Interesting battery issue - GSM-Forum

vizionar · 08-30-2004, 07:53

A new battery, applied battery in percentage and it showed numbers normally (they progressed linearly from 100 to 0%). But after a while (month or two) it started developing strange behaviour. Now, it still works for 3 days with no problem, but battery percentage is all wrong, jumping from 100% to 50 % in a matter of hours than falling to 25 (or so) in next 5-6 hrs and staying in 25-10% range for two days, until it shows 0% and still works for few hours and then dies. Same strange behaviour is shown with every other battery indicator (standard bat pic, or mV). If someone can explain what I might be doing wrong to mess up batteries so quickly, please tell me know.

Also, a question, when I flash fubu, do I need to have battery fully charged or it doesn't matter? (since it says to have battery fully charged when changing fw, but I don't know about flashing full flash with VKlay)

Try to change your battery settings (using *blk files). I had the same problem, and now it is okay.
About battery charge when flashing, I'm not shure, but I think it is not nesesary to have full battery.

The battery parametes are stored in the EEProm area. If you use a Fubu from annother mobile then the battery paramters are also changed and this can be the result of the strange behavior now. IMHO there's no need to fullflash with charged battery if you make a backup of your EEP before. Or if you use a Fubu of annother mobile and after flashing you use your EEP again.......

But please don't start to play around with the parameters using sensortools. There are thounsands of those blk files but noone will fit to your phone with one exeption, your own you've read out from YOUR phone (of course the one from your original FW version

)

About flashing... in x35 and x45 series you can use UniSiemens as flasher. The interface is much more user friendly and works best with SL45

you can use Riza's batter eeprom block. it worked fine for me.

EEP is original, the one it all worked OK before. So it's most likely not up to eeprom.
I also tried new riza's battery eeprom block, and still same thing...

I had the same problem but I thought that it cause for example calling. The percentage was lower when I was calling (20°/°then when I endded 80°/°

Yes, I also have those kind of variations, when sending sms, using java or calling, there appears variation in battery fullness but it's not so big difference in my case. More like 10-15%.
So, how did you solve your problem?

@IVO4 @vizionar

Because battery in percentage patch using net monitor data! So when you calling or using Java valtage going to down for a moment. So... try to wait..

vizionar · 09-01-2004, 18:52

Those varaiations are not a problem for me normally, but it is irritating when charging battery. Because, it shows 100 % quickly even though battery is not loaded.
Also, this did not happen before, even though I used java and other... so does anyone know what may be the problem and how to solve it?

IVO4 · 09-02-2004, 15:19

I removed that patch already. Sorry
