What is the point me having a N82 if I can’t keep running the apps that I want? I might as well send it back and get a nokia 1100 or something.*lol*

Quitting applications may or may not do much (unless these applications are actually doing work, maintaining a network connection, etc).

For instance, quitting VoIP software like Fring might be useful, but quitting the Nokia Geotagger would not be (it does not maintain GPS fix or other connections while sitting idle in the background).

Some better tips:
* Turn off keypad tones (Settings -> General -> Personalization -> Tones -> Keypad Tones); otherwise every time you push a key, a beep is emitted.
* Turn off automatic WLAN scanning (Settings -> Connection -> Wireless LAN -> Show WLAN availability: Never). It will still perform scans every time you return to the idle screen, or when you select the last line of your idle screen display.
* Turn WLAN trasmit level to the lowest setting, 4mW (Settings -> Connection -> Wireless LAN -> Options -> Advanced Settings -> Continue Anyway?: Yes -> Automatic Configuration: Disabled -> TX power level: 4mW). A lot of people choose higher settings believing that this will give a better WLAN connection; in reality this is not always so. (Devices tend to over-saturate the RF channel, thus actually degrading wireless performance).
* Do not enable automatic checking/retreival of e-mail; close the e-mail client when you are done reading. (Same with other internet applications, as e.g. the web browser might be told by certain web sites to refresh content every so often..)

Hi!!
Try to make always full charging cycles to your battery. Try not to let it turn off, recharge when it is asking for it

What’s your opinion about that “Offline” profile? My Nokia E51 has it. It actually disconnects the mobile from the GSM network does it? I believe it is a powersaver and it is better to use this instead turning off the mobile at night, what do you think?

If you want fast internet-access, turn your phone to UMTS only. no annoying 2g-handovers.

Don’t use dual-mode or umts unless u really need it, turn to gsm-only.

Go to Settings -> Connection -> Packet data and set the packet data connection when needed, not automatically. This way the phone wont be constantly checking if packet data is available, rather than opening it only when really needed.

Dont ever set the “Show WLAN availability” to enabled, serious battery sucker and without no benefit!

I can acknowledge saving battery when you never powercycle your phone. Leave it on !
I think I also have some additional tips to save power:
1. just closing apps is not enough, also really quit ALL programs & processes on the phone. You can do that with e.g. “Best Taskman”. Some programs actualy don’t quit if you just “quit”, like e.g. the menu. You have to select exit (strange).
2. put/install your small apps that you really want (e.g. a theme, keylock)in the phone memory instead of memory card.

Don’t turn-off the phone at night.
Thats a mistake .
The phone consumes more power, when you switch-it off and at the boot-time.
Do it 4-5 times in a row even with a full battery and see what happens.
