But even if the capacity of "good" phones is know, this does not mean a lot. Till now its not 100% clear what effect the larger capacitor has. It could be that it reduces voltage drops if the Calypso chip wakes up. But it could also be that it reduces noise which comes from the rest of the system. I can imagine that there are a lot of parameters which determine how noise from the outside of the GSM modem can disturb the affected supply voltage of the Calypso and most certainly there are differences between the phones . I don't have the hardware equipment to make detailed enough measurements to find out which of the above is true (if not something else or a mixture of several different things). And finally we don't have the documentation of the details inside the Calypso. So we can only speculate what can cause the problems. We know that there is a PLL inside the Calypso and that this PLL seems to be rather sensible, but we don't know what exactly happens when the Calypso is sent into "Deep Sleep" and when it wakes up again. During those transitions there is a switch from the main clock to the 32 kHz clock, but again, we don't have the details.
