Well back in 2005 I won a 16 MB Memory Stick Pro duo from an Esato playtime. Leks (who used to be called Leksandfan) donated it I believe. Back then 16 MB was pretty good for a Memory Stick!

I’m back again with the same battery problem...
My phone is now 15days old. Transitions is turned off, I use only GSM network, don't even use the stand-by application I thought it uses battery, don’t use the media player or camera too much, I just use the phone much like a normal phone. I charge the phone only when the battery is completely empty and don’t unplug it till it’s full. Battery still doesn’t last more than 3 days and doesn’t seem to last longer as I charge it like some of you guys suggested. I think something is eating up my battery, because at night the battery goes down by 6-7%/12hours without any phone usage. Maybe somebody is experiencing my problem and can suggest a solution.
Thanks.

3 days sounds fine to be honest mate, and 6-7% drain over 12 hours sounds alright too...
how much phone call use do you have?
Also, how long are you expecting to get out of a single charge? |

Anyone manage to get Dial up networking to work on the G900?
I tried installing the SW on the CD, and access the mobile networking wizard but no luck.
I tried selecting Dial-up networking from the Bluetooth icon at the bottom of my computer screen, and no luck.
Both the above working fine in K800i/K850i.
Any ideas?

Got it working, had to change the modem I was connecting to.
Could get any data accounts in the Mobile networking wizard to activate.

Do you have Bluetooth and WiFi off?
Your consumption sounds maybe a little more than normal but not bad compared to mine (I've had for a week now) |

well I was expecting at least 1 week or maybe 5 days (since the phone has 12hours talk time in his specifications), I use the phone as I use my old Samsung E590 for calls and 2-3pictures, and that phone was able to last 4days (and Samsung have crapy battery's).
and no, I don’t have wifi or Bluetooth turned on.

Bit confused by this. The nokia 6230 is not a 3g capable phone so there is no way you can be connecting via 3g. Maybe when the sim is in the nokia you can get a standard 2g connection but no way will it be 3g.
Sounds like you might not have 3g coverage in your area, o2 does have the worst 3g coverage of all networks just so you know

Sorry its a 6233. Not to clued up on Nokia phones.
The Flight mode idea is good if you still need to use the alarm but dont want the phone switched on.
Had to do a master reset today beacuse the phone wouldnt sync with Outlook. Called SE technical and the girl was absolutely useless! She tried to blame it on a firewall.I just hope noone has to call them with a problem. Tried everything to resolve it but in the end had to resort to a master reset. |

Mine lasts 2 days. I do some 10-20 min total call time, listen to mp3s for about 2 hours a day (constantly changing the song, so backlight gets turn on often), use wifi to go online and leave it turned on for 2-3 hours every day.
And I guess that's how it's supposed to be. It's a smartphone. At any given time there's at least one app running (the background one). Keep in mind that whenever you open an app or go to wifi/media/config/etc menu, the application keeps running until you close it on the task manager.
If it is running, it means it is on the memory. If it's on the memory, the processor needs to "refresh" it all the time, so thats some battery being drained right there.

That's no match. The E590 is not a smartphone and has a tiny display (1.8 inches), and the display size & quality is a main factor in draining the battery. I think 3 days is really good, even 2 days is fine by me. |
