Hello,
I'm using a N95 - 8GB (RM-320 - fIrmware 11.0.0.26).
I noticed the battery status level is always at 100% (for 12 hours now). I've been using bluetooth, umts and wifi during the past hours but no changes still 100% ....
I downloaded nokia's "device status" application but this shows 100% too.
This problem is very annoying as you do not know how long the battery will last.
1) Is this a known bug?
2) Is an application available that is able to show the real battery level?
Thank you very much!
Turn it off, then back on and see if it is still at 100%😉
yeah mines does that, 100% then the next thing ive got 1 bar and a low battery warning it seems to ignore everything in between im running V20 software

Hi!
No, this didn't help, still the same result!

The OP has an 8gb N95 not the N95-1 you have, even with V20 firmware.
I have the 8gb model and I check battery status on the main screen and the bars do reduce over time depending on the apps I've been running.
I dropped my daughter off in Leeds today and for fun used the GPS there and back and spent a couple of hours with her in Leeds. The phone stated with 6 bars and by the time I came home it was down to 4.
I also have Nokia device status and next time the bars drop I will check what it says.
BTW clive1 your issue is a known "bug" on the N95-1 although I thought the V20 update helped with battery life by using demand paging like the 8gb model.
Depends on the apps you have open I suppose.
:tongue:
yeah the battery life is alot better but the indicator is useless 😊
What capacity battery is it in the 8GB?

So your battery is full then!
I was laughing when I read this....
The N95 was battery down within 12 hours...
Your N95 8GB (and mine) stays always at 100%...
Why the complaints?
LOL

Yes, it was! :redface:
48 hours later, having bluetooth running for more than 14hours, it is now at 57% (taken from Nokia's "device status" app).
The battery status level is also shown correctly ... This is really nice, I thought battery life was much shorter. 😊😊😊

Yes, the battery life on the N95 8GB is astounding. Far, far better than the 25% extra capacity you'd expect from the battery specs. So they've obviously used some different components inside etc. And this is all with twice the RAM having to be powered, plus a bigger screen - very impressive.
Steve
On screen it now shows 4 bars and in device status it it is 71% so I suppose it works LOL!
Never had a problem really.
Anyway good night, god bless and may your god be with you and have a happy new year from me and if you are in Sammy Platts 2 morrow near Old Trafford I'll be the one showing off the the new phone LOL!!!
I occassionally have issues with my battery meter level on my 8GB N95. As mentioned, sometimes it reads full then suddenly gives the low battery warning. It's not too much of a problem, as it doesn't always do it, but still annoying! 😞
