Joescan09 · 08/31/2010, 04:30 PM

normally, 0%

Joescan09 · 08/31/2010, 04:47 PM

Yup I started playing angry birds until it told me to hit the charger.

So to understand the calibration procedure correctly, I should start calibrate mode when my battery is really low and then let it die then recharge??

"Batteries are typically considered worn-out when the full capacity reaches 80% of the rated capacity."
Mine is a stock (June 09) battery and is sitting at 80%. Guess it would be a good investment to upgrade with a new 1350.

Strange...I'm not seeing anything in Preware. I checked "List of Everything" and neither the service nor the app are showing. I updated all feeds, still nothing.

I had uninstalled the earlier version that I got from somline via PM.

Edit: never mind...I got it from the PreCentral page.

seriously, thanks for creating this app. Homebrew Devs in here are awesome!

+1000. My Seidio 2600 only reports as 2300mAh. Still has 98% life left after nearly a year of use, though...

RanGT · 05:26 PM

i'm at 7% but its still not ready because at 3.62V. I'm so confused. Doesn't phone shut off after a certain low battery percent?

Hahah..ok, ok :-P It did it. Now need to find something to keep me busy :-P

Can the members with an 2600mAh battery please tell me if the capacity (mAh) in all scenes is reading correct values? Not the 600mAh bug?
Thanks

CFC · 08/31/2010, 05:39 PM

Trying out the calibration now.
My battery went immediately from about 60% to 0% with a voltage of just 3.68. Right now it's still at 0%, discharging, but the voltage is 3.62.
I'm badly in need of calibration, either that, or the battery is just kaput!
I'll report back later.

CFC · 08/31/2010, 06:10 PM

I finally got the "Connect charger NOW!" message, and plugged in the charger.
Is it normal that the message remains on the screen after plugging it in? I didn't notice whether the "LEARNF" LED lit up, but I assume since I got the message to connect the charger that this indeed happened?

Thanks for the help,
CFC

Yes works with touchstone too, but you have to place the device correctly at the first time.

Yeah, the capacity is correct on my 2300mAh Seidio.

kel101 · 08/31/2010, 06:25 PM

would there be any benefit in calibrating a new battery?

santos · 08/31/2010, 06:32 PM

Waiting for my stock Palm battery to drain enough to 3.4v. However, I did plug in my Mugen 1400 battery and sure enough it's listed at 1150 for the manufacturer rating. That stinks.

I've been having a lot of problems with that Mugen battery too... it drains really fast or goes from 10% immediately to 0% saying I need to plug in or it's shutting down. Anyone else have the Mugen 1400?

The message should have go away after 10-20 seconds. The LEARNF should have turn on. Do you still have that problem?
