6233 Battery Life - Does dual mode drain battery ?

It is rumoured that leaving the phone on Dual Mode (GPS and 3G) drains the battery quite a lot quicker than leaving it on GPS only. Has anyone experienced this ?

I also use GSM only mode and only switch to 3G when I am in need of data services or sending MMS.
Call quaity also seems better on GSM than WCDMA (3G) for me.

Does "Lost Mode" drain the battery?

Yesterday, Friday evening, I forgot my phone at a bank, just a couple of minutes before they closed. When I track it, I can see that it's still there, so I know the phone is safe. I want to put it in "Lost Mode" so that I can put my husband's phone number on the screen. Hopefully they'll be open tomorrow, but if they're not, will the battery be drained by Monday morning?
I know I can go back in on Monday and retrieve it, but I it would be nice to know, does "Lost Mode" accelerate the battery drain?
Thanks,
Erica

Hi Erica.
I don't believe so. The message isn't displayed on screen permanently, someone needs to tap the homescreen button to see it. I guess there is a small amount of usage when the message is sent to the device and then again when the device sends the message it's been found but I don't think it will make much difference.

E61i - Connection error in "Dual mode"

Yesterday, after 2 months of normal usage, my E61i, settled on “dual mode”, stopped to work.
On the screen it appears instead of “3G” the symbol of an antenna (GSM connection) without the name of the operator.
If I try to make a call it doesn’t work and it gives “connection error”. When someone calls me, it gives the message "phone is switched off".
If I set the phone on “GSM mode”, it works but of course in GSM and not in UMTS (3G), and I need to use 3G in order to speed up the internet connection.
My Italian operator is Wind and if I transfer this sim in another phone (Nokia 6151 that is a more simple UMTS phone) the problem is exactly the same.
I tried to use a different sim Wind, and also in this case I have the same problem on both the phones.
With a sim of Vodafone all is ok.
Probably it is mainly a network problem, but I cant understand why the phone doesn’t switch automatically on GSM if UMTS signal is not present. The phone is not a “provider locked phone”, it is an original “Nokia” and it has been updated to firmware version 2.0633.65.01. The 3G signal was very good.
I’ve found a lot of posts concerning this problem, but the only suggestion is to change the network mode from "Dual Mode" to "GSM", and then back to "Dual Mode".
Unfortunately the above solution doesn’t work and consequently I’m starting a new topic hoping to receive some new suggestion in order to solve this problem.
Thank you and best regards

Your battery is dead. Swap it for a new one. Also, use a sharp toothpick to clean the charger hole. Don't use metal needles and do it while the battery is out.

NOKIA C7 dual mode...

I have been using my Nokia C7 for a few months now only on GSM and generally I get 2 days from the battery, just lastly the GSM internet has been extremely slow so I’m thinking of switching to dual mode or 3g, my question is I know it uses more battery but how much more? Will I lose a days battery or a little like an hour etc? Thanks for your help

I personally prefer using dualmode, as it would switch back and forth when 3G signal is low. If 3G signal is low, it would be using 2G to conserve battery, as a weaker signal would make the phone use more battery. However using 3G would also use more battery than 2G alone.

N73 v4.0726.2.0.1 Only has "Dual Mode"?

I have upgraded my N73 to v4.0.726.2.0.1 yesterday. It works well except this trouble: can only choose Dual Mode in Network Mode Settings. My old version has three modes: Dual Mode, UMTS and GSM. I heard that Dual Mode takes more battery that single UMTS or GSM mode. Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.

I am in Hong Kong... Actually I am using 3G provided by 3. The Nokia Careline here told me it's because the differences between firmwares. So the only way is to use another firmware...
Now I have upgraded the firmware to v4.0735.3.0.2 by editing the phone code. The problem is solved.
Thank you all the same. And hope my experience may help others.
Opp, we are not allow to talk about this. Also your phone is rendered warranty vold already, if there is some left on.

Programming and using in dual mode

how do i programme n70-1 for both GSM and CDMA frequencies.Does it requier a seperate SIM? The operating channels are chl1-42,chl2-83,SID-14495 and NID-- 65535

The N70 is a dual mode GSM/WCDMA, not CDMA as in most U.S. state. You just go to Tools->settings->Network->select dual mode
WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multi Access) is 3G far different from CDMA which is a different Mobile phone network technology.

Dual mode in N80-1

I'm currently using N80-1. Just got it weeks ago. Lately my area is catered with UMTS network coverage already. However it doesnt able to automatically switch to UMTS network at my home. I'm using Dual Mode in the network settings. As i drive my car to further area, the UMTS is automatically being switched and noticed the 3G icon displayed. Does anybody knows how the Nokia phone select its network in Dual Mode? Which one will be prioritize ? UMTS or GSM.
If i force the Dual Mode to just UMTS mode, i still able to get UMTS signal inside my house around 3/4 signalling bars. Upstair Full signal bars.
I hope the Dual Mode will function both as UMTS and GSM.
Anybody can help?

That depends on your network.
Basically, Nokia develop firmware and send it to the networks who are then supposed to customise it - add branding, turn off certain features etc - and send it back to Nokia who then make it available via NSU.
Not all networks are very good at doing their bit, though. For example, I'm on Vodafone in the UK and the latest version available to me is 4.0623 which is very old: the last per-IE version.
On the upside, it's relatively stable. Judging by the posts on here, 4.0707 has lots of problems. I don't recall defaulting to GSM instead of 3G being one of them, but I guess that's possible.

Does SDM mode change to standalone turn dispatcher status to yellow

Hi,
System: Dual stack NW04
Does SDM mode change to standalone turn dispatcher status to yellow?
Thanks

Should not be the case.. Because only when you start deploying, or applying patches, SDM wakes up and work. But never checked my self doing like that.

New AEBS (dual mode) extending with AEBS - N Issues

I just bought the new AEBS dual mode router. When I try to extend the network with a AEBS-N the attached computer always seem to to have DNS issues and cannot connect to websites. The problem appears to be very intermittent with network drops a few times and hour. As soon as I disconnect the router extending the dual band everything seems to be fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanks-

I think I found the problem. I've solved it, and now it's working really rock solid.
And yes, the latest version of the 802.11n base stations (the dual band II) has indeed an enhanced radio subsystem.
I was advertising a 802.11n network on 2.4 GHz as well, and I think that the remote base station, which doesn't have a choice to select 2.2 or 5 GHz, and relies on finding the main base station, was somewhat confused.
After setting it to 802.11n (5 GHz) and 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz) it's working like a charm.
I seemed to have some local interference, not sure about it, and I've changed to the highest channel on 5 GHz (48). As I said, working like a charm now. Rock solid and a clear improvement over the radio in the previous versions.

I just installed Firefox on a new HP 600-1120 with Windows 7 and it is only running in "safe" mode. Why? How do I get it to run in "regular" mode? How does "safe" mode differ?

Use the Toshiba recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
If you dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk try the HDD recovery:

This works only if the recovery image files from Toshiba are still on the HDD:
If you installed the system using another disk as Toshiba recovery disk, this recovery option will not work.

RodWard: I have the same problem as x1cwm562
My videos work when previewed in CP and when previewed in web browser, but not when published in the LMS. I have just updated from CP 5.5 to CP 7 AND switched to a new LMS ;-) Naturally problems occur...
My old LMS took scorm 1.2 and the new one scorm 2004. Therefore I have merely opened my CP 5.5. project in CP 7- re-publised it to scorm 2004 and published it to our new LMS. Everything works but not any of the videos. Instead of the video playing the text "Connection error" appears. I have tried both IE and Chrome. The videos were added by Video- Insert video and are matched to the slides length. The videos are in f4v format and worked fine when published in CP 5.5. and the old LMS.
1. Is there anything I need to do when re-publishing a CP 5.5. file in CP 7?
2. I've seen many questions about similair issues at the forum concerning going from CP 5.5. to 6. In those cases peolpe recommended to inistall a patch from Adobe, and that seem to have solved peoples issues- would the same work for me?
3. Might there be some adjustment needed in the new LMS?
Hope you can give me som input!

Does private mode still save cached files?

I'd like to know more into how private mode works. Where does the cache/cookies files go after closing firefox in private mode? Are they even saved at all? Lets say i streamed some videos over the net, that has some cache right; does private mode save the info until i close firefox, or it doesnt save it at all? Im sort of a minimalist, i like keeping my system clean and fast. I would prefer not having the files saved at all even when its in private mode...
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== i open up private mode

How do I know if Satellite A100-216 has a dual mode pad?

Hi,
I bought my laptop this week, and in the manual it says that some models in this series have got dual mode pads rather than just a mouse pad. How do I know if my model has it?
Do I have to activate something, or would it just work automatically if it was on my laptop?

If your touchpad doesn't look like this:

you don't have dual mode pad.

Punch in problem-Why does cycle mode activate and snap to somewhere else when I set up a punch?

Punch in problem-Why does cycle mode activate and snap to somewhere else when I set up a punch?

Because whoever programmed it must be ********, I've dealt with this issue long enough. I've sent Apple feedback on this issue long ago and nothing has been done yet. The only work around is to try and remember that every time you double click in the punch line to hit the c button to turn it off before you start recording or you have to drag your punch line around all the time, what a pain in the ***.

Cisco Dual Mode Android

Hello,
I can't seem to create a dualmode phone for android on Cisco Call Manager 10
It says when i enter the name it has invalid characters or is not formatted correctly for this device type.
I wonder what the correct format type is then, i've tried: TCT_PATRICK, since i remember that was the name type for the iphone application
Kind Regards,
Yannick Vranckx

Hi Yannick,

The Device Name:
Can represent only one device. If a single user has Cisco Jabber for Android on multiple devices, configure separate Cisco Dual Mode for Android devices for each in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Must start with BOT.
Must be uppercase.
Can contain up to 15 characters total.
Can include only the following characters: A to Z, 0 to 9, dot (.), dash (-), or underscore (_).
Cisco recommends that the device name include the username of the user so it is easy to remember (for example, the recommended device name of user jsmith is BOTJSMITH).
