shows 4 points remaining but as soon as i turn on gprs it shows battery low!! can some one help...i've been breaking my head for the past 2 months with energy profiler...tried to find out a reason but nothing was making any point...also say after 2 or 3 days of continuous usage there are spikes in the energy consumption corresponding to spikes in cpu usage...but when i restart things are normal.
View 22 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my phone to the latest firmware and there have been many, many good features such as the revamped map system. However, there are 2 major issues, the first being that the battery life has degraded. Its so bad that I charge it and sometimes it doesnt last a day. I dont know if anyone else has this problem? But its somewhat annoying, is there something that can be done about it? Also, the phone has gotten somewhat slower as well
