AnonD-2572, 27 Apr 2011Hi John, Yes, very much here!! :)
I've read about a few users complaining about battery li... moreglad to hear from you dude...its been a long time. LOL.
Anyway, I think we're having the same experience regarding the battery life of our C7s. I charged mine fully yesterday (same time) and now, after a few hours of gaming, messaging, a bit of wifi usage..i have 2 bars left (20%)(ps: my display is at 75%)
Another thing, I've tried downloading swype on a 5530 and it supports swype portrait qwerty..how come our symbian^3 units doesn't have this yet? One of the things I'm looking forward to on the release of Anna is the portrait qwerty, but If portrait swype comes first, I wouldn't be more excited about Anna. LOL.
About the TV out..I've tried using a 5800 cable, and it is awesome even with a 32-inch TV, but still we have to admit HDMI is really better.

Anonymous, 25 Apr 2011hi, has any1 yet tried the tv-out thru 3.5mm cable. does it work??Yes I have, and TV out on the C7 works beautifully on an LCD screen. I'd recommend everyone try it to see what its like..you dont need an HDMI HD quality out like the N8 when the C7's output is so good even at SD.

john C7, 26 Apr 2011hey maverick..you still here dude?
just wanted to ask, after updating to pr 1.2..how's your... moreHi John, Yes, very much here!! :)
I've read about a few users complaining about battery life taking a hit after updating to PR 1.2, but in my case it still seems to be about the same. I do, however have the same experience like you, in that playing any games for 30 mins causes the unit to heat a bit at the top (esp around the camera like some people complain, but thats cos of the better conductivity of the metal there), and battery life drops about 15-20%. In everyday use though, I havent noticed a drop, my average battery life is 24-36 hours depending on how much browsing or gaming I do. I dont think the processor speed has changed, even though performance seems smoother. (I havent run any benchmarks though)
Another thing I have noticed is that the available memory after a fresh reboot is down to about 125 MB or so, when it used to be about 135-140 MB earlier. I think that doesnt have anything to do with the update though, its probably due to my indiscriminate installation of apps, many of those will have processes running in the background even if the app isnt. I have experienced a freeze of about a minute once with the OVI store app..thats about it, no restarts or totally unresponsive hangs yet. Everything else about the unit is A-Ok. Let me know if you've noticed any new issues with yours. Cheers!!

Thats exactly wats happenin with my C7 it was better with PR 1.1 but the battery life got really bad after PR 1.2..... However the performance has improved to a great extent so dont mind compromising a little on the battery life... Hope PR 2.0 or Anna does the trick

I'll be buying either nokia C7 or N8 next week. C7 is 50,000 - 55,000 in Nigeria while N8 is 75,000 - 80,000. Is it worth paying an extra #30,000 for N8 or shld i stick with my dream C7?

hey maverick..you still here dude?
just wanted to ask, after updating to pr 1.2..how's your unit's battery performance?
UNFORTUNATELY, after updating mine to pr 1.2..my battery drains faster., i.e., after fully charging it 100%, then playing angry birds or any game for about 30 minutes or so...my battery life goes down to 85%.
any idea what could have caused this? before updating, (with the same usage) I can use my phone for 24+hours..now, I don't think it'll last for 1 day.
do you think it has something to do with the processor speed? is the clock speed changed after the update? would love to hear your input dude. TIA.
