I like low-power mode, but...
Its unstable. Not only wifi goes down, but most processes which been left running sometimes may go crazy.
Its just totally useless when you use you pandora as music player. I never tried, but 14Mhz seem too low for anything to play. On other ARMs i got, music stops being beautiful at ~150Mhz, and finally dies at ~90Mhz.
You cant just go eject the battery, as that may corrupt data. And as i understand, it does not unmount the SD cards, meaning they cant be removed either.
I dont say we should remove it, but i am saying that nothing should force the user to stay in this mode.
I ask to remove the "i cant imagine why anyone needs it" HOLD button, and make a secondary power button, so the user can choose if he wants "LP - Halt" "Halt - Reboot" or "LP- Reboot".
As well, as making the switch more protected. Its very common for my pocket to wake up the OP, and start draining the battery faster.
And i dislike that charging requires main CPU to be up. There should be some separate charging management for this.
Some people are very used to shutdown the device if they want it to charge faster.
Also, a full discharge SHOULD NOT be a trouble for the user. I didnt check, but does OP hold the time when it got no power? (For ex. battery removed)
Full discharge, is a thing we will get here and there. Sometimes we forget to charge things to 100%, sometimes we use it too actively...
And when the time of "Warning: Battery level is less than 5%" comes, alot of people goes "No, you are not taking away my music... not now... please". (I used to swear a lot when my Bada phone didnt let me use the media player below 10%)
More than that, when the system gets down because of the dead battery, some dudes, go shake the device, and try turning it on, to enjoy 10 more seconds of "i almost opened the media player!" before the screen goes black, getting the battery totally drained. Its more common than you think.
Another trouble, which could probably be fixed with the new case design, is that the battery is too small for the slot its been made for.
It may disconnect, because the cover doesnt hold it, and that maybe fixed with some spare paper.
But not only this, the slot is wider and taller than the battery is.
Any shock. Including the classical "i just thrown it on the bed".
Its not funny when it transfers few gigs between the cards, and suddenly stops because "i am holding it wrong", like it did yesterday.
We should make sure that the new case, fits the battery better than OP.
Anyone got any opinion?
