Have you removed battery. :?: What color light if any is illuminated when in charger. Also check the switch that locks the battery into place at base of battery.
U already know my problem, cruisin u're great
My battery charge was RED :?
I changed battery and Cradle at shop were I bought it last week,
now it's all OK
but, how hell it depends ? battery sucks ? or something else ?
It LIVES AGAIN
Batteries do fail sometimes, most modern batteries have a chip onboard and this sometimes burns out too. Just bad luck I think.
but how do u know about Red Colour of Charge ?
Have u some experience about it ? Have u read somewhere ?
I've just got back from work having lef my XDA II on O2 at home, and the thing won't turn on!
When I plut it into the charger, a faint red light comes on (where the green signal indicator usually is), However after a few minutes charging it should deffinitely turn on, yet it still does not.
Does anyone have a clue whats going on??
If the main battery and backup battery run out, shouldnt sticking it in the cradle charge it?
Any help much appreciated
Try removing the main battery for a while then try again.
I've had a few of such experience. It won't turn on. Even charging it from the power main, soft reset, take out main battery for a minute or half...
The only way to wake it up is to HARD RESET.
Strangely, I thought somehow the battery ran dry, but after one hard reset I noticed the main battery was at normal level, backup battery 100%. How frustrating. It happened a few times already.
8) I also found this problem. I use Spritebackup and schedule to backup everday at midnight. So, I can restore after have to do hard reset
What ROM version are you running on your XDA2?
I had the same problem on my MDAII and I was on 1.60.00WWE but an upgrade to 1.72.00WWE fixed the problem. That ROM also used to wipe my SD Memory!... Now I'm on 2.06.00WWE (Windows Mobile SE) and it's better than ever!!!
Good Luck!

I had the problems when I was on 1.60.00WWE. Since the very last hard reset (device not responsive to soft reset after a flight in February), I changed it to Sin's Merged ROM version 2 (WM2003SE). I wouldn't say it's better than ever, as I noticed the device is slower but it has been ok ...
I just joined the list because of this issue.
I have ROM Ver 1.72.00WWE and Radio Version 1.17.00.
I only upgraded both ROM and Radio in the past fortnight. It's only since the upgrade that I've had the problem of not being able to 'wake' the XDA and having to do a 'ahrd' reset. I have also another issue regarding the GPRS connection but I'll write a separate email on that.

XDA II Problems
Its nice to know other people have the same problems.....
I have had similar problems and either just remove the battery or do a soft reboot. As I travel a lot, I can't get to my desktop to back up. So I use a 1GIG SD card. But I have'nt lost any data yet.
One annoying problem I had was the damn thing kept switching on every time I picked it up or put in the hard case, or even just laid it down. It seems to have disappeared now. Has anyone else had the same problem? :roll:
so its fate!
check in this morning and mine is doing nothing, nada, zip
hmm soft reset nothing check the threads and this ones at the top!
used all day yesterday sitting on the charger overnight and bingo its dead...
Same problem
Have had intermittent problems with being able to turn on. Took battery out for a while and when it decides to work it automatically has performed a hard reset. Use daily for receiving jobs, recording serial numbers using BT scanner and then e-mailing. As well as being my phone and GPS. Have started taking my laptop with me just so I can restore data on the run.
What a pain!
XDA Problems
From the replies given it appears that the problem lie swith the battery. Has anyone raised this with the supplier? I was thinking of getting a spare one, but they are a bit pricey.
I honestly don't think it's the battery that's at fault. This is because I didn't have any problem with my XDA II until I upgraded the ROM and Radio recently. Secondly, it happens irrespective of whether the battery is fully charged, half charged ... whatever. IMHO, it's whatever was done in the upgrade!
When I got mine back from repair the battery was totally drained as well as the back up battery. would do nada, not switch on, nothing whatever I did.
A few minutes on the charger was not enough. You have to leave it in for about 14 hours once it's in that state for it to become live again.
Don't ask me why, but it needed at least 14hrs on that mains charger !
I too suffer this problem .... only since upgrading too.
Will try the Spritebackup method
guys i have a similar problem. my power button has broken and i turn on the device with the record button (i have remapped the buttons). Yesterday i turnd it on and the screen freezed on the today screen . I performed a soft reset, the screen went blank and it never turned on. Now the device is dead, soft reset won't work, it doesn't seem to charge (no light when i put it on the cradle) and i cannot perform a hard reset because i do not have a working power on/off button.
Is there anything i can do to turn it on?
Before the experts arrive, you could try removing your battery and simcard and leaving them out for a good 15 minutes they try again.
I broke the power on button off my last xda, my hubby soldered it back on
I've had the same problem since 10 days now. First time (friday), the phone just reset itself (hard reset) without reason... 4 times within 2 hours. When I came home i reloaded it for 12 hours and restored a backup. It worked fine from saterday until wednesday.
Then on wednesday it reset (hard reset) itself almost 10 times. Thats the first time i noticed a red light when I tried to recharge. The red light dissapeared after a couple of minutes and the phone would switch on again ... in hard reset mode. Again I left it charging a whole night and restored the backup the next morning. It worked fine again until ... yesterday (monday)... I dropped it (stupid me). It went completely dead. Even when recharging for 2 hours the light was still red. A new fully charged battery (my first thought) did not help a bit.
This morning I opened it up (its about 18 months old, so no more waranty) and i found nothing. When i closed it up... it did a hard reset !!! I changed nothing inside (I even found a little piece of metal afterworths that must have fallen out!). I suspect it was the fact that i removed the battery AND the SIM-card for more than 30min that did the trick. My phone is not SIM-locked (illegal in Belgium to sell sim-locked phones, good thing, but they are a lot more expensive here too). A brand new battery did not help.
Problem is ... when I send it in for repairs, it will be gone for about 4 weeks ! And the best they can do is give me a Sony Ericsson P900. I appreciate their effort, but carkit wont work, no GPS, etc... so i would rather try to solve the problem myself. I'll contact the repair center today and see what they suggest. I'll keep you posted
Cissen, how did you get on? Have you found an answer to your problem yet?
Edit: Mine crashed again yesterday and it showed the battery as being empty although I had fully charged it the day before.... so, I have now ordered a new battery.
They are pretty pricey for branded ones but I found this site yesterday so have ordered one from there - only 20 pounds including delivery so not wasted too much if they're crap

I've got this problem too, when I first got it, it turned for about three seconds then turned off, so I thought it was a dead battery. but when I put the battery in there is no charging light, I have tried 2 different batteries that work fine in my other xda IIi. If I take the battery out and place in the charger a red light comes on.
Ei guys. this is a bit different from your experience. Anyone experienced by just changing battery it went hard reset? or just by changing sim card on the phone, removing the battery just for a second the phone went hard reset although I did checked the backup battery which is in 100%. Anyone?
Hello All,
I just bought my second JAM yesterday, and I am having a problem. When I turn the unit off, or it shuts off, it will not turn back on, except via a soft reset. I searched these forums re this topic and found one post stating that the battery might be the problem. After inspecting the battery, I noticed a crack in the plastic casing on the back side of the battery where the charge contacts are. Is this likely the problem?
I also noticed that the LED indicator lights stay on, even though the device won't turn on.
Any held is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
If you have two devices, can't you see what happens if you use the battery from the device that you know is working 100%?
I-Mate Jam won't turn on - Battery Problem?My first one was
My first one was stolen. I wish I still had it!!
I have abosultely the same problem, so far have not found any solution yet. The matter is not in battery (I tried another one from T-mobile that worked fine), not in SIM-card (on iMate club I had a reply saying that there my SIM-card was too old and the matter was in its voltage) as my JAM was doing this without SIM-card. May be new firmware will help? Did you try to update it ?
does a hard reset change anything... ?
No. Absolutely "clean" JAM right after a hard reset without SIM-card with battery from T-mobile that I know is good for sure does absolutely the same: never turns on after being automatically turned off and turns on one time out of 4 after being turned off manually.
Hi all, very frustrating, I bought an SPV M1000 on 2nd Feb 2005 and this morning - 12 months and 26 days later it has a complete failure.
Both batteries are fully charged and have tried this through the Desk charger (Green Light), and my In car charging kit.
If I put a battery in the M1000 and placeit back in the desk charger or the car kit - I just get the charging light being Red - Not Amber or Green.
I have tried a manual quick reboot and a main reboot but nothing at all.
Does anyone have any good advice as to what the problam may be as Orange were not very interseted being 26 days out of warranty.
What caused failure ,? did you let battery run down completely, have you by any chance damaged bottom plug placing it in cradle,?(friend of mine did and he had similar problem). does nothing at all happen when you try to turn on ? check battery contacts on phone to see if damaged. finally check internal backup battery( similar size to 5p) you should get at least some response. if you ever wish to sell for spares I am looking on here for a replacement screen for mine let me know if you decide to sell at [email protected]
Few months ago I broke the screen of my Qtek9100 and bought a faulty 02 MiniS. The screen version where different so I replaced the whole sliding part and all was fine. About a week after the phone started to restart when I send sms (not all the time). Now it's started to switch off when it feels like, i mean, i leave it on standby and i find it switched off.
Anyone had this problem and knows how to solve it?
Same here, battery shows more then 80%, it just switches off, upon restart it wont even pass the startup screen. When connected via usb, no problem.
Battery issue?
mine does not seem to be a battery issue as once switched off/restarted (automatically) it boots back normally
