Battery Issues.

jdoge13 · 12-02-2007, 11:28 AM

Is anybody else having battery issues since upgrading to the new firmware? I turned it off one night with half battery then the next day it claimed it was out of battery. When i pluged it up, it "remembered" that it had half battery and worked just fine. This happens all of the time. Any tips/people having the problem since upgrade?

Mine seems to jump around sometimes but it's never said it was too low or anything. It was at half when I went to bed and then when I woke up it was like 3/4's the way full.

i actually talked to a zune rep today, and he told me some tricks there have been some reports of people having bad battery life since the firmware update. so restart your zune, aka press down and back, then let the battery run all the way down to where it's dead, then act like you just got a new electronic hand-held and recondition the battery so full charge, type of deal. i forget how he said to recondition it, but i'm sure someone else will clarify it for me :P. he said there's been a few other problems too most of it can be fixed either restart or reformat your zune. if you want more details send me a message.

one thing I have been hearing is if the zune goes into sleep mode or whatever, and wifi is still on, the zune keeps looking for a wireless signal. So if your not using wifi, just shut it off.
