my magician phone do the following :
when some time put in my pocket or left for a long time when i open it the call and disconnect and indicator lights seem as they are trying to light but fail and nothing on screen and when i press the power button many times trying to make the screen display anything it do Hard Reset
something else when put in the charger for a long time it the same problem light is week and no display when pressing the power button and then Hard Reset some times it works fine for couple of weeks and some time it hard reset many times in the same day i suspect that the cause is backup battery but there is no notification appears telling me that the backup battery is empty or damage and also if the backup battary is the cause that doesn't explain the Hard Reset on Charger
any one have any idea about what may be the cause

Is it possible to remove the battery for about 10 seconds without hard resetting and if so how is this done. ta
Yes, you can even go longer than that, as long as the backup battery holds charge. Yes, it has an internal backup battery. Go to System/Settings/Power and it will display how much power is left both for the main and backup battery.
Is there a particular technique cos in the past every time i've flicked the little red lock switch it's hard reset.
Also I read elsewhere that you need to make sure that the phone is in flight mode as the backup battery can't power the phone??
please advise
I'm not sure but afaik, removing the battery (flicking the red switch of course) will turn the pda and radio off coz when you put back the battery (and the red switch), it will soft reset the device. I guess you shouldn't flick back the red switch until the battery is replaced.
Don't drain the backup battery for it will hard reset your device.
There is a problem with some XDAs that when the battery is removed it causes a hard re-set, this is because of a fault in the XDA and should be sent back for repair.
Hi all,
My phone is completely dead. My phone ran down to about 5% battery last nite so I plugged it in to charge and thought nothing of it. When I got up this morning however the phone had not charged for some reason and the phone was totally dead. No lights were on and nothing happened when I tried a soft reset or the power button. I left it all day and then pressed the four buttons to do a hard reset and the screen came up saying to press the reset button to continue or any other button to carry on. I pressed one of the front buttons and the phone started to boot but then faded away to nothing before I could plug it in.
Now, nothing happens at all when I press the four buttons...Also the litle slide button to open the battery cover doesn't seem to work and the cover won't come off.
Does this sound like a battery problem? Or is the USB connector screwed, which would explain why it didn't charge?
I haven't done anything unusual with the phone recently or installed anything new...
Can anyone suggest anything?
sounds like your battery exploded....make every effort to remove it and insert a new one. my battery also began to swell somehow but i was able to remove it before it damaged the device...
Hope you get it fixed soon...
lol thanks! Just need to get the battery remove slider button working I guess...
My SPV simply does not turn on today. Last night it was working OK. I did not drop it or even cherge it!
It sounds like the battry is flat but when I plug it to my computer or direct to the power supply nothing happens and the device remain dead. I have tried hard rest, soft reset with combination of power and camera button. No Joy! Do you mind to instruct me on what on earth might have happened to my poor SPV? Waiting for someone's kind instruction. Cheers
What level was your battery at ,the charging circuit is notorious for being flaky.the charger outputs 5v+/- something or other,it may be possible to jolt the circuit back to life by using a 6v charger,a universal one would do.go to orange and ask to use another battery.if all else fails is it under warranty?
good luck
have a look at this link

I am affraid the problem looks more complicated since I checked the battery and it is full! I have even tried to over charge battery but still no luck! I am really confused here because I have done nothing wrong with the phone whatsoever.
Can anybody think about some other possibilities?
Many Thanks.

Very curious - a couple of things:
1. You mention a soft reset (which is stylus in hole) but you mention camera button.
2. You mention hard reset (which is simultaneously press the two soft keys on dpad and stylus in hole) Try this again if you were using a different key combo. (camera key not used for this)
3. You may have tried but Iwould leave the battery out for a good period - even overnight and then re-try.

Cheers Mike, I left the battery out for almost 15 hrs. still nothing. I have even tried hard reset, 10 times

What are you pressing to get a soft reset, is it that little round hole in the bottom?
Hard reset is where you press the two - buttons above the green and red phone buttons whilst pressing reset.
So you've tried the resets and they don't work. When you plug it into the computer or charger, do you get any lights on, even breifly?
I notice you're on Orange UK. I would advise you call up Orange Customer Services (I know, a pain on a landline or non mobile ) and explain to them that the phone does not switch on, reset or anything and you think it's faulty. They should have one out to you in 24 hours under either the warranty or care plan.
If you have the insurance though they'll charge you £15 for the delivery costs
Good luck
Thanks for the instruction. I am affraid I am outside UK at the moment. That is why I am desperate to find a solution since I have got no phone available. Regarding your question about the light, I am affraid I get no lights whatsoever! even when I connect it to the main power supply.
sorry bud but it sounds like its kaput,you could try one last thing remove battery and place phone in zip loc bag/freezer bag and place in freezer for an hour or so ,did you try a new battery as they form an integral part of the charging circuit if its damaged,even with residual charge,it may prevent phone from powering
Guys, my Jasjar just died today while I had about 1/8th of the bar left. I didn't see it die with my own eyes, I just put it in my pocket, when I brought it out next it was dead.
Now I am worried about whether it is just a battery problem or if the hardware is really shot. Whenever I try to press the reset button the orange LED lights up for a split second, then nothing. If the unit is plugged in to a PC via USB the PC will detect it momentarily, then tell me there was an error recognizing the device.
If I press both Soft Keys the Orange LED flashes momentarily and I end up getting the boot loader screen where I can press 0 to reset to factory defaults or x to cancel. Regardless of which I do the phone dies out immediately afterwards.
With these symptoms, can anyone here tell me whether it is a battery problem or a hardware problem with the phone itself (and thus needing far more drastic repairs).
I am hoping it is just a battery problem.
Please advise, thanks.
Just an update if anyone has the same problem, I was able to fix the problem by re-flashing my ROM.
Hi, hope someone can help. Baterry went dead whilst on a call, it was low. Tried to recharge through USB "device not recognised". Tried power and Orange LED comes on momentarily then phone cycles through booting. Sometimes you can see the boot screen other time just the vibration is felt. Tried soft reset hard reset every which way power on whilst connected, power off etc. Removed battery tried again, same. Left battery out for 30 minutes, same. It now appears to be stuck in bootloader screen and still cycling. How long does one have to leave the battery out? What else can I try???
Jerry rigged another destop charger so I could align the contacts and got some charge in the battery. Put it back in and charging normally, phone booted up as though nothing had happened. No hard reset evidence.
