Nokia 6133 - battery charge life

Hi all,
First post here. I have noticed that my new Nokia 6133 has a very short battery charge life. I already did the usual 3 full discharge/charges and was now expecting it to last several days. I charged it yesterday, logged 20 minutes of send/received calls, one received e-mail msg and the battery is now less than half charged. Also, I have the screen savers off.
Are there better batteries available for this Nokia 6133 model?
Thanks,
JPRola

eew, reading: I read your comment, wherein you sounded rather irritated.... how could somebody ask such a stupid questions does he know nothing about computers? You are right I am no computer geek - just a simple user who loves the Mac. I have read the whole page and no where does it give a layman like me even the faintest idea that in real life the charge could be as low as 33% of the up to figure!
Hi Josh,
Eew, myself and many of the other "regulars" respond to thread identical to yours on a daily basis. There are hundreds of threads started in the past 90 days where the first post is pretty much identical to yours: "So Apple advertised 8-9 hours but I'm not getting it, why?" Even looking at my own posting history, I've responded to 46 threads with this same theme since June 1st. So while I can't speak for eew, I understand his perceived frustration.
Your battery life is going to vary based on usage, as I'm sure you know. I can routinely get 5+ hours of light usage on my new machine but if I tax it then I can easily drain the battery in about 2 hours, sometimes even faster if I really wanted to prove a point.
As for "sales gimmicks," at the end of the day Apple is in the business of making money. If them advertising super long battery life is what allows them to move units then they're doing it right. If you're not satisfied with your product, you feel it may be defective or doesn't work as advertised you're more than welcome to return it, ask for an exchange or request that the unit be serviced.

Disappointing Nokia Drive+ battery charging experi...

We have many threads about the phone dropping charge while on the charger so I decided to order a good quality 2.1 amp charger and use it with the OEM cable.
I drove a route that takes about 18-20 minutes with the charger and I gained about 8% battery charge in the process. This was actually quite good compared to some previous driving chargers.
Then I returned on the same route with Nokia Drive+ turned on. This is the updated version that was just released today. By the time my route was over I lost 4% battery charge while on the charger.
To contrast, I can run waze (3D turn by turn nav app) on my iPhone 4 and gain charge at the same time.

I've had a few more mixed results. However, I'm not sure if is app version related.
Yesterday I updated Nokia Drive+ from a link posted on WPCentral as they reported the update before it hit the store. That is what I ran my first test on. Then the app store notified me about an update again. It reinstalled for a second time. This time my settings had to also be reset.
Anyway, the next time I tested the battery usage I acutally gained some charge for the first half and then I lost the charge again for a net wash on battery charge. What was interesting is the half of the trip where I gained charge was rather slow driving.
The next run I did I lost 1% charge but the phone didn't get super hot either.

Low battery charge life?

I bought an iPhone4 a couple of weeks ago and though obviously busy on it initially I recently noticed, with more 'normal' use, how quickly the battery runs down. As a test I've had wi-fi/networks off for a couple of days and generally it's 'sleeping' a lot but, for example, it"s lost 35% of its charge in 6 hours since fully charged.
What should the 'average' charge life be? Surely more than that?
Oh, and I see no-one has any ideas about my Youtube question in this topics list...?

It all depends on what you do on your iphone during those 6 hours. But it sounds about right. None of the 4 gen iphones I've owned have been able to keep a charge for an entire day without having to recharge it at work or in my car. I do use it for everything- music, games, surf the net, etc... It's a downside to all smart phones and the iphone is not an exception.

Nokia 6555 Battery charging

Hi to all,
I am receiving a Nokia 6555 phone. I have heard they need frequent charging.
I have also heard this was an early battery problem and it has been fixed.
Please comment.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi
I bought a Nokia 6555 last week and my battery has a very poor life too. I use my phone only 10 minutes/day and I have to recharge it every 48 hours. Reading many forums I found many suggestments like disabling Bluetooth (didn't work), Disable UMTS (didn't work) ... Now I found a new solution that may fix the problem. The fact is that the electric contact between battery and cell.phone is very bad. The battery is moving, and sometimes as it moves the contact lose there connection with the battery terminals.
To fix the problem I put a piece paper (rolled 4/5 times in order to have the disired thickness) inside the battery container in order to fit extra space between cell.phone and battery. The piece of paper must be put on the contact opposite side.

Short Battery Charge Life on My Nano!!!

I love my Nano, but I'm dismayed by how short the battery life is. Both the specs and the MacWorld test agree on 14 hours as the duration before it runs out of juice; mine won't go half that long. I've done everything I can to minimize battery use; I only play music on it.
All advice very much welcome. Is this a warranty issue?
Thanks in advance,
Bernie

Firstly, fourteen hours is the time it will run under
perfect conditions, with no button presses, no
backlight use, no track skipping, no EQ and medium
level volume. Real life use will be less.
Secondly, the vast majority of people who say their
battery is running out are going by the meter. Most
of the time, their battery hasn't run out at all,
they just think it's about to.
My ipod will play for five hours after the battery
meter has reached zero. The meter is very
innaccurate, especially when your ipod is new.
Ignore the meter completely. It becomes a bit more
accurate when you let the battery run out (for real)
and you only need to do that once in a blue mood.
Lithium-ion batteries take a while to come up to full
strength when they're new.
Switch off the backlight - it's still easy to read
the screen in most lighting conditions. Or at least
set it to 2 seconds.
But whatever you do, ignore the meter.
I will agree, yes they do take a while to come up to full strength, but this stuff about limited # of charge cycles is crap and stupid, that's basically telling the consumer "hey we designed the batterys in the product your about to buy to have a certain amount of charge cycles, then they are done so we can take your hard earned $60.00 and give you refurbished junk, because we are a company ran by apes!!!!

Charge the phone for 15 minutes with the Apple charger. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

Battery charging for the 1st time

Hi All,
I have bought a new nokia E51 & wanted to know whether is it necessary for the 1st time to charge the battery for 8-10 hours continuously. So, that the battery could get a long life.

Well have a look at this > http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
It says nothing about the first charge but I advise you just charge it untill it is full and unplug the charger
and for the rest of the battery's life Here's what they have to say:
Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.
Batteries with fuel gauge (laptops) should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely.
Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.
Consider removing the battery from a laptop when running on fixed power. (Some laptop manufacturers are concerned about dust and moisture accumulating inside the battery casing.)
Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe manufacturing dates. Do not buy old stock, even if sold at clearance prices.
If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge.
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

Nokia 5300 battery

I am having real problem with the Nokia 5300 battery life. I have never expect this type of problem with Nokia phones. I usually encounter this type of problem with Motorola phones. I've bought this phone for 2 weeks and already have to buy a spare battery because the phone battery keeps running out. I use the bluetooth headset sometimes (on standby) other than that I hardly ever talk on the phone and would not dare using it to listen to music since I am worry about the battery. There is no reason why I should charge my phone that often. Not only does the battery not last, it takes 3 - 4 hours to charge. Changing spare battery has not been a easy task too. The back casing is very difficult to open when you have long nails.
I have been using Nokia phones for the last 10 years, changed 8 different models, and had loved every one of them. This is the first time that I am disappointed.

Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly) :
The newest and most advanced technology for cellular phone batteries. This brand new chemistry of battery allows for the most compact cells available. Li-Poly batteries are extremely light and in most cases very thin allowing for the highest battery life for the size. Lithium Polymer batteries share all of the benefits of Li-Ion plus can last up to twice as long.
Advantages:
-Very low profile - batteries resembling the profile of a credit card are feasible.
-Flexible form factor - manufacturers are not bound by standard cell formats. With high volume, any reasonable size can be produced economically.
-Lightweight - gelled electrolytes enable simplified packaging by eliminating the metal shell.
-Improved safety - more resistant to overcharge; less chance for electrolyte leakage.
-Lithium Polymer had lesser power dissipation.
-Lithium Polymer supports larger capacity even at the same size with Lithium Ion ones.
Limitations:
-Lower energy density and decreased cycle count compared to lithium-ion.
-Expensive to manufacture.
-No standard sizes. Most cells are produced for high volume consumer markets.
-Higher cost-to-energy ratio than lithium-ion

Nokia 6280 mains charger

Hi
i was just wondering if anybody has had issues with thier stock nokia 6280 charger both mine and my mate have had the end (bit inserted into the phone) snapped off.
cheers

I got a duff one sent with the phone. I returned the lot as it was a contract. They in turn returned the phone and charger with two letters enclosed (stock letters I reckon) one stated that the phone was ok and the second letter said that the battery charger was un-serviceable and I would need to buy a new one. Well, I waited for about 3 days and decided to buy one for £5 They did send me a replacement eventually after a further week. I was totally fed up.
Everything seems to be ok now, but the phone's battery has a short charge life and not enough memory IMO.
I have a charger at work and one at homenow.
I wish I would have gone for a Sony erickson walkman something like the W800i

First battery charge and current issues?

Hi!
I just bought a new MacBook (2.0 GHz, 160 GB). I have two quick questions:
1. I plugged in my AC adapter, turned on the notebook for about 5 minutes to make sure it works fine, etc, then shut it down to let the battery charge. Would I have lost any battery capacity by not fully charging the battery first? And do I need to let the battery run through a full cycle when I first use the computer to ensure full capacity?
2. Are there any updates/best practices for the 2008 (December) MacBook batteries? I know there was an issue in 2007, but for the new line am I set to go? And is it still best practice to put shut the Mac down instead of putting it to sleep to save wear and tear on the hard-drive/battery?
sorry for all the questions: it has been 5 years since I bought my last notebook so I am a bit rusty/excited!

Right way for battery charging

Hi everybody! I bought an iPad Air when he was released. Surfing on Internet, I've heard conflicting opinions about the right way to charge the iPad (or the iPhone) to increase its battery life. What I want to ask is this: iit is true that once a month you have to bring the battery to 0% and then charging it?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

How to Disable battery charging Function?

Hi;
I have a question about charging funtion of my "HP Compaq Business Notebook, 6720s":
How can I disable "battery charging" function in windows 7? Is there any "advanced setting change" or "software" that while battery is in its slot, stop my notebook from charging its battery?
Thanks

After some days trying many methods, yet I haven't find a solution to my problem. Then I ask is there any one
knows which software should I download for HP Compaq Power Management (similar to the software that Huffer
mentioned, but that was for Lenovo) or which registery or BIOS change should I do , so that I can manually disable
charging function of laptop, or at least put a starting level that up to that level, laptop won't start
autolatically to charge battery, because in this manner once that my Battery reaches to below 100%, instantly begin
to be charged & it would decrease its life time. Please consider that because of my power cable is to some damaged, sometimes it suddenly disrubt & cause my laptop abruptly shut down, then necessarily the battery would always be connected tob prevent this suddent effect.
If any one could help me, I would appreciate him a lot.
Regards
