So the 1st test is done, here are the results
Set up: Brightness 3, No sound, Open mh4u, create a Hall with password, switch to the 1st town since it has lots of NPC, basically wifi working all the time
Time: 5:10pm to 8:55pm so about 3hours45mins
If i solo and turn the wifi off, the battery can atleast be played for 4hours and a half or even 5.
So first we can agree that this battery is still rocking right? RIGHT? Good then that's the only reasons why i diminish every "bad battery" suggesting. Can you define a "bad battery" with this play time?
Since there will be some time b4 i can do the 2nd test. Let's do some analysis to see how full of sht gbatemp members are shall we? Let's play a game "Spot the rudeness"
So me and my friend just switch to 10.7 with Reinand (my friend), Aureinand (me cuz bottom screen splash) and somehow the 3ds suddenly wasnt able to hold their charge. One time i left the 3ds turn off (not sleep) for over a day and when turned on it was flashing red. Also i notice that my playtime from full charge to red reduce drastically (mh4u). Is this Reinand fault or 10.7? I used Rxtool 9.5 Emunand before the upgrade and it was fine. Any help appreciate, thanks
Btw, i use quick shutdown homebrew to turn off the 3ds
That sounds like your battery might just be shot. If you leave it on charge too much (like overnight) it can ruin the battery and kill the battery life.
This is my post and
@Crystal the Glaceon reply. I bolded it, this is the thing that came from a technician's mouth. Others alr debunked it so no need for me right? And my answer to her reply fully knowing that she didnt know anything about lion
This is lion battery and i know my stuffs sorry. Me and my friend both have it and we both upgrade at the same time
rudeness count: 0
Batteries can break and this just sounds like a broken battery to me.
I've been using AuReiNAND since she first launched it and I've have not run into a single battery problem. In fact, I just woke up, my 3DS was not on charge the entire night and it's still showing a full battery.
Ok, in my post i use "drastically" in a wrong way and that does indeed suggesting a bad battery but in the next post i state my doubt
so it just breaks in like one week time when it was fine like 3 months ago when i bought it? Also i rarely charge it overnight (maybe 3 times max) and the 3ds can cut the charge when the battery full so there's no overcharge here. Again it's lion battery, pls do your research
I still think she didnt know her stuffs so i told her to do her research. Pretty normal, rudeness count: 0
Why not try a different battery to find out? There could also be something internally wrong with your 3DS.
And I know what a lion battery is, but that doesn't mean it can't break. From what you've described, it sounds like a broken battery to me, from my experience with repairing electronics. I could easily be wrong, but I am not there to physically check the battery for any defects, I am only going off what you are describing.
Edit: All I know is, it's not AuReiNAND that is the issue here.
1st, it didnt break, i can still play like 4 or 5 hours (mh4u) but it feels shorter, and it feel like the battery drain while the console is off. 2nd, distributing what? I'm only asking for help cuz i dont know what cause it, the only lead i have is 10.7 upgrade a week ago
I restate my problem since "drastically" was overdone, "feel" it is more accuracy. Nothing here right? rudeness count: 0
Sorry, my auto correct changed the word "describing" to "disturbing" because reasons.
And I am providing an answer based off what I am reading. I've had well over 10 years of experience repairing electronics. I've seen these kinds of things happen before on phones, laptops, and even other 3DS's and 90% of the time the battery was bad. The other 10% there was a short in the system itself.
Well thanks anyway, i know it's not the battery cuz it can still be played for a long time if use continously but somehow cant hold its charge overnight.
It look like this: Play a whole evening for over 5hours with full charge
Play 1 hour in day 1, 1 hour day 2, 1 hour day 3 for a total of 3. 2 hours gone while console was off
Politeness count: 1, rudeness count: 0, This is my 1st attemp to rule out the "bad battery" problem, then this jacka** came
Don't bother. They won't listen cause they know better than you even though they don't know what it is either.
I know the battery but i dont know what cause it to drain. The only thing you guy have been suggesting is bad battery which i already said it's not the battery. I played for 3 hours now and it still show 3 bars. The fact that it drains overtime while turning off is a mystery
Seriously i sense some hostile toward me but i still managed to reply politely to him. That clearly was meant to mock me and of course i know about MY battery's condition better than anyone else. After that i reply casually to some ppl that do not use "bad battery"
And.......wtf, where is the post when
@Crystal the Glaceon claimed that her battery is still the same after 4 years.....oh she edited it...ok WEll MOVING ON
This is my reponse btw
I stop at the part where you said your battery is the same after 4 years. Nobody gonna take you seriously after that
It could be me paranoid. Maybe me playing 1 hour each time makes it feel shorter, anyway, I'll keep observing to see how thing goes and actualy provide some data
Now you get why i wont take her serious anymore. Me being paranoid is actually a better anwser to "bad battery" seriously.
Then came the almighty
@Ghost Liberator. His post is long so no quote, #41 check that. My reponses were
Finally, someone said something intelligent. Yea feel stupid now after reading your post. Why did i assump that it's a software problem. But then it could be like the poster above you state that the 3ds sometimes cant be turned off properly. Maybe the 3ds was turned off but the wifi card didnt and kept using some battery, do you think that could happen?
This is what im gonna do when i get home:
Full charge the 3ds, open mh4u, create onl room with password,leave the 3ds then count the time it goes from fullcharge to red.
Full charge again, do the exact same thing but 1 hour each, 5 hours between each test to see if leaving it turned off drain any juice. I'll have the data by tmr evening. Until then
Edit: ??????
That finally part can be a bit rude so...rudeness count: 0.5. Boled, im open to any reasonable opinions and advice. I'm a scientist (kinda), provide me a good evident then i will listen willing to correct myself. THEN somehow came THIS
EDIT: if you want to check things fast, fully charge your 3ds and have your friend's 3DS fully charged too, remove the batteries and check with a tester, if the tester shows that your batter has less volts than the one from your friend, then say goodbye to some money, the battery is not in a good condition and buying a new one is what you need to do
Do all of these tests, then fully charge your 3ds and check when turned off, write your results, then ask your friend to do the same, 3ds fully charged and check with a tester, of course it could be a pain in the ass to check the battery every one hour with a tester. if that doesn't work, make the same process, but instead of checking with a tester turn the console on and then off ever 1 hour, if your 3ds gets to red BEFORE your friends 3ds could be a bridge. Lastly, swap the batteries and check, if by then YOUR FRIENDS 3DS gets to red before yours then it's a battery problem, and if that's the case APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO HELP YOU
What do you mean by tester? English is not my native so i dont know of it's some kind of tools or smt.
I cant do all of that cuz my friend live faraway. The only thing i can do is to test if the 3ds drain the battery while turning off.
If it's not the battery then what? Why should i apologize when so far nobody has been "tried" to help rather than just a "your battery is bad no matter what you say and fix it noob". Ofc some poster dont know and just want to be helpful, but those that ignore all my post and just keep forcing their "opinion" on me is worst.
Btw, try to find a bad battery with 5hours mh4u playtime
So i snapped........................
Until this point, since when did i show any rudeness to people that has been commenting? i dont even reply to most people here. From here on somehow it's just turn into a different discussion. Less focus on the helping but rather to make me look like a bad guy
If you read the thread somehow you get that feeling that i was being rude, heck even i sense it but i can explain that. Imaging you are student that know your teachers teach smt wrong and you want to correct it, the problem is that your classmate dont know anything either so they take the teachers side and tell you to shut up. You snap and the conversation got heated then you get where i came from. You are the one at fault for challenging the teachers
This time it's an unknown guys that got cocky and think that he knows better than a technician when it comes to battery and challenge him...... Ok she was helping and i showed my appreciations, still wrong is wrong, im just pointing out.
You guys can stop playing the victim game now, the only rude one here is @Xenoxaiga when he started it on the 1st page and i handled it pretty well already, and maybe
@Ghost Liberator for accusing me, dont know if he read the whole thing.
Anyway, battery life still good, maybe it's just me paranoid bc playing a little bit here and there make me lose my sense of time. As for my friend....he probably was thinking the same since we are best friend
)))
BTW, IM A TEACHER...will be.....
edit:
@Ghost Liberator I saw your post but dont want to reply, if you are not one of those fake technician then sure, didnt assump you were anyway
