Yes, I'd like to know how to apply the GSM fix as well. I d/l it, and when I try to run it, I get an error message saying it is an image file of some sort, and then it goes to my CD drive and tries to read it.???

When i look at my battery i only see info on voltage , also an 820# but thats about it, is there another reference number that i should look for other than the obvious  mah identity?

i have also been looking for it's product part number and seem that there is none. just serial numbers.

Hmm, I have been switching from wm2002 to wm2003 many times.
A never had a battery issue, but I have noticed this:

I am using mpx200 every day heavily, so my battery life is something about, let say, 24-32 hours, never more !!!! Even I am running WM2002 ...  
I did hard reset trick (even overfull baterry), etc ...
Few days before, I checked baterry life, when I was using phone like this:
-30min max call a day
-no playing with the phone !!! (flip openned when calling only)
-power on, during night

And what I get on WM2003? Max 48h life time, after 48h, when you play for a while with the phone, baterry is dead very quick ... The same is WM2002...

And don´t forget, that CPU is overclocked (120MHz -> 132Mhz) in WM2003, so It MUST eat more baterry, when operate ! So phone is faster in EVERY operation, try benchmark in Betaplayer for example ...

So tell me, how it ispossible to GET 3+ days stanby .... ???  :shock:
I can not believe this ...  :roll:

Thanks

The CPU is not overclocked on the 2003 ROM.
Never heard of that before, where did you see this posted?

Battery life just fully charge your battery before doing a hard reset.
This can also depend on if you have been looking after your battery in the first place.

[svaca]

Where I heard it about ? Everywhere ! :-)))
See, @anonymous hacked ROM (second edition) has CPU overclocked to 132MHz for a better performance.

EDIT please read the site rules before posting.

Or you can use the Betaplayer, there is a CPU information in option menu and it shows 132MHz in WM2003 and 120MHz in WM2002, have a look .... :-)

This is, why wm2003 are faster then wm2002, maybe .. I don´t, know, but it doesn´t matter ... :-)

Bye.

[awarner]

2003 is certainly not faster than 2002 in any test I have done (unfortunately)

I'm on wm2002 and have no problems with my battery (820mah).
After loading the battery 3 times (using the phone until it went out, loading it) my battery had reached its full capacity.
Now i can watch about one houre+ divx films without headphones, whitch would additionally increase my battery life.

Doing this can damage your battery. You should never try to discharge a Li-ion battery as you can cause perminent damage to the batteries capacitance.
Li-ion batteries prefer to be topped up unlike Noi-Cd and Ni-Mh batteries which did
need to be discharged due to memory loss.

Upgraded my MPX 200 to WM2003 last week, horrible battery life, less than 24 hrs. Read through the forum and changed the channel settings, now battery seems to be lasting as before with WM 2002, ie several days

What should I say ...
Bad hard reset ....
You baterry has to be 100% full.
And check the beam !! MUST be unchecked ...

I'm happy to say that I followed TBALL25's tutorial and all I can say is wow!

I powered the phone up at 04:30 this morning, I've fiddled with it a bit, synced it via IR, used the calendar, played a quick game of jawbreaker.I  used to only get about 8.5 hours on standby (without making calls) yet nearly 12 hours later and the phone has only just dropped to 88%.

All I can see is thanks - I'd given hope of having a half decent battery life.
The C500 it aint (Damn that thing goes and goes) but an estimated 80-90 hours standby time is amazing.

I have a motorola mpx 200 with 820mah battery for about 5 months, i installed 3-4 month ago windows for smartphone 2003 on it, there was no battery life time decrase/incrase so my life time is about 55h normal i dont have the gsm fix installed i have the same life time in 2003 wich i haved in 2002, so my battery life was! gret till now, a day ago i instaled opera and telnet on my smartphone and the time life of the battery droped down to about 8h , i hade about 75 programs/games installed on the phone, today i charged the phone about 2 times and then i uninstaled about half of the programs and games to see if there is battery life time incrase, till now my phone is fully charged for about 30 min and the battery it's at 99% and i deactivated incoming beam's, so i donth now what could hapened to my phone, it was opera or telnet that f***** up my phone?colud a program drop life time battery? i did kill every thing in task maneger so that nothing is runing on my phone but the battery does go off, now i'm waiting to see life time with half of programs instaled and incoming beam off (so i repeat! the problems with the battery came after i installed opera and telnet) so i dont know is my battery going 2 die? or it was just to much programs instaled on my phone, i'll wait now and post when the battery is down and tell u the results.

Yes it is, you can see that in BetaPlayer

[awarner]

That is showing the CPU not the actual clock speed

I have first hand information and I can assure you that the 2003 ROM
is not overcloacked in any way.

Strange, sounds very much like he left the phone no until it turned itself out, ie, let the battery empty.

The processor in your MPX200s were always 132mhz. What I don't know is why the Betaplayer report would change from 120mhz

[someaznguyny]

I'm not sure why you'd need to hard reset repeatedly...I just hardsetted once and battery life improved. I left the phone out for about 16hrs, and it was at 70%.  

The best solution is to have a spare battery, like in my case, I use the phone alot throughout the day.
