I have tried and read thousands of ideas about improving the battery life of the N95-1 but none seems to have effectively worked on mine. Also when i put it on charge it never says "Battery full" the bars just keep going up after a whole days charge.
Basically i have:
- Genuine new nokia battery
- Turned off WLAN,3 G, bluetooth, packet data etc
- I have 31.0.017 firmware installed
- Lowest screen brightness and power saver time
- No apps running in the background
After downloading and installing the Nokia Energy Profiler, it says with the slider open and backlight on 1.39w are being used and i will have around 2:57 battery life left. I am using the charger that came with it but i have also tried another Nokia charger which has the exact same result.
It is really annoying me so help will be greatly appreciated.
I wouldn't bother to much when disconnecting the Charger and it shows full bar , the battery is practical full .
If you bother you can do a Reset , read this thread : http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum//forum/thread/81021/
Don't forget to make a Backup !
I know of two Apps that show batterystatus : Nokia Device Status and PhoNetInfo .

I have done 2 hard resets (After backing up data) and no luck. Shouldn't the phone stop charging when it is full though?
Normally a Nokia Phone stops charging with the message "battery full" . My older 9500 keeps on charging , that's the bar keeps on moving , and no message "battery full" appears . When I disconnect , say after ~ 2-3 hours , it shows full bar and can normally use the phone .
Only after a reset it works properly again , but maybe one time only .
When the battery and charger don't get burning hot , the build in batterymanager does it's job , and I didn't get across no problem .
You mention to use a practical new (Nokia ?) battery . Within one year you will have warranty !

1) What is the exact model of the charger you are using (forget that it came with the phone)?
2) Have you tried a known working battery i.e. a battery that is known to work in another preferably identical model of phone?
3) Does the current trickle stop charging when you charge with the phone turned off?
A faulty battery will easily cause this problem - not turn off the trickle. I have a Sony PSP battery that causes this problem on only one PSP but works well on all others (and yet the "faulty" PSP works fine with every other known working PSP battery).
If the answer to question 3 is "yes" then just charge with the phone off and don't worry about it.

0.25w - 0.4w is the typical power drain on an N95, even with Bluetooth and WiFi enabled (but on standby).
Something isn't quite right on your handset with 4 - 6 times the normal wattage being used.
My personal recommendation would be to back everything up to your PC then format both internal memory and mass memory/microSD card.
You might then even want to perform the vulcan death grip (hard reset). After this is done, re-install ONLY Energy Profiler and let us know the power consumption.

I did a hard restart and installed Energy Profiler. Numbers are 1.49w and 2:22 battery time.

1) The charger is AC-5A and works perfectly well with my other phone.
2) No, i have one old one and a new one which both are doing the same thing. (Could be the problem?)
3) Nope, i left it on all night and it was still charging in the morning.
(Also thanks for your replies)
