Possible cure for battery issues

hi
first of all i dont own the device yet
i am user of 5530,5800,n8,c7,701
i was looking farword to bring in my hands the first nokia wp7 but due to features missing and (in my opinion) little overpriced at the moment(as sim free) i will wait for the next nokia wp7
but being for a while in nokia forums i deside to write this atricle with my opinion about the battery issue (IF IT IS) with the 800
after reading many users facing problem with battery  in different revious and forums about my N9 last longer or my N8 etc i deside to do a test with my current in use 701(1300milliamber battery and the brightness screen that nokia offers right now)
i left all day the phone connected to 3g and gprs data with about 5 min calls couple of textsand little browsing fmobi,little use the default browser,little use apps which connects to internet ...all these  for about 1,5 - 2 hrs
it did last about 12 hrs same as some users with the lumia
Now if you dont belive me TRY THE SAME TEST BY YOUR SELFS
what i have understand (as i dont own the device) is that perhaps by default or out of the box (and especially the branded phones from the providers) is that featurs like wifi or data, nokia account, market place bing etc must be ON
if was the same issue with my 701 it will not go too far of course
what nokia possible can do is to do a frimware update which in start up or rebooting the phone....dark them,wifi,data,bluetooth,internet connection should be off by default like in symbian
i am sure the upcoming new customers will not have future complains
but i belive this is important as some poeple dont have the knowlege to do all these to turn off manual, especially in a new UI that they are using first time (wp7) and of course having a new phone most of them especially the non experts can think the battery drains so easy if all are ON
******* or at least nokia should make it like symbian to turn off automatic after closing apps,face,twitter,email etc
thanks for your time reading
for me after my Xmas bonus(if any lol)  i will go for a windows phone(sim unlocked)either if nokia or other brand
of course i can wait for the next nokia model not because of the battery issue but i prefer in windows phone 7 bigger screen
thanks again

I must agree with your thinking...
When I first got my C7, battery wasn't lasting a day...
And the reasons was the ones you said...
e-mail was keeping data on, WiFi was always looking for a connexion
I won't say that the Lumia 800 can't have any battery issues, but first of all, it's our use that kill off the bettery...
Setting e-mil to work only once per hour, setting WiFi off when not used...
Only those 2 option give a bette life to the battery...

  • Possible explanation for L920 issues

    Hello,
    I will be sending an official Email to Nokia about my experience with the L920 and my observation but would like to share with you what my device is struggling with. I will have to confirm that my device, including the battery is fault free.
    ** GPS
    Somtimes the GPS will not lock. It will work for minutes, hours but out of the blue just refuses to respond anymore. 
    I can confirm this issue after several tests. It's obviously software related.
    Tried it with many GPS softwares; sometimes GPSinfo can't use the GPS, instead it displays using A-GPS ( Assisted GPS ) from GSM data. Accuracy is somehow 100-200 meters that's why you will see your position jumping all around the map.
    The only solution is to reset the device. Once done, if you open GPSinfo for example, it will connect to the sattelite and lock in seconds. If you retry after half an hour, it still locks. If you use the device for hours moderately and try again, it fails. Hence I have to reboot it.
    If it's a hardware issue, GPS will lock sporadically regardless of reboots which is not the case.
    ** Speakers
    Another thing I noticed... When you play a notification, if you put your ears next to the speakers in the button when it's over, there will be a light buzzing sound barely noticeable ( if you are in a quiet room ) for 2-3 seconds and then will go away. It basically means that the speakers were on and went into standby. Another explanation to why sometimes when I get a notification I hear a crackling distored sound then it continues normally. Should be because the audio device is waking up.
    I have repeated the scenario for 15 minutes playing notifications on and off and stimulating the speakers; I observed a fast battery drain along with overheat ( Battery Sense displayed -41% / hour with brightness medium ) and my battery went from 72% to 58% which is odd. I've always had mediocre battery performance with moderate usage and excellent standby time so my battery is not defective nor my device is.
    Also if you play an MP3 whatsoever and you keep pressing Vol Up or Vol Down, the sound will distort until you stop pressing.
    It could be a reason why sometimes battery drains way faster than it should as I sometimes receive 90-100 notifications per hour ( Mail exchange + whatsapp + facebook chat etc.. )
    **Brightness
    You don't want to count on your AutoBrightness settings in WP8 do you ? Usually in a sunny day, if you go outside, your phone should increase the brightness and reduce it back when you go indoor.
    With WP8 it's not the case. It's only working one way. When you are already indoor and go out while using your phone, it will indeed increase the brightness. However, If you are in using your phone with full brightness and move to a dark place, it will not reduce the brightness unless you lock the screen and unlock it.
    Now what happens here is a disaster to the battery in my opinion. If you are moving around at night and your proximity sensor gets exposed directly to a light from a random source ( lamp above you whatsoever ) it will increase the brightness while you're using your phone but wont decrease it back once you move.
    You will probably not notice that the screen brightness has increased if the background is black but it will drain your battery much faster.
    Remember, although it might look like Autobrightness is ON but in reality the system will consider what has been set in the manual settings to adjust the brightness accordingly. That being said, those values probably will be the threshold. If set to medium, in a sunny day outside, WP8 will increase the brightness to medium as a maximum or so.
    ** Battery
    Now this one is quite strange but it looks like WP8 battery meter isn't accurate at all. I did many recharging-discharing cycles from 2% to 100% leaving it for hours on power but it looks like WP8 doesn't give you accurate numbers. After unplugging the device from full charge, I left the screen on for 10 minutes to lock : the percentage remaining  was still at 100%.then started decreasing slowing to 96% after 30 minutes. I left my phone idle on standby for another 30 minutes and found the battery still at 95%. Played with the device for around 10 minutes and it dropped to 87% ( browsing app store no intensive tasks involved )
    Now the suprising thing is that when I hit 17% after hours, I had to reboot the device to find that the battery remaining jumped back to 39%. This is quite odd.
    One possible explanation in my opinion is that WP8 uses an algorithm to estimate the percentage of battery remaining based on your usage history ( could be last 30 minutes or hour ) and displays the remaining percentage which doesn't look accurate if anything. A potential reason to why some people excluding those with overheat issue, are reporting mixed battery life observation. One day the battery seem to drain faster than the other one.
    Note that this is my own observation based on several experiments and tests of two Lumia 920 devices.

    I will keep playing with the device and update you with my findings. My aim is to bring myself and all Lumia x20 users the best experience out of an outstading piece of hardware.

    Here's how this forum works:
    Original poster reports a battery/stability/heating/GPS issue
    Someone suggests to do a soft reset
    Original poster reports having done that, it helped for a while, and now the issues are back
    Now someone suggests the OP to take backups of their data on the phone and do a hard reset.
    OP does this and spends a long time setting the phone back up to their liking only to find that the issues are still there
    OP is told to contact Nokia Care and hope for best
    Has anyone had their issues permanently fixed by doing a soft or a hard reset? 
    I'm doing a hard reset on my Lumia 920 as we speak so I can take it to Nokia Care and so far it has had the turning cogs going for 13 hours. I'm afraid of interrupting the process, but surely it's not supposed to take this long.

  • Going to the apple store with my iPhone 5 tomorrow for battery issues. What will my replacement be?

    I know the innards of the 5c are the same as the normal 5, and since they don't produce the 5 anymore, will I be stuck getting a 5c as a possible replacement? I'd perfer a 5 since I have cases for it and all that I just wanna know what to expect. thanks!

    If you get a replacement, it will be a refurbished iPhone 5.  OTOH, if your you have just a battery problem, the battery will be replaced in your current phone.

  • When i paste some copied color text or formatted cells from excel to my mail draft while composing a mail, it is being pasted as plain text. No back groud or text colors are copied to it. Please suggest a possible solution for this issue.

    Colors & Formatted Cells from Excel application can not be copied to my mail composer as it is. Only Plain text is copied.

    Wish I could be king. But you described the problem perfectly and I am still but a pawn. All I can say is that I trashed the mail preferences (com.apple.mail.plist) on my Mac Mini, and now my MacBook seems to work right.
    Sorry. :>) But that is the truth... The MacBook now has actually sometimes displayed pasted text in its actual, different, font and style as I paste it into a partially composed new mail message.
    In other (more rational) words, the problem seems to be tied to pasting only certain types of text. I have not been able yet to pinpoint what. Yes, frustrating indeed. The only work-around has been to re-train my fingers to command-option-shift V, for "paste and match style" (like you, I do not want to always use only plain text). Maybe someone else will eventually weigh in with a real solution. The solution I want is just to be able to consistently see any font variations within my message before I send the email.
    The info about the different ppi scales between Windows and Mac is interesting, although not relevant to this particular problem. It does explain the apparent overall size differences I have seen before.

  • New Macbook Air - Possible Battery Issues?

    Is it normal for my new 2013 macbook air to lose a tremendous amount of power overnight when it is sleeping? When I put it to sleep at night with over 50% remaining on the battery, the charge is usually about 10% in the morning. Sometimes the device is extrememly warm as well.
    I did change the sleep settings so that it does not save the info on my RAM to my SSD and locked the sleep image file to prevent the computer from using it. Is that a possible reason for the battery issues?

    I "fixed" it by reverting my sleep settings back to default hibernate mode 3, which means that every time I put the computer to sleep it will save my RAM to the SSD via the sleepimage file.
    As of changing that setting back, my Air has been been sleeping properly (I think).
    I didn't find a solution where I could prevent the sleepimage file from being created/used every time I put the computer to sleep and still get the Air to sleep properly.
    I think what was originally happening was that because I locked the sleepimage file, the computer spent the entire time it was suppose to be sleeping trying to access the sleepimage file - causing an enormous amount of battery drainage over time.

  • Sir since update of ios 8.1.2 i got serious battery problem on 3g 4.30 hrs my battery gets low and sometimes serious net probelms please give an update for this issue its not alone me my friends too getting many problem lcommonly battery problem

    sir since update of ios 8.1.2 i got serious battery problem on 3g 4.30 hrs my battery gets low and sometimes serious net probelms please give an update for this issue its not alone me my friends too getting many problem commonly battery problem please can this be resolved
    its not related to any hardware because last year april i got replacement new phone from apple and i maintained it well...!

    Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • A suggestion for those with battery issues:

    When I first got my iPhone, I had the same battery issues many people here are talking about, in fact I posted about it myself. Its fixed. Very fixed, and Im very happy with my battery life. Here is what I did.
    First, do not charge it using your USB connection. At least not always. Why? I dont know. I did the first few days, and couldnt get a full charge even tho system wasnt going to sleep. I started using the wall charger, and got longer battery life, but still not great. One night, I forwarded the phone to my home phone in case I got a call, and shut the phone down completely, and put it on charge. In the morning, I woke up to a 100% charged, fully glowing battery icon. The battery lasted all day with no issues. Every night after that, I just charged it on the wall charger, but did NOT shut it down to see what happened. I am still waking up every morning to a 100% fully charged battery. The battery life seems to get better daily now.
    Today, I ran wifi for about 5 hours because I forgot to shut it off. This was after going to the pool and listening to the iPod on the phone for about 2 hours. And using the phone normally throughout the day, checking mail, sms, etc. Really a full day of work, and my battery is still over 50% full. I purposely didnt connect it to anything during the day for a recharge, not the USB or wall charger.
    Good luck, hope this helps. Id be interested to know if it does.

    Here's my non-scientific experiment.
    After surprising battery drain for the first 10 days or so with not much usage, I completely drained the battery yesterday until the phone shut off.
    I plugged into AC charge and was worried when it didn't seem to even begin charging.
    I plugged into USB, assuming it needed to charge enough to at least complete a sync.
    I left it on USB until about 5-10% charge, then switched it to AC. At about 50% I needed to use it, so I did but sparingly, and put it back on charge, all the while keeping Mail on manual and WiFi off.
    I took it off once more to get it home from the office, then plugged into AC.
    I left that charging overnight.
    I never actually got the "glow", but did get the plug icon showing full charge in the status bar.
    After about 2 1/2 hours this morning, the status has not moved off of 100% (but with little usage as before).
    This is definitely an improvement already though. Hope this helps.

  • Forget the battery issue for a moment,

    I think the battery issue will be fixed, I think there are many reasons for it, I'm not going to speculate. What I would like to know is if you can forget the battery issue for a moment, What do you think of the 4S itself, the camera, mirroring onto apple tv etc...have you been happy with the phone and its functions and if it didn't have a battery issue right now would you reccomend it? I'm thinking about buying two of them and that is a substantial investment, just wondering if it's everything its cracked up to be...Thanks!

    Yeah it's a good phone.  It's my first iPhone.  I came from a Droid Bionic, so I am use to no battery life.  I usually charge it at my desk at work and it last all night until I get back to work.  I listen to music on my car, so it's tied to the USB input to my car, so I don't really have an issue with the battery.
    The camera is really good.  For a point and click, it's fast and the pictures are clear.  They only thing I run into, which is on every phone camera is smudges on the lense.
    It took a lot of getting use to going from the Bionic 4.3" screen to the 3.5" screen.
    I don't have the Aple TV set up, so I can't answer that.
    What I like about Apple products?  They work.  Very simply, they just work.

  • Advice for ppl that have Battery Issues

    Hi everyone,
    I been using my Lumia 800 since December and recenty updated it to the latest firmware version.
    I charge my Lumia via USB every night and it lasts me for a good 13+ hours with lite/medium usage. Usage such as checking Facebook/Twitter updates, Fuse for RSS feeds, Outlook/personal e-mails, messaging, playing and download music and light gaming about 15 minutes.
    I usually leave my Wifi turned Of. Only in places I turn it on are at Wifi hotspots which I have passwords to.
    After recieving the latest firmware I hard resetted my phone and started from scratch no complaints. If you having battery issues after the firmware update this is what I recommend
    1. Perform a hard reset on your phone
    2. Charge the phone to max using USB. I heard the faster the phone charges the faster the battery will die so I charge my phone nice and slow via USB every night
    3. Run the basic applications and see how long your battery lasts you for. So run your phone with the stock apps for a day and see how good it lasts you and then slowly start adding apps. Maybe theres an app in the background messing up your battery life etc
    Give this a try and see if it improves your day to day experience I can go through a day with ligjht/medium usage but usually I charge it at night. From what I understand this update focuses on Idle time so as long as your phone is in idle it shouldn't eat alot of battery.
    Let me know what you guys think and if this helped you guys with your battery problems. If you guys have any questions you can hit me up on twitter @based_graham

    you could choose to back it up if you want. The important thing is that you do not restore after u formated your iPhone to your backups.
    Go here for learning how to disable iTunes backup:
    http://iphonefreakz.com/2008/07/27/windows-users-disable-itunes-backup-for-faste r-sync/
    for now u can choose to cancel (x) backup. sync your photos and videos and contact info and etc.
    one more point, you must reset to erase all data and content. restore alone will not fully erase your phone.

    Anyone having battery issues on iphone4 after using Garmin 2.0 for a while?

    Hi mate. I'm afraid I haven't got a solution, but just wanted to say that I am having the exact same problem in my Lexus. I have an iPhone 5 which was paired and working perfectly while running iOS 6 and then iOS 6.0.1. But I was having all sorts of wifi problems (this is my second iPhone 5 as Apple replaced the first one but I've still got the same wifi issues!) so I had hoped 6.0.2 would fix these bugs. But - as you've found too - it's broken by Bluetooth connection to my car!
    I too had tried the same things as you : deleting the profiles etc. but it just won't pair!
    If anyone has a solution please help!!

  • Took my phone to a 3rd party repair service for low battery issues.  He says my board is bad.  Offered to buy my phone for parts.  Am I being ripped off?

    My phone worked only while it was on a charger.  I took it in to have the battery replaced.  Afterward, my phone wouldn't work at all.  He says my board is bad and offers me my $60 back that I paid for battery replacement and he keeps my phone for replacement parts.  I think I'm getting scammed.  What do you think?

    Thanks for all of the replies.  I wanted to post an update as a courtesy.  This store has had my phone for 5 days.  Yesterday, after testing, he said my board is defective.  He wanted to put it in a diferent case, but he didn't have time, so I gave him another day.  Went in the next day, still not done, but offered me my $60 back, but he was going to keep my phone for extra parts.  I said no, I wanted to keep it. So I went in the next day to pick it up.  Again, it wasn't ready.  I told him I'll come back later to pick it up, he said OK.  I went in again today, it still wasn't ready.  I said I want my phone NOW, so he conceded and looked at my phone, said "hmmm...it appears to be working.  Maybe it was the port."  I just took my phone and got the **** out of there.  I've been using it for the past 3 hours and it hasn't shut down on me and the battery is still full.  All I gotta say is, don't go to anyone but the original maker.  Lesson learned.  Thanks for bearing with me.
