My mom used her Visor (Deluxe) for less than an hour over the past two weeks and she tells me that she got a low battery warning. This used to be my VDX until I won one in a contest, and when the whole DRAM problem was going on, I ran the checker, which said that it had the bug. I install the patch on there and it doesn't have the M after the OS version. After reading that the patch could shorten battery life, I left it on there for a month or two before doing a hard reset and going back to 3.1 (no Hx), which is how it's been ever since. Before I patched it, the battery life was "normal." What could be the cause of this problem? Anyone experience something like this?

Also, I ran the QuickBits benchmark on it and it gave me a score of around 101 (not sure what a "normal" VDX is). Could the hard reset have gotten rid of the Handspring tweaks somehow?
