After waking up this morning, getting ready and grabbing me phone before I take the nippa 2 school, I hold down the power button to switch it on and get a brief flash of the orange led and a flash of white from the screen and then nudda! not a blip, take the battery out and put it back, again nothin! Tried charging it again (had been on charge all night mind) again nothin, didn't even register I'd plugged it in. Last dying effort, time for a hard reset, again to my surprise, nothing! It had officially died. T-Mobile no questions asked, replaced my phone on the spot without even having to check my one and I am using it now. I swear it is faster! I also swear it had a different boot up procedure when it did the tmobile configuration. I'm happy that all the keys work and I think the slide feels a bit more sturdy on this. Anyone else had any replacements?
i work in a t-mob shop, i got a bit sick of the screen alignment issues ( even backed off the screws on teh back of teh screen and still got issues sometimes )
so i swapped mine and yeah no issues so far, havent felt it getting so damn HOT as the last one. although today i did have the keyboard stop working til i reset....
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
which shop do u work in maybe some of the users on this forum having trouble with their devices could nop down to ya for a replacement...

Can you imagine the hassle he would get if he lets us know where he works? I work for Carphone Warehouse and we get enough hassle as it is lol!
i suppose yiu are correct
hey everyone,
i have this really weird problem,
when i plug in my charger, the right led turns orange to indicate the uni is charging.
the problem is, when the charging is over and the battery reaches a 100%, the uni just gets stuck!
if it was on standby mode while the led turned green, the phone is dead.
cant turn it on, cant call it, cant do nothing, the green light doesnt even turn off when i unplug it!
However, if the device was on while the charging was over, it is still fully operatable, but the green light won't turn off also, no matter what i do. even the iLauncher indicator and the normal battery indicator shows its still charging.
at first i thought it was the "hide battery icon" hack i installed, but i uninstalled and got the icon back, it and the problem is still there.
the only solution is to soft reset. but this is very uncomfortable - i cant reset my phone every evening
BTW, im using brand new battery, just a few days old, but i don't think this happend to me all the time with it. do you think it might be the problem?
what's wrong with my uni??
Please help!
i have an spv m5000, with an i-mate jasjar rom (i find it more comfortable)
Rom: 1.90.96 WWE
Radio: 1.13.00
ExtROM: 1.95.95 WWE (but i cooked it and removed + added some programs)
Same problem here. Please help! I've tried two new batteries, same story.

Actually you already answered your problem, it is probably caused by one of your apps since a soft reset cures it. I suggest do a Backup and try a hard reset and see if it still persist. If the problem went away, then it confirms that it is caused by one of your apps, otherwise it could be the battery or a hardware problem.

I just upgraded to the latest orange rom yesterday and the problem was still there.
but i only checked that AFTER i installed all the apps again. stupid me.
so i hard resetted again and im charging now. results should be in about 1 hour.
but yesterday when i checked, i found out something very interesting:
when i switched back to the old original battery, the problem was GONE, and the uni was working perfectly.
so this suggests this is a battery problem.
i looked at the batteries side by side and found out there are a few minor differences:
1. the original was made in taiwan, while the new one from ebay was from china.
2. they had a different product number underneath the barcode.
3. the new one was a little lighter than the original.
(made me think: might it be a fake?)
besides that, they had the same voltage, same 1620mah, and both was packed by dynapack, supposedly.
after going back to ebay, i found out there is another battery for sale, a little more expansive than the one i bought, but this one WAS made in taiwan,
but still had a different product number. the other ones were just like the on i bought. made in china, and the same product number as my new one.
so nekdo123, can you please check your batteries too, and see where did they come from?
i'll post some pics later on to show you the batteries.
Original one was made in Taiwan. Second one was made in China and third one in Hong Kong.
I'll try original one again (I've stored it) and will report in one or two hours (just to charge it).
I've bought a new one when original one started to shut down my PDA at 45% of battery power.
I've also tried many ROM's (original ones, hacked ones, radio 1.09 and 1.13,...), and problem stays.
hmm, interesting.
well, no surprises: my charging is complete and the problem still stays with the new battery.
funny though, i bought a new battery because of the same problem: my original one started to crash my pda at 59%.
i added a picture to show you the product numbers. the above battery is the original one, the one in the pda is the new one from ebay.
you can even see the font on the battery is a little different.
is the product number on your battery from china the same as mine? how about the one from taiwan?
Yes, they are! Hong kong's has tottally different Model No. (CS-EXECSL).
Did you try putting original one back in and to see, what happens with it at full charge?
yep, as i said:
but yesterday when i checked, i found out something very interesting:
when i switched back to the old original battery, the problem was GONE, and the uni was working perfectly.
so this suggests this is a battery problem.

i fully charged it untill the green light came on and the device wasn't stuck. it was still working perfectly, and the green led turned off after disconnectig the charger, and i was able to continue to work as usual.
Ups, I should remember, that you've alredy wrote that.
Well, it seems that it's battery problem. The BIG question now is, what battery to buy? I've bought two different ones and both are not working.
I've looked at eBay and found DYNA TAIWAN made batteries. But, they have same PN as this China ones, without "M" on end of it. So, I don't dare to buy third one, without knowin that it'll work!
What will you do?

I would rather walk to the stores than ordering from the Net...
I presume it may be fake batteries and that's why u can got it cheap....sorry if i'm wrong..
The only problem is the price. It's 5 times higher than over net.
yep, it the same problem here in israel.
the one thats made in tawian costs about 23$ at ebay (if i remember correctly), and it costs about 105$ in stores (in israel).
i think im gonna wait till i finish all my expanses on the universal (2gb sd card, silicone case, etc...) and after a couple of monthes when i have more spare money i'll just buy the one from taiwan.
and by the way, i wasn't referring to the product number on the right, the one without the "M" in the end.
i was talking about the one underneath the barcode, the one that starts with "DY..."
by the way, notice the one from taiwan:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-XDA-Exe...ryZ75446QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
they state its an "Original Dynapack Battery", while the others don't mention anything about it.
Now I've bought this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/PolarCell-Li-Po...6822659QQihZ012QQcategoryZ38918QQcmdZViewItem
Will tell you when I get it, how's with it.
brave of you, buying a third one so soon
i wasn't able to see it's picture in the details, though.
where was it made? and what about the p/n?
and btw, what brand of universal do you have? is it orange spv-m5000 aswell?
looking forward to hearing the results.
I still hope that it's a battery fault. After third one I don't know what else I can do.
Mine is O2 XDA EXEC. I don't know, why you're asking about serial numbers, but here they are:
Taiwan't: DY8A85AD000980, China's: DY8A658N002140. Maybe you'll figure out something from these numbers?
Actually I bought an used PDA. the seller gave me one of new batteries I have. I've bought one, because his "new" didn't work (had simptoms like your's). So, I've bought another one, thinking, it's a battery problem, because with original one, PDA work like it should.
Will see, how works fourth one
Hello shlomki!
I've received battery today and I've tested it. It works like a charm (and stone rolled away from my heart - imagine, that there is a problem with PDA not with battery).
So, I recommend you this seller.
The seller of my second battery(Hong Kong's one) also sent me a new battery. I'll receive it next week. Will tell you if there is any difference with that one (if not else, I'll have it for backup - of course, if it'll work).
hey!
thats great to hear!!!
i feel that stone also, now that i can get a battery that works for sure!
how did you get your hong kong seller to send you a new battery?!
how did you convince him? did you have to send the old one back to him??
i see that the new battery you ordered is 1800mah, how does that work for you with charging it to the fullest? does it work like any other 1620mah battery??
How did I convince Hong Kong's seller? I didn't give him an opinion on eBay. I wanted to try battery before I do that. And after it didn't work, I just wrote him an email, that I have a battery problem. The next day he sent me an email, that he sent me a new battery and asked how can we arrange sending "old" one back to him on his costs!
I wrote him, that costs are so low, that there is really no problem about that. So, I'll wait till I receive a new one and then I'll send him old one back.
I don't know why, but I have a feeling that it also won't work (same serie, same error - I guess it's a chip error in battery). Will see when I receive it.
About new battery. Yes, it's like normal 1620mAh (maybe charging takes minute more or less - don't know, didn't time it). But, it's stronger and I think it should las that few % more time.
Yust for info. I've got a replacement battery today. Same problem! So I guess, there are different hardware revisions of Universals and not all batteries will work in all revisions.
Luckily Polar Cell's one works like a charm!
So I consider myself fairly tech savvy. I'm running dcd's 3.3.4 firmware on a Mogul I bought used on eBay. Suffice it to say that returning it to the eBay company is not an option.
The device will randomly freeze, not awaken from its sleeping state. When it's sleeping, I don't receive missed call notifications or any texts I would have received.
When I do a soft reset, the device doesn't boot most of the time. Most of the time it will freeze on the green Windows 6.1 intro screen, but sometimes before that, and sometimes after that. I haven't come across a scenario that allows me to boot every time, but the one with which I have had most success is removing the battery, waiting 20 seconds, putting it back in, then booting up with the MicroSD card ejected.
I noticed that the wifi on the device doesn't work at all, it never has. I don't know if it's related to the other issues, but it's definitely worth mentioning.
I had the same issues (only worse) BEFORE the dcd rom flash, so I'm certain that the issue is hardware related. Given that this is the case, is there anything I can do? I'm willing to try anything...
I'm on Sprint btw.
I read somewhere that Sprint will do a replacement on a non-insured phone for $55 using their Self Service Solutions: http://www.nextel.com/en/services/service_repair/self_service_solutions.shtml
Can anyone confirm/deny this?
wouldnt hurt to try, worst thing they can say is no. im on sprint myself and i also got my mogul from ebay. I dont have the problems you have been having, mine does freeze every now and then but its few and far inbetween. Have you tried a different rom?
Yes, my HTC Touch Pro arrived today, supposedly because they ran out of Moguls to send out. I'm OK with them upgrading my phone for the measly $55 I was going to pay for the same phone fixed
I'll let you know how it goes, ensuring they really only charge me the $55.
I picked up my Glacier used a couple of months ago. Everything seemed fine when I bought it, fine when I took it home, fine when I had CM6 on it.
I put CM7 on it recently and started using it as a daily driver. Now I have a problem - sometimes the backlight won't come back on when I go to unlock the phone! I can tell that the LCD is working by holding it up to a light source, but the backlight isn't doing anything at all.
The first time this happened, I thought, OK, probably CM7 nightly craziness. I yank the battery, turn it on, and... still nothing! The white mytouch logo screen comes on with zero backlight. Bad news, it seems like - I try rebooting again, this time to CWM recovery - still not working. Then, while I'm staring at it the recovery screen under a flashlight... *boom* it lights up. I didn't even do anything!
Since that time I've seen the problem recur several more times. Every time it eventually comes back to life, seemingly randomly, and I have no idea what the reason is.
So, questions:
1) Is it even possible that this could be a software problem at its core? The fact that the backlight was still off even on the boot logo and in CWMR makes it seem unlikely to me, but it's worth asking.
2) If it's *not* a software problem, since I bought this thing used, is there any chance that HTC or T-Mobile would honor the warranty if I flash it back to stock? I've never tried a warranty repair with HTC and I don't know what their policy on used gear is.
3) If it's a hardware problem and HTC won't fix it, is this repair something I can potentially do myself? I like to tinker with stuff and I'm not afraid to take things apart; I wonder if it could be something as simple as a loose cable, but I also wonder if it's the backlight itself.
4) Where can I source replacement components for this device? I tried to find a replacement backlight online, but I didn't have any luck.
Thanks!
I say, call up tmobile and ask for warranty replacement. Don't mention it was bought used and they probably wont ask. If they do ask, you could say you bought it outright online, not from their store or website. Amazon and places do sell them new, so they really can't know.
If they will not replace it, then you may need to tear into it.
Bump! Any other ideas?

Any luck?
I have the same issue. Were you able to fix it?
So last week my N910F (rooted) ran down to 20% battery and so i put it on charge, thought nothing of it, A couple hours later the phone was dead, extremely hot to touch and just a blank screen with no charging lights, So i unplugged the charger removed the battery and let it cool for about 10 mins, when i put it back together it refused to turn on, tried both recovery and download modes but still nothing tried different chargers and still no lights, nothing. took it back to my local O2 shop to see if i could send it off for repair.
Got home this evening and O2 had kindly returned my phone to my home address, with a letter saying the following -
Thank you for sending us your phone to be fixed.
One of our engineers, has tested your phone and found that unauthorised rework has been carried out on the phone. Unfortunately, this prevents us from repairing it and we are, therefore returning your phone un-repaired.
well after reading this my heart sank and i was guessing i would have to make a insurance claim and hope my insurance would somehow replace it.
I then noticed on inspection of the phone, there was for some reason a new charging cable included with the phone!!!?. I looked a bit further and noticed they had taken the phone apart and it seems they have replaced the charging port, the battery also looks brand new and there isnt a scratch on it (I had previously marked it) So it seems they have indeed carried out some work, So i plugged it into the charger and guess what, it now works fine!!!!!!!!
So thank you very much O2 repair centre!! Im guessing they had to fix it first before they could test if it was rooted or not!!! their letter was a bit confusing though!! :laugh: :laugh:
Congratulations
Sent from my SM-N910F
Does anybody find it weird that o2 would fix mjw2k11's Note 4 only to send it back to him saying that they couldn't fix it because he had messed around with the firmware? Anyway I'm glad that you managed to get your Note 4 fixed.
i dont find it weird. It wont turn on right. but 'O2' wont repair if anyone modify's their phone. So they want to turn it on to see if it has been modified & unofficial but they cant even do that yet. The logical thing for them is to try to get it to boot up, which they did by changing a battery or fixing inside. (which solved the OP's problem). O2 then see's that Knox counters been tripped & they dont do anything further & send it back to the owner. Happy & lucky he is
