How to solve battery problems on the simvalley RX-80 / Hyundai MB-105 Chico
I own a simValley RX-80 which is the same as the Hyundai Mobile MB-105 Chico). I really like it, as I can use it to make phone calls and I especially like its formfactor (a little smaller than a credit card).
However, I had continous problems with my battery. Even after I got a new battery, battery life did not improve, but it even got worse. So I checked the wiring and found the problem, which is really easy to solve. But still, you have to realize the problem in order to fix it.
If your phone suddenly turns off, open the back cover and fully reinsert the battery wiring which attaches the battery to the phone. With a little bit of luck, this will solve the problem. I just don’t get why this was build this way.
The picture shows the relevant part:
Hope this helps

Hi my name is Mike (UK). I am an electronic student doing my research on my final year project. I just wanted to know more about the Pico RX-80 espicaelly the speed dialling feature.
What type of speed dial feature does the phone have?
Is it the one where you press the speed dial then the number you are trying call turns up on the screen then you press call/dial button
OR is it a direct dial using ONE hot dial button?
Thank you.

Hi Mike,
I am sorry to get back to you so late. I had trouble with my ISP.
There is no speed dial feature. If you have stored a number, you need to go through the phonebook (as in search for the name).
