N95 charging quirk means it's back to SE |

Much has been written about the battery life of the N95 - it's true that it does not compare with a k800 fo instance but I have been able to get 17 hours out of it with 3G turned off and have no problem charging it every night.
BUT....
What I can't live with is the annoying beep the the phone gives off when it reaches full charge - Even when the phone is switched off!
When I travel I always use my phone as my alarm (one less thing to pack etc) but as well as my morning call I get woken up one or two hours after I turn in by this *$£@* pointless beep.
Ihave searched menues and there seems to be no way to turn it off so although I can live with the phones other drawbacks to have the big screen, GPS, good storeage, camera etc but it's back to my SE unless next firmware release kills the bleep. |

from what i know, its just a little beep, i dont know how the heck do you get awaken by this and i am baffled that you're going back to SE after N95 because of this minute issue. Guess you just bought N95 for show-off and nothing else. |

Turn your phone on silent you will never hear that beep but you will hear the alarm so no worries there. |

You must be joking! Surely all the other things about this awesome phone outweigh this little niggle? Everyone to their own, I suppose.

Guess I'm a light sleeper - don't see why that makes me a show off QVGA.
Thanks themarques for a more usefull reply - I had not tried phone on silent as it's usually off overnight. If that kills the charging beep it's worth a press on the hash key before I shut down. I'll give it a go, cheers. |

doug - the phone was free and as I much as I like features I prefer my sleep. I'm a bit suprised no one else bothered by the beep and even if that is the case, I was not expecting such hostile replies to a well intended post. |

well each to their own i guess.... little things like these can annoy the best of us.... pete is just one of these people, give him a break. It obviously interrupts his sleeping pattern and for some people that can be very very annoying, i know it is for me..... and even if he is changing phones, why do you people care 
@pete
tis a shame you cant keep it, n95 is a good phone from the 2 ive used, but very average build.....

@peter_freeman
Sorry you had to be referred to as having having more money than sense and a show off for asking a perfectly valid question.
I hope you had your problem solved anyway mate.

no, what i said made sense. if i can go back to SE after using N95, it means i dont really need the features of N95. |

Thanks for your recent posts guys
@brnoblade - Excellent answer. My problem is solved - exactly the sort of help I was after. Thank you.
(I'm a bit embarrased - I didn not think to turn warnings off myself. I thought I had explored the phone pretty well but did not register this menu option) |

OT: QVGA, I disagree; I'm going back to SE, and my N95's going up for sale(once Nokia service have actually repaired it under warranty).....notbecause I'm a show-off, or because I don't need it's features........but because, after listening to everyone on Esato about how amazingly great N95 was and shelling out over £300 for one(and bearing in mind they're supposed to be a £550 flagship product), I've seen better build quality in a Maxon......and that's simply inexcusable to me.....
Peter, I hope you found a way round the beep!
