There really isn't any point at all too 3g unless you're going to do
some serious net browsing or streaming.

Whilst I agree with Steve that it might slow down e-mail retrieval, it
will not be by a huge amount given it's only text, if you are thinking
about the internet sure it might slow things down.
I normally tell people that if they are away from home or work for a day
or so, go ahead and enable 3G, but when just out and about checking
simple e-mail use GSM.

Hi Neil
The only thing I was able to change was to GSM, everything else was
already
set the way you said I should set it. So let's see if that makes any
difference.

Hi Barbra,
To me it sounds like you have 3G enabled alongside WLAN, constant packet
data connection and maybe the internal GPS depending on if your phone
has
any of these.
Assuming you are near a weak 3G area the phone will constantly try to
connect to it, 3G as it is drains battery, but switching back and forth
does
it more so. The same with wireless networking, the phones are by default
set
to search and find access points, again a battery killer. Same true for
packet data connections.
Most of these things are found in Tools Settings, you should turn
network to
GSM only in the phone menu in tools settings, under network, you can
turn
packet data to when needed rather than when available in tools settings
connections access points, press options, and scroll to it. And you can
normally also find wireless in here.
With these things all on though, it is easy to consider your battery
dying
so quickly.

Some of you may remember my questions last week re a power problem. My
battery goes flat in a very short space of time even with little use. It
goes so dead that upon recharge I need to reset the date and time. I
purchased a new battery and guess what? Was on full bars when I went to
bed
last night and about 5.15 this morning it was down to 1 bar and I was
getting the low battery warning. Would I be right to assume then that
the
problem is with the phone and not the battery? ARe there things I could
try
before going back to Nokia as the phone is still under warranty? I have
Bluetooth switched off unless I am using it and as far as I know there
is
nothing else set which would drain power.
