forgive me 4 my english.
When I bought my XDA II in Singapore, I also bought spare battery. In condition battery 100% full, also backup battery full I've tried 2 change with another simcard. but when I put the battery back the phone suddenly perform a hard reset. As U all know it only take 5-10 seconds to change the simcard.
I've tried like 10-20 times but sometimes it performed hard reset but sometimes it didn't. It's freak me out. coz I have to put installer in my SD and it waste some of my memory card space.
Please help.
I live in Indonesia and XDA service centre here is sucks. They did not helping me at all.
My XDA II spec's : (which is full of bug like many of you guys said)
RUU 1.66.WWE
bootloader 1.06.
be sure to completely move the red battery-holder into the open position.
This switches between internal backup battery and normal battery.

won't work either. Last night I'd tried to dissasamble my XDA. after that it's just work fine. I've been trying for like 5 times. finally the backup battery is working fine. But I wanna try it again today. Just keep my finger cross guys.....
some technician in my country tell me to carefully change batt or SIM. when you want to put off battery and change something, be careful that you put backcase out off your device. If your backcase still attach to your device and badluck that it touch to electrode (place that connect with batt), it will discharge all of your back up battery with 5-6 second
I have the same problem when I change the battery only. It is stated that one needs to quickly change the battery, in order for the contents to be intact. I tried to open the battery latch & shut it immediately, the contents are lost and the xda2 re-setup itself again.
I think the only way is to xbackup to the SD card, change the battery, restore back from the SD card.
In other words, getting a spare battery is NO USE! You can't swap in & out whenever you like, unless you are prepared to backup & restore.
Anyone has different experience?

finally I know what's the problem. It's the lock button for the main battery. Yesterday I've tried to dissasamble again. then I know where the problem started. The main battery lock switch was not completely switching between the main and the backup battery switch onboard. But now it's working just fine.
I hope this'll help you guys.
hmm....ok, i tried again, this time very careful to make sure the latch moved to the very end, i changed the battery within 5s time & i still have the contents intact.
Anyone tested what is the max. time allowed for the battery switch?

hello All
I had a xda 1 that was showing the picture of just t.Modile when it was turned on. Well thats what I was told on ebay. Anyway I got the unit thinking i would be able to try the rom thing and update it ok. Anyway when it came the bat was flat. So today a cradle and charger came. I pluged in the xda and then the charger and it came on straight away ( dont know if it should do this) any way it came onto the t mobile screen like i was told. So thought i would leave it till it was charged. I was doing other work when i heard it ping. I looked at it and it said welcom to windows 2003 which i thought great. went through the setup and it all seems working. I tried to switch it off in the cradle but it would not let me It this correct? Anyway I took it from the cradle and switched it off and tried to switch it back on but it would not come on. So i put it back in the cradle and it switched straight on. No waiting for the set up screen again.
Firstly should it switch on as soon as you put it on the cradle and should you be able to switch it of whilst in the cradle. Also does the problem i have described above point to the battery being buggerd?
Many thanks And any help much appreciated
regards Andy
Most likely the battery is dead. Had the same problem. I have bought a new 1700mAh battery for my XDA 1 at eBay, price incl. shipping €20,- Works like a charm again.
Hello
Riight a bit more information on the XDA1 I Have I have took it apart and tested the battery it only reads 3.4 volts I take it that the correct voltage is 3.7 volts so i would say its the battery.
Another problem i have knoticed is when i put it in the cradle from dead and it starts up it stops on the t mobile screen for a while (about 10 mins) before going to the main 2003 screen and while it is in this screen i cannot do nothing at all with it (Buttons or stylus), Is this correct. any help would be great thanks.
One last question the unit is a O2 unit and i think it hase been flashed to give it w2003 op sys Now how would i keep this operating system but get it back on O2 thanks in advance,
regards Andy
Doesn't sound right to me. Boot after warm reset of my 3.5 years old XDA I takes 5 secs max, no more. Boot after a cold reset also takes just a few secs, before I see the O2 bubbles boot screen.
You could try the "latest" PPC 2002, to see if the device is still that slow at boot time.
What I am thinking is this is under mains power only not batery is this the reason its actingh like this? the main battery is only 3,4 volts does this point to a failed battery?
regs Andy
Is any GSM error displayed on screen??
Hello
No only thing is when i try to load the phone program it says only emergency calls without pin?
Thanks Andy
Was judt thinking about using the special rom but not sure how to eiter via the cradle into the xda or onto the sd card then see what happens? way out of my leauge at the moment you read that meny conflicting items I dont think i can get it into bootloader because of the batt fault in that if i take it off cradle and switch it off it wont come back on till its pluged back on the cradle LOL so im lost I think i will have to get a batt first. What voltage is your reading pls and do you think a batt at 3.4 is knakerd thanks again ( me rambling on and on sorry)
re XDA
One thing i have just seen when looking throug the hardware items it gives the rom version and rom date but it is blank at radio version and protacol version. Should these be blank
Also there is no imei number shown in the Identity all it shows in there is H/W Pw10B1 and platfprm PocketPC.
Thats about it
thanks andy
Looks like you need to flash a new ROM; http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby
Re the above XDA
Hi Again Firstly can anyone confirm that a battery is dead when it only reads 3.4 volts after hours in the charging cradle? Before I get a new one
Secondley if it is dead I asume that i will have to get a replacment one if i am to flash the rom correct? ( it cannot be done on mains power alone due to the need to remove from the cradle for a soft reset? CAN IT?)
Next I have a SD card 512 and also a external SD card reader/writer (usb) how is the best way to go about flashing it afterwards? Do i write a the rom to the sd card via the external reader/writer and then insert into xda? and do the soft reset thing?
What would be the best and most stable rom to go for pls. Or should i use the site with the cooking roms on.
The XDA is a O2 but shows T-Mobile on start up ( would like it back to original if poss)
The UNIT is a pw10a (stamped on the back) but if it shows in the h/w as pw10b when the unit is switched on? and as said does not show a wireless version or a emei num although it is stamped on the XDA/
Any Help much appreciated . I just seem to be getting my head in a right knot with this one.
Many Thanks
Andy
Hi All,
My Prophet just died...
I made a RadioROM upgrade and after a reboot I did an IPL upgrade. I did a soft reset and now it doesn't want to turn on. I'm really confused what did I make wrong and how can I redo it.
I'm looking forward to a helpful info.
Thanks
Does your screen stay black or does it display anything? Can you enter bootloader? And why would you want to upgrade your IPL???
My screen is dark black, I can not even turn it on. I doesn't matter what sort of switch I press on the dev. So I can't see the bootloader and I think it's a serious problem...
After the IPL upgrade the reboot was succesful and on the startup screen it says IPL 2.20.0001 and worked for a while.
I've changed my local settings, which reqiures a soft reset, so I did it. After this, no aswer...
I'm very dissapointed because of the pda and your help dear all...
Is your battery dead? Try it with your charger.
No, my battery was fully charged before I ran into this major problem...
I had a similar issues which was misteriously resolved after a few plug ins and battery removals. I also let the battery completely drain and removed it from phone for a few hours. It worked when connected to wall charger but not with battery. It seemed like interior phone battery was dead. One day I connected it to the wall charger and the battery status when from zero to 98% and it stayed there. Really weird stuff. I ordered another battery and so far so good. One of the batteries did die and i discarded it, but I still use the other old battery plus I have a new spair.
Yamilrx, thanks the info...
I'll try it, but I've lost my faith in this device. It's in clinical dead state for 2 days from now, and it looks like doesn't want to wake up or alive.
This is a very misteroius issue.
I don't understand it, if I upgraded wrongly somebody tell me, why was the device started after? And if it was a wrong update, how can I turn it on and make calls, etc. and after a soft reset it DOESN'T reply for anything?!
I bought it almost 2 years ago, so I assume the battery could cause similar problem. But it was almost fully charged. The Star Wars was less incredible then this thing...
Except this, I'll accept your advice. I'm going to try it.
try the following, as your device is dead and curently noy useable.
-remove the battery for a day and just leave it there
- put in the battery and connect the charger
- hold your camera button while turning the device on
do you get into the 3 colored screen? if so, the device can now be downgraded etc.
particular reason why you have not tried a HARD reset?

Thanks, I'll try it first after go to a shop and buy a battery.
Anyway, when I mentioned I've tried all the combinations of the buttons, I meant i did a hard reset too. But my Spleeping Beauty is still doing the same...
The problem hasn't been solved by the solutions you have mentioned before, so I've called the HTC technical support, they were very friendly - they must be because I'll pay for it - and 2 days from now they will tell me how much does it costs or it is repairable or not...
Thanks for your help.

I did that with mine to see if it would reset device once the internal battery is totally discharged. Like I said earlier, mine came back to live. Make sure you install the WM 5 rom used for downgrading and don't try any of the WM 6 roms until the device is fully functional with wm5. The batteries are $8 on ebay but they take 1 week to get here from Hong Kong.
If winter comes,can sping be far away?
Hi All,
The service technician examined my Prophet and he said, I have to change a mainboard. Have you ever run into this kind of problem? If I want a repair, it'd cost me 300 Euro!!
Luckily I still have a warranty, so I hope I don't have to pay for the service.
Take care your Prophet...
Last night, I charged my phone through PC and after 57% charge I take it off.
Phone was working fine before I went to sleep. When i woke up i found that my phone is turned off. I try to turn it ON, but it did not give me any response.I thought my battery was completely drained, So, I try to charge it through the SE charger and through PC but nothing worked.
At present, Phone is completely off with no light indication. I tried to charge it many time with and without SIM card and sd card, but it remains in this condition I also tried different methods which are mentioned in some other forums.
Please help me. Did anyone experienced this kind of phone behavior?
I have a similar problem, I`m running on Mini CM6 from quite a time now and I had minor problems which are solved by “wipe data/factory reset”. But that one is bigger. I came back from work and put my phone on the charger, it was at least 24h on it and it stayed on 98-99% did not go to 100%, I remove it from the charger and set an alarm for the next day when the alarm ringed after 5 hours I saw that the phone had 15% of battery. In “About phone>Battery use” there was a “Cell search” (if I`m right) that I saw drained my whole battery. I go to work and put it in the charger again when I came back after 5-6 hours it was again on 98-99% I removed it and set an alarm (again) but for sooner not for next morning) before that alarm ringed the phone had 30% batter after I stop it the battery began to go down 2% at 1 second and it turn off. And guess what I did? Put the charger again for the whole night, the next morning after I woke up I decided to remove it from the charger and turn it off because I knew that it will search for signal again and I have to charge it. And that was the last time I saw it alive since then I don`t have anything from it I tried to charge it ->nothing ; SE PC suite -> nothing its totally dead. Its still in warrant but I`m afraid that they won`t repair it because I use a custom ROM. If anyone have any idea I`m listening.
Thanks in advance
Sorry for my bad English.
Try this:
Press the power button + middle button (home) at the same time.
Slight chance it will help, but you'll never know!
;;@above: right, they won't repair when you've got it modded.
They probablywon't know, you could give it a try.

how to do that when i can`t get anything from it. its like i have removed the battery it doesn`t give any sign of life ( not a light,vibrate etc.)
Aaa ok bro total ****ed well ? Try seus if this wont work your batery could be broke try some one else batery. If not defo broke. ! !!!!!just send it back to se if seus cant get it running they cant find out its rooted
After lots of frustration, I found a solution to charge dead battery by charging it with little High voltage(9v) to get back it into chargeable state. I followed the same procedure and managed to charge my battery, but during and after full charge(99%) battery got very HOT. I was very happy to saw my phone back working, but my happiness was eventually went away when i saw that battery was draining very fast
Now, Battery is lasting just for few hours (2-3) and whole phone gets very hot.
The worst thing is, If i left my phone for few hours and do not charge it, battery will again full drain and i would be in the same condition from where i started.
I wish i never had bought this crappy phone
So i`ve send the phone to service and they said: After many tries we find out that a connection in the motherboard was f****d and its 4 layer so they can`t repair it. Because of a scratch(which is very hard to notice) they cancel the warranty, and they tried to make it so they can take my money but they are stupid and they couldn`t. Now i`m buying a new phone which is not going to be Sony because they don`t make a thing for their old customers(personal opinion). I want to thank you all for your help and support
I read a lot about and also on the sonyericsson website says that these feeding problems are often related to two components:
- Sd card damaged or damaging some application installed, then you want to format
- Memory, or too full
The problems are:
- The phone turns itself off
- Sometimes turns on by itself
- Turns itself off if not turned on unless a soft reset (home + power button)
- If it turns itself off and starts believing it is discharged in office no signs of life
I honestly thought we could find the solution on this forum but apparently it's pretty annoying also an issue for you, I is the third time I hard reset and I think I'll two things:
- Or install a rom
- If the problem persists delete root permissions bringing the device to the condition of complete originality and I'll settle for some applications, at this point I doubt will happen again, so if the phone will sell and buy another one or send it under warranty
If anyone has found a solution to the problem you say that! many of us get us the hair from the head!
Hi guys,
My battery life was getting shorter and shorter. So, I decided to buy me a new battery. I tried the battery and my phone turned on with the green charging battery.
As I turned my phone on when it was filled 100%, my phone gets stuck at the beginning (black screen Samsung galaxy blabla with the yellow triangle)
I thought this was weird so I started it in recovery/download and this does work.
After choosing for reboot I got the omega rom loading GIF, and suddenly I got KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE.
I decided to try a battery from a friend (also Gt-i9100). This battery just worked in his phone so why shouldn't it work with mine.
As I tried it, I first got the message battery too low. But the battery was full in my friends phone. So I tried again, also stuck at the beginning screen.
To make it even more stupid: My friends phone wont boot either after I used his battery.
As I was really tired of this sh*, I decided to put my old stupid battery back in my phone so I could use it for +- 6 hours a charge.
Now my phone is stuck at the beginning with all the 3 batteries.
I tried to re-flash my omega rom, but it's still the same issue.
Is there something going on with my kernel? I thought I could erase the battery stats, but thats not a option in this CWM.
I'm really stressed, because like all of you, I need my phone every day.
Do you guys have any advice, tips or sollutions for my/our problem?
Searching and reading the topics that already discuss the points you made would be a start. :good:
Kill the phone, it's evil.
Regards.
Mark Battery.

Maybe there is something faulty with the battery inferace of the phone or maybe you're just unlucky. I don't understand why your friends phone wouldn't boot after you used the battery - that doesn't make any sense - but either way, I'd order a new battery from a reputable retailer, if it stops working again in a similar way then get the phone fixed/replaced.
My suspicion is that it's either a fault with the phone or that there is something you're not telling us. I can't see how the battery (hardware) could cause your ROM (software) not to work unless the link between the battery and phone is damaged, in which case you need to replace the phone.
