HOW I CAN INCREASE LIFE OF MY NOKIA

Many apps in your device increase the demand on battery power and minimize the battery lifetime. To save battery energy, take the following steps:

1.  Charge the battery fully.
2. Activate power saving mode. Press the power key, and select Activate power saving.
3. Change the synchronization frequency for your mailbox. Select Menu > Applications > Mail (or Menu > Mail), your mailbox, and Options > Settings, and the relevant sync frequency settings.
4. Mute unnecessary tones, like key tones.
5. Use  headphones, rather than the loudspeaker.
6. Deactivate the background animation effects
7. Deactivate the Big clock screen saver. Select Menu > Settings and Themes > Screen saver > none.
8. Activate a dark theme.
9. Change the length of the time-out period after which the device display switches off. To adjust the light sensor that observes lighting conditions and adjusts the display brightness, in the display settings, select Light sensor.

a.       If the network mode is set to use both GSM and 3G (dual mode) networks, the device searches for the 3G network. To set your device to use only the GSM network.

10. Deactivate Bluetooth when not needed.
11. Stop your device from scanning for available WLANs in the background (Symbian Anna and earlier). Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > WLAN > Options > Settings > Show WLAN availability > Never.
12. When connecting to the internet, use a WLAN connection, rather than a packet data (GPRS or 3G) connection.
13. Set the packet data connection to be established only when needed.
14. Close the applications you are not using.

We are sure if you take these steps you will easily increase the life time of your battery.

How can I improve my battery life on my Nokia phone?

• Turn Bluetooth off when you do not need it.
• Specify that your Nokia phone does not scan, or scans less often, for available Wireless LAN (WLAN) networks in the background when you do not need WLAN connections (to turn off scanning, disable Show WLAN availability in Wireless LAN settings). 
• If you have set Packet data connection to When available in connection settings, and there is no packet data coverage (GPRS), your Nokia phone periodically tries to establish a packet data connection. To prolong the operating time of your Nokia phone, select Packet data connection > When needed.
• The Maps application downloads new map information when you scroll to new areas on the map, which increases the demand on battery power. Prevent the automatic download of new maps.
• If the signal strength of the cellular network varies much in your area, your Nokia phone must scan for the available network repeatedly. This increases the demand on battery power.  If the Network mode is set to dual mode in the network settings, the Nokia phone searches for the UMTS network. To use only the GSM network, select Network mode > GSM. 
• The back light of the display increases the demand on battery power. In the display settings, you can change the time-out after which the back light is switched off, and adjust the light sensor that observes lighting conditions and adjusts the display brightness.
• Leaving applications running in the background increases the demand on battery power. Close the applications you are not using.
• Turn off vibrate function of your Nokia phone, using just the ring tone.
• Avoid using moving or animated pictures or videos for your Nokia phone's background.
• Turn off your Nokia phone whenever you do not plan to answer any calls, for example while you are sleeping.
• Make sure your phone is running the latest software. For downloads and assistance, go to your local Nokia website's support page.

If the battery loses the power fast even though there is no features consuming the power, the battery may be wearing out and you need to replace it with a new one.
