Nokia 5800xm, very bad battery backup

hi all,
i have just bought Nokia 5800 XM, a week back. I am facing a very bad experience with this new phone since its giving a poor battery backup. The battery is not lasting even a day. I charge it fully in night and it starts getting down next day evening.
I am not using any application, neither any surfing. My talktime in a day is around 3 hrs max and listen to music max 1 hr.
Please suggest any workarounds, is this a generic problem all people are facing with this handset.
Should i contact nokia for replacing it?  

First, make sure you don't have any open applications in the background. Turn off bluetooth, Wi-Fi. Reduce the screen brightness to the minimum required for legibility. Reduce the level of haptic feedback. Make sure there is a good network coverage. Update the firmware to the latest version...
If these are done, then take a look at the battery: use the phone until the battery goes dead, or until you see the Battery Low message a couple of times. Then, charge the batter to 100%, uninterrupted. Now, repeat it 2-3 times. After that, use the phone like you normally do. Charge it as and when you want.
If you are comparing the performance with what is there in the spec-sheet, please be informed that what you see in the specs are the ideal values - under "standard test conditions". In practical life, you should expect considerable differences. 3 hours of calls and 1 hour of music does mean a good deal of strain on the battery. If the music is thru loudspeakers, it adds to it.
Cheers,

    I have a 4s runing 6.1.1 every 5minutes it promp me network lost and i have very bad battery issues lit draine so fast what should i do?

    What have you figured out? Anything? What you show just shows a pretty quiet system except for firefox having a bunch of tabs open. You've got some page ins and outs so you maybe your'e hitting your HD with swap files more than what you think?
    I think something like coconut battery app or something like it will tell you the charge cycles on the battery. How many do you have?
    Lastly, are you using any extensions like ad blocker, or click to flash?

  • Nokia 5800XM High Performance Battery

    Nokia 5800XM High Performance Battery
    I saw this advertisement and also some of my friends in Malaysia using high performance battery on their Nokia 5800XM phone. Whereby the standard power output allowed to the device is 3.7volts @ 1320mAH. However, these users bought higher performance battery (linked example below). My question is:
    1. Does this allowed by Nokia to be used by end-users on the device?
    2. Any side effects technically on long term use?
    3. Does Nokia covers warranty on this issue?
    Example seller link: http://www.valuemax.co.uk/product_details.php?id=15835
    Note: I prefer some senior members / Nokia staff to reply on this topic.
    TQ .. XM
    I'm an Xploit - Please feel free to post your issues, feedbacks in this discussion forum and I'll do my level best to help, otherwise my knowledged friends whom are around willing to help you. Thank you !

    Using this battery in and of itself will not have any impact on your warranty.
    However, if the phone is damaged through use of this battery (eg. electrolyte leakage or explosion!) then it will not be covered by the warranty.
    I actually have one of these batteries and I'm pleased with it. Please do note, however, that the camera window is poorly designed making flash photography impossible. There is no insulation between the flash and the lens meaning that light from the flash floods any photo taken using it. It has no discernable impact on daylight photography, though.

  • Nokia 5800xm - Problem while taking backup on PC ...

    While taking backup of my Nokia 5800xm on PC at the end it displays :The backup was finished but errors occured when backing up the phone contents. For more information see the backup report. The report suggested to try again after restarting the phone but no difference.. At the end it says Contacts, Calender and Messages can not be backed up as not enough memory...
    Pl. help

    Tried the backup thru' OVI Suit there is no such error message. Then again with Nokia Suit it shows error. Now this is confusing. I am having doubt whether it will be OK if I need a restore from the one thru' OVI Suit and all my data including Contacts, Calender entries, Messages will be restored totally..

  • Very low Battery backup

    I have a BB curve 9300, my friends who are having the same device are getting good battery backup. But, mine gets almost exhausted in 12-18hrs........... 
    Any advices???

    So good tips-
    Turn off bluetooth and wifi when not inuse
    Delete unused apps
    Review the refresh time on apps like Facebook, twitter etc - refreshing every 10minutes will kill your battery
    general usage - if you are satisfied playing games or listening to music your phone will run out faster than someone who just uses their phone occasionally

    I am not getting any battery back-up at all after the ios 7.0.3 update. I charge the phone to 100% before I go to sleep and turn off all the extra things like wifi or cellular data or anything which consumes battery and the next day morning when I wake up 20% or 30% drop of battery would be there. Before this update it was just 1% or 2% drop in battery. Why is this bad? Please help and please let me know when they are gona relase an ios with battery fixes?

    No Bluetooth (Airdrop or earphones or speakers)
    Dynamic wallpaper (same for lock and home)
    All stock apps excluding Passbook in Notification Center (one third-party app as well)
    Brightness set at third level (lined it up with third volume level by equalizing it on control center--lined them up)
    Sound at halfway

    Music Late Night Equalizer on

    Hi @zenesa! Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    When did you perform the update?
    The phone needs a few days for the OS to settle and sync your data, It's normal for the first few days to shed battery life faster than normal.

    i have mainstage 3 installed and works 1oo% when connected to the battery, but when connecting to the mains for charging the program crashes. sounds do not obey. is one, even very bad horrible latency.
    and I need to work on music not only in time but the battery after that.
    I ask for help please

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!
