alright. is there any mods that i need to do to improve its performance? i prefer light mods like killme. do they have that for symbian^3?

no need as well... the S^3 resource management are far more solid then the old s60v5...

just use it in the way it is? no wonder lahh. yesterday i tried install this NETQIN Antivirus. then my phone jam was so scared. luckily after a while its okay already.

I got my N8 back in mid march 2011 and now, just sending 10 sms and making 2 5 mins call through a GSM connection is enough to completely drain the battery in 2 days while on standby most of the time,

I dont even use bluetooth, 3g connection, play music, use Maps, surf net, use wifi or any battery draining things. My touch screen vibration is almost non-existent also. Did i just get screwed big time by the seller?

the battery draining issue are extreme rely on the usage... if u REALLY want to investigate the issue the turn your phone into OFFLINE profile and charge till it full then left it idle... u should get approx near the claimed 300-400 hours... u can check the FP regarding the power consumtion on the screen brightness itself...

Chan2, dont you think he should use your MODS. Killer mods
I think we all here using it.

Wow i must say battery monitor 2.0 is super neat.

for my own now i'm letting the phone in 3g mode with below apps/widget running in the background and I can tell u the N8 batt near to depleted by end of the day (~30% left)

1. Accu weatther
2. Nokia Reader
3. PocketLock
4. Nokia bubbles
5. Nokia Social
5. Email widget
6. Nokia Battery Monitor
7. Nokia wellness diary
8. Wifi & BT enable
9. Ergo's meminfo

3 full pages of HS

From 8am-7pm, most of the time just idling (sometimes no call/sms at all) and by 7pm the batt will left ~30%

btw please uninstall the previous v1.3 as this v2.0 totally a different apps in the apps list and if u not removed the v1.3 then it will stay in the phone (as the v2.0 won't overwrite it) and won't functioning if u choose the v1.3 widget...

i like the battery monitor 2.0 too, last time install 1.3, only one week used uninstall ady

Why do I see WP7 physical keys virtualised into Symbian? O.o

ARM11 so makan battery meh? I heard N-Fag said Nokia remain ARM11 for better battery life wor..

the most power hungry would be 3g mode... if choose gsm mode then mostly will left ~50% by end of day, so 20%=240mAH in 11 hours so would translate ~22mAH more power usage between 3g vs gsm...

for me the battery life is Ok only....when got long voice call, its can flat in 5-6 hour

I have zero widgets online:( I'm just using it as a very pretty call and sms phone:( oh well see what the care centre does. Really disappointing for a newly bought phone

if u suspected the battery failure then just send back to NCC...

release tension? the more i see this the more i feel like:


sorry i know is OT

The new battery monitor is really nice but it hogs too much RAM for my liking.

check out n8 pink advertisement which is tied with Sugababes - Freedom
