Ok thanks! that is the answer I'm looking for.
I must have done that.
See, with Palms, all you do(on the Zire71 anyway), is press the magic button, and it conserves energy + saves state for many days, battery meter not even moving. With the PPC I'm guessing it was staying "on" and you cannot save state without draining the backup battery, is this all correct?
I will first charge the V36 for like 48 hours then play with the setting. It must not be powering off correctly. Then do this process again. Hopefully it will be as satisfying as the Palm. I wonder if there's a way to completely shut it off manually though?
But, outside of this little mishap there's no question the PPC is an amazing toy, it is much more entertaining(and that's what I need at work, can't use the PC as they monitor it's usage) than any Palm product.
Thanks again.
