Hey guys,

I updated my generic N70 to V 5.0616.0.3 a couple of days ago and one thing I noticed is that my battery life has decreased dramatically.

It used to last me some three days with 3G and bluetooth switched off, but now after half a day it shows only half a battery left and just dies after a day and a half max.

Anyone else have this experience? Maybe I'm overlooking some process in the background that I can stop? Is there a way to see what processes are actually running, like a Windows Task Manager type overview?

Other changes I noticed: The startup animation is now silent at booting up if you shut down in a silent profile too. I got a couple new languages, I now have Dutch, English, French, German, Italian and Turkish. The icon for the music player has changed. Can't really say it's faster or slower now I've updated the phone.

Strange... I also have an N70 with last software, and didn´t notest any negative impact.
To see backgroun processes, it´s possible with FExplorer or Taskman.

The battery problem usually happens if your battery is not 100% full when flashing the new software onto your phone. Not really sure the way round it, might be best to contact Nokia via:

I fully charged my phone today, had bluetooth on for about half an hour, checked maybe two websites and am missing two bars already. :icon13:

I'll flash the phone again when I'm sure it's fully charged when I have the time, since the guys at Nokia here in South Africa are clueless and I'd almost say I know more about phones than they do.

Update: flashed phone again, with battery fully charged. Now missing one bar after almost two days. Nice.

the start up tone is/was always muted when you shut down your phone in silent mode. It was the same with my 6600 aswell

Same here - having to recharge my phone every day since updating. Not used it today apart from a couple of texts and a 2 minute phonecall and down to 2 bars. I have also noticed that it doesn't take much more than a half hour charge before the battery is full. Will charge it fully now and reinstall the update to see if that makes any difference.
