Just some sharing,
I tried to do some experiment on the battery life. here is my result:
With Garmin Mobile XT installed
- I use for SMS(10-15 sms) and calls(for 10minutes only).
- Keep my phone silent for the whole day during working.
- Full battery at 8am.charge until full bar
Result: Battery level drop to half at 12.00pm, and totally flat when i reach home at 6.30pm
Without Garmin Mobile XT installed
- I use for SMS(30-35 sms) and calls (for 15minutes).
- Not keep my phone silent for the whole day.
- Full battery at 8am.charge until full bar
Result: Batter still full bar at 12.00pm, full bar after office hour at 6.30pm, and still full bar now at 10.35pm
Conclusion: U need to delete Garmin v5.0020 due to poor battery life. and update your firmware by using Apollo software.my version is I8510XEHJ4 and is actually from Russia region. When you update to this firmware, u will not able to change the phone language to Malay and Chinese,but still u can use english. so u choose which one you prefer.
BTW, any recommendation for new GPS software. Mapking got ehem ehem version arrr?
Hi, just want to point you to a possible solution to the Garmin v5 causing battery longevity problems. It is widely known in the forums that Garmin v5 has additional services running in the background even though the program is not started. The service in question is CardRunner.dll which resides in the RAM. Its function is a location aware service. It attempts to give your contacts location awareness if they are also using Garmin v5. Deleting this file will solve your problem.
To further improve battery longevity, you will have to shut down a service every time Garmin v5 is closed after usage. I suggest you go to Nokia 5800 owner's thread 1st sticky page for more information. Here's a snip of the discussion:

The background program TSRAUTORUN.EXE runs EVERY time you restart your phone / Run Gramin XT --> Kills your battery life... Only version that are not effected by TSAUTORUN.exe are version 5.0 and below
Solution:
http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discus...sage.uid=417412But you STILL NEED TO KILL TSRAUTORUN.EXE with KillMe (provided above) or Best TaskMan EACH TIME YOU EXIT Gramin XT
