Following few tips how to get more of your E72′s battery when needed (Not for a normal daily usage) :

  • Activate the power saving – The E72′s automatically activates the “power saving mode” when battery low. If you would like to activate it earlier, press shortly the power button and select “Activate the power saving”.
  • Change to GSM network – Most providers has  two networks: GSM and UMTS. UMTS network supports faster data connection but also requires more battery power.  Change the network to GSM to save battery  power,  Menu -> Ctrl. Panel->settings->Phone->Network-> Network Mode-> GSM.
  • Turn off Bluetooth - Long press on the “Sym” button to turn off the Bluetooth (If it’s ON).
  • Turn off WiFI connection and automatic scan – Menu -> Ctrl. Panel-> Settings->Connection-> Wireless LAN->Show WLAN availability -> Never.
  • Close all other applications – Each running application consumes power, close all unnecessary applications.

Additional tips are welcomed.

The E72 provides very little information about the battery status. I use the iON BatteryTimer to have proper display of the battery status.

The application needs to run several days in order to provide proper information about the battery status.

The application support 3 ways to display battery status:

  • Using the main application
  • Plug-in – Display battery status on the Standby screen. To enable this option. Main application-> Options->Standby plug-in->On.
  • Power saver. Nice display of the battery status as a screen saver.  To enable this option – Ctrl. panel-> Settings-> General-> Personalize-> Themes-> Power saver-> Select iON Power saver.

When opening the main application following information displayed:

  • Operating time remaining to complete discharge
  • Estimated future date&time of the battery being  completely discharged
  • How long the battery holds its charge on average
  • Number of full and partial charge/discharge cycles recorded by the application.
  • Accuracy

The application can be downloaded from here. It can also be purchased there for only $3.95 instead of $6.95 until February 28th. (Please check the price before purchase, I can’t guarantee the price)
