I just received my S100 and have played with it for a few days.
But today I had some problems with my bluetooth connection which i could not turn off so I removed the battery from the back to reset it. After i put it back i was presented with the installation instuction like when i turned it on the first time. In settings > battery it says that both are 100% full so my backup battery should take over or am i incorrect? Is this a hardware failure or im doing something wrong? Im glad i alraedy synced it with outlook so i could restore most of my data which was on the device.
Hope somebody can help me here.

i think the backup batt runs for only a few minutes... but as you say both are topped of at 100% can you replicate this problem? If not it may have been a one time thing.
Yes i could reproduce it 3 times. I only took out the battery for a minute or so and then put it back again. When I put the battery back and I check the power again in settings it still says 2x100%. If this is not normal behavior I think I will have to return it for exchange or repair.

yes this is not normal. well goodluck hope you get a better unit
Thx!
I hope I get a new one although i highly doubt it....

Same thing happend to me as well !!
I dropped my Qtek S100 on the floor and the main battery popped out. I inserted it again (it was out just for 30-40 seconds) and a hard reset occured!
Everything lost and still my backup battery was 100% charged.
Peter
maybe the drop had more to do with the hard reset than the battery popping off?
Hard Reset after removing battery for 10 secs
OMG.. This is happening to me too!.... has anyone found a solution for this?
im using 1.11WWE + Big Storage.
Can any brave mini users try removing their battery and reinserting it?.. just to check if you have the same problems.. i have searched the web and have found that many people are having this problem..
you might just want to check if you have this problem because you will never know when you might drop your mini and suddenly your data is lost!.. just like me.. argggg :evil:

I have tried this solution.. i turned on flight mode.. waited about 3 minutes.. remove the battery, turned back on and the mini still hard resets thank god for sprite backup tho..
No need to test this as this is standard behavior for all pocket pcs (well wm5.0 says it will solve this with persistent storage) if you remove the battery and the backup battery is drained (i think the backup lasts a few minutes only)... YOUR DEVICE WILL HARD RESET. Again this is the same with all Pocket PCs may it be Phone Ed or Regular PPC. Power Drain (Main/Backup Batt) = Hard Reset. So keep your device juiced up always, and please do regular backups.
@benny: you said: "if you remove the battery and the backup battery is drained (i think the backup lasts a few minutes only)... YOUR DEVICE WILL HARD RESET"
but in my and Nutdhanai's case, both main n backup baterry ARE 100%. and we just take out the battery for 10secs (just to try) !!! anybody else can give explanation for our problem?? could it be the backup battery dead???
i made little experience last night. i let the MAIN battery till ONE (1) %, but BACKUP STILL 100%. then i went sleep for about 8 hours. in the morning, i CAN NOT turn my mini at all... pressed power and nothing. then i plug it to my desktop via usb. and it come suddently, without any hard reset!! i immediately straight away check the battery status, its said : MAIN: 0% (charging) and BACKUP: 100% !!!! how coudl it charged my backup battery back to 100% in only 2 seconds after i plug the usb cable?? its very strange!
what will happen normally when the main battery going down till 0% ?? i should use the backup batt, right?? please help us (me n nutdhannai). .
thanks all!!!
hard resets
Hi Guys I went through a phase of hard resets when changing the battery. I found out it was because I hadn't fully moved the locking tab into place. I don't know if this would be the case with your machine. good luck!
@ chop:
no, had try this long time ago, still got hard reset.. unlucky, i think we dont have someone who actually work as XDA technician in this forum to confirm this kind of problem

Hi guys!
I've no Magican, but an HTC Himalaia (QTEK2020). But i've got the same problem at my device, too.
Seemed to be an driver-bug?
I'm using Windows Mobile 2003 - ROM 1.72 - official edition (non "beta").
I know, that my problem is here in the false forum, but i want to give our these note, so that anybody could be found the solve in a softwaresoultion?
Sorry for my worst english!
Greetings from Germany,
Christopher
No more hard resets for me !
Hi guys,
FYI - my magician is an O2 Mini version.
When I had hard reset problems.. I was running QTEK 1.11 WWE and QTEK 1.12 WWE ROM, both which cause my magician to hard reset when I remove my battery.
Today I was going to send my magician to the service center so I decided to flash my magician with O2 ROM, I flashed my magician with O2 1.11 WWE ROM then I allow the ext rom to install all the applications that it was suppose to (I didnot soft reset to avoid ext rom installation)
Then i figured I should test whether the magician still hard resets or not... I took the battery out and then put it back in... turned it on.. expecting hard reset.. BUT NO!! my magician didNOT hard reset!!! OMG.. I am so happy..
so.. to summarise.. I am not too sure whether the QTEK ROMs are the cause for my magician hard reset or not.. because my girlfriends magician is also an O2 Mini and its running iMate or QTEK 1.11 WWE with Big Storage (definately not O2 ROM) and she doesnot get the hard reset problem.. BUT I can confirm that reflashing my O2 magician to O2 ROM solved my hard reset problem however, I cannot guarantee that this solution will work with other magicians but it might be worth a try..
So anyone having hard reset problems when battery is removed should try flashing their magician to the ROMs provided by your Make.. ie.. iMate Jam should flash with iMate ROM, O2 Mini should flash with O2 ROMs etc...ALSO you should let the extended rom install what ever applications it needs ok.
Let us know how you get on..
I will now try to upgrade my O2 Mini to JAM 1.12 WWE ROM and MKS Big Storage and see whether I will get hard reset again.
Hi all,
I've got this problem after upgrading my Rom and Ext Rom on my T-Mobile MDA Compact. First of all it's turned into an I-mate, but that's not a real problem. The only thing is that the battery indicator is stuck at 100% at all times. So now I use my MDA untill it has even used up the backup battery and goes dead. I'd like to restore my battery indicator. Can you someone help me on this one?
Thanks,
Steven.
That sounds very weird. If a hard reset can't fix it, I guess a ROM update is the only option left?

Zillion,
have you tried a 3rd party app like BattMon2k to see if the same problem occurs? If such an app will work properly, you can use that as a solution until your ROM problem is fixed.

PLease Help!
As i can't find any reason for it...
Did this start after a ROM update?

I encounter this before
1. restart randomly
2. hard reset randomly
3. phone receive no signal
later i found out all these symptoms was due to faulty battery packs. I have 3 battery, & 2 of it provides such problem. And these 2 are new batteries
amazingly my original battery still works fine thou it only last a day.
If your set still covered by warranty, send it back. Who knows you might have some battery pins problem instead of the battery itself or the mainboard itself is faulty.
Good luck
may be u r rite..... but i dont think so.....
i guess will have to submit it at the repair centre then
this happens to me also - the resetting just started a couple of months ago. I am using an xda mini, on which I did a bigstorage update last year some time.
I'm on rom 1.11 (date 3/14/05) and radio 1.11
Suppose I would like to update that some time, but... I've moved to Mac and my pc is all dusty! haha.
Anyway, I want to send the xdamini off under warranty, but I'm not sure if it will be a problem that I have Big-Storaged it? Should I try to clear the bigstorage and get it back to original state first, or will they not mind that it has a big storage rom version. I've got a couple of months warranty left.
thanks...
This may sound really basic, but I had similar problem with my imate jam, and it all came down to a loose battery cover. For some stupid reason the jam shuts off power when the cover is removed even before the battery is removed.
the clips on the back cover press against a contact which fires up the jam. My loose back cover was constantly cutting off power and then reconnecting. Just a thought.
Anyone have hard resetted their ATOM Exec?
Mine was messed up so I hard resetted and planned for a fresh install.
HOWEVER, after the hard reset, the machine boots up EXTREMELY slowly, Camera doesn't work, O2 Auto Installer does not work and many other problems.
After hours of searching on the forum, I've realised that this issue is often faced by many Atom(non Exec) users who flashed their device with the Exec Rom. But isn't this rom supposed to work on the real Exec? It worked nicely when I first got my machine.
I cannot flash it to the other ROMs in OS or Bootloader as well.
I really appretiate it if anyone can give me some advice on how to fix my device. Thanks a ton!
The O2 Service Center has agreed to give me a Brand New Atom Exec.
I am not sure if they were able or unable to fix it or not but well I guess it doesn't matter anymore...
I hardreset many times due to software problem, but no such problem for my Atom Exec. One surprise is that the battery lasting time becomes 50% longer than I first time use it.
Hi there,
i've got a problem with my HTC magician. Yesterday i noticed that he had self-reseting and lost all the contents (contacts, messessages,...). Installed a new rom (a diferent one) and today the problem continues. The battery is ok, as the indicator shows.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks,
check your battery cover.
i had the same problem few months ago - the deal is that the cover wasnt inserted correctly to the end,thats why i had 4-5 resets per day.
hope it will help
