(Green) Tip of the day: Unplug your charger! » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « In an effort to save energy as part of being environmentally friendly, Nokia has added a feature to newer devices like the 5800 XpressMusic, where the device instructs the user to “unplug charger from power supply to save energy.” Our tip of the day is a simple and Green one: unplug your charger from the wall outlet when your device is fully charged. This also counts for older device where you don’t get this message. It seems that when leaving the charger plugged in (not connected to the phone), it will still consume some energy, consequently energy is being wasted. As we all know, when it comes to the environment every bit helps!
I think that when updating the firmware of these devices, Nokia should not only add new features/fix bugs, but also add these “green” feature. Comments are welcome From my understanding, once the device is full charged, it will cut-off and will not allow the charger to continue feed power to charge it. Unlike previous technology 10 years ago where you can keep charging. I believe once it is fully charged in 1.5 hours, it is the same if you leave it plug in for another 10 hours. No additional continuous charging will go in, until the device battery goes below the threshold and a normal-loop charging cycle begins again.

Does switching it off do the trick or it must be unplugged from the power source? Yes, it will cut off, but the charger itself consumes some energy itself: "It seems that when leaving the charger plugged in (not connected to the phone), it will still consume some energy" |

The message above is for US AC plug. They don't have the on/off switch. |

First low battery warning of 67 hours of usage. Each day's usage around 30 minutes Wi-Fi (Opera Mini, Gmail, Twittix) and around 20 minutes of mp3 playback via speaker at 70%.
Will change back to my old battery and compare later.

Note that when you activate it it means you're activating the hotkeys to be on standby for you to turn on the torch function. Have you assigned the hotkeys yet? |

What do u mean buddy?? have u tried the apps for urself?? i was told that N82 do not support the torch apps cuz Xenon Flash cant be turned on for a long time...so i think this apps juz isnt suitable for N82 Besides, where is the shift key?? and wat is it??

Swt...not xenon flash...it's what required by teddy, "The ones that brighten the screen as bright as possible and stays until you close it."
It's the screen that stays lit, not the xenon flash.
Yes I've installed it myself, use it sometimes too in fact.
You have no other keys to assign except for the Multimedia Key.
After you've activated it, your multimedia key will not function as "multimedia" button anymore but "torch" instead.
By the way I have no idea what's "shift" for our n82, I don't think our n82 has a "shift" key.

Um, it's a "torch", keeps the screen as bright as possible, so that your n82 can let u read something or whatever in the dark. Not exactly a great app for n82, since the screen is not that bright, if you've noticed, as compared to other phone, but sometimes it's helpful. If the app is useless for you...then don't use it |

The battery is finally dead of 70.5 hours of usage. I killed it by snapping lots of pictures after only 1 bar is left. I'm back to the original battery now, see how long it will last with the same amount of usage. |
