Battery Utilization observations/questions --- (not again!!!!)
TexasRockbox:
Stopped, recharged, Battery Plugin underway. I guess we'll find out in the morning or that I ran the plugin incorrectly.
Llorean:
You'll need at least two benches won't you? One with the settings on, one with them off, all other conditions exactly the same?
TexasRockbox:
True. Thiis test is with the "ipod-mode" settings as they were altered (things turned off -- FM, Photo, whatever seemed like it could conceiveably utilize power). I can run another one with the ipod settings reset to default.
The item that bugs me is the "remaining time". It was a consistent 4h 49m with full charge until the ipod changes, then it jumpted to 14h 0m after the changes. Has anyone else reported a "remaining time" of 14h 0m with the ipod 5g Video 80gb?
Llorean:
I told you that number is virtually meaningless right now. Change the Battery Capacity setting (if it's changeable on the 5G iPod right now) and see how the time remaining changes, for example.
Objective tests are the only way to go, depending on that at all is pointless.
tdtooke:
Just out of curiosity I just did this and did notice my remaining time get a boost I've never seen it get before. I understand that this number is not to be relied on, but it does have me curious. I'm going to do a bench with factory settings and one with everything turned off myself in the odd event there is something to this.
