hello everyone. I am sure that I am one of the victim with the bloody battery of the mda pro problem, which is when it's goes at 80% it decides to shut itself down, which is really annoying. I searched the forum and I got different answers of this cause, which is it's either the rom, the battery need to be changed or the the mda pro is not recognizing the battery status. I don't wanna do any rash things and spend money about 75$ to get a new battery. could anyone tell me why the flliping battery is doing that and what is the solution ?
by the way I just got it upgraded to wm6 and still got the same problem, even tho wm6 is pretty sexy
Replacement Battery
Tried most of the proposed solutions in the forum. Unfortunately the only one that worked for me was to replace the battery.

Hello Friends,
I have some small problems with my imate jam..its lyk,my phone switches off every five minutes no mater the battery it has..also..i hear to 10 audio every day..and talk about 20 minutes..by this usage,the battery drains out fully..i have doubt that,if i change the battery,will this problem of restarting be resolved?..or is it a internal hardware error?,yes the back panel is intact..and tight.
i figure out that its the battery problem..but i need some help..by the experiences.is this problem due to battery?..because,when connected to pc,it works fine..(hope,there is no hardware fault here)
also,I see that,as the phone drops(once), the phone had a reset..is this normal???
Thanks My friends!!

cmon man..rather than reading..Why dont you post your experience.
Hi Sean,
Sorry for a slow response, but the rule here is search and then ask!
Anyways, according to your previous posts it seems that there is a problem with your device battery. Consider replacing the battery with a new one. It will hopefully rectify your problem.
Yeah. When a Magician drops, it generally goes to a reset. Thanks to the anti-shock mechanism.
Thanx for the suggesstion,yes im not new to this forum..i searched the forum,but cudnt find a similar post ..(well answered)...and i m realy thankful for your reply..Than ..Sean

same problem here.. 40% and gsm crash... reboot.. don know what to do...
So this is my first post in this forum so I 'll start with some naggin .
I am a proud owner of the lg ks20 which I absolutelly love.But its buggs are killing me.
First of all there is the free memory issue.I find it quite strange that a WM6 device with 128MB ram has only about 30MB free memory left.I mean cmon Vodafone and LG,we are talking about a huge 45 MB memory hole here.Any ideas on how to get rid of that?
Second serious issue with the is the lack of proper directdraw drivers.I hate the fact that I can not run any applications (with the exception of S2U2 whick works quite well) that use directdraw.Thats a great limitation to what one can do with this phone.
The hardware is all good,big enough ram,rom etc,top class CPU but the software sucks.
I know this is mainly an HTC forum,but I also know this is the right place to talk about WM phones when hacking and software development is concerned .
So is there any possibility to get things moving and resolve some of the phones bugs?
I have a KS20 too and would like to see some of that solved, too. But I guess we have to wait for the KS20 to be more common before there will be enough attention to get someone with enough knowledge to do something about it. I hope the English version of KS20 will come out soon and that it will get more people interested in this issue.

Did you install some strange software? OTherwise you should send your phone back to LG.
Battery always 100% and refuses to charge
Hi All,
I am new to the LG KS20.
It was working fine for 2 weeks, and now suddenly i find the battery status always showing 100%, and it just dies after a day of usage. Even worse, is that since it shows 100% always, it does not charge. When i try connecting the charger, it says battery is full, and the green LED light glows.
Can someone please help me out in resolving this issue.
Thanks you,
Jefferey Rayan
I have exactly the same problem - the 100% issue happend from one day to the other after about two weeks of use. The phone can then only be turned on by connecting it to the charger ( ac-adapter).
Some people in other forums claim it to a damaged battery, some to the 10a-ROM-version. It does not seem to be charged according to the message on the display and the greed led, but I am now about to check out if it really doesn't charge the phone. It turned it self off after about 1 minute of use yesterday, I connected it to the charger over night - today it functions properly so far...
So maybe it's "just" a matter of a wrong display message - in this case one would have to connect it to the charger every 2 - 3 days (guess the battery status) - not a very satisfactory solution, but maybe a solution until a new ROM arrives for non-branding devices.
Battery is dead - if it always shows 100%
I also have the 100% full loaded Problem!
It enoys me
LG has big Problems with their Batteries!
When you have that problem discribed above - your battery is the faulty crap.
Hardreset doesn`t help
So send your phone to LG to get a new battery,...
I am from Austria - LG Austria is not willed to help me - because LG Austria isn`t selling the KS20
The say like **** off - it`s not our problem
So I don`t know how I get a new battery.
My German Reseller told me that LG also has problems with delivering new batteries.
So a pice of crap - with Nokia they would never tell you - you don`t get support because you bought the mobile in Germany and not in Austria,...
Can anybody help me?
Shouldn`t LG Austria have to help me with my warranty?
GreeT`s Erich
I am also from Austria, bought the branding-free version at redcoon.at - they offer 2-year warranty, so I sent it back at the end of May. They probably sent it to LG Germany and it's still sitting there. I hope that according to my descriptions they will exchange the battery, otherwise I will be really pissed off. The repair takes 4 - 6 weeks they say. So I've bought a 400 EUR phone and have to stick with my old K750i for weeks, maybe for months.
I would not recommend anyone to buy this phone. It's on the market for 8 months now, no support, no drivers, no official updates. pure sh*t.
Anyone who wants a stylish mobile should go for the new HTC Diamond.
It's really worth the extra 100 EUR.
For those who have no warranty, I would recommend to plug it to the charger every 2 - 3 days until there are batteries available to buy directly from LG. Since everybody who got it's battery exchanged seems to be happy now, this should be the solution. IT DOES RECHARGE although it shows 100% full and the green led is on. I plugged it to the charger overnight and then it worked for about 3 days of extensive use without any shutdowns. So it's just the indicator that does not work.
Good luck!
The repair takes 4 - 6 weeks they say

My clock is bugged too, always turns to the "Praga" clock when i sincronize with ativesync..
I'll not send my phone to LG Brasil! if they suyck in Europe they will suck a pretty much more in my ****ed up contry.. i don't want to stay 2 months without my phone..
Anyone's got a solution?
thank's!
I bought a new Battery - but not original LG.
Maybe a failure - because when I charge it - my phone turns off,...
The only advantage is it was half the price
I don`t knoe if LG has fixed the new batteries - because buying an original with the fuxing problem is sick
greet`s
back to initial thread, I also have a KS20 and got some 34/37MB after soft reset with default LG app disabled...
it doesn't appear to be that much and normal...
like nstamoul said: "we have to think about this issue!"
KS20 massive destruction
Im using the KS20, And sure, Sometimes you stumble upon some buggs, But its not that bad. Best wm phone I've ever had atleast
there i a problem with my mda pro
cause when its on sometimes it just falls off
but when i turn it on again i just loads the t-mobile screen and then falls off again
but when i but the charger in it it will start the phone up completeley
i orderer a new battery dont know of that will fix the problem i at least hope so.
anyway maybe you guys have some ideas or suggestions...
Please let me know
Greetz Ilias...
Seems just like the typical battery problem, it's likely that your battery is giving up, so it arrives to a point that it might not seem fully discharged but it isn't capable of delivering more current, so the phone shuts off, this is likely to happen when you use the most "demanding" apps.
The problem will go -almost surely- when you change the battery.
bye
Right solution?
Dear Ilio,
Just read your problem, and I think I'll have the same. Did the new battery solves the problem? really wanted to know, I will need to buy a new one as well.
Yours sincerly,
Pieter
I bought a new battery and the problems are gone
pm me if you want more information

Hi there!
I just got a new 2400mAh battery for my charmer (PM16A; 3.7VDC) and turned the device off to completely charge the new batt. For 3h there was no light indicating a charging progress so I turned the charmer on (no LED signal at all) and the OS booted. The system runs extremely slow and the battery status is not being recognised.
Has anybody made some experience with the bigger batteries or any idea why the system runs but no charging is being done? The battery is explicitly displayed to be fully compatible with the MDA Compact II...
Thanks in advance,
Gore
I called the dealer today and he told me that this battery is well known for causing troubles. I sent it back and told the dealer to keep me informed if any improvements are made by the manufacturer. He also told me that this (chinese) manufacturer seems to be the only one building those 2400mAh batteries, so if you're suggesting to buy one, think it over at the moment...
If I get any information about the issue I'll post it here.
So long,
Gore
What ROM is on your device? The batdriver.dll can cause such problems. What is shown? -1%? And what size is said? Does it say 0mA or 2400mA?
Give me infos I'll try to help you with my "how drivers are" skils.
Edit: Seen post now. Can you remember any answers on my questions. Cuase I think it would help others too.
I have cYBERDEls WM6.1 Manila 2d German Ed. installed. It runs perfectly with my old battery, fast and stable, but the battery turns off at 60% (4 years old - no surprise I guess). With the new one it seems to charge, although no orange light present. When entering the battery status in the OS, it said something like status unavailable or battery unavailable. And it runs extremely slow which it does not with the old one.
I'm sorry I cannot say anything about the current size, as the battery status driver of that WM6.1 version is unable to display...
I tried the Battfix.cab as well just to make sure but no change.
Thanks for helping,
Gore
OK that is a batdriver.dll problem. I'll upload some versions later or tomorow. Just try them.
And if you installed batfix.cab it will charge without the light, But the power you're using can also be the power with witch it came. (They are charged to 50%-80% to live long without being used)
-> "I'll upload some versions later or tomorrow"
That would be just great. Lucky me, I didn't actually send the package away yet, but will rip it open again
Which problem is solved by the batdriver.dll?
Btw, good luck with your 6.5 development, I'm really looking forward to it!
The batdriver will hopefully recognize the battery. (I'll give you Prophet and Wizard ones cause they suppoert only the big batteries I think). And WM6.5 will first just be English. Cause I have to translate everything manually to German.
Hope I can fix your problem.
Hey anything new about the batdriver.dll? Did you upload it somewhere or could you post a link to a proper driver in the Prophet or Wizard section if there is one? Sorry for shoving you...
Gore
Soory now time till now. I'll try to get some today or tomorow and post them here.
