Guest santoo Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 hi guys, i'm thinking about using my b7610 for outdoor fun (geocaching, logging routes/trails, sports, etc) - has anyone experience with their b7610 in this area? how long does a fully charged b7610 last with GPS enabled? to be more precise, i was thinking about these conditions: gps = on, phone = on, band: 2g, wifi=off, bluetooth=off, screen=mostly off) oh, and btw: how "dead" is a phone in sleep-mode? does receiving gps-data still work? TIA :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darthveda Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have tried it, I got 5 hours of logging with screen ON most of the time but without backlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest santoo Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have tried it, I got 5 hours of logging with screen ON most of the time but without backlight. 5h with screen ON? that's more than I would have expected... might last twice as long with screen off *must test* thanks for the reply, darthveda!

Guest Terry666 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 5h with screen ON? that's more than I would have expected... might last twice as long with screen off *must test* thanks for the reply, darthveda! I'll tried first... :) 5h looks way to long for me as with 2 x 30-35mins ways to the city and back (morning + afternoon) left me with around 50% power... :( Previously I had the same feeling with small travels around for fun with the GPS... I wouldn't trust my O2 GPS for more than 2 hours with just battery... :) ALWAYS my screen was ON maybe low but ON!... :lol: Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask which batteries you use, Terry & Darthveda? The standard one (iirc 1500 mah)? Because I've seen batteries on ebay & co with 1200 mah and some with only 900 mah, so that would explain the difference... oh, and speaking of batteries - has anyone used more powerful ones? I think I've seen some 1800 mah ones, but nothing bigger for the b7610 :-( with my previous devices there were also bigger (fatter) batteries that would require a special backplate - not very stylish, but absolutely excellent when going hiking, exploring, etc when you couldn't charge your phone for several days - has anyone seen such batteries for the b7610?

Guest darthveda Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 1500 mAh itself. BTW, i did state before that the backlight was off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
