Audiovox SMT 5600 vs. Lower Manhattan
My wife and I were in New York City on vacation last week and
we decided to split up for 3 hours one afternoon. I decided to
head for lower Manhattan and she decided to stay up at 82nd
street to go to the Met. I went to college in lower Manhattan
and I wanted to revisit my old neighborhood as well as visit
the WTC. I used my Smartphone to check my email on the way to
the 86th street station. I was going to take the express train
all the way down to the City Hall station. I had charged my
phone earlier that day to roughly 2/3s of full power. I
stepped out of the subway at City Hall and my phone was dead.
I couldn't turn it on. I took out the battery, put it back in,
and tried a few other things. Nothing worked. Luckily Cingular
stores are about every 2 block in Manhattan, so I stopped in
one and asked her to plug my phone in using the wall charger.
The phone was then able to power up. Once we took it off the
power cord, though, it was dead again. 2 hours later I got
back on the subway and took it to 86th street. I walked to the
Met, bought a hot dog, and sat on the steps to wait for my
wife. On a hunch I took out my phone and pressed the power
button. The phone powered up just fine, and when I went to the
power meter it had about 2/3s of the battery left. Can anyone
explain this truly odd behavior?
