There has been loads of complaints about the N97 battery. Our last post – Nokia N97 Battery – received a lot of comments and so i thought of doing a log of how many hours a fully recharged N97 battery can last. Here are the results.
From 100% to 0% – Total time: 2 days 5 hours [53 hours]
Usage:
Internet: 1 hour 10 mins
Calls: 105 mins
Message(text): 65
Pics with flash on: 10
Video capture: 4 mins
Music with headfone: 1 hour
Various mobile apps: 30 mins
Even though this is relatively lite usage, 2 days plus is very good. Will check how it does with heavy usage and add it here sometime soon. Should be a minimum of 24+ hours.
Some basic tips:
1. Close apps which are not required. makes your phone faster as well.
2. I know N97 has been promoted as an internet device, but staying online all the time drains your phone battery real fast. What can we do now? Dont stay connected online all the time. Avoid using PUSH for emails.
3. Auto dim your phone when in standby or use the side clicker.
Hope these helps. And folks please do share your comments on how you manage your n97 battery. How often do you recharge?
