Massive power drain after Belle Refresh update on ...

Hello
From being a minor annoyance the massive power drain from my N8 after Belle Refresh update is now a big problem!
The battery does not even last a full day now
No apps running - power save on, but to no avail.
After advice from Nokia Support I've tried to reinstall Belle Refresh again from Nokia Suite, but it didn't make a difference.
What else can be done? Is it possible to uninstall Belle Refresh completely?
Some have suggested it is because of the weather widget. Any confirmation from Nokia on that issue?

I have Belle refresh for over a month now and I keep running the weather widget permanently on first screen. Overall the power consumption is the same as before on Anna (I skipped the first Belle incarnation).
The only particular thing here is that I flashed clean the full 111.40.1511 version for my phone language. All I can tell is that in the first days after flashing the power drain was significant, merely because of intense phone usage, part of various customizations or just by curiosity. Since then the power consumption has slowly came back to "normal" for my daily usage habits.
Currently running widgets: clock, profile, weather, next coming event, BBC feed, WiFi, 3G, data usage counter, Nokia Battery Monitor, locations near me. Also Nokia Sleeping Screen is active. I gave up in using email widgets because I only use IMAP manual fetch mode and in this mode they are completely useless.

Any more update for Nokia N8 after belle refresh??...

Hello guys...great work on your part for providing new updates for nokia n8.... Its really great on your part...now my phone is fantastic...
Just wanted to know if Nokia is planning to release new updates for the N8, after Belle Refresh??
If new updates are coming in the near future,please do let us know sir.
From- Nokia N8 lover.

@GEN82012, this is probably the wrong thread for enquiring on updates but...
No you can't download directly from Nokia if the update hasn't been released for your product code.
Updates are by Product Code, type *#0000# on the Call screen. For example mine is 059C7R0.
These codes are country and operator specific.
Be aware there is a difference between a "Vanilla" handset brought directly from Nokia and an "Unlocked" one.
If a carrier "Unlocks" the handset it means you can use it on other networks but the Product Code will remain the original one and can't be changed.
If the phone has been repaired at some stage it may have a non standard board in it as well and I think those can only be updated at Nokia Care.
If you take the phone to Nokia Care with proof that it is legally unlocked they may be willing to load the local "Vanilla" variant for you.
Note; mine has recently updated to 111.040.1511.
N95 (RM159) V31.0.017, N8 (RM596) Belle 111.040.1511

It's known that Nokia Belle FP1 is available only for Nokia 603, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701 (and newer phones as well). Those devices that won't get the FP1 update are named '1st gen. S^3 devices' for all I know. That's what makes me say that Nokia 500 is a first generation S^3 device - because no massive updates will be available for it anymore.

Unfortunately no-one can tell you when the update will be released for your country variant North American US N8. All you can do is wait for it to be approved in your country.

of http://www.nokia.com/bg-bg/support/product/n8-00/ says that the update may not be available from all mobile operators
Why mobilnit operators?
this is a software NOKIA
why they should be released please update Updates for other ANNA and BELLE I did the update without any problem

Well here is my N8/ Belle story, or should I say nightmare. I checked my phone for updates, and installed an important update, which ended up being Belle. Nothing has been the same since. What doesn't work on my phone since the install...
- I can not make phone calls without turning the phone off and then on again. Even if I do that, there are no guarantees I can put a call through. Everything about dialing a phone number looks like it is working, but all I get is silence. If I call my phone from another phone, I hear the ringing on the phone I am using, but my N8 doesn't ring, or act like a call is coming in.
-I can't text message anymore, send or receive. I can create a message, press send, but it just sits in the outbox. Occasionally an " Unable to send" window pops up.
-I charge up the phone, and the battery is dead within hours. A charge will not last through the night. Here's the kicker....I just had a brand new battery installed.
I am sure there are other issues that I have yet to discover, because,well, I am trying to solve the important things like making a darn phone call!!
I have been around to nokia offical forums in other countries, and I have seen other Nokia phone owners experiencing the exact same problems as I am. I purchased the phone in Canada from Rogers. Last year, I came to the States for five months, unlocked the phone and used T-Mobile. I returned to the States again this wiinter (I am still in the USA), and am back on T-Mobile. Everything was fine until Feb. 28th, 2013, the day I did the install of Belle.
If there is anyone out there who can troubleshoot the issues, or offer some insight as to how to fix my phone, I will be very grateful.

Belle Refresh Update for E6

I just saw the update available on my E6. Downloaded and said yes to install it. The phone shuts down to restart, but doesnt restart. A white screen is flickering and keeps flickering...nothing happens...i closed the phone using the power button and switched it on again to find the phone in the previous state..so no update or formatting happened. Any suggestions?

Updated directly from Anna to Belle refresh. E6 code 059F862. No problems at all!
Heres my tips: install Nokia suite (nothing else). Attach your phone via USB and the software should tell you that an update is available. When proceeding with the update be careful and READ what it says on the Nokia suite update window. It says that you should not type aaanything else than your pin code when it restarts (perhaps a few times). After you have typed your pin code you will see some prompts for additional stuff on the phone screen, but leave it be! After this the update will continue for several minutes and it may feel like something has hanged, but most likely it has not. I did not get a clear "everything is ready sir" when the update was ready, but from the phone screen and from the computer i drew the conclusions that, yes. After this you can install the other suggested software (perhaps 4-5 different).
I have updated other Belle phones aswell and I think that the message of typing only the pin code is critical.

Massive Battery Drain After Mavericks Upgrade on 11" 2013 MacBook Air?

I got my Air about month before Mavericks came out and the battery life was amazing on it. I was easily getting 14-10 hours of life using Chrome and Air Mail App, along with Power Point and MS Word. After the upgrade to Mavericks, it was slow but I started to notice that my battery life during classes was draining so much faster than before and I had not added anything 3rd party software, just the upgrade. I am now down to about 3.5 - 4.5 hours of battery life doing about the same things as before the upgrade. I did a couple of apps and I added (Sims 3 game). However, I have yet to touch it because of the diminished battery life.
I have included a copy of my Etrecheck, can somone take a look and let me know if you think I need to clean something off?
I did do the SMC reset and that seemed to to give a little juice (like putting new tire on your car but still not where it was before the Mavericks upgrade) as I am up to about 6 hours of battery life after the SMC reset.
Please let me know what other information you might need from me that would help and thank you so much!!

Hi Lex,
Not sure why but I had a hard time finding all of the related files to get rid of Origin. But I think I finally got them. I just uninstalled Flash and Chrome. I don't like Safari but all well. I suppose I can deal with it it until Apple fixes this battery issue and then maybe I can go back to Chrome. Safari isn't too happy with certain websites, under the Preferences/Security there is an error message that reads "Google Safe Browsing Service Is Not Available. Has not been updated in 8 days."
Haven't noticed a change in battery since doing all of this so let me know if it will take a couple of days to reset. Or if you see anything else that I can do to help. Thank!

Battery drain after 2.2 update (Exchange Active Sync users or those who use a calendar on the phone)

A lot of folks are having "issues" with battery life after the over the air (OTA) update and there has been much speculation as to the cause. My frustrattion level increased with each new post I read that did not reveal a resolution. The back and forth banter about FTC complaints (that was an interesting escape from the battery problem but not very helpful), new apps running from startup (I don't like 'em either), Linux really working better with all these programs running (don't really care as long as the battery level isn't drained after an hour of just sitting on the counter) just made matters worse.
I would like to share with you my experience and hope that it helps some of you who have taken the time to read my post. First, let me say that the cause is not due the the "bloatware" applications that were installed during the OTA update.
Secondly, the primary purpose of my handheld is for voice calls but running close behind is my need for immediate email, contacts and calendar information (which is configured through Exchange Active Sync). If you are not using your phone with Active Sync or updating a remote calendar like Google), you can stop reading this post.
I noticed that the yin/yang (sync) icon at the top of my screen kept popping up more than usual after the update. Looking through the items I have set to sync (Menu -> Settings -> Accounts & Sync), I reviewed all the things I have set and disabled the sync settings for the things I did not want. After disabling the "Backup Assistant", "Google", "News", "Stocks" and "Weather", I thought for sure the issue would be resolved. Not yet. When those adjustments didn't change the frequency of the sync, I decided to look at the Exchange Active Sync and to my surprise, the culprit was revealed - the calendar was stuck in a sync loop (syncing over and over). I disabled the "Sync Calendar" feature and the phone stopped it's maddening attempt to refresh the calendar.
I let the phone cool off and thought that I could get by with manually toggling the option to sync the calendar but I couldn't accept that was the only way this thing would work. I removed the Exchange Active Sync account and created a new one. After the new account was verified, it attempted to sync mail, contacts and calendar but this time, there was a error that occured during the calendar sync. Instead of repeatedly attempting to re-sync, an error message that stated "Client/Server conversion error". At this point, the calendar sync loop was no longer a problem (wasnt' draining the battery) but now my calendar wouldn't sync at all.
To fix it, I cleared the data in the Calendar applications (Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All [tab at the top]). Scroll down the list and open each of the Calendar items and click the "Clear Data" button.
(Credit goes to "Brenny" at AndroidForums.com for the post that explains how to clear the Calendar Data)
It seems that adjustments made to events before the update were kept in the phones local storage. After the update, the calendar data in the phone's cache was not matching my remote calendar and appears to have been the cause for my battery drain. After performing these steps, everything is back to normal. Good luck!

Super frustrating, I know. Do you use Exchange Active Sync?
If so, you might be having the same issue that I've explained. Since making the adjustments (clearing the data from the Active Sync components like mail, contacts and calendar), my battery life is back to normal.
Try clearing the data (see first post in this thread) and let me know what happens.

Nokia Belle Refresh update

Does anyone out there know when will Belle Refresh for N8 be released???? So many rumours, don't know what to believe anymore.
Kind regards
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. It's not wise to put more pressure on devs than what they already have from Nokia.
2. I'm waiting anxiously for this, since Belle Refresh should contain the most important update ever, and that isn't the browser, the Maps or the bugfixes. This update is Qt 4.8.
As a KDE user (KDE is a full desktop replacement built entirely on Qt), the speed difference between Qt 4.7.4 and Qt 4.8 is MASSIVE. Specially when optimizing for Qt 4.8. Believe me, you really feel the difference. Just like a Nokia Belle phone, KDE depends on Qt for everything, and that includes screen redrawing, effects, acceleration and the like. Don't be surprised if in your N8 you get at the same time more battery life and more performance.
3. I have a Nokia 500, so I must wait even more than you all. But Qt 4.8 works wonders when it's time to punish the OpenVG GPU of my cell phone. I'm waiting for exactly the same improvements, since I know they are delivered even in Software rendering.

Nokia Belle Refresh update just launched

*NOTE: Please read this post before making a reply. At this time there is no information on when which product codes are made available so please do not post such requests and keep this thread clean and easy to follow. We will make sure to let you know of any additional information as it becomes available.
Hi all,
great news! We just started to roll out our next update for Symbian called Nokia Belle Refresh for Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia X7 and Nokia Oro with version number 111.040.1511 (Nokia E6, version number 111.140.0058, will follow still this week, Nokia 500 updates will follow shortly).
This update again brings new features to Symbian smartphones, for example:
- a new browser with HTML5 web apps support, a new set of homescreen widgets, and the previously released Microsoft Office Mobile App and Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 in one package.
- Nokia N8 will have some extra apps for imaging
The update will be rolled out in phases, starting with the vanilla versions (ie. basic software variants without any specific operator or country configuration). Country and operator variants will follow within the next weeks, depending on local and operator approvals.
pS: Just like after updating from Nokia Anna to Nokia Belle, some apps may not work due to compatibility issues. If you need more information on available apps, please contact your local Nokia Care support. Furthermore, you can also contact the respective App developer to enquire about the compatibility.
Best regards,
Yvonne from Nokia Care

Someone please tell me what's happening.
I have launched Nokia Suite and a screen about the new Nokia Belle update was available, so I connected my C6-01 via USB cable and started the update process.
After some minutes the device restarted and Nokia Suite informed me about the successful update to v111.40.1511 .
Then I checked in "Device Management" in my C6-01 and discovered with extreme horror that the version in my phone is still the v111.030.0609 .
Now I have to reinstall 46 applications, deleted by the update process. I'm very disappointed for this and wondering why Nokia Suite did informed me about a wrong update.
Sorry for my poor english.

Severe battery drain after last verizon update

After the last update for my phone I have been experiencing around 10% battery drain an hour with moderate to low usage. I have already done 2 factory resets and formatting my SD card. I have disabled GPS, WIFI, Global access, Google now and everything else that i can find that could cause a drain. I have even gone and disabled/uninstalled all apps that I don't use. That didn't fix anything. I started to suspect that my battery was bad. Ordered a new from Samsung and charged it all night on there spare battery charger before using it. It actually seems to be draining even faster, after 45 minutes I was already at 88%. During that period I sent about a dozen texts and checked email and the weather. So I don't believe its the battery. Any suggestions to help resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

likegod04, thank for posting. Are you still having battery issues? If so, then next option will be to replace the device. How long have you had it? Is there any physical or water damaged done to the phone?^SP

Battery drain after IOS 6 update

I and my 3 family members and two fellow employees have all noticed that since upgrading to IOS 6 on our cellphones we have had the following issues;
1. Massive battery drain
2. Battery heat-up during recharge with the phone on but not being used.
3. Lost data
With the phone on and not being used - the charge level drops much faster. I used to go the whole day on one charge and recharge at 10 pm with 30 - 40% of the charge left. Since the IOS 6 upgrade I'm recharging at 4pm with a 10% charge remaining on the phone .
Also - recharging the phone while it is on (but not in use) causes noticible battery heat-up.
Again - this was not the case for any of the 6 of us prior to downloading IOS 6
My conclusion is that there are aspects of this new operating system that use a lot more battery juice than the previous IOS 5.1.1
This significantly increased demand on the battery is showing up as much less operating time and battery heat-up during recharging.
Anybody else experiencing these issues ?

Got onto Apple Teckies yesterday & spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with a very helpfull bloke
that went through everything.
At this stage my phone has been reinstalled with iOS 6 as a New Phone (Like a test mode) so NONE
of my APP's or Settings only my Contacts from iCloud (As a New phone would come out of the box).
... From the time we finished uploading the iOS 6 softwear untill now my phone has only used 40%
battery so it's looking good.
If this works I then have to conect my phone with my iTunes & Reinstall from my Back Up to get all
My App's & Settings back.
... Then we will see if it has worked.
... Will let you all know what happens in the next 48 Hours.

Kindle Cloud Reader on N8 after belle refresh?

can somebody with the new browser following the refresh update confirm whether the amazon cloud reader now works? It doesn't on my pre-refresh n8 and i am thinking about buying a kindle but won't if the n8 can do it 'soon'.

Been using Mike Sheldon's Erudite Book Reeader upon my MeeGo N9 for quite a while, but Store feedback for recent Symbian version addition not so good unfortunately.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0
