Hi. my E51 is about 1 year old and has suddendly started eating up battery ...a fully charged battery is barely lasting 6 hours if I have it on silent with no vibrate, the light settings at the lowest possible and only use it for SMS. I have tried restoring the factory settings, changing the battery, updating the software but still have this problem. Can anyone help? I really like this phone but i can go on carrying my charger everywhere and pluging it in whenever there is a socket in sight just to keep it going.

do you have bluetooth on all the time?

[purrcatso]

Bluetooth is off, Wlan is off...

you could possibly need a new battery you could take it to a nokia care point and get the issue investigated properly

When all of my batteries have reached the end of their life they suddenly just "go". I always buy a spare battery with my new phone and alternate the two, and always carry the spare as back up. Got exactly the same problem now with both batteries but not bothered as getting a new phone on Tuesday!

the problem could be as simple as dirty poles. mine was doing the same thing some months back. i just cleaned the poles with rubbing alcohol and problem was solved. haven't encountered that problem again.

facing similar issues. clean what poles? where? how?

[jimmyireland]

the connections in your phone that meet the battery

i wonder how that ever gets dirty. i've almost never removed the battery. nah, never.

i have 3 nokia phones now. after 1-2 years, the battery goes from full bar, to 1-2 bars then dies. earlier i was charging, it was at 2 bars when i detached it from charging. plugged it back in and it was fully charged.

what gives?
