Guest AvWijk Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 For some serveral reasons had my simcard out of my MPx200 and installed in another phone for a few hours. Later, I installed the simcard and the battery back in my MPx200. Everything went fine, but I noticed my battery time increased, after an hour my battery was at 80%, and before that I fully loaded it :roll: Before I had the battery out everything was fine, battery time was about 3 days. Now not even 1 day! Now I do have to hard reset my phone AGAIN :twisted: This matter happended before when I went to the discotheque where I had somehow 0,0 network coverage. Before I went I loaded the battery to 100%, batt time 3 days. but when I went back out of the discotheque, my battery was dead. After that I charged my phone, and I'll get a shitty battery time back of 1 day :cry: I'm getting VERY VERY tired of this battery life s*** and hard resetting all the time, I can't even normally pull out my battery because I get worried about an battery life decrease!! :twisted: :evil: :evil: By the way I have @nonymous: WM 2003 , latest version before I didnt had any problems like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chudy Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 well i had battery problems for a while now, never used the mps200 with SP2002 so i cant compare it with that (only bought the mpx200 because of @nonymous's WM2003 rom :D) what i did and it seemed to help is take the battery out and totally discharge it, i dont know if its bad or not but after i did that and fully charged it overnight, no longer had the short battery life...maybe it was a fluke so who knows.... so i took a light bulb out of a flashlight and connected it to the two ouside battery leads, and after it went dim and then dead, i did the lick test to see if the battery had any "kick" to it :P. being totally discharged, i recharged it and everything seemed to be well again...

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 what i did and it seemed to help is take the battery out and totally discharge it, i dont know if its bad or not Very bad thing to do :P Li-ion batteries do not suffer as much pronounced memory as the old Ni-Cd and Ni-Mh. Fully discharging it can damage the internal circuitry of the battery and reduce the life of the battery. Best thing to do with Li-ion batteries is to charge them with a good 12 hours plus once in a while and they prefer to be topped up rather than drained.

Guest orcinus Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Very bad thing to do :P Li-ion batteries do not suffer as much pronounced memory as the old Ni-Cd and Ni-Mh. Fully discharging it can damage the internal circuitry of the battery and reduce the life of the battery. Actually, it's even WORSE than that! :shock: Discharging a Li-Ion battery below 2V (per cell) makes irreversible damage to it's chemistry! Internal battery electronics should usually be designed to prevent such an event, though, along with overcharge (Li-Ion batteries, unlike Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and many other technologies do not have an "inbuilt" chemical mechanism that protects them from overdischarge and overcharge). Bottom line is - if your battery voltage is above 2V, you're safe. Orcinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AvWijk Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Thanks all for the replies. I have the feeling that if I take out the battery some setting or register thingy for the battery is resetted, causing worse baterry time. Isn't there any software solution for this?

Guest orcinus Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Sorry in advance if this won't be of much help, but have you tried cleaning the contacts of your battery? Although it may sound weird, but once, when i had a Siemens S35, i had problems with battery that seemed to stem from miscommunication between the phone and battery electronics. Cleaning the contacts and lodging a thick piece of paper between the battery and casing (so that it presses the battery against the contact leads) helped. i pulled the battery out of my mpx200 numerous times and never experienced the problem you've described... :P Orcinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AvWijk Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 It didn't work :cry: My MPx200 hardware is ok. It looks like it's a software problem, I didn't had any battery probs before. I'm tired of hard resetting again. Re-flashing the phone, shouldn't that be the solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest muzzio_giovanni Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 with my mpx200 and windows 2003 i think that my battery is die because the charge process don't start : the battery is empty ( infact i can't turn on the mpx200 ) and the charge don't run in anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest josephccy Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 i have found that. when my battery totally 0%, Backup battery is 90%. i still can start my phone, & then i check the Resource Manager, that side show me that my battery is charging! But i dun have charge my phone at all. how come will be like that?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Try charging with the mains charger and the phone powered off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rivernet1 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Wow - I guess I'm not the only person w/ this problem. When my MPx200 was running WM2002, my battery would last a couple of days, and since the installation of WM2003, if I can get 10 hours, I'm lucky. Then again this thing keeps locking up and acting strange at times. Wonder if it's a hardware issue. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Did you make sure your battery was fully charged when you did the Hard Reset? if not recharge the battery to 100% then hard reset :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rivernet1 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Yup. Actually, if it was charged anymore, it would glow in the dark. heh heh PS - I also have a 'packaged ROM' archive and I wrote the instructions on how to go about the flashing and etc, etc - and I mention in there "Make sure your battery is 100% charged, not 90, 80, or somewhat - it needs to be 100% ready to go." So.... Yea... it was 100% :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
