loose of programs - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Is this right.
i have an old MDA compact and I am in the process of unlocking, the expensive way through my service provider. I put on tomtom for my girlfriend as she is having the thing.
It was left for a week or so so wasn't charged and everything I did to set it up has gone, including the programs like tomtom I put on.
How annoying is that?
Knowing my girlfriend this will be a regular occerance as chargin her phone is somehting she never does. or buy credit, or turn it on, or answer calls.

u have to charge r phone regularly. never let the battery run dry as otherwise u will loose all the info in ur phone. remember u have a chip inside ur phone which is running all the time so it needs power all the time. any loss of power will delete all the info in the phone. when not using the phone put it on flight mode as it saves battery.

big problem, after taking battery out, Jam resets

The battery says its 100%. But everytime i take the battery out for 5 sec and put it back in again and turn on the pda, it is as if it has resetted and the stuff comes as if im putting it on for the first time (ie. the tap the screen and application stuff installs come) and everything is wiped off.
Looks like your battery is dead. Go back to your supplier and have it replaced
You mean the backup battery is dead?
i have the same problem
and i chang the backup battery
and update jame
and it's same whin u remove battery for 5 sec the phone do a hard rest
how can i solve this
plz helppppp
On Himalaya this ocurs too, but ONLY when the Phone was on (ie not in flight mode) when you take out the battery.
Remedy: Put phone in flight mode before taking out battery!
Maybe that also works with the Magician
But, every time you open the cover for the main battery, you switch off the device! There is a switch. Putting it bach into your MDA, you switch it on. Just this way...
Exactly, you switch OFF the device when the Phone is ON.
The are three ways to switch something OFF:
1. Go into Flight mode: Switches off the Radio functionality (including the Phone)
2. Switch off the PDA: Use the power-button, Radio Functionality remains active
3. Take out battery: All off!
When you take out the battery, the Phone (ie the Radio) has to be OFF to avoid a hard-reset.
When you take out the battery when the Phone is OFF, you only get a soft-reset
With my previous Xda II, I have the same problem too. But I think it's the small switch that cause the hard reset. When removing the battery we have to slide down the switch. After taking up the battery don't ever try to slide up the switch with the battery not in the place. Only when the battery is in its place then you should slide down the switch to lock the battery.

I tried turning on the flight mode before taking out the battery.. but the magician still resets!..
Any other suggestions?
With the Jam/mini, you NEED to flick the soft red plastic "Battery lock" out of its slot on the right hand side, or you will run the risk of a hard reset. You don't pull it right off, just flick it away from its "Locked" position. Not sure why a proper switch could not have been built in on the left hand side.

The red rubber is not connected to any kind of circuit.. it is there jsut to keep the battery tight.. anyways i tried it.. and my mini still hard resets..
Thanks for the input tho.
i have the same problem too... hard reset everytime i take the battery out even only 5 secs. i did turn the flight mode on, then press the power button. its not help. still hard reset. do you think the backup battery is dead?? how to check this? because its always show 100%.. please help.
hi all... for who has the same problem like mine (take out batery then got hard reset instead of softreset), the solution is: SENT IT BACK FOR REPAIR TO THE SERVICE CENTRE.
also, dont forget to write: " please change my RF/MAIN BOARD" otherwise, they will change ur backup battery only, and this wont solve the problem.
i got mine fixed, and i get new IMEI number as a result. first, they replace the backup battery only, and WITHOUT CHECK it, send the phone back to me. im shocked to find that it still had the same problem. made a serious complaint and send it back, this time the manager take care of my phone directly.. hehhehehe.... well, thats the story... thx for all of u that read n give comments about this problem.

No life from 8525

Hi everyone, I am in a bit frustrated. I did some reading and pretty much it goes like this, I had a road trip this weekend and wasn't able to charge my phone correctly (I used a TomTom car charger) everthing was fine. The phone was working, till I received a call (battery said 50%) and in the middle of the call it died (no battery warning nothing). I couldn't connect the phone at that time because the person I was traveling with decided I didn't need my phone and they needed theirs. so I let it go and tried to connect it when I got home. Nothing when I got home, the LED on the connector is lit, but the phone responds to nothing. Not with the battery out or in while connected. If the phone is dead, is it repairable? or should I just start looking for a new phone?
Well, looks like your battery did not survive your TomTom charger!
If you have the possibility: go to an AT&T store and see if they can give you a battery for testing purposes. Or, if you know someone nearby with a 8525, ask him to shortly put his battery in your device. If your phone works with that battery, simply go to eBay or elsewhere and buy yourself a new battery!
I appreciate the laugh junner, I am thinking the same. AT&T are a bunch idiots the first guy said that's not a phone they carry (nor did they ever, silly when it says at&t on it). so a batteries plus or ebay is in my near future. still trying to find a person at my job with a 8525.
ok new battery and its dead. so my question now is can I wipe my device in anyway before I try to sell it?
Did you try to recharge without the battery? I ask this because if you get a red light then it may not be dead...
Mike Channon has a site to go to for things of this nature or give him a pm as I'm pretty sure he said that sometimes the part of the phone responsible for charging sort of goes to sleep and needs to be shocked back to life but can't for the life of me remember where I read it. He may be able to tell you how to fix so you don't have to sell...
Just a thought...
Cheers...

Phone won't turn on!

Hello guys.
I have a Jade (Touch 3g) which I have hard-spl'd and installed the SpaceJade WM6.5 rom like 2-3 months ago. Yesterday I have turned off the device and took out the battery to check the serial number. Device was working perfectly fine until I turned it off. Than I have noted the serial number and put the battery back in. Than I left my desk for like 45 minutes.
When I got back, I remembered that I did not turned it on. And when I tried to turn it back on, nothing happens! I have tried to charge it but even charging light is not lighting up!
I have tried the volume down + middle button + power button combination, even pressing the reset button, but no luck.
It is probably a hardware issue, which requires an authorized service station to look at it. But the problem is, I have hard-spl'd it and they are probably going to claim that it is out of warranty.
So my question is, which is really quite silly (but I still need to try), is there any way to load stock-spl before I send it to service station? I know it is not possible to install stock-spl without turning it on but maybe there is a chance
By the way, I did not made any chance on the phone or installed any programs in last one month.
may be..
Sometimes you simply have not correctly installed battery, so your phone can not give it power

no, I have installed the battery correctly, no problem. It is not possible to insert it in wrong direction anyway.
by the way, I have measured the battery with a multimeter, it reads 3,8 volts so battery is OK.

[Q] Hard reset of data after the phone goes off when the battery drains out complete

I have been facing this problem since quite a long time , i tried to change the wp7 roms even but still the same problem . When battery is completely finished it does the hard reset which causes all data , applications , messages and all to wipe out . YOUR HELP WOULD MAKE A GREAT DIFFERENCE . "THANKS"
this is going to sound obvious and i mean absolutely no offence to you but
Dont let it run out, i use mine a lot and its came close a few times but once i get to about 30mA left it gets switched off i do this not because of this hard reset issue which i knew nothing about, but because of the stories of not being able to charge at all if you run it dry to the point it wont turn on
Few times had the battery discharged so the phone gone to the off state. Never got HR of the phone.
In any case there is an electric residue. Maybe it happened because residue had also gone, so the phone couldn't turn on at all.
1. If Your phone turned of because of low battery, don't try to turn it on without a charger.
Magldr turns on Your phone if it's been docked (started charging). Registering in the network takes some resources, so the phone goes off again. Then again on and off. The phone is not charging.
To charge the phone I pulled out my sim-card (or if You have pin verification on Your sim card, just don't enter it). May be this helps someone
My battery run out few times too and I even tried to remove battery when the phone was on. Everything was there after reboot/charging. Something is wrong with your setup.
I had the same issue with my phone last night. Lost my activation, downloads and all. Kinda mad but i wont let it get that way again. anyone have an idea why this would happen while im venting?

How did you know how much power spend the battery ( you say about 30mA ), and where is the app to know this...
Thanks ans sorry for my English...
Same thing happened to me last night. lost my partition too! wp7 reclaimed the android side of the sd card and reformatted all 16 gb. crap!!

hot battery

hi i used my xperia play this morning to make a few phones call after an hour i could feel the battery getting hot in my pocket, checked phone it was turned off i tried to turn it on it vibrated and it went to sony ericsson screen and its just sitting there now, i have rooted the phone 2 days ago using gingerbreak , have i bricked the phone?, or is it something to do with battery
From what i understand you cannot brick the phone from rooting. Since all you are doing is gaining admin rights. Did you possibly uninstall something you shouldnt have after rooting? Did you follow the safe apps to remove thread?
Maybe the battery is not in properly? Try taking the battery out leave it for 5-10 mins. Then place it back into phone and replace the cover firmly. Without turning the phone on put it on charge for an hour or so then try turning it back on.
hi thanks for the respone i am no where near my charger, so i will try that when i go home thanks,does the phone turn on if its bricked or what happens
I think if it is bricked when you power on the phone it will vibrate then nothing. But yours is going to the se screen. Not sure tbh since i have not seen a bricked phone.
