Yeah. Can't be helped
You can think 5310 as a phone + music player, with an additional function as a camera

okay i want to ask something.. what is the current version of this phone's firmware? i wanna know as my friend didnt even know that he can update his phone.

IIRC, the last time i try to update mine few days back, it was version 09.42
but i didn't finish the update coz my internet connection was so slow at that time. it took so long, so i just canceled it
Now i'm still using version 07.01

oh so now it's on 09.42. btw, do u know what product code u have? apac or euro? is euro can disable the shutter sound when taking pics.

on s40 it doesn't matter bro don't spam

You can disable the shutter sound no matter what product code you're having..
Access settings when u're on your cam mode and disable it

oh i dont know this.. unlike somebody who thought i knew everything.. sheesh

sorry iJoel. i thought need to change it to an euro code first. so this seems to only apply to E, N, and Xm series phones..forgot already as it's been quite some time since i last used an s40 platform phone

@ alpha_company

Sounds like you frequently use your 5310 camera

i got a 5610xm before... some time ago.. then i decided to get a better n-series phone at that time so i changed to an N series not long after.

what is s40?

Series 40 (software platform)
You can read more about it here

tis phone's battery life is surprisingly good...

full charge can last 5-6 days.... (frequent call, sms, sometimes mp3)

yeah.. s40 doesnt suck up a lot of power compared to s60. for people who wants a phone mainly for sms and/or calls s40 phones are the right choice for you.

make it so general? all s40 phones consume less power? sure bout that?

coz my friend using 6288 (s40 as well), battery life is not as good as 5310...

My sister's 5200 with an S40, the batt will be dead if left more than a day in the real world.

Does using higher capacity memory card effect the phone's battery life? Is there's even such things?

technically no

but if u look at it this way a higher capacity card means u keep more stuff meanin u play more music, video have more games that will drain down the battery

Yeah i do make it general. General means most of S40 phones are better in battery life. (except if the phone and/or it's battery is faulty itself)

S40 doesnt suck up a lot of power compared to S60 but if the phone itself have a low capacity battery then it comes down to that. Battery capacity.

You also need to keep in mind that S40 have different versions that isnt that much different from one another (visually) but has better/lower power consumption in later versions (only on newer s40 phones). If compared with S60v3 fp2, i would dare say that s40 has the upper hand in low battery consuption.

Nokia 5310 uses S40 5th Edition and 6288 is a much older phone laa (it uses a much older s40 version) plus a lot of 6288 has problems concerning battery life and stability. So if you want to compare batt life with 5310 is i suggest you do so with a much newer phone with newer S40 version.

why my phone's battery can only lasts for 48 hours (2 days)??

that's the maximum life i've tried, with very minimum sms and calls, no mp3 playing.

update your firmware 1st then see if there is any difference. can lower the brightness of the screen too right?
