Guys i have some serious problem with my atom ... often i see my phone dosent respond when i click on power button .... and i always need to remove battery to make it start the phone again and very often date and time is reset to phone default this is really hard to change often .... any help will be great .... is there any fix or something for this problem ?
This is a battery problem, or a battery connector problem. The phone simply isn't getting energy.
Try cleaning the battery contacts with alcohol. They may just be dirty.
If that doesn't work, try buying a new battery.

Warning! Your Xda II can be hard reset after change battery
I experience hard reset after change battery twice, and also our member of www.pdamobiz.com were complain about Xda II can be hard reset so easy. Even change battery in 1-2 mins. So upset!
Fininally I can find the root cause, that's battery cover in the back.
So, today I take the photos to show that is the real cause. Anyone would like to try, don't forget to backup.
......
Any time that you want to change battery, of course you have to open the battery cover in the back. Then after take out the battery, just put the cover on the back. See picture:
Aha! do you know, the cover is metal, and electricity can passthrough it as same as electric wire. Battery backup of Xda II is also only like Big Capacitor, it's pole are still connect to the contacts.
If unfortunatly, the cover move down forward to the contact as picture.
See at Red Circle. Battery backup will discharge through the metal cover immediately. You just know nothing but after insert new battery you will find new screnn as:
Hard Reset!
So, if you don't want to be as this, do not put the cover or anything that conduct electricity over the back of XdaII while no batterty.
So this is only likely to happen if you short out the contacts 'cause you don't put a battery in when you close the lid!
To be honest that's not something I'd do anyway. Interesting, but not really suprising that this could happen. I guess that you, in effect, short out the internal battery.
like the rest of the xda casing the backpanel is not metal but
painted plastic
and even if it were metal then it would be alu which is a pretty lausy conductor
I didn't believe it but he is correct - I just tried it out myself!
The paint used on the plastic does actually conduct electricity (I know it's a different device but hold an XDAI while charging and then lightly touch a second charging unit and you'll get a slight shock!!)
Still it's probably not a problem for most people because most people only remove the battery to change the SIM card or replace the battery and as such wouldn't ever touch the connectors with the case!
It is not painting, it is a metallic film, it is possibly chromium.
hi all ,
the reason why your XDA is loosing all data when you put the battery cover back without the battery is because the cover pushes the red switch !!!
this is the backup battery switch so you are pushing it to off position ! so there will be no power to support the ROM .
XDA is designed in way that when you want to remove your battery you have to unlock the red switch which is the backup battery switch so you will turn it on to support the ROM.
when you take your battery you are not supposed to turn the switch off before you put the main battery back,so when you are placing the back cover there is no way to fit it in place if the switch in the on position so it is pushing on it back to the off position leaving the ROM without power.

Hard reset when changing battery... there is more to it
Hi all!
I have read with a lot of interest all the couses you described for hard reset while changing battery, but there must be some more.
When I change batter I pay attention to:
1) the lid
2) the red switch position
They are fine, but still the machine hard reset... I believe the problem might be due to the fact that sometimes after a battery change the XDA does not feel the new battery after I switch the red switch back so it doesn't turn on I loose all the memory... any idea on how to avoid it or be sure that the XDA has good contact with the battery before switching the red and crossing fingers...
had a hard reset too
I had a battery-change hard reset too recently.
I'm 99% sure I didn't screw up on the lid or the red switch.
Scarry. I lost two weeks of stuff that wasn't fully backed up.
I change batteries on a regular basis...
Scarry is a lot of people don't bother to make a backup...
I could care less about a hard reset, i just restore my backup from SD-card and sync.
Jpiek,
for me hard reset is still a pain becouse afterwards due to a change in the datestamp the PPC duplicates or deletes contacts in the PPC... so I need to manage the post-back-up sinc and that takes around one hour... are your backups more convenient? What software do you use?
Thanks,
Chris
I just backup useing the standard Xbackup, then re-sync with my up-to-date Outlook on my PC...
Works just fine for me...
Is anything new about this problem of Hardreset?
Hi all :
Just a little question, ammar :
If actually the red switch connects the backup battery, what happens when the standard battery is gone ? How do the backup battery gets active if we don't act the red switch ??
Thanks
hi
i have i-mate ( XDA II ) work only on charger , battry is ok , i tested it on other devices
it work for not more than 1 min and restart again to the startup screen that apper after reset the device to its original state.
i tried flash it and flashing finish ok , upgrading main , extended rom and radio stack but the same problem exist
anyone know what is that please !!!!
Are you sure you are sliding the little red slide/switch inside the battery compartment back into place when you change the battery? This slide switches between backup battery and main battery. It sounds to me like you are running for about 1 min. on the backup battery, then it drains and your device resets.
Is the red switch correctly moved toward the battery?
If so, try jiggling that switch to see if maybe it is not making good contact.
HTH!
thanks for replay
the sw is ok coz if i set it to unlock possion mobile not power on and the red light on
but if i put the battry and lock the key it work in the charger not more than 1 min at all and restart again .
i upgraded its sw and it finish without any problem but still the same
please help
If your imate is not new, try to clean the battery contacts with soft tissue and may be some alcohol, may be there is some grease. Also check for the
status of contact pins.
Also, as u tried the battery with other imate, what about urs with the other battery???
this happened to me
if you got it wet or damp
my xda2 got wet and this happened to me i found if i left it to dry out i took the xda2 apart used a soft tooth brush on the motherboard put it back together and hey presto it worked and didnt hard reset
Hey all, I've searched the forum and not found much at all..
I have no idea why this happened but my Hermes won't turn on at all, power button has no effect whatsoever and when I try to charge it I get the red light of death..
I put it down on my desk with ~80% battery last night and when I went to check for messages (by watching the service LED for a few seconds) in the morning the LED wasn't flashing so I tried waking it up and it was dead.
Plugged it into the charger, RLoD.. what the ****?
Anyone have any idea what could have gone wrong?
Usually caused by something that causes the battery to drain below 10%. Then you can get the RLOD. The charging circuit gets locked up and won't allow the device to charge. A pesky problem, but at least you have the RLOD, if you didn't then it could be the motherboard fuse.
So some things to try, non of them guaranteed and sometimes it works after trying these things several times over:

I have put my battery in my friend's Hermes and it says its 100% charged, I have put his battery in my Hermes and it still won't boot..
It's really weird.. BTW already tried your RLoD fixes, none worked.
I really hope I can fix it, I keep trying to slide open the non-existent qwerty keyboard on my Magician and it's frustrating using an OSK :S

Other than hard reset (don't think you mentioned doing that) I have only one other suggestion and that is the battery contacts. Hopefully not fractured between the pins and motherboard, but worth a try at cleaning the contacts and pushing the battery against the contacts.
If that doesn't work then I fear a motherboard fault.
Mike
Ok well for some reason my Hermes decided to boot up this morning after sitting on my desk for a night..
Weird stuff..

It is strange. Sometimes charges can build up within capacitors in a circuit and the "logic" can be disrupted. This is why sometimes it's a good idea with some faults to leave the battery out for a while to clear any such charges. However in your case with all the battery swapping and so on, I am a little sceptical that this was the cause.
If it happens again, I'd certainly be looking for a fault between battery connectors and the battery or between the connectors and the motherboard.
Let's hope that's it cured however

Hi,
I have a Jasjam PPC. But the problem is that it's not charging at all. When I put it in charge only red light glow either with battery inserted or battery removed. So, is it time to replace my battery or there is some problem with the Jasjam? I have done resetting during the charge but its not working also. Since my battery is totally drained up so there's not any kind of screen light during pressing power button.
PLZ I NEED HELP...........
Thanks.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I have tried the recommended first 2 methods and last method is still left to try but I feel that Its time to buy a new battery becaz the battery is 2 years old. And I also feel that its totally RLOD problem becaz I carry 2 phones and don't pay much attention to this jasjam therefore I dont usually charge it frequently. I have left it uncharged for many times and thus there isn't any problem with motherboard fuse in my opinion. I will try my most to make the battery work.
One suggestion needed. The place where I live dont have any Imate shop but the HTC shop is near. Since TyTyn and Jasjam are nearly the same device should I buy the tytyn's battery and insert it in JASJAM.
Again ur reply needed.
thanks

To the best of my knowledge the batteries are the same. My concern is that a new battery will not solve a "locked up" charging circuit. If however it is a bettery fault then it will cure the problem - and a different battery has been known to unlock the circuit, thus allowing the old battery to start charging again.
You are correct about the fuse being OK. The red LED will not light if the fuse is blown.
Mike
Thanks a ton for your reply. And I gonna do all of your provided tricks to cure my JASJAM's RLOD disease.
I need some days to update the result. So I will let u know if i get my device working as soon as possible.
Thanks again for the help.
Thanks my phone's battery is charging again.
But i got one problem and that's my phone is showing that its speaker is on. there's speaker icon always on the top of the start menu taskbar although I cant switch on speaker in call and in some program. How to set it to default? I dunno want to reset my PPC.

First I'm pleased you got it charging again. Please tell us what you did that got it working - new battery?, one of the "tricks" mentioned above??
Regarding the speaker problem. When you tap the speaker icon I assume you get two sliding volume controls - one for earpiece and one for rear loudspeaker?? I also assume you have both set correctly??
If you have the volume on both set correctly, we need to know if you get sound from the rear speaker on any programs at all. Can you play music for example. If the answer is NO then I suspect your rear speaker push on connector has slipped off (not uncommon). If so look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1376254&postcount=2
If however you do get sound from the rear loudspeaker on some applications, then the above is not your problem.
Mike
I think that the second option worked for me if I am right.
And for the speaker problem, I think that you didn't understand my question.
My rear speaker works during music or in programs. But the only problem is that when I switch the speakerphone(loudspeaker) mode during the call, it's not working(not rear one). And the speakerphone icon which we see only during call is showing all the time, that's the problem and I cant switch to loudspeaker during the calls even if the loud icon is always there. I hope u understand the problem or I will post the picture.
Thank you for giving your precious time.
Can anyone give me some advice on my mda ameo,it keeps turning off and when I press the power button its like a soft reset.Sometimes it only gets as far as windows mobile and shuts down again.Any clues etc would be grateful,many thanks ANTHONY ps I've changed the battery but the problem is still there
I suggest getting a new battery - I had the same problem, a new battery fixed it. Most LIon batteries, irrespective of wear, tend to die after 2-3 years.
Hi my friend,I thought the same and got a new battery but the problem is still there !
Is the battery firmly seated? Every once in a while the lock on my battery will lift enough that the battery will disconnect. You could be getting just enough contact to start up, but once the power is flowing the terminals or battery could be be warming up just enough to separate. Have you tried to boot while its plugged in?
