I think I found the problem. There seems to be a problem with the WiFI wizard. If you scan for wifi from the home screen or using the wlan wizard and then start using the wifi connection. After you stop the scanning, there continues to be an energy spike (about 1W) every 30 secs or so as can be seen by nokia energy profiler.

This does not happen if you don't use the wlan wizard for connection. (ie you use the defined access points directly)

I already have the latest firmware version.

How do you switch off the WLAN?
I noticed that even after I have set WLAN scanning to OFF, the WLAN icon still appears below the battery icon (top RH)

Does it mean that the WLAN is still switch ON?

Yes, the icon means your phone is still connected with WLAN.

Then how can i switch the WLAN off when i am not using.
Need to conserve battery. I find that the E66 battery sucks

you need to properly close all apps that use the wlan connection before that icon disappears

RM40 one month and if paying more than 1 year fee is cheaper.

Go to Menu>Tools>Connect>Connection Manager>Active data connections and close all active connections, done.

Went into Menu>Connectivity>Conn. mgr.>Active data connections >>>> It shows (no active connections)

However, the WLAN icon still appear..

Further investigation show that it's the homescreen wlan app that is causing the energy spike. I disabled it and will monitor if my battery draining problem is cured.

No one knows the solution?
The applications that enable secondary 3G camera or torchlight function?

For torch light you can use the both you mentioned, is either sis or java apps it will work fine...

For front 3G camera to take photo for the moment there is no 3rd party software...

Yes.
Show WLAN availibility: >> is set to YES.

Scan for networks: >> Every 10 minutes [ cannot set this to OFF!!!]

You need to set it Off like this :

I see. So the WLAN icon is to show the availability of WLAN and NOT that WLAN is running.

Does it now mean that once I have set WLAN scanning to OFF, then WLAN will not be running until I set them to run again?

Thanks

i just bought a used E66 yesterday.
where can i download the latest firmware and how do i update my phone?
thank you.

use nokia software updater

Thanks for the update.
Running on previous version sucks up the battery life.
Do we just install it over the previous version?
Will the previously saved data like locations, poi, etc be over written?

Cheers

you can install it over your previous installation, they will prompt you on that
about previously saved data I'm not too sure

No, if you phone is connected to WLAN, you have to off it manually by closing any active connection in WLAN Wizzard option. WLAN scanning is a feature to search/scan for any active WLAN hot spot then allowed to connect them.

You guys got read the manual book or not .
