cell phone question

[rh71]

When you replace your phone's battery with a brand new one, do you lose your address/phone book ? I don't have another battery yet to find out.

 

[brunswickite]

dont think so

 

[FoolishMcNasty]

you shouldn't...if you do, it is another issue.

 

[Mr N8]

no, otherwise you would lose it every time your battery died

I know older phones like my old Nokia had some numbers stored on the phone (SIM card in my case) and more could be stored on the battery. So when I took it out, I DID lose those numbers.

But newer phones will keep them on board.

As long as the phone is somewhat new (what model) you should not, I can tell you for sure with the model number..Sean....Cingular CSR

I have yet to let my battery die all the way. Once it starts warning me to recharge, I turn the thing off completely because I've always been afraid of losing my contacts list.

I have two batteries for my cell phone and when I do a battery swap, all the information is still retained by the cell phone.

Shouldn't. Kinda like if your PSU blew or if you had a 12 hour blackout, your data is stored on your hard drive not your PSU....

You won't lose anything, unless the darn phone is 14 years old or something. . .

Eh? Stored on the battery?

 

[QTPie]

that's weird.
I swapped the battery with my friend all the time when my phone ran out of battery.

Cell phones use CMOS technology....You won't lose the settings unless you clear them out.

Never had a problem with the battery out on both my Samsung A500, and S105.
