    E71 battery life after firmware update

    You won't get an answer on when new firmware will be released. It's entirely up to how you use your device when you've to recharge the battery. If you're constantly using WLAN, gprs, GPS or services like Nokia Messaging, you've to charge your battery more
    often.

    How do I recharge a battery on my HP computer (running with Windows 10)? The battery is running down and now is at only 38%.

    What model computer? Laptops need to be recharged regularly using the adapter plugged into an electrical outlet. Check with HP Support if you are having problems charging your battery. How old is the battery? Batteries do wear out after about 2-3 years.
    Make sure you use the computer without the adapter regularly and recharge when needed. It is not good to always leave the adapter plugged into the computer. Batteries still wear out even if the computer is never run on battery alone.

    I have very different experience. Last HP laptop served me very well. It is now around 10 years old and I gave it into further use *Smile. Battery died few years ago (it holds five minutes). After 6 years battery still had almost an hour of life. Have to admit, it was on the road just for a moth per year.
    My music player, Philips Gogear Vibe still plays around 15 hours of music at medium volume. I have it as long as I can remember (OK, 7 to 8 years)
    My phone after 3 years still hold for 3 to 4 days, and it is not a flagship phone.

    Just don't use them fully up, and don't charge them to often.

    I cannot follow the article using the on page "next" keys in Edge, IE, FF, and Chrome do not progress beyond page 1 of 8, unless I append 2/, 3/, 4/ etc., to the article's first page web address.

    Beyond that, laptop batteries are reasonably easy to find good replacements for:

    HP Compaq Presario CQ57 Purchased August 2012, used daily as main PC, battery finally succumbed to HP "replace battery" nag in November 2015. That's 3 years, only charged with OEM mains adapter. Replaced with reasonable quality non-OEM "Lavolta" battery, now with about 12% reduction in expected battery duration after 5 months use.

    Mobile phones on the other hand - Samsung - for instance are hard to find genuine or "good" replacements, there are so many counterfeit sources repackaging inferior no-name units in poorly printed labels.

    I received one of these from an Amazon Marketplace reseller, which was clearly fake, and had poorer capacity than the battery I wished to replace, and I informed Amazon of my suspicions and following Amazon's communication to the seller, was sent first one replacement battery, identical even to the same serial number on the battery label, and a returns prepaid envelope.

    When I replied via Amazon's feedback to seller that I did not intend to return either counterfeit battery (which they no-doubt would try to sell on), I received yet another identical battery with another returns envelope.

    I had already received a full refund, and now 3 fake batteries and 2 prepaid padded envelopes to different addresses, by the way.

    I was not going to risk these batteries exploding in my phone during a recharge, and they sat on a shelf for a few weeks, then I discovered a cheap battery charger on Amazon for this battery format, so for a £5, I had a means to recharge these crap batteries in relative safety, and therefore a stock of 3 charged batteries to carry round if one or more of them ran out of juice.
