Battery Questions
From what I have read everybody seems to be able to get 3 hours or more from their Axim with the otp mAh battery that shipped with the unit, I'm guessing this is with the processor running at full speed (Power Save disabled), but at full charge my battery Axim X30H tells me that I have 2 H 27 Min. of usable life remaining, this is usually correct. Do I have the runt of the battery pack?

I would say that most set their processor to auto, and not at max speed.

This will make a difference in your battery life.

Thanks, I understand that I was just making sure. I didn't know if what I was reading was given that it was set to auto or to max. Thanks again.

Welcome.

Even when I am running several programs at once I don't move it off auto. It will determine if more processor power is needed and step up accordingly.

Some programs somewhy don't boost it (for example, GCC compiler, and it needs _lots_ of processor time).
