my o2 xda1 wont charge, I have replaced with a new battery but it still wont charge, when I try to charge it it takes about ten minutes and the xda will slowly boot up just as if I had done a hard re-set, I can then set it up but while it's still in the cradle but everything runs slow, there are no chargeing lights on the Xda, if I diconnect from the cradle the Xda holds charge for about ten minutes and then dies, is there any way of chargeing the battery without the cradle, please help
I guess you have tried to flash a new rom to your phone and you have corrupted the gsm radio part, well thats what it sounds like to me

Hi,
I upgraded my XDA2 to the new o2 rom and everything went fine with no problems. I've been using the phone for a couple days with no issues.
I've just had the phone charging in the USB cradle for a couple hours and noticed the led that is usually gree/orange had gone red with the screen blank. soft/hard reset does nothin nor does removing the battery or sim card. If I place the phone back in the cradle then all that happens is the led going red. I'm currently waiting for the backup battery to discharge and will put the battery back in...
Anybody know whats going on and anything I can try? Or does it look like phone is dead and back to O2?

Not to sure if this will help, but sometimes on me E200 (smartphone made by HTC) I get this problem and to fix this what I do it remove the battery and plug the charger in and then put the battery in, this normal works.
Well... funny you should say that... I plugged it into the mains charger (swore some more) and it just started working. Both the main and backup batteries were completely flat... I know the usb cradle is ok as another phone is charging...
Will put it on the mains and see what happens...
Thanks for help,

No worries.
I went away for xmass, and the last thing I did before leaving (this is stupid i know) was to upgrade my XDAII to 2003SE 2.02 rom.
I brought only my USB charge cable because i didnt want to carry too much.
Now, when I plugged it in to charge on my PC it said charging and the light came on as usual. However, it seems it wasnt charging. I left it overnight expecting to have a charged unit, only to find it completely dead the next day.
Now, when I plug it in, the charge light comes on RED for about 2 minutes, then the unit comes on from a hard reset and shows both charge levels at ZERO.
It stays on for about 10 minutes pretending to charge, but only the backup battery charges, the main one doesnt charge at all. Then it goes off totally and the light goes red again.
If I turn the unit off while it goes red straigh away and wont come back on.
After a few minutes it comes back on and pretends to charge again. The Backup battery reached "100 %" but the main battery will not charge. its still at 0% and wont charge.
Ive connected it to a 5v2amp psu as it requires but this was via a powered usb charger so using the same lead, not the official cradle.
Im worried there is something wrong but dont have access to the cradle.
Has anyone else ever had experiance of a total discharge state on an XDAII ?
UPDATE
I travelled 50 miles today to get to the nearest charge cradle for an XDA2, put my battery in and it charged fine. I put it back in the XDA and it worked. However, when I got home I plugged it into the USB charge lead, and it came on and said charging again, with the yellow light and all seemed well. I left if for a bit and the battery was then dead again with no charge and back to showing the red light. it wont come on at all now.
This is the same lead i used previously and the only change is the 2003SE rom, has anyone else had a problem charging after doing this rom upgrade? Can I revert back to 172 ? how? help please.
Please help. IM screwed unless I can find a solution, has anyone got any idea?
Dude, I have the same problem on my 1.72 version. I have (of course) dropped by xda2 several times on the floor, but it works charging from the cradle (which again has a adapter connected to it) but not from my brand new USB sync+Charge cable. I have also tried another cable and even on a different PC. Only thing that happens, is that it says it is charging, but nooooo... it's all flat after a little while. It's as if the cable uses my XDA power to change the PC instead of the other way around
It's funny. So now I have to drag that big-ass charger along with me to work every day instead of that neat little USB cable.
Life is unfair!
As for your problems, I can only say that you're not alone.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I havent ever dropped mine, ive taken good care of it, so I dont think that is the cause. It does sound like the same issue however, I dont have my cradle here to test it though, just a usb sync+charge cable.
Does it work with the charge adaptor and psu alone? I mean the little thing that goes on the end of the mains psu to connect directly to the XDA without the cradle. How about on the cradle without the PSU plugged in?
I think this may be a hardware fault that needs repair, so its off back to o2 for mine if it is, you may find they would repair yours too.
Anyone else got an idea?

With my charger alone, it charges perfectly. In the Cradle with the charger connected, it works too. I havn't tried to use the cradle alone using only the USB cable to the PC.
I think I might bring it to the repair-dudes when it's so trashed that it is not working at all Until then, i will keep on using it.
I have exactly the same problem. i am not sure if it was because of the upgrade, but this is what happened to me, I upgraded to 1.72wwe from the factory 1.66wwe and it was working fine when I noticed that sometimes when it was charging after pulling out the plug, the unit will display 0% charge from the external battery and then after plugging it again the power is at 100%, It happened twice and was ok again, I presumed it was just a glitch from the system and promptly dismissed it as such. After a week, it was hardresetting everytime i got it out of the plug. I brought it to the service center and they replaced the battery (it was under warranty) It was working fine then I upgraded to 2003se the unit was ok for about 3 days then i noticed that the unit was loosing charge and hardresetting everytime. I brought it to the service center again and they said they replaced the motherboard this time and was back to 1.66wwe. So far its ok and working fine.
left my O2 XDA charging all day and when i went to use it this evening it will turn on, but after approx 5 sec's it switches its self off! have tried to sync it with pc but closes connection once it powers off. ANY ONE got any idea,s
It could be the possibility that your battery is not holding the amperes (amp). try to charge the battery saperatelly on the cradle if you have got the battery slot on your cradle. Sad to say but there is also the possibilty that your PDA's charging circuit is gone.

Hi Sidd,
Yesterday i finally got around to trying what you said,& yes it worked on cradel so was able to make backup. Then tonight stranger still it has started to working a 100% again. So me keeping everything crossed that it keeps on working. Once again thanks for the help Daffydd
No problem mate GoodLuck
Hi, put my Mozart into charge last night, and when i woke up it was dead flat out of battery. What's even worse is i cant boot it up at all, the battery doesnt seem to respond to the charger, and would not turn on at all.
Thank god i had a spare battery and started using that one.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? Im guessing one possibility is that the phone resource usage is higher than the charger can provide, and so it went flat...
If I have my phone connected to my PC it does not charge fast enough if I am using my phone.
It seems as if when using the charger the problem is sorted and it does charge when I'm using my Mozart.
I dislike having to use my Mozart while charging it as the Mozart gets really warm while its charging and being used. Do you have the same issue?
well i was sleeping when the phone was on charge... and the next morning it was dead.... weird huh
Yea mozart gets warm easily when charging and especially when charging and using it, same issue..
Yeah, that is weird... Are you able to charge and use that battery at all or is it a throw away now? Completely dead and can't be charged?
it worked after i used my battery standalone charger
It happened to me once, what i had to do was take the battery out then put it back in. Solved the problem.
OMG what the hell!!!! NOW THE CHARGER DOESNT RECHARGE AT ALL!!!! Maybe its the usb line's fault....
What are the possible reasons that it wont recharge????
Well it could be many things. USB cable, charger unit, faulty / damaged usb port on your phone even damaged battery. Try and rule out the possibilities one at a time.

I experienced this problem several days ago, but I don't how it happened, just like the phone connects wrong wire when be charged. I try it again later, It work OK.
Hi, I've just got a new magnetic charger and after trying to plug my phone in the battery drained from 40% to what i can imagine is now 0%. When trying to charge the phone the notification light was flashing red, but now after leaving it plugged into my laptop for 10 to 20 minutes it is a solid red light. If i plug it back into a wall socket it starts flashing again.
When first trying to plug the magnetic charger in, I may of had it upside down, but as there were no instructions saying that there was a wrong way round, I can't imagine how it was this that might of caused it.
Any ideas on what i should do?
EDIT - After 10 minutes of it being plugged into the wall it is now a solid red light also.
leave it plugged into a wall
this can take upto +45 mins to have enough power to even respond
It finally rebooted itself, but now the battery life is awful, barely lasts a day, in comparison to the 2 days it used to get, is it possible that it's damaged the battery?

Probably, repetitive engaugement and disengagement of the battery can cause faster wear
I'll just send it back to Amazon and get a refund, I think it's done a bit more damage than I can tell

It probably happens when u attach the magnetic cable wrong way i.e. negative to positive and positive to negative.

but as there were no instructions saying that there was a wrong way round..
You shouldn't be able to plug the magnetic charger in the wrong way as there are different spacings across the connectors.. unless you forced it? You don't have to push them in, they just snap into place when hover the connector over the port, no pushing needed at all.
As for the damage maybe draining your phone to 1-2% and charge to full, repeat a again, might return the battery to original state. That or you've damaged one of the capacitors used for the battery, or the battery itself is now damaged. Best of luck.
