Nokia N95 Battery Leaves A Lot To Be Desired

Everton | Jun 13, 2007 | View Comments


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.

    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.
  • 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.

    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?

  • 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.
