Running on empty / Nokia 5800 running without a battery

Nokia 5800 seems to run a stopwatch application without a battery. Propably waste of your time. See www.creabros.fi for more info.

It simply draws power from the BIOS battery. If you drain it your phone gets bricked, so use at your own risk.

hello the sound on this video is poor! but the video was interesting !

[creabros]

sorry, didn't have a real video camera. Taped it with an old phone and didn't have time to filter the noise out

[claude7777]

it causes a delay. but it works

What is the big deal?

It shows you the time passed from let's say 12:00

If you turn your phone off, the clock is still being counted in your phone using separate smaller battery.

This app is designed to save time from when counting was started and thus cannot be reset by just disconnecting the main battery.

wheew!

ridiculous

[themadouz]

Whats the point of doin' that?

I think that phone uses last energy (milliseconds) to save data for some kind of memory like ram and then you open it, it will load last data to phone from ram and it will count time that was use turning phone on again

And i tried to reach 100h it just started all over again (not on this phone but still :D)

PC has clock in it what will work even if its turned on and i think it will too without power (maybe can be same of phone) :/

Hey every computer (cellphone, PDA etc.) has a clock and small battery on mainboard. When you turn your PC off and on, still there is the correct time! Impossible! :-D
