Case magnet killing battery... - Page 5

I also have the HTC branded leather case and with this registry change it works very well. I did not have this problem with my Palm branded leather case and frankly did not expect to have it with the HTC case. However, 4 days ago I noticed that it was on in the case and after that I just started physically turning it off after putting it in the case. This change is really good.

I have a super strong neo magnet. It can pick up objects through a 1" thick desk with ease. I can move it right up against my TP2 without it turning it on. There is no cell phone case in the world that has a stronger magnet than the one I am using.

Urban legend at best.

You apparently missed the above video. I have a magnetic case and it does occasionally happen to me, but I always put it in screen to hip so it's rarely an issue for me.

I have a case magnet. It's been fine for me thus far. I've tested since readin' this thread and there has been no significant battery drain aside from my normal usage. I even kept it in the holster overnight to see and my batter surprisingly kept a great charge.

(*In most cases.*) And he was saying how this somehow,waken as the device inside the pouch, which drains the battery without you knowing. I know some of you feel that the battery sucks enough, but do any of you who use the magnet pouches, think this can be a cause of your battery draining faster?

The magnet can play a role in the battery but not because it wakes up, My Tp2 Wakes up randomly even if is not in the pouch.... overnight my Tp2 will loose about 10-15% of battery life.. I will now leave the phone outside the pouch to see if it makes a difference...

its not keeping it in the case that kill the batt goober...lol its putting it in and taking it out that wakes it up. Not all cases do it just the ones that have a strong magnet.

thats a whole different thread but might be a valid point.

Yeah, I've been told that these devices wake up on there own, but like Cleveland mentioned, that's something different that can be a cause also. The video in this thread shows that the magnet can wake up the phone inside (*certain cases*), so this has become a proven fact.

LMAO @ goober. Even with the entry/exit, I've still not seen any battery drain. I guess I got lucky ... goober ...
