i remove all my homescreen. still there's data transfer. hope they will have application to auto block all this.

Many features in your Nokia N8 device increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life time. To save battery power, note the following:

  1. Features that use Bluetooth technology, or allowing such features to run in the background while using other features, increase the demand on battery power. To prolong the operating time of your device, turn the Bluetooth technology off when you do not need it (Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth > Bluetooth = Off).

  2. Features that use wireless LAN (WLAN) increase the demand on battery power. WLAN on your Nokia device switches off when you are not trying to connect, not connected to another access point, or not scanning for available networks. To further reduce battery consumption, you can specify that your device does not scan, or scans less often, for available networks in the background. WLAN switches off in between background scans. When Menu > Settings > Connectivity > WLAN > Options > Settings > Show WLAN availability is set to Never, the WLAN availability icon is not shown in the standby mode. However, you can still manually scan for available WLAN networks and connect to WLAN networks as usual.

  3. If you have set Packet data connection to When available in connection settings, and there is no packet data coverage (GPRS), the device periodically tries to establish a packet data connection, which causes increased demand on battery power. To prolong the operating time of your device, select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Admin.settings > Packet Data > Packet data connection > When needed.

  4. The Ovi Maps application downloads new map information when you scroll to new areas on the map, which increases the demand on battery power. You can avoid the automatic downloading of map data by downloading the needed map data via PC to your device.

  5. If the signal strength of the cellular network varies much in your area, your device must scan for the available network repeatedly. This increases the demand on battery power. If the network mode is set to dual mode in the network settings, the device searches for the UMTS network. If it is not available, the device uses the available GSM network. To only use the GSM network, select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Network > Network mode > GSM.

  6. The backlight of the display increases the demand on battery power. To change the timeout after which the backlight is switched off, select Menu > Settings > Phone > Display > Light time-out. To adjust the light sensor that observes the lighting conditions and adjusts the brightness of the display, in the display settings, select Light sensor.

  7. Screensaver clock can be turned off to save battery. Select Menu > Settings > Themes > Screensaver > None.

  8. The notification lights can be turned off to save the battery. Select Menu > Settings > Phone > Notification lights and disable the breathing light in Breathing light and adjust the light settings for different events in Notification light menu.

  9. Leaving applications running in the background increases the demand on battery power. To close the applications you do not use, press and hold the menu key, swipe to the application in the list and close it by selecting X.

  10. Pay special attention that you don't leave applications running in the background which are using GPS or network connection, for example Maps and AccuWeather, if you are not using these applications.

  11. Home screen widgets may periodically connect to internet if the home screen is in online mode. If you are not actively using the widgets, the automatic connection can be disabled by selecting Options > Widgets to offline mode on the home screen.

  12. Installed 3rd party applications may consume extra power. Uninstall the application if you have noticed that power consumption has increased after the application was installed and if the application is not needed any more.

  13. The AMOLED display in your device consumes more power with white color. Therefore the themes with a lot of white colors (e.g. in wallpaper image) may consume more power than the other themes.

cant connect my ext harddisk 500gb to the phone. Probably not enough power

hehe, here i will list down something that I might try to evaluated first... (if anyone have more time on hand now might try it first as well) 

1. GPS performance compare with the tube (since both using same gps chip, would like to check the N8 gps attenna performance)
2. The camera mod functionality, will capture some b4 and after mod photos/videos see got any "good" result or not.

but still, applying for the cert now for my beloved N8 ...

signing cert for the new N8 loh... if not how u gonna ...... ehhh what to call... "lompatpenjara"? "penjararuntuh"? or "hellbreak"? or "heavenfree"?? LOL... 

U dun care losing 12 months addition warranty?

I think so. You'll need acid or some special material to scratch anodised aluminium. I think they did it on purpose to badmouth N8. This proves the N* is a threat to crapple fans and fandroids. Desperate attempts i can say.

I'm seeing everybody enjoying their N8, but I cant get it as its still not available in Penang.

why cant get swype... nt available in my country

nokia rangers... coz theirs are free...

and the fella left out screwdrivers and nails to complete the test... //(^0^)// now... i wonder if any idunk4 owners would respond to tiz youtube?

Thanks nicholasbeh and BuFUng, very helpful indeed.

Hmm, I could with the "shortfall" like flash but AV output...I need the 3.5 jack out put since I use my N79 as GPS media output to my car stereo 7" monitor 

If N8 comes with just hdmi...wonder if there is any cable to convert to RCA, then? 

guys hope u guys understand chinese
