MDA Pro turns off all the time Help....

Hi all, i have the mda pro (t-mobile UK) Had tried lots of roms before but in the end i stuck with the latest official t-mobile rom & radio.
In the last few weeks i every time i try to connect with gprs the signal goes, other times the phone just goes dead, wont reboot properly for a few try's( gets to the windows mobile logo then dead again.
After a few try's it will boot up, but it turns off alot i mean just about every time i open up the phone. I thought maybe the battery but when i get it to boot up its fine %70 battery ect ect.
Its still under warrenty and is actual being sent back tomorrow for repair but i have a feeling they will just reflash and send it back as the problem is random.
Anybody any ideas whats wrong? did a hard reset and problem if anything is worse now and seems to be getting worse everyday. Ofcourse i dont know when the phone has went belly up as its closed over when not in use.
I really would like a replacment phone but as i said i think they will reflash and send back. I have to keep sim,battery ect.ect.
Info anyone.

With those symptoms my first thought would be a faulty battery. If i were you, I would insist on returning the battery for replacement as well.

Are Battery's covered under the first years guarantee?
Iam almost sure its the battery also, but the battery holds fine after it reboots, Having said that it never lasts anywhere near 24hrs and never has.

No big deal i will buy a new battery and i got a brand new mda pro again.
Result .....

My Cingular 8525 just went dead!!!!

OK!!!
I need some help here.
I was talking on my phone, and it all of a sudden went dead.
Thinking it was a battery problem, i immediately plugged in my wall charger and saw that the light indicator was not lite.
I then got another battery from my functioning 8525, and nothing.
But the functioning phone worked after battery switch. So i ruled out dead battery as a cause.
I only did a ROM upgrade two days ago, otherwise the phone functioned without any problems.
I'll try to keep the phone on wall charger to see maybe it'll help but i doubt it.
Anyone else have this type of problem.
I'm currently thinking that it's dead, but i don't understand what could have happened.

Have you tried a Hard Reset?

I did soft reset, and even attempted to do a hardreset. several times. nothing. I see purely a blank screen.
What worries me is that when i plug in the wall charger i do not see any of the green or orange lights turn on.
I'm trying to search if there is any way for me to have someone check the phone out?
If the cost of fixing the phone is any where near 200 dollars then i might as well just buy another phone. Something better.
But any advice i'm willing to try short of dropping it off a roof. caz i know then i'll for sure have a dead phone...

Aren't there ideas like taking battery out and plugging into computer, and stuff like that?
I think I read them somewhere on the xda wiki.

IMO.. you should call at&t tech. they will most likely replace it.. and since they cant turrn it on.. they wont know what you did. anyway its a warranty exchange.. but im not sure of the number for at&t's tech department. good luck and keep us posted

I had the same probs 2 months ago...
No lights when charger was connected, hard/soft reset didnt help at all.
After 5 days of trying and trying i brought it to my provider repair center.
After 1 month of waiting they said it was a level 3 problem (highest). In the first case i was ordered to pay 230 Euro but i didnt agree, 3 days later they agree with no cost and i got a new tytn.
I used XCPUScalar.2007.v3.01 and clocked till 500 mhz.. maybe it burned my cpu..
Well good luck!

Now I know why you're not successful at flashing your device with my ROM . Sorry that I misunderstood your message.
You have to send it back for repair.
Sorry, again.

How does that happen?

So maybe i might have over clocked my cpu?
I don't know what could have happened.
I do know i installed Schap's 3.60a ROM but i installed it both of my 8525.
So i don't think it was the ROM upgrade that could have caused it.
In the mean time I'm looking into if HTC can help me here. I don't know how this would work.
I purchased this phone unlocked on ebay, i've asked the seller if he/she can get me the original invoice to prove that the phone is under manufacturers warranty.
I'll see.
As far as AT&T is concerned, i don't know how i should approach them.
But once i get the invoice information I'll be able to do more.

In your case contact HTC, forget about AT&T especially if the phone isn't on your account. You may need to be peristent with HTC as although they prefer to do things via the carriers, there's a direct route as well. They track the warranty status by S/N.
Good luck... that sucks.

Thanks for all the support
This morning, i tried to call up my carrier.
I explained to them what i observed and how the phone just went dead.
I did not mention anything about ROM upgrades (though i was asked if i did anything to the phone) nor did i drop it or dung it in water.
I was fortunate, that the lady was nice and understanding. I was surprised to know that they have all the information based on the IMEI number.
So as it turns out i made the purchase off the internet, in june. According to the lady since i made the purchase in june i was still under warrenty. They would ship out a replacement phone.
So far this is looking good.
I didn't expect it, but i guess AT&T isn't as bad as i proclaim it to be.
But customer service and phone service are two different things.
AT&T customer service has always been nice.
But their call service and internet sucks.
But got the contract so gotta stick w/ them.
ANd i like GSM, and Tmobile really sucks here in NJ and NYC.
So i gotta stick w/ AT&T
Will follow up once i get the replacement.
So far in doing business w/ At&T - they know, so don't try to kid them. Also need not give out more information then they ask. Just answer questions simple and to the point w/a bit of humor.

Very Weird Battery Problem

Hi everyone! (Sorry the bad english)
I have an HTC S621 (Dash) whit a very weird problem.
Some months ago, the battery has become to discharge very fast. Like From 100% to 0 in 35/40 minutes.
But even whit 100% of charge, if you turn wifi on or make a call, the phone turns off in a few seconds. And when I turn it on again, it show 60% charged.
So, wondering its a battery problem, I bought a new one and unfortunately the same problem still happen.
So, someone have the same problem? Can anyone help me? Tanks a lot!

Not strange infact u would have found threadz with exact same issue if searched? new battery solves it "generally".

I am not sure that I understood what you wanted to say, but:
- I bought a new battery > Not Work
- I've search in the forum, have no found some one with the same problem (The people usually solved your problems changing the battery, not work for me)
- I've originaly used an original ROM from HTC, but I try lots of ROMs (WM5, 6 and 6.1) > not work too.
Tanks!

same problem here, but new battery solved it, this is my fourth battery for my dash since 2007...

Herp derp, if a new battery and different ROM's didn't, it's the actual phone.
Lrn2deduct xD

I have tried something different: I have an old nokia phone and the battery is 3,7V/860Ma. It have almost the same size of the Dash battery, is a little small. Well I put her on Dash and works fine for hours. With Wifi, phone and bluetooth on. I set to never power off the backlight and open an internet radio to test and just works fine. The only problem is the battery metter is not show the real state of the battery. It jump from 90% to 89% and stop. After almost 50m it jumps again to 70%, etc..
I wondering if the phone have a problem to charge the battery only. So I have a new questions:
There will be a problem charge the 860Ma battery on S621 to test? The Original has 960Ma. I fear explosions!
Tanks!

My post meant generally a new battery fixes it to which would have found via search, if not then it's hardware related or you baught a duff battery? "has been known to happen with new battery too" also can be found via search
Would not advise using a battery from another phone full stop.
Sounds like your Dash has had it's last dayz

Yea...
I will try two last things... use the warranty to exchange this battery for a new one to be sure that is not a factory problem on her, and buy a standalone wall charger to recharge the battery without the phone.
I need this phone alive a little more time because he belongs in truth to my wife, (I bought a Kaiser for me a few months) and I will not buy a new one for her this days (sorry honey)...
Smartphones like Dash are cheap on North America and Europe but on Brasil they cost around R$ 500,00 ($270,00) and for now is too much for me
Tanks!

If the Dash cost $270.00; how much was the Kaiser?

yea that surely calls for a new Battery !
just this time try to get a high capacity battery like 2200mA/h or something because the standart one is only 960mA/h I got my 2200mA/h with abt 20 $ on ebay which is very cheap ! and it stays a hell lot of time with wifi Bluetooth on...
Boa sorte

My battery just went was a 2009 one, just gonna order the 1300 battery shall be Goood! you probably killed it via charging USB or overclocking on Kavana Build etc or it just smoked itself, My 2008 Made S621 died after months too, 1300 stock size battery online is a good choice for this phone.

A new batter should fix it but if you get the original type it's going to do the same thing. You need a battery that has been produced more recently than the originals.

Im pretty sure its cause i overclocked.... but i wanted a nice new 1300 maH battery whats 30 bucks lol )

[Q] Huge Battery Drain but no wakelocks

How is that even possible?
I have attached 2 screnshoot of a Galaxy Nexus battery drain.
My phone is 100% stock, I just restored the nexus official image. The battery should be new, I already sent the phone to the manufacter last month and I think they changed the battery.
I didn't even setup a google account, no app installed, wifi off and there is good signal.
There are no wakelocks. Screen was off all the time. The battery just go down.
(Some translation. Segnale rete mobile = mobile network signal, Attivo = active, Schermo Acceso = Screen on)
What should I do? Call samsung again and stay another month without my phone? Is there any other solution?

Well, for starters you could let it charge for another cycle or two to be sure about.Also I see the Network reception is not so good.That may be responsible for the drain, though I highly doubt it !

Yes, I'm trying to do some complete charge/discharge.
I have similar result in Airplane mode, network reception is not the problem.
Thanks for the answer. :good:
Anyone else with some advices?

No one?
I don't want to spend another month without my phone because of RMA :crying:

I have the *exact* problem (or at least, similar).
I have RMA'ed my phone 2 times, teling me they had done a "mechanical repair" (in Italian, as per repair center label, "riparazione meccanica").
Don't ask me about the meaning of this. It could be everything, but one thing is certain: serial number of the phone is the same, so they did not change the motherboard at all.
Back to topic, I'm experiencing serious issues:
1) huge battery drain in airplane mode, even after complete stock and several ROMs (the service center restored 4.0.4 on it, funny)
How did I test: the day I received back my phone, I have simply fully charged it, switched to airplane mode overnight and I have lost more than 30% battery with NOTHING at all installed, I even left the wrong date/time !!
2) before RMA'ing it, it did not matter if I used 3G / WiFi or nothing at all: I always got a similar battery discharge curve.
BUT today I noticed something odd:
while testing for the (1) issue above, I noticed that the "Awake" (aka "Attivo") bar under the battery graph was pretty full blue colored, which is NOT normal actually. How can it be after a full wipe (or so, as per after sale service) ????
Let's try to troubleshoot this problem guys, because I'm really fed up
...and I don't want to sell this Nexus, I simply love it hehe
TODO:
1) Wipe and test again -> charging the phone right now
2) analyze dmseg (maybe there is an hardware issue that keeps interrupting the CPU) -> after a quick look it seems that actually my interrupt idea could be true ( "Resume caused by IRQ 39, TWL6030-PIH". This is the power management unit) but I have to see during the airplane mode test, not while charging (that might be correct)
3) measure the current and compare results against a nice study of another guy (that reported power consumption on different scenarios)
4) ??

The same. They changed the battery in my case. I did a mark with a marker pen on the battery before sending it and the mark is not there after RMA, so they changed it. Phone serial is the same.
They also put 4.04 on my nexus, what a shame!
I did not experienced the "active" thing on the battery statistics. I had several wakelock from "RILJ" but after a full restore the disappeared.
I restored (again) the phone with nexus image, and even locked the bootloader, removed the sim card and disabled wifi, gps and everything. It always discharge by itself in a too short period of time.
Is there something I can tell to RMA to make them change my phone? I don't think it's a software problem.

I agree, this must be an hardware problem.
To say, I have tried a long list of ROMs and kernels, as well as updating radio and all other sort of stuff.
Now the awake "problem" has gone, so today I'm gonna retry the (1)st experiment.
Let's see...
In any case tomorrow I'm going to go to the shop and ask them if they could be so gentle lending me a fresh battery to test out.

Some clues here?
http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...drain-since-i-started-using-wifi-hotspot.html
I don't know if it might be related or not, did you ever use tethering?
Pernsonally speaking, yes I did.
Today I try to wipe radio and flash another one...

No, I never used tethering.
My phone is at RMA again, I asked to fix it FOR REAL, I'm just hoping.

I've had a similar experience since first getting the phone. While with light usage, I used to get anywhere between 16 hours to a full day of battery life, I'll only get between 4 and 6 hours of screen-on time. Whether full stock or ROMs, it's always been the same. I've eventually just chalked it up to hardware being the issue and made sure to always have a spare battery and charger with me at all times.

I got my phone back.
They said that they changed the motherboard. On the package the note is "sostituzione board unit".
In the next few days I am gonna do some test to see if they really solved the problem, I really hope so.

Nice to hear
Today I was suprised of my phone's duration (still no serviced again): more than 1 day (of course without doing much) and only 10% drain during the night.
I don't know what happened BUT i can say also that I'm experiencing now a problem with the network (GSM, 3G): the network crashes sometime also while calling or while idling.
Today it did not crash in a > 10min call, so let's see also the battery drain during this night
...because strange stuff happens!

try update to the latest new radio.. flash radio.img
galaxy nexus i9250

I think that the problem is solved.
It was a hardware problem.
I'm on CM10.2stable now.
Latest radio and bootloader.
Now my phone last enough .
I called Samsung a lot of times to urge them to fix my phone.
EDIT: I'm now on 20h20m on battery with 3h23m screen on and 4% left. Goood

Unexplainable issues with booting and flashing

Dear XDA-overlords,
the last time I askeed your help was during my odyssey with the HTC HD2 and I recveived great help.
So once again - I reuiere your knowledg sine I don*t know much about the LG G3.
My smartphone: LG G3 D851
ROM: CandySiX-d85x
The issue: the sim-card reader is most def. dead. So I took the liberty to remove the tiny metal-plate to take a closer look at the pins for the sim-card-reader. (One pin was broken, guess thats at fault). But the main-story unfolds just at this moment. Ever since I did that, my smartphone stopped booting properly.
I can flash every rom, it works just fine at th e first-start. But if I restart the phone, it's more or less a gamble if the phone will start up properly or end up in a blackscreen after the LG logo. If the phone starts (in like 2 out of 10 attempts) it works perfectly fine. My only hope is, that the battery is at fault since I bought the phone used and that damned thing dischargers in less than 2 hours from 100 to 0%,
So, does anyone have the slightes idear whats wrong with the phone? Everything worked perfectly up to yesterday. Ever since, everything has gone to ****s.
Best regards,
Zakkusu

bump!

What do you mean by "bump" ?

Bumping is simply put to put the thread at the top again. Most forums allow that once a day (24 hours)
At least I'm not the only one with this issue. Perhaps there is a solution to this already. My new battery will arrive tomorrow, I dearly hope, that this is the source of the problem.
