Re: fso - charging question
Did you try to leave the phone on the charger while the GSM module is off? On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 9:28 PM, Leonti Bielski wrote: > I understand it, but why GSM dries _battery_ while connected?

Re: fso - charging question
I understand it, but why GSM dries _battery_ while connected? Why it is not possible to switch power source to usb completely? When I take my battery out phone is still working, so there is no need to actually drain battery while connected to power source. Isn't that right?

It is expected behavior since GSM will drain the battery slowly and it needs to start recharging it again after a while.

fso - charging question
Hello! I'm using latest frameworkd and andy-tracking. Right now my phone behaving like this - it's charging (orange led) until the led is blue, than after some time led turns orange again and charging starts. This is all while phone is connected to pc. This means - fso charges battery until it's full, than stops charging, battery discharges and the process is all over again. Does it supposed to be like this? I mean the expected behavior is like this - battery charges till it's full, led turns blue and because the phone is powered by pc, there is no need to discharge the battery and the led should not become orange again after it turned blue.
