Hi everyone,
I have having a terrible battery performance for my mini. It seems that just after 2 hours, the battery level drops from 100% to about 80% :shock: . Any idea why? :?
Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks!
Try to look in Start/Settings/System/Memory ---running programs...you may have some programs running and consuming battery. If U have Pocket hack master it drawn the battery very fast if overclocked and installed!

Hi Primoz
Thanks for the info. But on my previous device XDA IIs, even with the applications running, the battery life was still ok.
Sigh... perhaps my batt is a lemon... so far it has only lasted 1 day with a full charge!!! :shock:
Hmmm...strange, if the I-mate is new try to replace the battery...cause for me the battery life is about 2 days...in average. If not used much 3-4 days.

Hmm, perhaps an investigation is in order :?: :
Did you leave your beam receive on?
Are you using bluetooth?
What programs are running, especially today screen plugins?
Hi,
nope, bluetooth is off, IR is off however, I left the SD Card in the slot all the time.
I have also made sure there are no today screen plugins and also programs running in the background.
I just checked.... 1 hour, the battery level drops by 6 % :shock:
This is terrible. I am using XDA II mini... don't seem to see this problem with i-Mates and others though...
anyone with XDA II mini care to comment?
Perhaps it's because your battery is still new. On average, batteries have full capacity and stamina after 10-20 cycles of full charge-full discharge.
Make sure:
Backlight is on low setting.
Bluetooth is off.
Infrared is off.
Power off after x minutes.
Backlight off after x minutes.
I have only had my XDA Mini for 8 days now and my battery life is much better than that.
The phone and PIM gets a good going over during a business day and then a couple hours of WiFi in the evening when i get home and i have never had the battery drop below 30%.
My XDA II used to be flat by the end of the day.
The difference is now that i charge the unit for 7 hours during the evenings as opposed to the XDA II sitting in the craddle during the day.
I have finally given up on charging and recharging the battery. I just sent my mini for servicing yesterday. Apparently, the service folks also think that the poor performance of the batt is due to a faulty power regulator.
Anyways, I was quite disappointed that I got a lemon. They promised me my device back by Friday or Sat.
Will update again on the batt performance once I get it back.... :?
Hello!
I have the same problem and if you know where the problem came from i would be very interesting , to know if i have to send it to repair too or if there is another solution!
Thanks
how do you turn IR off?
To turn of IR....
Start>Settings>Connections>Beam
Uncheck the box which says receive all incoming beams.

Hmm...strange, because I have read somewhere (don`t remember where) thah if the Receiving beam box is checked it "helps" the battery to last longer... :?

I just got back my set from the O2 repair center in Singapore. The service tech said that there wasn't any problem and the battery drain is at an ACCEPTABLE rate!
I am still getting the poor battery performance. I can only last 10 hrs max without USING my PDA. I did not even use the PDA function extensively ( at most 20 mins) and did not even use the phone.... yes, all the applications were stopped and even disabled the IR.
I escalated this issue to O2 and they told me that they will check with the tech about the set....
This is terrible!!!! :x .....
Anyone else with this problem? I suspect that this is an hardware / battery issue.
Sigh... hope that O2 can do something about!
to mod: sorry about making noise about this.... but I had to let it out of my chest!
Anyone else with this issue....???

Maybe try the backup and hardreset route? Must be something in your settings that's draining the battery.
If I can tell my experience...I never mind if battery is full of charge or it is down...'couse whenever I can, I always connect my S100 to USB for recharging...
Uhm...Do I wrong?
I guess for my type of usage, it is unacceptable to always plug it into the charger.
This is because I am on the move most of the time and once I leave my office in the morning, I would not return home till sometime at night. Need the set to last at least 24 hours!
Sigh... anyone has ideas for a workaround?
I've been looking for an additional battery... where to get one?
Is this particular to O2 sets? Cos I have not been seeing compliants with other vendors iMate, T-Mobile etc..
I have the same problem and have try all software solution(differents roms)!!I will send it to repair and hope i will be more lucky than you.
Wish you all the best too! If you do get it fixed, please let me know so that I can do something about it rather than having to deal with O2!
I am getting quite impatient with them for giving me the runaround!
hello everyone. i upgrade my o2 exec to UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship. everything work fast and nice but i got problem with the battery. it only last for about 12 hrs without using it just leave it sitting there. No wifi or bluetooth on. 2 items on the today screen. I aslo noticed that the phone is little bit warm. anyone got the same problem??? and know how to fix it thanks.
I WAS getting terrible battery life, then I had to hardreset (activesync not ssyncing at all) and the battery life (and boot time) and now both excellent.
Don't understand it.
thanks i'll give it a try to see any luck.
have a nice day.
Hi guys... i got strange problem on my XDA 2, my radio signal turn-off at 30%, meaning i cannot use my xda 2 to call, then completely shutdown at 25-30% battery charge.Why does my XDA 2 acting this way? Is there a way in the registry program to RESET or RE-CALIBRATE the BATTERY?
Thank you guy!!!
WM2003 is supposed to do that to protect the integrity of the volatile memory.
This isn't a question of recalibrating the battery, but getting a new OS.

hi vijay555
i tried installing different ROM, 2003SE, windows2005, but its still the same. the flight mode signal automaticaly turn-off at 30% because the battery has not enough power to stay it on. before my battery doesnt have this kind of problem. Anyway thanks for your reply.
What i think is the 30% battery on my XDA 2 is actually just around 10% thats why the battery cannot stay open my flight mode or the network signal. Thats why is there a setting in the registry about battery meter? thanks
Hi guys,
it seems that my O2 Xda mini (Magician) has a bad battery. It works fine untill it drops to about 28%. Than the phone instantly dies and I can turn it on only after a few minutes on the charger.
Any idea how to solve this problem?
Is there t least any freeware that would alert me when battery drops to 30%?
Thanks s lot!!!!
P.S.
Is there any software to completely shut down the phone???
I use SK Tools for that. In my case I couldn't make or receive calls when my battery went below 50%.

Hi there! I just bought the P Smart two days ago and saw the same thing.I have fixed it by downloading an app called "Hibernation Manager". Myb that will work for you too!
Thank you it turns out that over time everything is getting into place. But anyway thanks very much
