Phone shutting of at 5% after Tango?

[CDG]

I have never had my Lumia shut off on me and I have gone down to 5% many times but it did today.

I was starting to panic not knowing if it would start backup again or not. I plugged in, it lit up and showed the battery symbol for a couple of minutes and then booted up just fine.

I am wondering if this is a safety net due to the complaints about not booting up after a completely drained battery.

Anyone else notice this?

Anyone want to try?


Thanks much

I'm thinking this is part of the tweaks to help with the problems of not booting up when there is a full drain. For Windows, this is normal to do, it hibernates at the default 5% to prevent a deep drain. Drains that are deep are pretty harmful from what I can understand to Li-on batteries. Anyways, were you able to drain less than 5% before is what you are saying?

Yes I was able to. I think the lowest was 3% and the phone didn't shut off.

Yes, this IS becuase of the Tango update. I just completely drained my battery about 30 minutes ago. And instead of the phone constantly trying to boot you get the "dead battery" logo for about 5 minutes instead of 30 seconds before it will try to boot.

Here are the release notes:
"There are also enhancements to the performance of the startup sequence - most notably providing a more reliable boot sequence following a full depletion of the battery"
