Phone dead again
May. 22nd, 2007 08:52 amEven looked at it last night. Had a charge.
Spoke to Madame Tromboni just awhile ago---and the cell showed as drained.
Again. I checked this last night! It wasn't even half way down!
Need to buy a new battery---tempted to bite the bullet and go for a new phone.
This one is so easy to set off---by that I mean it triggers some of the Sony Internet / Walkman features when I DON'T want them. The ones that I suspect drain the battery.
And yes, I've set the keypad lock. It stops me from using the Recent Calls and Menu button---until I swivel it open.
But I've still found other functions running when I pull it out of my bag.
This has been THE worst phone!
Anyway. Work phone is [in the UC Davis Directory].
Poop.
And it shut down a minute ago----just as I was copying down needed numbers from the call log---and it shut down just as I brought up the repair man I needed to call today. GAHHH!
Yeah, I can look up his number. Will need to call him to give him today's contact info. He was going to meet with me "sometime after work, would give me a call before he left."
Stupid phones.

[first post this morning at 8am] Reach me via IM (aim or yahoo), work phone, sbc or gmail. Hell, my work email if ya got it.
gah. Not today.
UPDATE: OK, phone apparently did a fast battery drop (damn you Sony!). It seems to be recharging.
The cool thing, is it is charging off of 4 AAA. A little looks-cheapy thing Mr. Snuffy picked up to test. Comes with a case--well it's essentially a small case just big enough to hold 4 AAA batteries. There is a hole to plug in the adapter head---and it comes with 5 adapter heads. So, no you are probably not going to walk around with this thing charging.
But it seems to be working! I still hate Sony, but apparently the battery and phone are not totally dead.
And the instructions on the package:
JURY CHARGER FOR PHONE
A: meet phone charger
B: triephone used reainaility used 60 minute (presume this means leave it on the charger for 60 minutes)
C: as temporarily cell may wait for 3-5 hours (meaning this isn't going to be a big charge).
D: once cell charger (this will use up those 4 little batteries).
Yes, I should have a charger at work---but this is lovely for an emergency. If this work, going to buy another and a set of batteries for the faire season.
UPDATE It's alive. Was recharged by the time I got out of my meeting. COOL!!
Definitely going to get another to bring on the road.
