(As expected). In the mean time I downloaded some tools. Of which the free Nokia Energy Profiler is the one that I recommend highly. This tool shows (amongst others) energy usage, expected remaining battery life, CPU usage etc,. Thr tool showed me that effectively my phone had about permanentCPU usage of 95% and a permanent energy usage of about 0.55 Watt. The latter is equivalent of about half the power of a phone call, or wifi connection. As a result the tool predicted a battery life of about 12 hrs max. Which was in line with my actual experience. I was not able to find out which app was actually causing the full CPU usage. As a last resort I decided to update the firmware (from 300.21.012 to 500.21.09). I immediately installed energy profiler again.The first 20 minutes are promissing. Average CPU usage now of 9% and an average CPU usage of 0.19 watt. Which results in an expected battery life of about 34 hrs. Compared to the disastrous 12 hrs max this is substantially better and allows me to have the phone with me around the clock and without the need to recharge during the day. Hi,

Allow me 1 to 2 weeks to arrange logistics, execute and feedback findings. I do not use gravity. But I have 2 other annoyances that may be a symptom of extra battery usage. A When I switch on the phone I get 2 messages (my translation from Dutch to English. So not the "official" nokia message.) 1 Busy with installation. 2 Can't complete installation from memory card. Go to application management to complete remainder of installation. When I go to app management I see that all apps are labeled as Installed. No indication that some app is not installed. So my thought is that the installation process is still running in the background. B Navigation. There is no way that I am able to show my current position. In Navigation mode I ahve a header message saying Waiting for GPS. So may thoughtisthat some process is running and interferes in some way. Hi Jakob,

Send me a message on twitter account 'thusgaard'. I know a few people I can ask. As an experiment could you swap batteries with a different E71/E72 user? Do you by any chance have the twitter app Gravity running? Regards, Jakob Hi Bart,

Thank you for your comment.

Send me a message on twitter account ‘thusgaard’. I know a few people I can ask. As an experiment could you swap batteries with a different E71/E72 user?

I thought it was the battery and bought a new one. But still it runs for 12 hrs max. So I suspect that there is something running that is using energy. I am pretty sure that I have disabled everything obvious. Is there any tool that I can use to to analyse what is running ?
