Zire 71 to V36 PPC - backup battery on PPCs die out fast when "off"?
I just got a Viewsonic V36 PPC and I'm excited that Xcom the game is coming out for it's platform. I've owned a Zire71 for less than a month prior to it.
Now, I read some of the manual, know how to sync and all that jazz, even loaded up some good games on my V36.
Here's the problem :
My Zire71 has as much life as I leave in it. I turn it off, it can be turned on days later with the same battery life and at the exact same state. It has a better brighter screen (although a bit smaller in size) and can stay on for more hours.
I turn off my V36, for a little bit less than a day. Turn it back on, dead. I start charging it and turn it on, all my saved information and apps gone, and I'm back to the Welcome screen.
Instructions say 8 hrs usage with backlight off, so every 8 hrs a PPC dies and you lose all info? That's a bit harsh.
Hopefully I'm just confused because I got used to my Palm. :lol:
