Nokia N95 Battery Leaves A Lot To Be Desired
Everton | Jun 13, 2007 | Comments 7
I had my first big day lined up for my Nokia N95 yesterday. I had a full day out the office and I assumed the Nokia N95 battery would last the whole day, but it died at around 4pm which was very disappointing.
Here’s what I managed to do on a full charge:
- 80 mins usage with the web browser
- 10 mins using gmail java client
- 90 mins doing calls
- listened to 5 voicemails
Not a lot of usage at all (I made sure my Nokia N95 was fully charged before I set out). I’m now starting to understand all the bad press the Nokia N95 battery has had. I think what really killed my Nokia N95 battery was the sustained web use, and also because I was on a train so I’m assuming the phone had to expend more energy maintaining the signal.
I’ve learnt my lesson now as I had a few more calls I needed to make yesterday. So, if I’m out of the office again I’ll remember to take my Nokia N95 charger with me, as despite the poor battery life, I wouldn’t change my Nokia N95 for any other phone.

I think browsing from mobile drains the battery fast..
I have experienced it many times while using GPRS, on nokia and other phones also.
Mobile devices eat resources when used for long time media listening&viewing.
It is anoying to have unrelible battery. personaly I do not use my cellphone that much, but stil you want your bettery to work. thanks for sharing this drtailed information.
Doh, that’s not the best, but like you say, if it’s a great phone it’s somewhat forgiveable and worth being organised and taking your charger, not such a big thing these days when a lot of trains have power sockets provided too.
How about carrying a second battery and using a desk top charger which charges both the phone and the second battery at the same time?

I have got back into the habit of charging the battery at every opportunity, rather than waiting for it to be near to death or when I get home.
charging and discharging your phone fully 4-5 times gets the cobwebs out of your battery then turn off the “3G” and go to the gsm network instead of duel and it wont be expending a huge amount of power scanning for networks all the time.
