Device loses power when it is turned off?? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi
I have just downgraded to the original 1.06 MDA3 ROM on my BA (had some problems with 1.40) and i have just noticed a very strange thing: When i turn my PDA off, it loses about 2-3 percent per hour of battery (and i have my SIM card out (flight mode is not on), so it can not be the phone... if i put my sim card back and turn phone on, i get the same thing)... and it is weird, i never had this before. I think i did not have it on 1.40 ROM - maybe it is the ROM's fault?...

i think i'm having the same thing, but i'm not 100% sure. i think i had my battery die on me, and it was fully charged this morning. really wierd taht's for sure. i only used GPRS for about and hour total, and was 30% near 4pm today, and after that, dead. i come to turn it back on, it was hard resetted i didn't hit power AND reset at the same time. now i gotta do everything over; and i lost my 400,000+ point game of bejeweled . boooooo

Battery Issues - now resolved...I Hope!

Hi,
I recently had a problem with my XDA2s. I though I'd post what happened here so people could a) Perhaps explain to me what the hell happened, b) know what to do if they have a similar problem.
I took my O2 XDA2s out of my pocket and it wouldn't turn on. My immediate reaction was to hard reset it. This also had no effect. I even tried entering boot loader mode out of sheer desperation. It appeared it was D E A D.
I tried putting it on charge and it still would not turn on. Fearing I was in for a trip to my local O2 shop and the usual "umm....ahh....thats strange....replacement time will be 3-4 working years" etc. I started to compose an Email to O2 support. I had left the device on charge.
Low and behold after 5 minutes the device pinged at me. i looked over to see and it had come back on. It had hard reset. It seems something had caused both batterys to *Completely* Discharge. It took 5 mins of charging just to get enough power to come on (is my best guess).
Has anyone had this problem? Can anyone explain why? It's charging now very very slowly. Hopefully when its charged it will be ok.

Had the same thing on my XDA2. Thought the thing was knackered but it cam back to life after a few minutes on charge. I've noticed that my XDA2 will not switch off by itself when set to do so ("Turn off device if not used for" and I have it on 2 minutes). The thing just doesn't switch off
The setting to lower the backlight works fine, as does the Alarm in the morning so I think the timer is working.
Any clues anyone?

TP2 starting to do strange things on standby

I thought it just a one off, but it's now happened a few times, I leave my TP2 over night, it show 80 or 90% battery, then when I get up in the morning and check my phone, it says there is an error to report with Opera.exe then when it's cleared the battery is low.
and now twice I have gone to check my phone and found it's turned off completely, then when I turned it on it says there is 10% battery, when the night before it had been charging in the car and before gong to be had shown at least 90%.
Any ideas ???? have I got a faulty battery?
I have quite a similar problem. Sometimes, my tp2 won't wake up after charging. I have to do a soft reset with the stylus to get it running again. My battary doesn't get drained though... don't know what the problem could be...

I think the device has a few isssues which we hope the WM 6.5 upgrage will resolve. I have a vodafone TP2 and anytime i slide open the keypad i get an error message "cprog.exe has stopped working". I am sure other users out there are facing similar issues.
interesting. Mt T-Mo version (that I've had since August 14th) hasn't had a single problem like that... yet (fingers crossed)
last night's shutdown happened while the charger was actually plugged in and the charge light was on, this morning I unplugged it and the phone was off, did a reset to start it and found there was only 10% battery life.
VERY ODD.
Sadly I think it's unlikely that HTC and Vodafone will be able to come to any aggreement to let us officially upgrade to WM 6.5. There's an firmware upgrade on the vodafone site but there's confusion over what it does when the version number is out of sequence to what is installed already.
I've seen the touchflo3D 2.5 youtube vids which look good BUT even if we could get an official release Vodafone will probably want to mess up the icons and colour to brand it again, just for us the end user to spend hours trying to undo their screwing around.
I'm not very optamistic about an upgrade amd I don't want to start installing cooked roms yet as the TP2 is still under warranty and it's my business phone.
Same Here
Mine sometimes doesnt charge however its plugged in & it shuts down itself & keeps restarting automatically with some other similar above issues!! HTC has to know that!
no such things in my pro2
Just had the very same thing happen to me this morning, so it's good to know I'm not alone.
Yesterday, I found my phone was dead, though I was sure it had enough battery life. I put it on the charger and turned it back on.
It was on the charger all night; the battery light was green. When I unplugged it from the charger, I tried to turn it on [from stand-by/locked mode], and the battery light kept flashing, but nothing would happen.
I only was able to get it on by plugging it back into the charger. When it came on, it had 60% battery life, even though it supposedly had 100% just two minutes before (and wasn't even on).
So thanks for mentioning it.

I might have killed my Battery (FIXED...for now)

Hey Guys,
I am running the Cell Pro 9.5 ROM and since yesterday my phone doesnt turn on.
So this is what happened, I never got a chance to recharge my phone yesterday and so I used it to the very last bit of juice. The phone kept switching itself off with the critical level battery warning and I kept turning it back on. So it got to a point where it wasn't switching on at all. So I pluged in the phone to the computer to charge and left it there for approximately an hour (the orange charging light was on), came back and tried to switch the phone back on and it didnt respond at all. Took out the battery, tried the soft reset button etc and everything else I thought of with no luck. So I plugged it back on and suddently it turned back on, did the boot up, loaded the touchflo and I saw the battery level was at "0" and then suddenly it turned of with a "tuck" sound (similar to a PC when you hold down the power button or turn the power off without shutting down). This has been repeating since then, I have left it plugged in and every 5-10 minutes or so the phone switches on by itself and shows the boot screen, go all the way till HTC animation and powers off suddenly. I have had no luck in turning the phone back on, I dont what is causing the issue - wether its the battery or the phone.
Please give me your thoughts....I am completely lost without my phone...
- issue was that the phone kept restarting as soon as the battery stored enough charge for a reboot. I pulled out the battery at one of the restart cycle as advised below and stopped it from repeating it. After that the phone let the battery charge without a restart, did not mess with it for a long while.
Never let the battery drain all the way down to 0%. Not sure if it affects the battery, but it sure will give you enough hassle that you wont repeat it.

The same thing happened to me last night... but mine works now. what I thought it was is that it kept turning on as soon as it had enough battery to do so then it would die and repeat... So every time it would turn on
I would take the battery out and let it charge some more and then when it quit turning back on I left it overnight and now its on...

Ok....I will try that and report back....
Sorry you pull the battery then the cord then put the battery back in then cord. Also it will take a lot longer if you charge it on the computer.
Never mind mine quit working again...

I managed to get it charging after pulling out the battery and putting it back again. Charged it through a computer cause i dont have my charger with me.
I turned it on and the battery said 40% and now every second or so it is dropping by 1%. I can literally watch it dropping down sitting here. The phone doesnt want to charge when it is on. I plug in the usb and the LED turns orange and then turns off. Now the battery is at 25%, This is litterally in about a minute or less. I dont know whats wrong, is it the Battery?
I had this exact same thing happen to me twice on previous HTC hardware (wizard). The first time I couldn't save it and just had to buy a new battery. However, the second time it happened I was able to resurrect it once I got it plugged into a higher-current charging source, like the wall charger it came with, or even most car chargers (that's how I saved it when I couldn't get to my wall charger). I had to let it sit on there for about an hour before it held enough charge to stay on, and another 2 hours before it was fully charged, but it worked just fine after that.
You battery may indeed be toast from what you describe. I have had the experience of totally discharging the battery and the device not coming on at all. I recommend that if you do this, you should fully charge it using the wall charger NOT the computer (if the computer works at all. it didnt in my case). I have done this a few times now and the battery turned out fine each time.

Thanks.....
My issue seamed to be fixed. I had to rely on a computer as I didnt have access to my charger and by the time I did my phone was at approximately 65% charge. I plugged it in and charged it all the way to 100%. Replugged it and left it for a little more while to make sure it got charged completely. I have been using it since today morning 9am and now it is 2pm at 73% after couple of calls, messages and emails.
Few more charging cycles with the wall charger and I am hoping it will be back to normal.

[Q]

hello! yesterday i went to the beach. i know it was really hot [but not above 60 C] but i kept my phone in the bag and shut down because it didn't have any energy left.when i got home something appeared on the screen and it said something like this: reboot, shut down and something else i can't remember. i think i pressed reboot first time and then shut down. i tried to turn it on but it didn't work. when i recharged it the phone turned on. i wrote some msgs, i talked on the phone, it was alright. this morning i took the phone with me in my bed, at around 9 o'clock and it didn't have anything. i slept till 10 o'clock when i woke up the phone was again turned off.after many tries, it turned on but the touch screen wouldn't work and the battery couldn't charge. now its turned off and i don't know what else tot do. is it the battery? do i have to buy a new one?
sorry for any language mistakes but my native language its another.
thank you so much for any upcoming answers.
There is orange led when the phone is charging ?
When its charging, yes. So.. sometimes. I tried a factory reset just now:it turned on but then.. nothing. Its turned off again. Do I have to make a soft reset? I don t have warranty.
Take out the battery and leave it to cool for a couple of hours. Then charge it (while powered off), leave it again to cool and then use it

Note II Network Issue

Hello all, I've had my Note II (4.4.2 Stock) for 2 years without much bother, but today it has started acting up. Being low on data and wanting to conserve battery I kept it on flight mode and then turned it back to normal every hour or so. So today when I got home it happened to drop but onto a soft carpet, not a big issue. The phone rebooted itself after this as it does when it's dropped and the battery doesn't fall out. So I waited for it to turn on and I almost immediately turned it back off for it to charge before I went off to gym. About 20 minutes later I came back and checked the battery to see that it was well above halfway already. I suspiciously turned it on and unplugged it and watched 65% battery go all the way down to 14% which doesn't bother me much as that was probably its actual charge level. I turned off flight mode and waited for the mobile data icon to appear so I could reply some messages. It didn't. I waited a few more minutes before the H+ icon appeared, the up arrow flashed and then it switched to 3G and went off again. It's done this every few minutes since then. I've tried everything except factory reset. Any suggestions?
