I have too this problem...

[rYcE]

did u install the sound version or the no sound version?

[mh7]

hmm... I have only no sound version :/

[spacemartin]

and i found something even worse ---that is the "battery charge cycle" , after play snail ,it turns from 14*-->18*, wow??will it cause battery failure finally?

i am afraid of snails.....though it is the best game i've ever seen in the palm...

i use vision 1.2 with sound vision

I also have the same problem. I purchased the snails game and the solitaire game,both of them from the developers PDAMILLS.And they both give me the battery failure problem.I have deleted them and re-installed them,and still get the battery error.Any other suggestions would be helpful.............

Common problem ... me too ... I gave up on this program because of it. It must be doing something really funky with the HW to cause that type of alert... be interested to see if anyone has diagnosed it. Snails looked really good too....

I asked this in another thread (I think in the gaming section): Has anyone tried the latest release on the NZ90 to see if it corrects the battery issue?

Trial Version Snails Version 2.1 "snails480x320NS.prc" HERE (http://files.pdamill.com/snails480x320NS.prc)

EXE trial package download HERE (http://files.pdamill.com/snails_trial_palm.exe)

EXE trial package secondary download site HERE (http://www.pdamill.com/files/snails_trial_palm.exe)

I'll be starting a new job after Labor Day, and imagine my delight when I found out the PDA I'll be issued is a new-in-box NZ90! I don't want to be Snail-less, so imagine my complete SHOCK when I read reports of this Snails/battery issue!

Someone give that new version a try and report back the results! Lupeez rule!

Snails HOMEPAGE (http://snailsgame.com/)

***EDIT***
Total coincidence: Just got an email from PDAmill saying that this issue has NOT been resolved, but they're "working on it".

*sniff!*

I still wonder if it's possible to just block off certain pins on the NZ90 battery to prevent the "SmartLithium" feature since that's the reason for the camera flash issue, and probably this snail issue as well.

[WirelessAndy]

You think with this many smart people around, someone would come up with a hack to disable/manage the Info/Smart/Whatever Lithium system that Sony uses.

I mean hey, if someone could write a work-around for the audio issue...! Alas, I'll bet the smart charging/infolithum is a much more complex issue.

[okinox]

I face the same problem a few times. And now the battery smartlithium property shows false values. For 60% says 0 minute to charge. The battery stand-by capacity decreased remarkably.

30% powers even not on my nz90 :(

is it a software problem?
any idea?

[tester1979]

wow looks like i need to avoid snails and luckily i do not have the games.....i am more to bejeweled2

[okinox]

After a hard reset, everting looks fine...
