Re: N95 battery

If yours is the N95 as opposed to the N95 8gig, they are known for being heavy on battery life. The battery should get a bit better after a few charges.

I have the 8gig model which has great battery life.

Re: N95 battery

My N95 started out with a rubbish battery but i've had it a good few months and the battery as certainly improved.

I get about 2 full days use out of it, that includes having it on msn pretty much all day so yeh just give it time i guess.

Unfortunately, I think it is a slightly different size.

BL5F for the N95
BL6F for the N95 8gb

MOD EDIT

A new battery would only cost a few pounds so it might be worth getting one.

Re: N95 battery

There are a few things you can do to improve the battery life on this phone, disabling the bluetooth and 3G are good prectises but also do the following.
1. On the standby screen click on the WIFI scaning text and turn scanning off (this will give the biggest improvement)
2. Tools-Settings-General-Personalisation-Display-Turn down the light sensor
3. Tools-Settings-General-Personalisation-DisplayTurn down the Power saver time out
4. Tools-Settings-General-Personalisation-DisplayTurn down the light time out
