SPV Battery life (since upgrade to 1.6)

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

:lol: my SPV battery life since the 1.6 upgrade has gone from 2-3 days (with 256Mb SD card) to 24 hours with no card whatsoever!! Has anyone else experienced this problem?

What are the magic tips I need to do to get my old battery life back??

Thanks,

Spiff

Yes - exactly the same happened to me three days ago. I posted on help and advice forum and one suggestion was to downgrade to 1.5 from the Swiss Orange site. I downloaded last night but didn't install. However last night I also switched the phone off, waited 30 secs and rebooted. I charged all night and today have had 4 bars all day -with an SD card in. Go figure.

As I said the 1.6 update gives irratic battery life :?

As for having the SD card in the phone, this does not affect the battery life on the E100. SD and Bettery life is a problem with the E200.

After upgrading, I installed the LCD plug-in & digital dashboard. For the next few days battery life was about 12 hours. I removed the above and the battery life rose to aprox. 36 hours. Before upgrading I used to get 2 to 3 days. Has anyone else noticed this with the plug-in?

My battery life has improved since the update as well as programs like PocketMusic performing better :)

I have never had 2-3 days ever, but since the update it has gone from about 18hours to 30hours standby.

Working from home latley I can 4hours constant talk time :D

have just bought a [solar] smartcharger 150 from maplins. it charges 5 aa size rechargeables (tho its a 15hr charge in good light) & has a lead with a nokia plug on it (spv adaptor fits the nokia plug). when folded its about the size of a spectacles case.

you then recharge the phone from the unit. i reckon this might come in handy on train journeys & the like.

When I upgraded my battery time went down , but following advice off here I got it back up to about 2 - 3 days between charges (on standby most of the time) by adjusting the homepage to Full Layout and time out to Never. Made loads of difference.

i really dislike the 1.6 upgrade - lesser battery life for me, my fone always used to crash, it was slow as f00k, the list goes on :)
