Battery for time settings please help me

[Guest conan_troutman]

i have a 8310 that every time I swap my sd card the time sand date are lost I think the internal battery has died I have two task managers installed one shows the back up/internal battery as 100% the other says it is not supported which i have taken to mean its dead hence the loss of time and date when removing the main battery

so my questions are

A, does an internal battery actually exist

B, how easy to locate is it

C, where do I get a replacement

please please help

as a side note 4gb sd card in 8310 runs just fine but is damn slow at only 80X read write speed

incase any one was wondering

A- There is an internal battery

B-Its diagonally down and right of the SIM card holder assembley, however it is soldered onto the board so replacing it is a no no even if you did find the answer to C

well I have to say i am starting to get hugelydissapointed with HTC first there is way too little memory on the damn device and now the battery has died on the internel system which according to the box it came in was put together in may of this year surly it should last longer than that.

I jsut hope there is some sort of repair for this

i have a spv c600 and have the same problem. when i take off the battery the time&date resets.. and i have the phone just for a few months.

i think that this problem was present since the day i bought the phone (from orange shop).

so what function has the backup battery?

There is no 'backup battery' in a sense on modern PPC's and smatphones, the old WM2003/2002 pocket PC's had backup batterys to stop them losing ALL their data when the main battery was removed as their flash memory was volatile like PC RAM, soon as you killed power it lost the data. The battery on the mainboard of the smartphones is merely their to keep the date and time, like the small button battery on PC motherboards. It's not a 'backup battery' in the sense you can power your PC/smartphone off it :rolleyes:

i get what the back up batery is for I do know its just for the time and date settings however surely it should last longer then 6 months and if it doesn't why can it not be replaced like those of solar powered calendars can
