g2000 · 09-19-2000, 11:30

hi my 3210 battery never last 10 days as far as i know. the shop who sold me the battery told me to charge it for 15 hours the first time. i did that and the phone only last about 5 days. now i have been using it for a month and yet it only last 4-5 days. at all time my phone has 100% reception. my 5110 on the same sim card last 8 days. also i tried it on my friend second hand 3210 phone which is about 6 months old and only last 4 days. i only charge my phone when the battery completely drained *shut down automatically* so it should be in perfect state. can anyone tell me if i am charging my battery wrongly or is 3210 really last this short??? pls help!!!

thats normal. mine only lasts for 2-3 days depending on my usage.

but it will never last for 10days, unless you dodn't open it for 24hrs.

max is 5days...you're lucky to have it for 5days. actually count is 4days only max

So does this means that nokia 3210 can't last 260 hours as it stated in NOKIA website?? but how come the 5110 last as it stated?? I am so mad now as this is cheating!!! Can anyone else confirm this that 3210 only lasts for 5 days MAX!! Also may i ask MDK how many 3210 have you tested?? thanks!!

The times that Nokia (and every other company) gives are laboratory mesured. That means under perfect network conidtions - something that you don't get in real life. Mind that even if your mobile shows full signal ,it isn't nessecery to have real full signal. If you think for a sec the temperature, humidity and other stuff you'll see that the phone will never achive the company's times.

Another think 5110 had a 900mAh (and for a long time NiMH) battery....

You must be a happy man to achive 60% to 70% of the company's mesurements.

I think you will find that if you activate half rate EFR and stop your sim clock you will find the battery will last nearer the 260 hours, this time is for standby which means you must not dial out or let it ring during this time

g2000 · 09-22-2000, 11:05

reply to Nitas... my 5110 was using the same sim card as my 3210 for i swap it over to my 3210. Also 3210 battery capacity is 1250 mAh so should last longer then 5110 battery but NOT TRUE.

Reply to PatUK... i have already activated the half EFR but still only 5 days max. regarding sim clock i never tried that before. however for my 5110 i never done any tweaking at all and i got about 10days on standby. of course i did not fiddle around with it at all.

From what I know, 3210 is provided with a battery of 600-650 mAh.I assume that the battery you are using is not original... and propably doesn't have the capacity that it's written on it. ( I hate when some companies do that).

Now, in case your battery is a new original then I can't tell what's wrong. I've seen 3210 with a stantard original battery which had 6 days stand-by time !!!!

to NITAS..... as far as i know my battery should be original. however it didn't write down the capacity which is same as other 3210 that my friends got. i got the capacity from the nokia website and it says 1250mAh and the model number is the same so i assumed it's the same. I bought my phone from a big company in UK called "the link". so i belief it should be original. this is confusing.... if there is anyone reading this and has seen a 3210 that last 260 hours on standby could you voice up please!! perhaps you can help me!! thanks!!

Pat UK · 09-23-2000, 00:08

I will put one on test tonite and see how logs it lasts.

Rossend · 09-23-2000, 08:53

g2000! You must have Full charged batery and place nearest to BS (aprox 50 meters). Then you will get 260h in full stand by mode.

g2000 · 09-26-2000, 14:28

to rossend... okay if that's what you suggest then i have nothing to say. BUT!! how do you explain my old 5110 managed to achieved 10 days on stanby and it is the same sim card that i used for my nokia 3210??? nokia 3210 capacity is higher than 5110 and i test my phone in the same room and for a few cycles already???

g2000 · 09-26-2000, 14:32

to pat UK....how's is your 3210 test doing??? i hoped it will last 10 days. for your information i got full 4 bars reception and i didn't fiddle around with the phone while on standby testing and it's vodafone network in UK.
