Battery Charging Problem - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi All
I've had a search around on the forums for an answer to this, but have not so far been successfull.
I was experiencing the battery blackout problem like a lot of folks out there and decided to replace the battery. My new battery (from batteryupgrade.com), works well and cured the blackout problem. However, it will only charge to 85%, now, i'm assuming this is a mis-quote and that the battery is in fact charging to 100% but not reporting correctly. I contacted the battery supplier who have offered me a replacement, but also also suggested i "upgrade" my power management software. Is this an easy thing to do and if so, how do i go about doing it ?
Many thanks for any info

JasJar crashes at 35% battery power

Hello,
I need your help with the following problem:
I have been using my Jasjar for 5 days now and I have a problem with the battery.
As soon as it gets to 35-40% battery power the unit switches off without any notice.
The only way I can turn it on again if I put it on a charger, and than it turns on again like after a soft reset.
I installed the latest ROM from the clubimate but none 3rd party applications.
Please let me know what can be this problem.
Thanks,
Zsolt
same problem here
Hi Ronaldovic,
Have you tried with another battery or just the original?
I was advised to change the original battery as that might be faulty but I couldn't get a new one yet.

For the O2 XDA Exec the battery has a 6 month warranty. You should check the situation with the JJ
battery issues..
I had similar issue and also where on switch on the screen light goes off and back on. This seems to be linked to battery chargin "top-ups" therefore sometimes the supply from the battery is not continously smooth. Try fully draining your battery and charging fully
I have same problem with my Exec. Any solution ??
I buy new battery but...when it gets to 25%, still switch off. So I dont think it's error of battery, may be it's bug of ROM for Exec???

1 month ago I have same problem. I think is not battery.
I make upgrade by all the ROM (JAS JAR, QTEQ, MDA PRO ecc.) but the problem I have not resolution, and 2 week ago my pda (MDA PRO T-Mobile) go in htc warranty.
Sorry for my bad english.
I have also noticed this problem a few days back. My Jasjar switches itself Off when the battery goes down to 22%.
I never used to have this problem when my Jasjar was with the original factory installed ROM version which was 1.13.53 WWE, Radio 1.03, ExtRom 1.13.137 WWE. When this ROM was installed I used to get the first low battery alarm at 20% and when the battery went down to 10% the screen would dim out and the SD card would deactivate, but still the unit would not shut itself out.
I installed the updated ROM when it became available in March which is 1.30.76, Radio 1.09.00 and ExtRom 1.30.164 WWE.
I am not too sure if the problem is linked with this ROM as I usually never allow my battery to run that low. However a few days back when I forgot to charge my battery I noticed this problem. I repeated this deliberately a number of times and each time the Jasjar shuts itself off exactly at 22%.
Just wondering if there are any solutions yet.
Regards
Same here, device just dies @ 26%. Was going to buy a new battery, but that might not resolve it?? *sigh*
RE
This battery issue has been discussed in two other similar threads.
In my case I just changed the default battery to a OEM one and everything works fine :lol:
Isn't the default battery an OEM battery? I'm tempted to buy one of the 1750 mAh batteries off of ebay (original JasJar battery is 1650 mAh) - is that a bad idea?
Try overnight charging of the battery for one or two days..this will solve yr problems... :lol:
Hi,
hard reset to your device, don't forget to get backup contacts, sms and data.
battery issue
I've had similar issues. Screen goes blank when battery low, plug in to charger and all is ok. What I've found is sometimes, not always, the battery screen brightness has gone to 0, but on-mains is set for full brightness. I never changed it, so maybe the device is trying to save power itself.
MNB.
Same here. My Jasjar dies sometimes when the battery is on 60%, 50%, 30%, 20%. etc. If I use the internet or camera or something then it will go dead, but not everytime.
Sometimes I can use anything and it will last till about 10% when the SD Card disables, then I charge it.
Don't know what to do. I don't want to buy a new battery if I'm not sure that is the problem.
Yes the same on my O2 Exec. Crashes at around 32% no matter what. Only remedy is to put it on charging again.
This started after I upgraded to the lastest O2 Rom; prior to that there was no problem whatsoever and I could go down to single digit battery percentages without any issue.
Is it the new ROM? Is there any work around to this malady?
Thanks to all who reply, in advance.
Cheers.
Well judging by the number of threads on the subject this problem is very widespread, check out the threads below:-

perhaps it is heat related?
XDA Exec keeps randomly soft-resetting

-----------------------------------------------
So can we say that downgrading does not fix it, or removing certain software combinations?
has anyone actually proved that replacing the battery works or not?
With the issue this widespread (and across carriers) has anyone tried to contact HTC about this? I still have my doubts that this is ROM related, seems more likely to me that many of the initial batch of batteries have gone bad.
My battery is on order with expansy. Expect it in the next 4 to 5 days and will definitely let you all know of my experience with the new battery

MDA Pro - Phone/Radio cutout at 70% battery

First off, I have seen many threads on the MDA PRO (and all its variants) cutting out at high battery power levels and from what I can see there doesn't seem to be any concrete resolution. But here is my situation.
I bought a new sealed MDA Pro and immedialy flasshed to the latest T-Mobile rom. Thats where the problems began. I seem to be plagued by the MDA cutoff at 60-70% problem.
The way it manifests is the radion loses signal and cannot locate the carrier at or below 70%. At this stage a reset of the device and it reboots but as soon as you use the phone or wifi it crashes .. black screen.
As with others if I connect the USB cable and charge by PC or mains everything returns to normal. Not a very mobile solution!!
I have tried every variant of ROM out there and the problem remains. I have charged the battery for 16 hours etc etc. I have tried phone in Auto, GSM modes .. same problem :!:
The only thing I haven't done yet is buy a new battery and hence my post.
Will the purchase of a new battery solve the problem? As with other threads it would seem this came along with the latest roms. Does flashing a ROM when the battery is less than fully charged cause problems?
On a final note, if after the radio loses signal it is turned off I have been able to run the device down to 20% running videos and MP3. Is this a probem with radio levels above1.09.00 (Just thinking out loud)
HELP: This device is perfect for my daily use and having purchased a less than mobile device I am now close to getting rid .. but I dont want to
Any advice greatly appreciated... expecially from those who have fixed the problem.
I had this problem and a new battery fixed it.
Thanks. Look slike a new battery
There seems to be different speculations on what causes the battery problem on the Universal: the power charge cable quality theory, one idea about the battery level stored inside the batter which some claimed to registry heck could change and another idea about the battery 500 charges limitations.
But if yours is brand new, then none of the above applies... So the refresh to a new Rom definately must have something to do with it. Wonder anybody who had bought a new replacement battery after the power drop had done another rom refresh and whether the same problem returns?
I have just bought a replacement battery (1800m Ah at standard size by MoMax which gives me another 30% more power everyday which is something good I got from paying for a new battery) yesterday to change the old one out for the same reason. Looks like until someone found the real cause, I am keeping the old one for my next rom refresh...
New Battery ... problem resolved.

Radio Module causing rapid drain of battery!

Good Morning Community,
so far I have been highly successful in upgrading my Hermes due to the fantastic support by the members of this forum.
However now I got stuck with this serious battery drain problem:
With the radio module switched on, my Hermes "consumes" around
480mA (measured with acbPowerMeter) and after only 3-4 hours the battery is completely empty. (It doesn't change whether or not it is in standy mode)
Without active radio module, but wifi, bluetooth, bright display etc...it is around 130mA and further drops if the device enters standby => equals normal behaviour.
What have I done sofar:
I flashed different radio modules:
1.47.00.00
1.47.30.10
-> same problem
Flashed different ROMs:
T-Mobile Original
Vodafone Org
Schap's 4.30
->same Problem
I read this threat - but I covers different battery problems
-> I tried several batteries, charging them to 100% works fine.

Well this might not be an easy one but I really appreciate your help!
Thank you very much!

cingular 8125 Battery life problem

I have a cingular 8125, ROM 2.25.11.1 WWE, Protocol Radio version 4.1.13.12, ExtROM version: 2.25.11.102 and CPU OMAP850.
After fully (100%) charged the battery, its life become shorter day after day, i.e not more 12 hours, without using Bluetooth, Wifi, Overclocking neither audio/video and vibration.
I'm asking if this is a battery problem or something's wrong in the software installed ?
Help is really appreciated .
Thanks in advance and kind regards.
Hello,
Do you have the original battery?
I had the problem with the original battery that it was unable to hold the charge. E.g. the phone indicated a full battery and shut off within 5 minutes. This seams to be a problem related to the battery in the Cingular 8125. A lot of people are having trouble with this.
I bought a 3rd party battery and have no problems since.
Hope this helps.
If you didn't try a new battery yet it might be a rom issue. When I was running an early wm6 rom on my wizard the battery life seemed to be cut in half. I also have a cingular 8125.

Poor Battery Life after ROM upgrade..pls help!

I'm having a problem with my prophet (iMate JAMin).. i recently upgraded from Wm5 to wm6 using cloudyfa's shadow 2.0 TE
I left my phone for 10 minutes doing nothing.. from 100% the battery shortens upto 5% down..pls help..suggestions..i'd be grateful for someone who can solve this..thanks!
i experienced something..after i removed my phone from the wall charger because its already full charged..it instantly decreased 1% from the battery meter.
can you post here your IPL SPL and RADIO ROM version? this might have to do with your RADIO ROM version coz some RADIO ROMS ate battery power too much sometimes.. i suggest you should use RADIO ROM 2.19 can be found on PROPHET wiki...
