Talking Re: Touch Pro Battery life!!! Post your reviews!!

Good evening to all of you experiencing problems with their battery

I'll try to explain you how I fixed the problem. Apologise my poor English but my mother tongue is French...

I've read on a forum - I don't remeber where, there are so much people experiencing the same problem... - what follows:
1. Let your TP die on the battery
2. When the battery is completely empty, charge it only for 10 mimutes (just enough to boot)
3. Perform a hard reset
4. Cherge the battery for at least 8 hours

It worked for me, so I expect it will work for all of you. This trick made a VERY big difference: my battery life has improved very much.

Some explanation:
The TP comes with a battery charged for 50%. When you use it immediately, there is some flag in WM6 that reminds the battery charge and assumes it's 100%. So, when you charge your battery, you only charge 50% of the power. Doing like explained above, you reset the flag to a much lower value and the battery takes a full charge.

Blablabla... Just try it !
