N95 Better Battery by NOKIA?

Well people basically the N91 had a battery which was BL-5C but was at 900mAh. Since the battery fault & Nokia were replacing battery of BL-5C the new version is BL-5C at 1020mAH giving more battery power.
However why dont Nokia give valued N95 customers a better battery with more power? It had been done to the BL-5C so i dont see any problems with N95 users getting a FREE upgrade to a better battery life by Nokia.
So i think N95 users should get this done by Nokia for FREE just by giving details (number of ur battery to Nokia) & they should send a FREE batter battery to us.
It can be done so why don't Nokia do this?

OK, I use my N95 every day. I charge it every night while sleeping, I talk on the phone 1,5-2 hours pr day, and sends max 5 sms.
I switched OFF, WLAN, 3G, Bluetooth. I loaded a black theme to lower the power consumption. I do not listen to music, i do not use the browser, i do not use the camera.......after 12 hours, my N95 warns me about low battery.
I think i've done enough.....this phone/battery sucks.
I have this multipurpose device, and i cant barely use it for telephony....nice :-(
Sorry for being offtopic, but how can I disable the 3G?

N95 and battery

hi i have had an N95 since june 2007 - i love it but there is one thing that is irritating me and thats the battery (BL-5F 950 mAh 3.7v ) it goes down v quickly and sometimes the phone dies quite suddenly. eg every two days - i don't use it continuously or anything like that - some texting a few phone calls,a few photos and a little bit of surfing. the other day it was warning me the battery was low - i put on charge in my car for a about 15 mins to boost it up and then walked round town and then realised my phone had crashed - this doesn't seem right to me. What do you think - should i contact o2 who i've my contract with or what??

hi,
The same recently happened to me - battery just fading away after half a day - when not even using it to make calls / surf / bluetooth etc... Usually the battery lasted about 2 days (well it did for the first 6 months !)
I got a free replacement from T Mobile but that seemed to do the same (I'm still not sure if it was a brand new battery they sent me or a refurb.) So I sent the second battery back, stating it too was faulty. I now have the Third replacement battery (They made a point of telling me that they were going to send me a brand new battery - but it still arrived loose in an envelope - looking a bit worn I might add!) and guess what ? Same problem.
The only thing I can think of is that I upgraded the software recently (to 12.0.013 - From 11.0.026) and this has caused the problems - either that or 3 "new" batteries mysteriously failed at the same time.
*** I just did an experiment with the GPS function (my wife has the same phone - no battery problems) ***
I just tried MAPS - It seems that after upgrading my phone software - my phone can now get a GPS fix between 5 and 45 seconds - hers still doesn't have a GPS fix after 10 mins! Does this mean that the latest software is running the GPS receiver in the background? and consequently draining my battery much more than it used to?
I am not very happy if this is the case, as although I occasionally use the navigation function on my phone - I'd rather start the GPS up a few minutes before I go somewhere and have my battery last 2 days rather than half a day - Just so that I can occasionally get a quick GPS fix !
....Any one else experience any similar battery problems ?
Oh, I almost forgot - in answer to the above question, you can purchase the N95 8GB battery and put it in the N95 - it lasts much longer. Nokia beefed it up a fair bit for the "black N95 with more memory".
-So my advice is buy the BL-5G battery as a replacement for the "weedier" BL-5F. I think that's probably what I'll be forced to do if I can't resolve this power draining problem.

I have a ipod mini, i upgraded my battery, and drive to 32 GB, my itunes will not see it, and the mini only shows file pic error. I have a 10.4.11 powerbook 667 so i can't upgrade to a newer itunes, which is 4.7.1, all i want is a better battery-more song

Hi,
I have a older ipod mini which needed a battery, so i also upgraded the drive to a 32 GB flash drive. When i did the upgrade, it saw the itunes fine, but it never loaded anything. When i unplug it it shows the folder with "!" icon, and i can't get my itunes to see it. I have a powerbook 667 mhz g4 with itunes 10.4.11, so i can't upgrade to leopard. All i wanted was a better battery and a bit more song volume. This older 4 GB will fit back in and works fine, but i'm upset i spent $37 to only fail. What am i doing wrong? itunes is 4.7.1 How can i over come this?

In Disk Utility, select the iPod (the device) in the sidebar. So, if you see the iPod in the sidbar with a "volume" indented below the iPod, select the "device" (not the volume).
Go to the Erase tab to the right. The choice for Format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Name does not matter, because iTunes will rename it during the Restore. Click Erase.
it "flashed" out of itunes.
That may be an issue with the USB connection. As a test, shut down (power off) the Mac. Disconnect other USB devices including USB hub, except for standard USB keyboard and mouse (if normally used). SInce this is a laptop, connect it to its power adapter, so that it's not running on battery power.
Connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the Mac. Note if there is any difference regarding the iPod not maintaining a connection.

Iphone; best practice for better battery life

Okay, I've searched other threads and can't really find anything definitive on all this. I've found my battery life to be disappointing; I can go one and a half days without wi-fi or bluetooth turned on before it turns off.
1) Is it true that when I press and hold the 'home' key while in an application the application 'quits.' If so, is this more likely to save battery life? Does an application ever really 'quit?' It strikes me that it doesn't.
2) If move from safari to home without quitting is that safari page still loading, and thus sucking up battery life ?
3) If I hold the sleep and home keys at the same time I am able to turn off my iphone. What is the advantage of doing this at all? Has anyone experimented with turning the phone off at night? If so, has anyone noticed a better battery life? Is the iphone even meant to be turned off?
4) Should I be turning off the iphone to charge it once in a while; the other threads I've read seem to indicate no, however, I thought I would open this up again.

I believe you directed this at me: I called them...I do not have an apple store within a reasonable distance. They sent the loaner phone in a box, waived my rental fee. I sync my phone took out the sim card and put it in the loaner phone, syncd the loaner phone and had all my stuff. put my phone in the box, fed ex picked it up the next day. I tracked it on the apple repair site, it said they were running diagnostics that same day and the next the web site said replacement phone sent and it got to me in a brand new nice little apple box like the original, only smaller. None of the accessories were sent in or replaced. Hope that answers your question.
Good Luck!

Is there anyone with *better* battery performance on the 3GS?

OK, there are a lot of posts complaining about the 3GS battery life. I'm now curious to find out if there's a bad batch of batteries, or if it's a software issue involving all iPhone 3GS.
My question: is there anyone out there who's getting better battery performance on the 3GS when compared to the 3G, as advertised by Apple?
I understand that there are at least 3 kinds of battery issues showing up in this forum:
1. abysmal battery life caused by Exchange Push acting up
2. defective battery
3. "it seems a little worse than the 3G, something must be wrong"
There's nothing that can be done for categories 1 and 2, and I think it's interesting to talk about case 3.
Could it be that the 3GS battery indicator is simply more linear (and better calibrated) than the one on the 3G? I am one of those people experiencing subjectively worse battery life on my 3GS when compared to the 3G. But then I stopped and asked myself how I actually measure this.
Well, the difference is that the 3G stays at 100% much longer, then starts to go down very quickly. The 3GS, on the other hand, doesn't like staying at 100% and starts going down earlier but slower. But if I let them both drain, the performance at the end of the day will probably seem similar.
I tried to drain my 3GS with some heavy Safari surfing over WiFi and 3G, 30 minutes of 3G calls, using some third party apps, and with a 1-hour Peggle play. Then I finally played some videos, and it went dead after 5 hours of usage and 15 hours of stand by.
Is that the performance that can be expected, or can we hope for more? I never did the same test on the 3G, because I never noticed the battery meter going down like that, but I'm pretty sure it would turn out quite similar.
What do you think?

Battery performance depends on what you have running on your iPhone.
e.g. If you have Brightness set to high (or full) with Auto Dimming Disabled, Locations Services, Push Notification (set Fetch to Manually), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (ask to join networks enabled too) and 3G all enabled your battery will get used a lot quicker, especially if you use Third Party Apps on top of all these other things.
If however you activate Wi-Fi when you want to use it, or Bluetooth etc as your needs require, battery performance will be better (as in your battery will last longer before requiring a charge). If you are on a low 3G coverage area, why have your iPhone constantly trying to join a 3G network? Switch 3G off and use the conventional carrier (2G) until you return to an area where you know 3G coverage is better.
I know these measures are less convenient than just having everything switched on, but if you want to maximise battery use between charges try activating the features you require when you require them, then disable them when you don't require them instead of having everything switched on permanently.
I have noticed when Push is enabled (3G has to be enabled also), it absolutely canes the battery

Late 2008 MacBook Pro automatically switches back to "Better battery life"

Lately I've been using my mac for a little gaming (now that there's Steam and Starcraft 2), so I've been using the "Higher performance setting" in the Energy Saver preference pane.
But every once in a while I notice my games have automatically set me settings down. And sure enough, when I check, the setting has reverted to "Better battery life."
I know I'm not setting it back there. Anyone know why it would be reset?
My intuition tells me it has something to do with user switching. I use 2 accounts (1 for work and 1 for home) and will Fast User Switch between the 2 of them.
Any help is appreciated.

If you turn off IR (security prefs), turn off the keyboard backlight, and keep the screen backlight down you may be able to increase it a bit. Turning off wireless when not in use will of course increase it tremendously.
But if you have calibrated your battery it sounds about right. Just monitor your battery health with iStat Pro or Apple System Profiler.

Is there any alternative battery for Nokia X2-00?

Hi there, I was just wonderin'... is there any alternative battery for Nokia X2? coz BL-C4 battery is a li'l bit short for its lifespan. It could only take a few hours to play some music (through headset/loudspeaker)
please help, thanks in advance...

Hi Hanumantji,
Can you provide us your phone model? One possible reason why the phone hangs is that there is not enough memory available to carry out phone functions. You can move your data files from phone to memory card (provided that your phone supports Memory Card). If still the same, you can try to restore the phone to its factory settings as indicated on your manual.

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?

Iphone "better" than any Nokia?

Well, it is not an easy subject since there are many "religious" Nokia fans on this forum. The information I will give is objective, and based on my experienced with both brands. First of all, the simplity of Iphones compared to symbian and windows mobile (is also a HTC user), are like 2 different worlds. In USA, Africa and other contries, the inhabitants are analphabets. Iphone is genious since it only have 1 button (the on/ plus volume is extra). it has extremely self explained symbols on the screen. That make it easy to use both for ordinary analphabets, but also for "technical" analphabets. The second is that you easely can change many language and tastateur input. If you choose chinese you can also chose to "draw" the chinese letters on the screen!!!
Symbian and windows mobile are to difficult to use. I see other places in this forum that the discussion is about if Iphone is a smartphone or not! What a waste of time! I also have a N97 that stopped to work after one week. The display got extremely hot (almost fire). The tastateur can be used, but N97 is badly constructed! I can not get acess to all symbols on the tastateur, I need to have the display. So, is Nokia still your favourite?

Iphone "better" than any Nokia? ur title really took me off, Its really a big bold statement u get fascinated towards a mobile phone which is good in "technical" analphabets" not technically good
Iphone is Locked towards a Single provider who doesn't allow the Phone to tether with the computer and not allows u to send a MMS, well Iphone got the Features finally i am talking about but how to explore it real Bummer
People say Jailbreak ur Iphone u will come to know what it is capable of doing, last thing i want to do after buying a costly "wood" is to Jailbreak it to know what it can offer to me another Bummer
Ur daughter's Nokia mobile was soaped for 45 mins after which u took it and opened it cleaned and made it to run again first u will void ur cell phone's warranty and can u do the same to ur Iphone

N97 is badly constructed, there are lot of N97 buyers who purchased for it solid,Robust design and found it to be great there was not even a single complaint that the Build quality was not Satisfying or clunky
Sorry for ur display becoming Hot could be a hardware defect which neeeds to be checked and inspected in a Nokia care center or u can ask for a replacement
Rest of what an iphone cannot do for a basic user who wants his mobile to do such basic things was justified by Grschinon very well
At last YES Nokia is my favourite for lot of reasons

Graphics: Better battery life / Higher performance

Is there any advice on the Graphics: Better battery life / Higher performance options in the Energy Saver System Preferences? I’m wondering whether to do this on with astronomy programs Voyager and Starry Night. {So far, attempts to use OpenGL in Starry Night have crashed my machine.}
Or maybe this is all more a gamer thing?
Certainly there does seem to be a noticeable battery hit with Higher Performance on. And it doesn’t seem possible to opt for Higher Performance only when the power cable is plugged in.

It's mostly a gamer thing. If your astronomy apps work OK when you're using the Better Battery Life setting, don't bother opting for Higher Performance.
You're right: you can't opt to use Higher Performance only when the power cable is plugged in, and have the machine switch automatically to Better Battery Life whenever you unplug the adapter. You must log out and back in again to make the switch, whether the machine is plugged in or not.

Selecting "better performance" vs "better battery" via desktop icon

Several months ago, I recall being able to click on the battery icon on the top right when I'm running on battery power to allow me to select the type of battery consumption I wanted to use. I believe it was something to the effect of "better performance" and "better battery life." Now, when I click on the battery, I can not switch my power/performance preferences via the battery. Did I do something or did a software update remove this feature? How do I get it back?

Is this a Unibody MacBook Pro? It appears so, if so this setting is controlled in the Energy Saver preference pane ONLY now, because of the logout required to switch graphics processors.

Better Battery for the N95?

Hello everyone
This is my first post on the support site and I'm disappointed to see that I'm not alone in experiencing problems with the N95 and specifically the shockingly poor battery life. My last Nokia was an N70 and I don't agree with other people who had said that poor battery life is a feature of the N series phones as I could go almost 3 weeks between charges. I find that even with only moderate use the battery in my N95 goes from a full charge to empty within 5 days (approximately only 70 hours) and I don't see the point in having a phone with all of these features if you have to charge it every few days. I'm not using the GPS function, WLAN scanning is switched off as is Bluetooth and I'm only sending a few text messages a day and making a couple of calls yet everytime that I look at the display the battery has gone down another notch. Looking in the Vodafone catalogue the standby time is quoted at up to 260 hours but I would love someone from Nokia to demonstrate how they managed to arrive at this figure.
I love the features of the phone (I've not had any other problems so far!)but I feel that Nokia have released the N95 with a very poor battery (like the old Ipods) and the poor consumer is left to try muddle along trying to save battery life.
Does anyone know if Nokia are planning to release an updated battery that might actually last a decent amount of time between charges?

1) I charged the battery full early in the morning at 6. I recieved just one call at 9 and my battery was finished at 2:30. Just for 8 hours standby time?
Sounds like you had everything running: 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, screen at max brightness etc. That would affect battery life.
Also, there are many people who believe that battery life can be optimised by conditioning the battery when you first get it: run the battery all the way down and charge over night for the first 3 or 4 cycles.

2) I charged it fully, used GPS for 30 mins and battery was finsihed after 3 hours? What was that?
Running GPS is really going to take it out of the battery: the GPS receiver is working, the processor is working, the screen's on - basically the battery is getting hammered.
I get a similar affect running SatNav with my N80 and that uses an external GPS, ie: one that's not powered by the phone's battery.

3) I fully charged the battery connected to WIFI and did chat on MSN for around 1 hour and battery was finished exactly after 3.5 hours.
Again, the phone was working pretty hard for an hour there - you should think of that as at least the equivalent of having made a 1 hour call.

Size of the device: a higher capacity battery would be bigger so the phone would have to be bigger.

waqarbashir wrote:
We will be getting battery replacement? or nokia will be releasing some new battery in future for N95?
Almost certainly not: most of the previous N-series phones have had the same issues and none of their batteries have been upgraded.

waqarbashir wrote:
Anyone if having same problem with battery please post comments here or its just with my device?
There are plenty of threads about this, so I guess it's quite common - though I notice a lot of people reporting that battery life is actually better than they had with the N95's predecessor, the N80.

Nokia Email Beta - Battery problems

hi,
i have just recently purchased the E71. i used it for about a week before installing the new Email Service Beta. Since installing it, I don't seem to get more than 24hours out of the phone, which should last 10 days.
I also noticed that once the Nokia Email Service Beta was installed the 3G network connection stays permanently connected. I wondered if this might be part of the reason for the battery being used up so quickly?
I realise this is a very early beta, so i'm just pointing out my experience (reporting bugs) rather than looking for a solution.

If you still want to receive e-mail on the phone but don't need to know the second it arrives, then you can have the phone poll your e-mail account every 30 minutes. Furthermore, you can have it do so only between certain hours and on selected days
The phone will then only connect periodically, you'll still know fairly quickly if there's mail for you and your battery will last much longer.
IMAP4 is a good solution to synchronize mail across multiple machines. Whenever you sync to your mailbox on one machine, it'll automatically see whatever you've done previously on another machine accessing the same mailbox. Concurrent access to the same mailbox by multiple machines is still a bit of a headache.
