Auto-off when battery is below certain percentage?

[Guest solitude]

How do I change that? I think I read somewhere that the MPX200 has a auto-off feature when the battery gets below a certain percentage. How do I disable it?

Sorry if this has been asked before. I did a search but could not find it again.

All the smartphones have this, without it you risk the phone

doing a partial reset or corrupting files.

Erm but isn't there any way to change the percentage in which the phone will auto-off itself?

None that I am aware of, as I said it's a safety feature to protect the phone.

There is a battery timeout in the registry but I would advise that you do not play with it.

What is the point of screwing up the phone just to get a small boost in

phone life :?

from my extenive testing of the mpx battery, when the phone turns its self off at 3% you can't do that much with it anyway -

media player stops at 15%,

calls get very flakey at < 8%

best case you will have 8 mins of power with the backlight on, or an hour with the lid closed and it doing nothing

Maybe you should post or list the results of your tests in a text file for us to view. we (or I) would really like to know what #s people are getting. or, on average, the minutes/percentage ratio. it seems that, for me, i get about 1 hour for every 13%.

I don't think mine auto-offed itself at 3%. The last I remembered, I still had 2 bars of battery (before going to sit for a 1h 30mins exam). When I finished my exam, I took out my phone and "HEY! WTF how come it OFF itself?" I attempted to turn on the phone but it stopped at the "SmartPhone 2002" screen and offed itself.

personally i would not like to boost battery life, but shorten it. I have had several times that my spv powered of itself, resulting in a hang-up at startup screen or partiasl reset. where can this be changed?

[Guest beersoft]

ok, this problem got my little brain working again :)

im currently testing a new version of my battery monitor app, which now logs to a CSV file

time running

current power

time running at current power

the next % point down (because my phone is mental and the power goes up and down like $insertrudecoment)

as long as my testing goes well over the next 12 - 24 hours i'll stick the app here on modaco for you all to play with.

if you want to beta test send me a pm :lol: (EDIT: or find me on #smartphone)
