I have a Nokia N90, the battery life is about 2 or 3 days of normal use. This is horrible when i had my nokia 6620, the battery lives for 6 or 7 days, so i start to investigate and i download SpyTask (that app for see what is running under your nose) and i saw that the camera app was loaded, even when i never twist it (activate the camera).
The camera application is camMojave or something like that, and when i close it with SpyTask, the app camMojave close without any problem and when i activate the camera, the camera activate with no problems too.

So what is the reason for that application to be opened all the time? for eat battery?

Why this phone eat so much battery? i suposed that my battery had factory problems but i discard that problem buyin a new one.

Sorry my english

firstly the 6620 has a bigger battery which last much longer than the n90's battery, second of all you have to consider that the n90 is a much better phone than the 6620 so you shouldnt even compare them, think about it, the n90 has two screens which both have backlights as well as a 2mp camera which has a carl zeiss lens, as well as having stereo sound which the 6620 does not, and one more thing that i can think off the top of my head is the inside screen is a MUCH higher resolution than the 6620 which is why the n90's screen looks so sharp, all this contributes to the battery finishing faster, as well as it being a smaller battery.
