I am having problems with my xda2, the battery only powers the unit for around 5 hours.
This is when it is in standby mode, i.e screen off, no apps running etc...
Also has strange led behaviour, instead of flashing once every couple of seconds it will start to flash quickly after the unit has been on standby for about 5 mins. The led starts to flash dull green then progressively gets brighter, It will flash 16 times then go off for a second and then the sequence starts again.
Anyone else had somthing similar and how did you cure it ?
Thanks in Advance
If CPU consumption. If it is low ( below 10% at idle )
U should change the battery. this is no software problem.

Hi
If the battery falls below 10% then it turns off wifi, sd card etc (Fair enough).
But... unfortunately, unit switches on every 5 mins to tell you that the battery is dead (then does not switch off for the defaut timeout)!!! You can go from 10% to dead in half an hour even when the device it switched off.
Also, when you feed it some juice, and try and start the wifi, it switches it off again until the charge is above 10%. I.e it does not realise that the unit has a mains supply connected.
At leased it does not hard reset like my BA used to!

Did you ever find a way around this ? My MDA Pro just drained itself overnight because of this bug. It's even worse if you have MS Voice Command because that chips in to TELL you that there's low battery !

I also could do with a solution for this, as i have set my Screen to be alway on if in laptop mode and open. Oftern i forget to close it and the battery goes flat. No big deal because of lest you looses everything. But not untill the battery once pluged in goes above 10% can i use it properley as all my programes are stored on the card.
I agree the 5 minute but to keep telling you its flat makes it worse if your battery is low, But is there a way to change the low battery shut down to 1% so this way after only a short charge i could start to use it properley
Thanks

I am facing battery problems. I fully charge my phone and after a few short calls my battery level drops down to 90% remaining level. Am I the only one facing this problem ? I have made necessary changes to improve the life.
1) reduced the back light to auto shut after 15 seconds of inactivity
2) standby mode in 30 seconds of inactivity
3) backlight is set to the second bar.
3) GPRS is not connected bluetooth is off and wi-fi is off.
I just purchased this phone 2 weeks back so the battery is brand new
Battery info: model number is PM16A, 3.7 Volt DC @ 1200 mAh (DynaPack)
I need to recharge the battery every 24 hours. Is this NORMAL ?
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.
It's normal. Battery life in pocket pcs and pocket pc phones in general is like that.
I've always noticed that in my PPC and my Prophet, the battery drops down REALLY fast to 85-90%. Then it slowly goes down. Then around 60%, it again gets stuck. Then it goes down again, but very slowly. You'll get a good 2 days of usage with moderate use.
Though I usually charge my phone every night, when it is at about 55-60%.
In the morning when I take it off the charger, it drops down to 90-92% after I only read 1-2 SMS messages and maybe make a short 5 minute call. It's normal.
Hi ppl! ^^
I have a problem that's giving me such an headache! My p3401 keeps on turning off by itself. I've noticed that happens sometimes when I am:
-> listening to music
-> connected to the internet
-> in the middle of a call (that's the worst part for sure!)
I just don't know what to do! I've read somewhere in the net that could be some ROM problem, in a battery controller or something like that. I've flashed a custom ROM yesterday (VanilaManila \o/) and the prob keeps going. I've also noticed that it not happens while in standby, or if the charger is plugged.
After its dead, it take some time to turn on again. It may vary from 5min to half an hour. If I try to turn it on before it, it simply turns off, like if it has an empty battery. The led blinks red, and then pufff. Dead.
After its on again, the battery level vary from 1/3 to almost full.
Have someone faced (or is facing) the same problem? Any ideas would be appreciated!
Maybe I should change the battery pack to test, but I have no other friends with the same htc model as me. (And I would not like to change it, here the battery packs are way too expensive =P, besides, its weird that it only fades in certain operations, not in a random way)
Tnx!
Problem solved with a new battery.
I seem to be having problems with the way my nexus is reading its battery capacity. Pretty frequently now the 15% battery warning comes up, and a couple minutes later it's buzzing in my pocket to tell me it's at 5% or powering down, when it couldn't possibly have used up all that battery power in that time.
I also have issues where sometimes I plug it into my charger and in a few minutes it already says 100%/fully charged, then when I unplug it it reverts to 30 or 40%. In general the phone seems to have problems with telling what its actual battery level is. Has anyone encountered a problem like this, and have a suggestion of how to fix it (short of a factory reset)?
Trying to fix this android os draining my battery, turned some things off, charged my phone and rebooted.. well now screen isn't reported as being on, and it's not showing up in the list of things using my battery. Plz halp.
Mine does this from time to time, or the screen stops recording time on - usually charging it and unplugging resets and fixes though. I put it down to reboots/kernel flashes etc on my side.
