Quesion on psi NT screen saver

6 replies · 2,043 views · Started 25 October 2002

before i installed the program (screen saver) my battery life is more longer and take me up to 1 1/2 - 2 days... then after i installed it, i observe or notice that my batt life get lesser and only took me less than a day. i use animated gif on it.

does the screen saver eat your battery life???

and how many days do the demo (time limit) expires???

so the screen saver software does drain the power???

does anyone have the same experience???

That is true,
The 7650 is very very poor on battery usage.
So that is why Nokia make the back lite off frequently & the default scrren saver seem to turn off the LCD (only a single line will be use by the default screen saver) to save the power consumption on the LCD.

If you let other application runnning on the time , then please charge your phone frequently or always carry your battery charger around 😃

But , anyway,
The Psiloc screensaver is still a nice goody to decorate the 7650.
If you like it then bear it. 8)

i think the trial is good for 21 days, but i think ive been using mine longer than that. and yes, your sceensaver will eat up more memory especially if you use the animation. but what i suggest you can do is turn on the sleep mode (probably 1hr) and it will automatically go back to the default screensaver, this will help you save on some battery - i think, at least this is what i do.
