SMT5600 - 2 Questions about Power
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: chuckknight

I have 2 questions about power, involving my beloved SMT5600.

First, I have acquired a Blackberry (5 pin mini USB) car charger, and would like to know if anyone knows if it's compatible? The connector is right, but that's not conclusive...I don't want to fry my phone, or ruin the battery.

Second, how I have the WM2003XP homepage installed, so I have a numeric display of my battery charge, in percent. Yesterday I left the house with 59%...last night, after rather light use (around 30 minutes scattered across the day), my phone did an auto-shutdown, because power was under 5%.

This doesn't seem normal...how accurate is that counter? I got 3 days of use out of the battery...but the lower "half" seemed to dwindle away very quickly. Just trying to figure out if I have a problem, or not.
