This is true. It Really Dropped.

I think it has something to do with Nintendo enabling spotpass on the 3ds. It's constantly communicating to find wifi sources to connect to which uses a LOT of battery. I bet none of you would have this problem if you turned the wireless switch off before closing the lid.

My 3ds will not fully charge, orange light is ALWAYS on.

I noticed that the orange light stays on when charging too!
Charged it for 5 hours yesterday and the charger was STILL glowing orange.

me too, what is up with that? Anyone else has this issue?

I have the same issue, even the 2.1.0-3E update didn't fix it.

...why put it in sleep mode overnight? why not just save and shut it down?

just because a device can doesn't mean you have to, and it sure as hell doesn't mean you should. unless you're letting it download stuff online overnight. but really, why not have it plugged/on cradle if you're gonna leave it on overnight?

you all knew battery life on the 3DS is short enough, so why complain? :/


...it's not a mobile phone that you can leave on all day and all night, you know. seriously, i don't get it.
