E71 Battery Life (Compare with E61, E61i)

Most of the E71 newbies claim that the battery life is awesome. But for me, the E61i, and E61 user, I discovered that the battery life in E71 seems not as good as the one in E61.
Typically, under my usage (Daily 5-10mins short calls x 10, every 15mins pull mail from pop, ~50mails daily, lowest brightness, no wifi, no bluetooth, no 3G, no mp3, no DC),
the E61 last for 3 days or more, but E71 is hardly to last for 3 days.
Checked with Nokia Profiler, the consumption during a conversation is throttling between 0.6 to 0.8, avg 0.75W
sometime near 1W max. For 3G conversation, the power consumpted is almost doubled.
It implies the phone is consumping 250mA ideally.
1500 / 250 = 6 hours
1500 / 500 = 3 hours
Far away from the official value from Nokia.
Anyone share your experience ?

You can't be serious...
My daily average:
5-10 minute calls, 2-3 of those
10-15 sms sent
10 minutes of 3g browsing
Push email (nokia email service) on for 10 hours, receive and send 3-5 mails in total.
Brightness set just one bump over minimum. Breathing light is on (cant imagine this consumes any noteworthy amount of battery, do you?)
Battery lasts for 3 days

E71 Battery Life gone

My E71 battery life has gone off a cliff. One day it was lasting 2-3 days with constant use. Next it's lasting less than one day. It's 6 month old. Anyone got any idea why ?
I haven't changed my use, nothing is running in the background except bluetooth for my headset. I have not updated the software. Even tried running battery flat a couple of times and recharding.
Any help or ideas apperciated as it's very frustrating. Main reason I bough E71 was battery life after the appaling battery life for E66.

How many cycles do you think the battery has performed?
Around 200-300 Cycles is probably good.
They don't last forever, contrary to what some people believe.
If you have switched off stuff like WLAN Bluetooth and 3G and the battery is not lasting very long then I would consider getting a new battery.
They are pretty reasonable, around GBP £20, €30 approx depending where you are.
Rapid decline in battery charge hold is indicative of a failing battery.
Additionally if the handset is getting hot, then you should get it looked at, at a Nokia care point without delay.
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software
If this post helped... Add some kudos!!

I have a problem in battery life time with iphone5s

Do you have background app refresh enabled under settings then general. Also check under Settings->General->Accessibility->check if reduce motion is turned on. Also if you are using Dynamic wallpapers the movement in the background will eat your battery life quite a bit.

After updated firmware of E71 /Battery life is poo...

After I updated the firmware of my E71 to 200.21.118 version, my phone lack of battery life, I think the problem is mail for exchange version 2.09.158 that have conflicts with the new firmware. After the updated, my phone is always hot and my battery is no longer than 12 hours of use (before at my use 36 hours), I turn the mfe to manual and fix the problem.
Can any body helpme with my problem?.
Regards,

have you performed the three-finger hard reset after upgrading to the latest firmware version? this is often the source of problms, as giving the phone a clean slate to work with will most likely solve these battery issues. remember to backup all your data first to memory card and to computer using Nokia PC Suite as a .nbu file. after hard reset, restore everything back to your phone using the .nbu file. to perform a hard reset, turn the phone off then press the green call key, the 3 key and the * key all at the same time, then press and hold the power button.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

E71 Battery life

hi,
how long are other E71 users getting on a full charge. With bluetooth, wifi off i am getting 6 hours max.
Thanks
Richard Kingsley

Richard may be correct about this. Check the heartbeat setting in the 'Schedule' tab of MfE. Ideally you should be at about 8-10 minutes. 1 is worst case.
If you are at 1 minute heartbeat, it is not the fault of MfE. It is important to pick an access point that allows long connections to the server without any activity. What could be happening is that your provider is disconnecting MfE because it doesn't appear to be doing anything. Then MfE wants to reconnect to maintain Always on. This uses lots of battery.
You may need to change your AP or pay more for better plan that allows these type of connections.
Otherwise, change to hourly or Manual sync.
I get 30 minute heartbeat with AT&T in the US. If I don't make any phone calls and keep an 8-5 Always on schedule, I can get 4 day battery life.

Having downloaded ios7.1 to my ipad my battery is draing faster than I can use it. Tried all the tips suggested to save battery life but with no success.....help!

Has anyone else found this too

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

IPhone 4S sudden battery life problem with iOS7

I've been hearing the rumors of iOS7 battery life problems but not experiencing them ... until today.
The battery seems to lose about 20% every hour without my really using the phone at all. No calls. No Safari. No Calendar. No email.
I stopped all applications. Still drained.
Recharged.
I turned on airplane mode. Still drained.
Recharged.
I turned off application background updates. Still drained.
I am recharging now. And I have turned off location services.
Not sure what changed. In the last day I did upgrade my computer to a brand new Mac Book Pro. Could syncing with my new computer have changed something on the phone that would have initiated this.
I installed iOS7 on the release day and haven't had this problem until today.
Any other tips?
-Steve

Curiously enough, the problem is gone today.
Didn't change anything that I know of.
Turned background updating on.
Turned location services on.
Battery life seems to be holding in a "normal" way.
Baffled.

I have no itunes app or safari browser also very poor battery life compared to my ipod touch 4. my phone is a virgin mobile usa iphone 4 i purchased 2 days ago ...stumped. i have not activated service on the phone because of this.or is that the problem?

a

The itunes app and safari app cannot be deleted. The came with the phone and are native to it. The must be on antoher screen or in a folder on one of the screens. Swipe across the screen from right to left to reveal other screen and look for them. IF you can't find them go to settings>general>reset then reset home screen layout. If you want to move apps touch your finger on the icon and hold it there until the icons wiggle and then drag the icons to where you want them then let go. Tap home screen once to make them stop wiggling

Battery Life on 4S with iOS 5.0.1

Just bought a new 4S (White) and with only 3 calls made all day of 10mins each and no particularly extraordinary use, my battery went from 100% at 9AM to 25% at 6PM.
Anyone else seen rapid battery decline?

I have since day one, i thought the ios 5.0.1 would fix this issue but it hasn't.
this morning I had my phone charged to 100% and i looked at the usage in the settings and it has 6 hours of usage, 13 hours of standy and it is at 6% at this moment.
Overall i am very dissapointed since this phone is supposed to have a longer battery life compared to the previous iphones..

Low battery life, heat or noise with Macbook pro? SOLUTION HERE

Low Battery?
Warm unit on Idle?
Loud fan?
Likely solution is here..
I have a new 15" and had these issues, found the only working solution in the thread below, safe and easy to use. If you are worried do a
time machine backup before doing this.
Go here
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191543?start=0&tstart=0
Read post #2, put the command into your Terminal (Found inside launchpad)
- That command is the following "sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.citrix.agadminservice.plist"
type password when asked ( you wont see any characters but it will be accepted when pressing enter)
Restart, battery, heat and noise issue is completely solved, lion is fixed.
You now have a very high quality product, that functions like it should. Macbook Pro still owns.
Hope this helps everyone out.

Same problem with shortened battery life here with 10.6.2 (2009 unibody 15" MBP 2.53 GHz.) Shutting down and removing the battery seems to have brought fully charged battery life back from less than 2 hours to over 5 again. Didn't bother holding down the power button with the battery out though.
A few notes:
1. Prior to the shut down + battery removal, I had noticed unusual warmth despite the CPU being only lightly loaded. Activity monitor showed no app using more than 4% of the CPU, with just a few apps running (Safari, Mail, iCal, Finder).
2. Months ago, just a PRAM reset seemed to fix the problem, possibly with 10.6.1 or 10.6. Can't remember for sure. But PRAM reset doesn't help any more with 10.6.2.
3. I have never reset the SMC.
4. I don't recall this problem happening with any of the 10.5 releases. Just with 10.6.x.
5. The bottom of the MBP's enclosure is cool again after the shutdown + battery removal.
6. I am also running 10.6.2 on a 2008 aluminum iMac (20" 2.4 GHz) and haven't noticed any unusual temperatures, but it's much harder to tell. And of course, there's no battery life to measure.
I'll see if the problem returns again, but it really seems like a Mac OS X problem instead of a firmware or runaway app problem. Maybe some daemon is stuck in a busywait loop or something?

Treo 680 Camera update released by Palm helps greatly with battery life

If you have not installed this update yet, it is HIGHLY recommended that you do so. It is located:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/treo/680cameraupdate.html
And is for *ALL* Treo 680 users.
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Folks from Palm do monitor THESE forums especially, and there is a way that us moderators can bring things to their attention here now (unlike the older forums).
The problem here, as I see it (and yes, I have both my 700p and a 680) is that in order to make a thin, GSM phone to sell for $199, they used a smaller battery:
1800mAh(top) vs 1200mAh(bottom) battery, which translates into less battery life (33% with the basic same underlying functionality). And for folks that use the heck out of them (points to self) this will not be enough. So... I charge more often, and have a spare that I keep in the cradle, charged. And I do the meat of my email on the 700p (which also gets charged daily and on heavy email days twice a day; or plugged into the USB port, see tips below).
Palm has given tips on extending this as much as possible (turn off BT, minimal timeout, etc, etc) but basically its a tiny battery. Add to this fact that GSM radios tend to draw more power and UGH... bad battery life. Folks that use the heck out of a phone will not be happy (nor would they be happy if they were doing the same things on say, the new sexy tiny BLahzor or whatever its called, and yes.... That battery is even smaller).
I'd also like to note that Cingular (or any carrier) won't sell a product that didn't meet their minimum requirements, ie talk time, standby, etc.
There is a third party company making a larger battery, and I'd expect as battery technology gets better we'll see replacements that work even better. However I doubt you'll see a tiny battery on a used a lot device ever have "good" battery life.
One final set tips: get a HS cable when you're near your computer and plug in the phone... even a quick 30 min trickle charge will keep you going longer. Get a car charger, or an extra battery and cradle. If you are using Email, set the auto sync frequency longer than 5 mins: 15 mins vs 5 means that your radio is on up to 66% less with respect to data traffic.
To close, I'm sure if Palm discovers anything they can do to extend the battery life on the 680's, they will pass that along....

Has anyone actually experienced anything close to the Up To Battery life stated on the Tech Specs???

The battery is supposed to be so good that it would:
Standby time: Up to 225 hours
Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
I have 4 chargers scattered around my life spaces. I went out for 3 hours today, made no phone calls and did not eMails, and still lost 60% of the battery life.
This phone is a work of art but simply not practical!
Anyone found solutions?

Being my first, can only compare with my old Nokias, last one being an N97 with features I still miss. However, after hours of studying the thing, reading all the manuals, including David Pogue's and studying it some more, I have managed to stretch it to 4 days without touching the charger, provided I turn it into a dumbphone for standby (all off except 2G voice) and selectively enable what I need while I use it. And NO Facebook. Subjectively, I felt a very modest improvement with the 6.1 upgrade, contrary to many irate forum posters.
Must confess being the main cause to limited battery life. With all the goodies and gadgets it has, it is simply too much of a temptation to resist dragging out instead of the Mac.

Any iPhone 4S users experienced better battery life after upgrading to iOS 7.1?

Hello
I am curious to know if any iPhone 4S users experienced better battery life compared to iOS 7.x.x.? That will be great to know before I upgrade and give up my JB .
Thanks!

Apparently when the issue affects you personally it's impossible to accept that millions and millions of users are not experiencing the same problems or accept that the issue is with your device specifically.
Really, that's quite an assertion. I'm sure you can prove those stats; but my apologies, I forgot that Apple produces flawless product.
I can only report MY SYMPTOMS: iPhone 4S 32M on VZW, upgrade to iOS 7.0 at the end of February (when security flaw was announced), after which my battery life is about 1/2 what it used to be before the upgrade.
Also, as reported above, when I upgraded to iOS 7.0 my phone would lock (in phone mode); had uncommanded reboots; and severely degraded battery life. Two days ago, upgraded to iOS 7.1. Most screen "touch" issues appear resolved; and uncommanded reboots resolved.
Battery life / duration still poor; still charging every 4-5 hours.
Previously with normal use (with no location services) could run a full day, about 8 hours before recharge. Now, same situations, I'm having to recharge after 4-5 hours. Again, no new apps, all apps are current; no different usage.
What's the resolving fix?

Is it just me? Or old MacBooks had better battery life?

Is it just me, or is the battery life on the new uMacBooks drains faster than the old models (Black)?
I just picked up a new MacBook to replace my old black MacBook and I literally notice the battery life percentage go down one point about every two minutes. My black MacBook performed WAY better than this. I can't believe a new model would be worse than an old one. Did I happen to get a faulty one? Has anyone noticed the same? Please advise.

There's nothing wrong with your new MacBook. I can definitely say that my alumMacBook gives me about an hour less of battery life compared to my White MacBook. I agree, it stink.

Core i7 15" MBP battery life far below advertised

I'm curious what kind of battery life other 15" i7 MBP users are seeing.
Mine is just two weeks old, I calibrated the battery on the first day. Reproducing Apple's supposed "Wireless productivity" scenario, (50% brightness, optimal Energy Saver settings, surfing basic web sites with Chrome and lightweight apps), I get around 5 hours of life. The system used the onboard Intel graphics chip almost exclusively during that time.
Coconut Battery reports that max capacity for my battery is 6900 mAh, with current capacity at 98% of maximum after 10 load cycles.
5 hours is less than 60% of the "8-9 hours" so loudly advertised. So, I guess Apple earns a D- on battery life compared to what they are marketing. I'm pretty disappointed and this seems like a bait-and-switch deal.
Other Core i7 15" owners: what is your "original battery capacity" (find out with Coconut Battery), and, how much life are you getting?

Raduga,
a couple of thoughts.
Battery life really does vary very greatly depending on usage and the type of web browsing you are doing in particular can have a major impact. If, for example, you are visiting any websites which make use of "Flash" (even if they are just sites using Flash for integrated advertisements or You Tube videos etc) then the battery life will be reduced substantially. Keeping more than one or two tabs or windows open can make a big difference, too.
You can very substantially improve the situation with respect to Flash by using ClickToFlash and, if you use YouTube, by signing up for their h.264 beta program - see http://www.youtube.com/html5 and http://www.macworld.com/article/145828/2010/01/youtube_html5.html
You don't mention whether you have turned off Bluetooth. Leaving Bluetooth running when its not needed can impose a 15% to 20% penalty on battery run times in my experience.
Another thing that can have a major effect is a "back ground process" hogging cpu cycles. You can check for this using Activity Monitor (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1473 for basic instructions) . Some common causes here involve hung up print jobs, virus checkers, out of date scanner "button scanners", etc. Corrupted "spotlight" databases can also cause Apples own "mdimport" processes to become very processor intensive, chewing up CPU cycles with a major effect on battery life. Similarly, corrupt or duplicated fonts can result in Apple's "fontworker" process running overtime.
Cheers
Rod
