you have no imagination
let me paint you a picture .. a situation that MIGHT happen.
you are with your buddies.. out on the town.
they grabbed you from your work.. now at a bar.
you are having a great time.. meeting new people.
you find yourself talking to a super model and her friends.
your friends are in another part of the bar.. and don't know what u are doing.
they got to leave.. but you want to take a pic with them
they are in a hurry to another party... invitation only.. you cant go!
they don't like taking pics.. but give in to you.. to take a quick pic.
so you can prove to your buddies.
out comes your smartphone. been having so much fun..
have not seen it in a few hours. you wake it up.. and start the camera.
but wait.. the battery just dropped below 15%.
camera don't work.. NO problem!!! you got your spare battery.
the sexy models are getting up to go...
you pull out your battery.. they look at you funny.
"don't worry, it only take a minute to change battery"
you are taking apart your case.. your hands are fidgety.
damn case!!! the fresh battery drops on the floor.
you pick it up.. get it in the phone.. close the back cover.
girls start walking away.. blowing you kisses and laughing.
your wonder phone finally boots up.. after 10 secs.
you are following them out the door.
your camera app is finally up.. and take a pic of..
a group of women piling into a cab...
of course this does not happen often.. bar.. models.
and your battery drops to low.
but if you could choose to by pass that power savings.
and get that proof to prove to your friends.
a similar situation can happen..
with an accident and you need to take pics..
or your 9 month old baby trying to walk...
your dog doing something very stupid...
your buddy about to propose to his girl..
your son making a huge play in game..
the cost of missing these pictures.. is huge.
I have 2 spare batteries... but i can not predict the future.
and would like to have the option to make a choice .. if i need it.
the few times i MIGHT choose to by pass the safety..
would not do that MUCH harm to that battery. and the cost of a replacement battery..
is such a moot point
