The battery jumping around seems to be independent of any kind of reset. The graph doesn't tell as much in the last two days because usage dramatically decreased when I bought a cheap MP3 player. It will look pretty lame, but it would be cool if it works.ДЄlso, as promised, here is a photo of the battery graph for the past week. In the meantime, anybody have any ideas of taking voltage measurements of the battery? I was thinking of scotch taping some sowing needles to the voltmeter leads. I will include a new battery in my budget for next month, and keep this forum posted as to whether this fixes it or not. That would be awesome, since it would increase the odds that a new battery would fix the problem. I did not know that the battery has charging circuits included. If I use it lightly and charge it every night for a few days, it progressively gets better. For instance, if I use it very heavily (more than 2 hours), the battery drains and I get the low battery warning dips more often.

I think it helps in the sense that it increases the probability that the charging circuit actually has a good day and tops off the battery. I've gotten into the habit of performing an on-charge reset every night and then leave it in for the entire night (in an ideal world, that's 8 hours). Thanks again for all of your help so far. I will try to include a picture of my BatteryGraph log sometime. How did you go about doing that?ДЄs usual, I really appreciate the experience, help, and knowledge that you provide! Thanks for taking the time to read this. I read that some of you in your battery woes have taken voltage readings of the battery. The pins are VERY small in the connector, however, and I have great difficulty getting reliable readings with the big leads of my voltmeter. If there anybody has similar experiences and have or have not fixed it, I would be grateful to hear about it.Дў) One diagnostic I would like to run is to pull the battery out and measure the pins with a voltmeter. However, if the problem is in the recharging circuitry, or even something in the internal voltmeter of the Palm, a new battery won't help. Therefore, my pre-battery-purchase questions to you are as follows:ДЎ) What do all of you in your collective experience think the problem is? If the problem is in the battery giving an erratic voltage, then I can replace the battery and fix it. Before shelling out the ~$20 from my student budget for a new battery, I would like to ask what your gut feeling of the problem is. I am thinking of trying to troubleshoot it again and maybe replacing the battery and seeing if that will fix it.

For instance, it almost always thinks it's full for the first five seconds after being connected to a PC, even for a short HotSync. It does seem to have trouble knowing whether the battery is full or not. I believe that with the voltage reading jumping around like that, it is probably only charging for a portion of the night because it might think it's full during other times. I have gotten into the habit of doing a recharge reset (the one where you do a soft reset while it's plugged in) every night now. Through this up-again-down-again cycle, I can use the E2 somewhat reliably for about 1-2 hours a day, provided that I charge it every night. I have read other members here that carry a small screwdriver with them constantly, and I must say that you are not alone. Before then, it would probably go dead once a month, and I would open the case to disconnect the battery. This symptom began probably after owning it for a year. As soon as the warnings appear though, it jumps back up to 90% or whatever. I would pull it off the charger and it would say 100%, but then after 15 minutes of use I would, on a bad day, start getting low battery warnings. The battery level CONSTANTLY jumps up and down. What I have really been struggling with is the battery. The screen has the high-pitched whine a lot (but it seems like the all of them do to some degree, and I have never had the guts to take the screen apart and try to fix it with aluminum foil as posted somewhere here). My relationship with my E2 has been okay, but not great. Let me start by saying this is truly one of the greatest tech-support communities I have been a part of. Even though I only have a few active posts while owning my Tungsten E2 over the past two years, I have enjoyed reading the content on Brighthand and appreciated the help that was given to me by the 'elders' of this forum.
