Sweeeeeeeeet deal i said to myself. Usually i never post a review but the last 2 days forced me to put my thoughts and raves about this phone as my own personal review.May be my words help someone with their own Phone purchase decision or issues with N97 Mini. Here we are :
Now hands on :- HOW TO SOLVE NOKIA N97MINI BATTERY DRAIN PROBLEM IS MENTIONED BELOW ,
- Day one battery was already charged in the sealed package that i opened. Very happy as manufacturing date is only 1 month before date of purchase. Played ( internet used for 1 hours , plus many other things were tinkered like setting up IMAP Email as new phone in my hands) around 3 hours with that battery charge after opening the box.
- Charged it all night and next day the battery lasted me from morning 10 am to 6 pm with internet on updating the widgets during the day . (apparently this uses battery too much)
- I let the battery drain empty full until the phone closed down on its own.
- Charged the battery and next day being sunday i started playing the phone to its full use from 6 am onwards upto 11:30 am being on internet all the time in the background, listened to music, downloaded random stuff ( a strict no no for all of you reading me) and maps set up with GPS.
- Battery drained to a low, read all about battery drain issue of N97mini , so i took the "charger problem " seriously and was considering doing a "hard reset". Yes i did do a couple of soft resets but that was in vain.
- Apparently there is a fix to this battery issue which i tried, Steps
Shut off the phone
Insert charger into phone, whenever the white light screen comes up remove charger.
Let the phone light go off, and switch the power on button.
Now the phone powers on and then charge the phone. ( i charged it for 2 hours approx
Right now at time of this post, it is approximately 6 hours since the phone has been constantly on, 2 hours on internet on, checked emails, used maps for 15 -20 minutes, played game, surfed random internet and tinkering on. It shows battery charge with 3 bars at time of this post.
I am usually not into posting such issues , but since someone's advice seems to be working for me, i conciously put this post to help someone somewhere resolve their favourite new Nokia N97 Mini battery draining out too fast issue
Updates :- 1 )The very next day of posting the above, the battery lasted for one full night ( i had a program running in background showing a large digital clock, big fonts filling up the screen and alarm. Next day used moderately upto 5:00 pm . It showed one last bar and was charged again. The next night i plan not to run this program and see how much longer it lasts.
2) he next day afterwards, i did not run this clock program at night, and the next day i used the phone with satellite navigation plus the normal daily use, the battery lasted longer
PLEASE CHECK IF YOU HAVE ANY PROGRAMS RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND, THIS CONSUMES A LOT OF BATTERY EVEN IF RUNNING SILENTLY WITHOUT LIGHT ON SCREEN
