Charging strangenesses

[vgakh]

I've noticed that when the phone is on and the GPRS connection enabled the device doesnt charge itself FULLY (upto 100%) during THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG charging in the cradle - only till 94%. I have to take it from the cradle, close GPRS and put it again into the cradle. Only after such dances the charging proccess goes on and it takes about 10-15 minutes to receive 100%.
Is it a bug or a feature?

GPRS attaching should not consume any power ... but GPRS transmission consumes considerable amount of power .. maybe that's why you can't reach full battery if you leave MSN on for example

But it is in the cradle THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG. It have to be charged FULLY not depending of working any apps at all.

if you look at the xda2 when it's charging then you'll see that it's by no means charging all the time

it's only charging when the led is orange
when it feel that it's full then it start to blink green and use it's batt
then when it's batt % get lower then some lavel it starts to charge the batt again

when it's in the cradle it dont get power from the cradle
the cradle just charge the batt
so it cant charge the batt 100% and then get it's gsm and standby power from the cradle it have to get it from the batt

In other words, you wonna say, that 94% is the cut-off level for the proccessor to begin real charging battery proccess when going from 100% down?. And I hit this moment every time when I waking up in the morning?

i dont know

[vgakh]

neither do i :cry: :cry: :cry:

try turning flight mode on then charge the phone. I sometimes get a 100% charge reading because of this

[vgakh]

yes, of course. i know that. the question was - why?

[Rudegar]

we cant know for sure but maybe it's something to do with the batt measure have issues making a good measure at the same time as the batt is being used

i also have this problem in charging my xdaII. when i'm charging via the supplied power supply/charger, i'd only get 94% or sometimes 97% charge (even if it was charged the whole night, with the pda off but phone on). however, if i put in on the cradle (with the cradle connected to the usb port of my pc, but no power supply connected to the cradle), i'd get 100% charge after 10-15 minutes, the xda having it's pda and phone on all the time. what gives? :roll:
