In this case, NOT. Everywhere is written that Skype and yahoo does not support Symbian video calling (cause they are to lazy to do it for Symbian) but yet you bought an n8 and got disappointed... BUHUU! So, mrs Troll. What can people here say? Or you are really dum* or you are a TROLL! You peak the version that suits you. At the end it is really not nokia's fault cause some people are... Ignorant TROLLS.

Yemko, 19 Nov 2012Still with old firmware v013, do i have to update to anna first before i can get belle update ... moreTo scared to try the solution i gave to you? With this is like installing windows on a hard drive. It is kind of the same procedure. Phoenix is a program used by Nokia care center to update or fix issues in mobile phones. it is more for advance users, but with a bit of will you can learn it to.:)

AnonD-20890, 19 Nov 2012why are you not bothered about the worst battery backup of nokia n8?.You misunderstand people!
1. He said he does not have problems with his battery's (cause he has 2 phones), i'm also not having problems with my n8. Average use takes me through 2 days, less then average takes me through more then 3 days. Heavy usage takes me easy through 24+ hours. So, it is quite very good.
2. Nope, nope and nope. You need to uninstall battery monitor cause it is known to cause battery drainage in some devices. Maybe yours is one of them.
After that, just let the battery discharge to the point 0 (you will know when that is, without battery monitor, when the phone will warn you that the battery is low) just use it as you normal use it until the battery drains.
when the phone will tell you that has low battery, turn it of and plug the charger, let it charge to the maximum.
After complete, unplug it and let it for 10 minutes to rest, THEN turn it on.
After everything is loaded plug it back in until it's full.
Do this process 3 to 5 times and see if you have any improvement.
Also, after all of this, don't let it discharge more then 10% (one bar) only from time to time, or when you are forced to do so(cause you are not home or something like this)
Charge it when ever you can. Will last longer in time. AND will last longer when you need it to do so. Also read about how to take care of your lithium ion battery and prolong it's life in internet. You will find allot of useful posts. Hope you understood me better this time. Hope i could help also.
Also their is a very good app: Best TaskMan, which is very good in killing tasks that always remain open in background. The program does not integrate well in the system but is very useful to use it as a task killer and not as a task manager. This tasks are not killed by any program like "app stop" so you need to kill them manually: Camera (this task is found in all apps area). Mapsbackground, s2variantsrv.exe, syncshareserver.exe and others will be found under processes. here is a link for it if you're interested. http://store.ovi.com/content/5808

Anonymous, 19 Nov 2012i adviced you for your benefit. Samsung is really good. But sorry that i suggested you. Enjoy ... moreBetter mind your words.
A single operator will not offer all the benefits especially in India. So thats why I have many handsets without having the heart to sell. Because all are super hit models. Understood?.
Even if you get a Iphone worth more than Indian Rupees 50000, there is no feature of announcing the time jyst by pressing a button. This is where Nokia 1280 and all multimedia mobiles stand. Ok?.

Carol, 18 Nov 2012If you were just keeping your first comment to be the last one to... i would have believe you ... moreeveryone except you in this world wants skype videocall. If n8 would have skype, i would be able to have video talk with my friends who are residing i usa anytime. You dont know the inportance of skype. Even nobody cares about battery backup. So you and your nokia symbian is a big crap dung. Now i have done no..kia to nokia.

What u are ... moreMake sure you have the App Stop program/app. It stops any running programs from the background. I never had battery draining problems with my N8 when I used this app. It works brilliantly on my 808, too.

What u are coming to say is :
> Put to power saver mode (when battery becomes low).
> Switch off the mobile and put to full charge.
> Switch on the mobile and wait for 10 minutes.
> Then charge to full level again.
Right?.
I will try after getting from Nokia care (may be this month end).
I have bought Nokia DC-16 (external battery) since this cheater N8 is eating up battery quickly.

I use Nokia 5320 for alarm and SMS. I use N79 as secondary handset since N8 is given to Nokia care (bettery backup issue).
I use Nokia 1280 for hearing the time in the mid sleep (without waking up and looking at the mobile) by long pressing the star button.
I have the super hit models of Nokia (N79, 5320 and 1280). Why should I sell?. My collegue has Samsung S7562. He is also saying that battery lasts only for 24 hours !!!.

The thing is nokia started to go down before ELOP. I think nokia got tired of investing in Symbian, cause as i was always saying, Symbian is harder to update, it is harder to work on it's core. So Nokia, because of the quickly coming new OS's, needed to find quick a good and stable system to adopt. So, Microsoft being the experienced ones. They bet on WP phone. Just another conspiracy:)

Now you're just a TROLL. Who cares about your yahoo and skype video-calling anyway? There is laud and clear that skype and yahoo does not support symbian entirely and not vice versa. If they are to lazy to do it or they don't know the core of symbian, doesn't mean symbian is to blame. Second, s2 better battery? This guy here has a 20 hours problem not a "12 hours and i'm proud" like that plasticsqarecrapp has. Please go to samdung forum and praise that device there. Here you're comment's will be deleted... soon.

After that, let the battery drain to the point it asks you to put it in powersaving mode. turn it off and plug it in for the charge, after complete, turn it on wait to load and plug it back in until full charge. after done, plug it out and let it to cool out for 10 minutes, then you can use it. Do like this 3 or 4 times and come back with good news:)
