VZW TP2 - No Warning When Battery Is Low?

I've been using my TP2 a fair amount - just got it, still learning, playiing, etc. - so I've been running down the battery fairly quickly. A couple of times, it apparently just ran out completely and turned off. As far as I know, there were no audio notifications, vibration, etc. I had put it to sleep, and was in my front pocket both times this happened.

I looked completely through the User Manual, and saw no mention one way or the other about whether or not this is the way it's supposed to behave.

Anybody with any insight on this? I'd prefer to be able to get an audible warning so I could plug it on, etc.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply and suggestion, but I've been there, and the drop-down options (for this Verizon TP2) do not contain an entry for Low Battery. Multiple other options, but not Low Battery.

Anyone with a Verizon phone have this, or know if this setting might be somewhere else?

Re: VZW TP2 - No Warning When Battery Is Low?

If u have voice command, it will announce that the battery is low or if u use Phone Alarm it give u the option to add a low battery alert... You can also use an app like DCI battery that puts a strip @ the top of your taskbar that change colors (from green to yellow & finally red) as your battery depletes

Thanks again, but nope - no options for this under Voice Command. Also, I don't see "Phone Alarm" on my device (is this a 3rd party)?

DCI battery wouldn't have helped either, as apparently my phone died while in my pocket, in sleep mode, display off.

It's hard for me to believe that a phone like this wouldn't have the ability to generate an audible alarm when the battery is running low.

Any Verizon TP2 users that can provide any insight here?

To enable in Voice Command check the Status box & yes PhoneAlarm is 3rd party....


If u use Voice Command, click notifications & select Annouce notifications using Bluetooth handsfree if available & uncheck during free time if u wish

Thanks, and I hate to sound like a broken record, but Status was already checked, and there are no options available there that show Battery Alarm, either under Status, or any other of the entries.

And I already have notifications configured as you suggest.

It's really looking like this is a difference between Verizon and your Sprint TP2.

At least you tried. Like I said, it may be a Verizon thing, and I just need to wait for one of them to chime in.
