N70

Pataman

Just got a nokia n70 from a mate. The battery is only lasting one day. I dont know how long he had it, it may have developed a memory effect. How long does your battery last.
Also while I am at it is anyone having bluetooth issues with the phone. I upgraded it to the latest edition and also the phone kit (parrot ck3100). It wont connect and when it does I cant access the phonebook through the car kit.

By the way I love the phone and want to use it but must resolve the above issues first.

Thanks
Pat

go into main menu and then to

Tools->Settings->Network->Network Mode

then change it from "Dual Mode" to "GSM"

should improve battery life alot

The N70 won't transfer it's phonebook to the CK3100 without installing this application:

To me it makes no difference whatsoever. I think the whole "3G consumes more power than GSM" is an urban myth.

It could be a firmware problem. My brother had the exact same issue with his 6630 but used the Nokia updater to upgrade the firmware. Now he gets 90 hours out of it. He previously only got 18 hours out of it.

But it could be the battery, hard to tell if you don't know the phone's history.

not a myth im afraid its been proven.I actually read the 3G uses more power on the nokia discussion forum as i had the same problem

3G does drain the battery more, did you check what firmware you have?
