After updating my 701 to FP2, battery life only lasts 2 hours at maximum (offline mode, power saving on, bluetooth and wifi off) I already reflash my phone via refurbish (OFW) stiil the problem is there, I taught it was a battery problem. I bought original OEM battery but still the same. I used my battery warranty to change on other battery, but this time on an original non-OEM battery, it lasts for 3 hours but still not satisfied.. Please help.. I already try to use different apps (tweaks, and other battery saving apps). *sigh* what can i do?

is that the cause? i dont use maps. is that on by default? i found that my processor is rarely goes below 40 % and i found that it is cause by ekern.exe if i remember it right. i searched on google and im not the only one experiencing this http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/701-Belle-FP2-battery-issue-again/td-p/1583002 http://forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=82024.0

ekern.exe is a system kernel process, it won't be that directly.

i want to add that my 701 is really hot, i mean literally. i dont know the cause but it is always hot.

It's doing something, did you give a hard reset ?

have you installed any apps like battery monitor or battery monitoring app?

I've heard that Nokia Battery Monitor eats a lot of battery. Try uninstalling that....

i experience that too but what i did is i put the phone in a cool places such as fan and aircon except in a water or ref,take the batery off the phone and turn it off from tym to tym den my phone situation back normaly,.

I will try this one. Thanks!

Its a while since the last post, but did you fix it yet?

I bought a new 808 last week, and of course took all the immediate updates happily. Was horrified by the 10% per hour drop in battery level..

Since then I have tried a lot of things, read a lot of unhappy posts, and re-learnt a lot about Symbian since my E61 days

I currently have good results! But I'm not sure what really fixed it for me

I removed all of the games, Adobe Reader, in fact almost everything in the app drawer that allowed removal, including Weather-, clock- and the new FP2 widgets.

I have qooBattery widget as that shows me the dynamic milliamps used, and the Text Clock widget. 

Opera Mobile, cuteBox and Tweetian are the apps I use. I found a 1.26 version of Skydrive to upload photos to the cloud when taken (with a mifi in my pocket

The app which is doing me most good (I ythink) is Battery Power Saver, which I set to either silent, meeting, or offline for max savings, and App Stop which allows me to keep watch for anything unusual.

Hope that may help someone with battery troubles after the FP2 update..
