I dont know if this is common, but my XDA IIs hard resets itself even when I remove the battery momentarily to change sim card. This happens even when the device has just been removed from the charger after having been there for ages (just in case ;-) ).
This is majorly annoying since it means I cannot swap sim cards away from my PC (since a restore is necessary afterwards). I know I can restore from my phone, dont tell me that, its the useless internal battery that bothers me.
I agree!
If the battery is out for about 6 seconds, it's done!
Or, the unit is ON, and the battery falls out... INSTANTLY!
Terrible!
Dumbest design I have ever seen!
The most annoying thing is that when i was trying to do a hard reset once by removing the battery, it wouldnt go! It lasted its full quoted 20 minutes!
I suppose youve just gotta be prepared with a fresh backup beforehand, grrr.
The internal battery is so that it doesn't do a hard reset and wipe everything off of the volatile memory when you pop the battery out; it's not designed to keep your device on when you pop the battery off.
I know that, but it doesnt even do what you said.. (most of the time)

I haven't had a problem with mine; I can keep it out for a few minutes without issue.
Hi:
When I turn on Flight Mode (the phone is off) and when I close all programs before removing the battery, my PDA2K just does a soft reset, not a hard one.
Hope this helps.

Try to check if the backup battery works right... I had this kind of problem when my backup battery didn't work...
Yes, same thing happens with me. This has one permanent solution, upgrade to WM5.

help replacing backup battery
Hello all, I need help replacing the backup battery, and, what type is it?
moving house again, cant find the book.
Also from my previouse Psion Organiser days it was always better useing NEWS PAPER to clean the battery BUT DONT TOUCH IT! use plastic tweezers if you can, and clean the inner contacts with news paper or similar.

It's a boggo standard lithium cell, maxell 1602 or summat, 3v w/tags costs about 3? Open the unit up, peel back the conductive tape, remove the shielding and it's out.

Hi all
I have a problem with my blue angel - when i disconnect the main battery (even for 1 second) it hard resets. It's strange because in the settings->Power the backup battery shows as fully charged.
So what should i do? Is it a faulty backup battery or what? And if it is how can I replace it?
Thanks for your answers!
I'm having exactly the same problem and getting sick of my blue angel, i use it for my sat nav and it's annoying to lose all s/w and settings
can anyone help??

Two options
1. Upgrare to w5 or w6 to advoid data lost when battery got trouble.
2. Use backup, such as spb back up and shceduled (everyday) backup, then you never lost your data and sw
Yes it is possible to replace backup battery as I had to change mine from my old broken xda iis < it was a little tricky job to remove the cap which holds the battery in its place securely, once you release the cap change the battery ( make sure you insert the new battery with correct polarity) and re insert the cap .
Takes 10 minutes thats only if you can release the cap without damaging any bits on the board. Just take your time dureing this process.

You forgot to mention.... Make sure to replace with proper "Rechargeable" Battery.
Where is the backup battery located on an SX66 BA? Where can one get one without spending a lot?
Thanks in advance.
Backup Battery
OK. I finally found some pictures of the HTC Blue Angel completely disassembled. Go here:
http://www.land-of-kain.de/ppc/mda3/disassembly/
It shows something that looks like a battery with a piece of silver tape. I assume this is the backup battery.
I am running a fantastic version of WM6.1 that is extremely stable and fast.
I've increased the memory available to 60MB (see the BA Wiki's upgrading to WM5 instructions). While WM6.1 does store your contacts and other info in non-volatile memory (i.e., it won't be erased if you battery goes dead), there are some passwords for internet settings, etc. that are not saved. So if my battery falls off (mine always does), I often have to add the password to connect to my carrier and I have to re-enter my password for the my push email. I believe I would not have to enter either if the backup battery was working. So I'm trying to figure out how to do it.
I found some of the backup batteries for $5.00 but one has to make a $35 minimum purchase. I'm still probably going to do it.
you can buy them from most shops - just make sure you buy the right type -
it would be this: http://www.onlybatteries.com/webimages/images/15293.jpg
or this : http://img.en.china.cn/0/0,0,394,2136,340,374,11fad816.jpg
The top one is CR2032

good luck, hope you get it working

I've opened my i-Mate PDA2K and the battery turns out to be an LR55 (aka AG8), judging by the dimensions (11x2mm).
The trickiest part about getting access to the battery was the battery cap. It twists in place but that doesn't do anything. I had to pry it open using a small knife as a lever against the component to the right of the, but that seems to have unglued the whole battery+cap ensemble from the PCB. I have no idea if the device will still work after I replace the battery.

Looking at your photos it seems you have took aout all the pieces.
If you see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501989&page=11 you'll realize there are two pieces: the cap with three labels and the "small saucepan" where the batt properly is. And that should remain attached (soldered) at the mainboard. So, perhaps you have unsoldered something you shouldn't.
And the battery is the V18HRT, also known as V20HR ("V" because is Varta company). I bought one through ebay.
Good luck
Sigh. This is also my problem as my old Xda2s and HP iPaq both require internal battery replacement - Varta V18HRT. Is there a substitute for this considering its quite hard to find this Varta battery? And if one knows, where does one find this Varta battery in Manila.
Use a Varta V20HR to replace V18HR backup battery

I know this is an OLD thread, but I thought I would post regardless.
There is a suitable and AVAILABLE Varta NiMH button cell for our HTC Blue Angel smartphones. The Varta V20HR is a slightly higher capacity battery (20ma vs 18ma), same diameter and only super slightly thinner (2.25mm vs 2.3mm). The small difference in height should NOT make a difference as the backup battery cell holder is a spring tension design. I have order a couple of these (under $5 each) and will be undertaking the replacement once my order arrives.
Wow
I have found out that looks like the MBU20 also replaces the V20HR so it can be another option. I am going to try that one as I am in Europe and it seems all the V20HR available are in the US. It has a Nominal capacity of 20 mAh.
Here is a link for the MBU20 saying it replaces the V20HR: http://www.master-instruments.com.au/products/59150/MBU20.html
It has same measurements as the original V18HRT as you can see in the datasheet from Varta: http://www.varta-microbattery.com/applications/mb_data/documents/data_sheets/DS55802.pdf
And those MBU20 are quite cheap in Europe. I will post here an update. I still have my original Blue Angel going strong and 5 more as backups that I am working on making them nice again. I am glad I took them out of the drawer
Hi guys,
I want to replace my battery. I have seen a few quides. Can someone tell me please what is the sticker that is attached on the battery itself that has the "X8 Mobile Computing System" on it? I am asking cause the majority of EX34 battery replacements don't come with that on. So, will it be easy to take it off from the original and put it back on the new one? Thanks!
It's the NFC antenna, be careful not to unplug it if you don't have to, and if you do make sure it's connected well afterwards. The adhesive is fairly strong so you should be good for tranferring it to the new battery, but be gentle removing it as not to tear the antenna
So Lets say I have had my Note 7 for 15 months and the battery is declining in its capacity to hold a full charge or that it is just not good any more. Question, so in order for me to replace the battery, I would have to send the phone back to Verizon or Samsung? What about my information? Would I have to factory reset it before sending back to replace battery? What other issues might be involved? Cost? I am curious how these issues would be handled by Verizon or Samsung. I welcome your comments!
Before your warranty is out just find a reason to send it in for a replacement. Whether it be inaccurate GPS or Bluetooth connectivity issues. I've had similar problems in the past and they will replace your phone if you have issues with either as both can have issues in the long run depending on how hot the phone gets when charging, etc or just general hardware issues overtime.
Wont you be getting a refurbished phone then? Also does anyone know if samsung replaces your battery or screen does it come back with warrenty for water and dust proof?
Which is better? Your used unrefurbished battery dying phone or someone else's used refurbished phone with a good battery? The latter.

So I am guessing that it is advisable to do a factory reset before you send in the phone for a battery replacement?
Always do a factory reset before sending your phone in. You never know whose going to repair or check your device, and they also require the password to be off, no google account lock etc
Just bring it to a reputable repair shop to change it out. I do galaxy s6 after liquid damage or if they used a cheap charger and it grief their battery.
Hi,
My m9 has an issue with the battery. Basically when the battery gets down to 20% the phone may die at any point. Sometimes goes all the way down to 0% but just as likely to die at 20%.
Is the battery effed or is there a way to fix this ?
How hard is it to swap out a m9 battry?
It's definitely the battery age, it's not very hard to swap but I don't recommend to swap by your own if you don't know what that means, one wrong move and you can damage the phone.
My battery died the same way. It's a sign you need a new one. From what I've been told, you're best paying a professional to change it as the phone is quite sensitive. Just make sure you know if anything doesn't work before you hand it over.
Yeah, that's a sign of needing a new one. It's not really easy to swap it. You need a steady hand and the proper tools. Also you have to be very careful with the details, cause as everything is glued up, trying to pry something can easily break something else.
From my experience, the youtube videos that show how to replace it are not really accurate. They show replacing it only when the adhesive is already removed, which can cause you problems not knowing where the adhesive is and how to remove it. I screwed up a few parts prying the battery
Gladly almost everything is modular.
UPDATES:: Got a new battery, did a practice run on an old m9 model that was already FUBAR, swapped battery fine, made no difference at all to the situation. yay!!
