Hi Barbara,
The only thing I would point out about changing to GSM is that it will slow
down your Email retrieval if you use the phone for that. GSM is just packet
data, you are disallowing the use of 3G. I never recommend this if you use
your phone for any kind of data retrieval.
All the best
Steve

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.
