Hi guys
Fully charge n82 on Friday 1607hrs (9/5/08)
Now Wed battery warning is running low
Only use it to call one number only (39seconds)
Bluetooth was disabled, didnt use camera or radio or sms
According to the manual standby should be 210hrs (8.75days)
Is this normal? battery last for 4days only? Less than 50%
Disable wlan scanning the manual says will save battery consumption.
How to do that?
Thanks
210 hrs are under laboratory testing, i.e. controlled environment. Different telco provider, on different frequency (GSM900/1800/WCDMA/etc), different location with different signal strength, etc. will drain more battery juice.
To get 210 hrs,
(1) fully charge the battery.
(2) take out your SIM card or set the phone to Offline.
(3) switch on and let it at your desk until it runs out of battery. Also ensure the environment is at 20-25C with minimum humidity.
I tested with my previous N80, with SIM card and minimum usage as you stated above, last 3-4 days only. Without SIM card/Offline, it last me 7-9 days.
Recommendation:
(1) Disable wireless - Set wireless scanning = off
(2) Use GSM on default. If you need to browse/video call, then only set to 3G(UMTS) mode.
(3) Disable as much apps running in the background (press and hold Menu). Also uninstall those screensaver, etc.
BTW, for those who experience short battery life, do you mind to state whether your set is original/AP and also you
think your battery is original/AP.
