E71 battery life

Hi E71 owners out there...

How's the battery life of your E71?

Mine is not as expected... stated in gsmarena 10 hours talk time but for my E71 it only survive 4 days with low-to-medium utilization (call, sms, bluetooth)
Maybe to be exact 3.5 days, cause on the 4th day it really run flat on battery by afternoon...

For the first time I had the phone, the battery only survive for 2 days.. maybe because I was configuring it and trying out all the features...

My E61i can survive 4 days full (not up to flat/empty)... I was hoping E71 could do more than that 😞

Or did I just get a bad battery? defect?

Just to add...

The network setting is only set to GSM, not Dual Mode
WiFi scanning off
Screen brightness medium (default)

Youre kidding right? What other phone beats that?

If we are just comparing battery life... My previous E61i beats it, it can survive full 4 days...

Up until now, my E71 can only last 3.5 days... but I guess this is due to the faster processor speed that will consume more power?

Anyways... I'm still okay with 3.5 days considering that more speed you get when operating E71...

I generally find 3 days is the max, but depends on what I'm doing. The E71 has more functionality in it so I tend to use it more than I did the E61. However coming from the Nseries the extra battery life is very welcome.

Hi!

In my case battery life is even worse 😞

I use the screen in full brightness,
I listen to the radio for 1 hour per day,
And I use wifi for sip calls through fring for about 45 mins per day

All this gives me two full days, I dont switch it off during the night so
at the end of the second day it only has 3 bars left so I have to charge
it again.

Now I'm testing again with the breathing light on, coz I used to have
as a screensaver the clock/date and the screen did not swich off
completely.

I'll see if this helps and post again!
