Guest beersoft Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 with all this talk of hardresets and things, young Mr Warner gave me a hot tip and i spent some time testing it, TOP TIP: If you are going to hard reset your phone, make sure that the battery is at 100% for at least 30 to 60 minuites before doing it. i have tested this with my E200 and the battery life is LOTS better in the range of 25% to 50% with bluetooth on and the sd card in. (it also worked on on my mpx200 as well) later Owenresettip.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brody Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Now this is interesting! We need to confirm this with some more testing! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drblow Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 So, just to be really anal & specific ... does that translate to leaving the phone in the cradle/charger for 30-60 mins? Then hard resetting as quickly as humanly possible? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beersoft Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 OK, so i have too much time on my hands here is the projected improvement with the top tip before i would have got about 24 hours, and now i should get about 45 :D its all good news :D later Owenprojectedtip.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beersoft Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 dr blow its just to make sure that the battery is full in a li-ion sort of way (and i know what you lot are like for following instructions) and i always hard reset with it plugged into the mains charger anyway later Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I'm not massively convinced by your projections beery :D Really you need to test through to the battery giving up the ghost or calculate the rate of drop (linear, exponential, logarithmic etc) and project using the average of the recorded results Sorry, spent too long having various tutors and teachers moaning about reliability of my results :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beersoft Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 don't blame me, i got a E in my gcse maths all i did was select all the current results in excel and drag them till they when't to zero then used the magical graph wizard :D my numbers are as good as HTC's all they did was turn the phone on, start stopwatch, leave it for 4 days, see that its turned off and reported the results as "phone lasts 4 days" or something like that later Owen "must stop using 'whacky html tags'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vector Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 It seems to be working for me so far :D Been 2 hours and says i have 2.5 days left, where as before i would only have just over half that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hehe, i've no doubt it works, just some interesting predictions. Think i'll do myself a hard reset later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Well my E200 has just lasted four days :shock: Then again I did have the radio off :D Seriously though Since starting this last week I do have a much better battery life on my MPX200 as well.

Guest lutzh Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 now speaking about a top tip from who ever - i have to say that this top tip was postet at least a week ago already - included in the wm2003 update for mpx200 - quote: Falls jemand Probleme mit dem Akku haben sollte folgender Rat: Gerät AUSSCHALTEN, dann vollständig aufladen und anschliessend (voll geladen) einen Hardreset durchführen (Blaue Taste beim Einschalten gedrückt halten; "Master Reset => YES"). it says nothing else then you said here. and the one who discovered it had good eyes to read @nonymus' advice... cheers, lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Well I did not read @nomymus post as my eyes are only good enough to read English i'm afraid :D I knew about this before the 2003 hacked rom was released but needed to test it before posting.

Guest lutzh Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 hey, why not - i was just telling you that this was known before... maybe it was stupid to not talk about it or just in german :-) cheers, lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lutzh Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 more important that the question who found out is - does it work? answer: yes! cheers, lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrMagoo Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Has anyone tested whether having the SD card in makes any difference to a hard reset? (and no I haven't tried it - can't be bothered hard resetting - I charge every night now anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beersoft Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Come on everyone, big group hug! im not saying i 'discovered' this tip, all i did was prove that it works (on my e200 and my mpx200) play nicely kids :D later Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lutzh Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 *me_absolutly_in_a_hug_mode*, like i said before - it works. that counts. cheers, lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lutzh Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 ... i could ask @nonymus - but he'll probably answer in german :-) cheers, lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beersoft Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 my random guesswork on why it works is something like this when the phone is reset it looks at the battery and sees the current % and calibrates it as full, so the next time its charged it gets to whatever level the battery was when it was last reset and stops charging. or its somthing else and im just stupid. and mrmaggo, my testing was done with bluetooth on and the sd card in. todays results are in 13.7 hours i lost 50% of the battery (starting at 100%) with about an hours worth of calls and the card and bt on all day. later Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I have now been allowed to say who found the actual tip for the battery life, the one and only @nonymus I was not alowed to say until I was given permission to do so :P/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
