Nokia :: E72 - Battery Hardly Staying For 2 Days / GPS Not Working
Jan 7, 2010
I bought a Nokia E72 two weeks back. Don't have much problems with it. Its a great phone. The only problem I see here is with battery life. Before the phone release it was said that the phone will have 11hr of battery back on call. I was expecting the battery to stand for 3+ days with normal usage, but I am really disappointed by nokia it hardly goes for 2+ days. Any one have any trick to make the battery stay longer or any way to handle the phone which will keep the battery well. The second problem I see with phone is the GPS does not seem to be working. But when I use some external application that uses GPS, it works. I am using google maps which works awesome.
I will keep posting for any new problem encountered. One more big question is that , when the new firmware will get released, how do we install it on phone, do we loose data on phone, do we loose any functionality? Can a firmware resolve the battery issue? I found a nice site where we have many free awesome softwares for nokia e71. www.getjar.com. Every possible software is available here. just set your phone model, and the site will have everything compatible to the phone. Nice web site, I really liked it.

I have a problem, since I updated my HTC One M8 to Android Lollipop, battery stays at 1%, placing the charger for more than two hours the smartphone charged, but just 1% is still displayed in the battery.
I've read many posts about poor battery life since the last Lollipop update and am suffering the same issues! However, mine appears to be because the phone is constantly awake and WiFi is constantly on. I have 'extended standby' enabled which should kill the WiFi when the screen is off, should it not?
My email is set up correctly. The message will sit in the outbox until I remove the battery and reinstall. Once this is done it sends without issue. Running 4.5.605.
Is it normal for my 8520's battery to last just 1-2 days after charging? I have it for about 2months now, and don't make use of a lot of apps (mostly emails, facebook).
I suddenly got a huge problem with my X8 - the battery won't charge at all. A week ago everything worked as it should, battery time was good and it hadn't been significatly shorter since I bought the phone. A few days ago it wouldn't charge when I connected it to my laptop, neither did it charge when I connected it to the wall jack. However, the battery charge symbol on the screen went on. Switching the phone of didn't make any difference (though the flash symbol for battery charging went on). Of course it died completely pretty soon, and I can't get it chargen enough to start it.
I'm not even sure that this is a hardware problem (since the operating system says that the battery was recharging), and I want to avoid buying a new battery unless i'm sure that that's the problem, after all they're pretty expensive and I plan to buy one of the newer SE phones in a couple om months anyway, though I can't do it right away. I guess I could stick to some old cell phone until then, but i really would like to get a copy of some of the stuff on the internal memory (phone book, messages, bookmarks, some software preferences etc).
I got my Torch a little less than a year ago.The past couple of months, I have to do a battery pull every couple of days because it is freezing?There is no one app that seems to cause it to freeze, as I have had it happen on 5 different ones.Is this something that should be fixed?
My bbm hasn't been working for a few days; whenever i try to send messages the tick comes up without the d (delivered) and whenever anyone tries to message me it comes up with a red cross.
I do not use my phone much and my W995 used to last of over a week on one charge. After a recent software update at the beginning of September 2010, my battery now only last a couple of days. Does anyone have any suggestions on why this might be?
My Blackberry Bold 9700's LED stopped working after only two days. I have tried wiping the unit clean, checked the bedside mode, silent mode (sound profiles), etc. Anyone else having problems with theirs?
I have my calendar option set to keep appointments for 15 days and my Outlook to only sync future appointments. However, my appointments stay in my BB way past the 15 days and I have to go in and manually delete them.
I am using windows 7 and been having trouble for staying connected to internet from my laptop through n97 3g network.am using PC suite n it says internet by itself is disconnected and then i have to reconnect it using the pc suite.
I like to get a new 5800 as it fits my needed features and the budget. but because it was released in 2008 it seems a little old phone. So do you guys think its worth buying the 5800? Or suggest another phone with similar specifications and price range.
I got one problem, that is my N82 phone is jumping date, for Example: i just have returned back to normal yesterday and today is Saturday 16.01 but it is saying monday 18.01. every week i have to get it back. i have checked the Date and times setting and put to the time zone i belong and country ofcourse and switched On/Off Network Operator Time but nothing helped so far, the phone is updated with new firmware.
My Nokia 5130c-2 Software Gets Corrupted after every 2 or 3 days or When using Bluetooth.I Purchased it on 28 April 2010.I have to go to Nokia Care for that every 4 or 5 days Is there any solution for this problem? or Should i switch to another phone cause i can't afford to visit Nokia care and Laminate my phone every 2 or 3 days cause they remove lamination every time they update phone's software.
We received a X6 32 with 1 year free Comes with Music.On going back into the Music store it asked me to register the PIN again, only to be told that although I have 362 days left, the PIN is not longer valid.I fear this could have come about from us putting another SIM card in the phone.Could this be the reason, and what is the solution?
I was one of the first to recieve a Nokia Luma 800. I was quite happy with it because I had wanted one since Nokia first announced they would build a Windows Phone.
During the software update to build 1600.2487.8107.12070, my phone froze. The update went well, but during the final restart, the screen just showed "Nokia". Eventually the batteries went dead, even thought the power cable was plugged in.
I brought the device to an official Nokia repair point, and got it back factory resetted. That first time it cost me half a day to restore my settings.
However, since that day, every now en then the phone just completely resets: I get to enter all my windows live account again and to reinstall all software. Today even installing software didn't work: I got an error message whenever I tried to install a program. I also noted an extra options in my settings page, starting with "@ApplicationsInstallfd7.." That time I manually restored my phone to factory settings, so I could reinstall everything again.
My guess is that it's either a hardware problem, or that the last software update failed. There doesn't seem to be an option to re-install the latest firmware, so I'm not able to check this.
I am using nokia E5-00 and its log has a slight problem, even though I've set the log duration to 30 days but it still doesn't maintain a log of the previous 30 days. The recent calls log only shows the last four or five calls in received calls and dialed numbers and just one or two in missed calls. Does Nokia E5 have a very small log memory or am I only having the problem?
I had got a Nokia music unlimited account with my N8 phone. I had last changed my registered PC somewhere in the first week of march. But subsequently upgraded to Windows 7 and therefore lost all my music on my PC.However, once 90 days had passed, I tried to sign in using Ovi Music player, I get a message telling me that this is not my registered PC and asks me whether I am sure I would like to make my current PC my registered PC. However, when I click 'Yes, I'm sure', Ovi music player gives me an error that "something has gone wrong with Ovi music player.
Before i updated to Belle, there was no issue with the battery monitor. But after i updated and then installed Battery Monitor, it is kind of stuck on the loading screen for a long long time. it just keeps loading and loading.
I come with an interesting problem regarding my N73. It is a bit long. Here is a bit of back story:
I have(or had) two Nokia N73 one was a North American model and the other from Japan (called Softbank 705NK). About 2 weeks ago, I gave the North American one to my brother because he was without working phone. Last Thursday the battery in that phone took a dump and needed to be replaced. He turned the phone off to go into a meeting and when he went to turn it back on it would not turn on(It had a full charge on it when shut off). Putting it on a charger did not work. I tried charging the phone up with the other Nokia charger I had and it did not work. Then I tested the battery by putting it into the Japan Market N73 and the battery still did not work. I then put the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) N73’s battery into his phone and the phone turned on. I also checked both chargers on this phone and both worked on his phone with the JDM N73’s battery. I concluded his battery was dead and gave him my battery and promptly ordered a new battery from Nokia for the JDM N73. (I was not using it anyway at that time)
Here is where it gets interesting, on this past Saturday I decided to try the “dead” N73 battery one last time before I tossed it out and I put it in the JDM N73 and it worked and it charged and performed well under heavy use (i.e. picture taking and surfing the web). Today I put it down and it shuts off (with a full battery). I figure I must have pushed the off button on it and turn it back on. All is well until I slide the camera cover open and it shuts off again. I turn it on a third time and tap the left side (the non side button side) absent minded while pondering something and it turns off a third time. So this time I power it up and tap the spot above the IRDA (on the side without side buttons) and sure enough it shut off. I duplicated this a third time with the same results. I then took the battery cover off and discovered the battery does have some side to side play but looks secure. I was able to get it to shut off with a really hard wiggle but it does not seem to break contact under normal duress.
The shutting off when opening the camera lens cover and the tapping of the side of the phone lead me to think it is a lose battery. This phone never gave me an ounce of trouble with the original OEM battery that came with it and likewise the North American N73 never gave me trouble with the battery(until it died). So why did it start now? Would a battery that is on its last legs be more susceptible to vibration/movement? I will be trying it with the new OEM battery arriving from Nokia (should arrive ether Mon or Tues) to see. Should it turn out to be a loose battery, how does one fix it? Would wrapping a strand or two of electrical tape around the sides of the battery to thicken out the battery fix it or will the old paper on top of the battery help?
It just started yesterday. The phone would shut off randomly and then the only way for it to come back up is to plug it in. Sometime it complete shut off where I would have to turn it back on or plugging it would just go straight to the home screen. Now the phone wont go past the apple sign at all. I got to the home screen two times today and one time it it had no connection and lost service and then it came back and then it had no service again. So I turned it off to try and get signal again.
Eventually it came back on and the phone worked for about 2 minutes and then just complete shut off while still plugged in. I am now trying to restore it and it keeps shutting of mid restore and then I have to keep putting it back into DFU mode or however you spell it. The phone has the most up to date firmware but do I need to start the download over if the phone cycled randomly while it the download was still downloading from itunes or do I just put it back into that mode and let it continue downloading?
I made a call this morning and then I put it in my back pocket. Ten minutes later when I was going to use it the screen would not come on. I thought it was turned off but it would not turn on when i held down the sleep button and when I called my phone it didn't go strait to voice mail so I know it is still on. I know it isn't dead becuase I fully charged it last night. When I plugged it in to the charger it didn't vibrated like usual. Also when I plugged it into my computer it wouldnt show up on iTunes. I'm at a complete loss of what to do.
my pearl 8100 every time i plug it into my computer it will connect then couple seconds later it will disconect and reconnect and disconect again over and over again and i don't kno why and it takes forever to charge sometime when i plug it in the charge sihn will come up but it doesn't charge..
I have ringtones assigned to different people in my contact list.Unfortunately, for one person, the ringtone I have assigned for him doesn't play. Instead, a wimpy US Cellular tone plays, which is very quiet and doesn't get my attention. I have tried over and over again to have a different ringtone play, and it shows it as being the assigned ringtone for calls from this person, but the wimpy US Celluar ringtone plays instead. How do I get the correct ring tone to play? I have this with other contacts as well.I also want the same ringtone to play when I get a text message, but a standard ringtone plays instead.
Go to settings, general then gestures calibration is there. If your having probs with your screen staying black whilst making a call so you cant end it etc then hold your finger over the sensor whilst calibrating. It worked for me.
My Verz HTC One "stays awake" in airplane mode...I put my phone in airplane mode at work due to no signal but my battery will drain and my battery history shows the phone awake the whole time (no screen shot) Hard reset fixes problem only for a short period..there are no apps running...
Having issue with the alarm clock not staying on the alarm they choose. Today is the second time I chose an alarm and it didn't go off because the phone had a different alarm set.
