My X01HT led is red - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I got this problem last night. It started when I got my hermes dead, but after trying to charge the battery, the led turns to red. I've read on wiki (hermes problem) and try all possible solutions suggested there. Unfortunately, those don't solve my problem. Today, I am going to ask softbank shop (where I bought it from) to fix it.
The problem is, mine is flashed several times using English ROM from this forum. I also unlock it using code method, which base on imei calculation (at least that what Kevbodian, whom I got the code from, said)
My question is, is my phone still protected by Softbank warranty? I need this in order to make me feel confident when I try to communicate my problem to softbank officers. Thank you

Sounds like an overdischarged battery, pretty common. What I learned with HTC phones is that you should just never let their battery run down completely until it turns off by itself, but rather turn it off yourself at 10% unless you have the charger at hand. The shutdown threshold is always set a bit too low.
The last method in the list (the 3xAAA batteries) should work. I've always revived them by doing the same in a more "serious" way with decent equipment.
The problem is that by the time the phone turns off, and especially if you don't plug the charger right after, the battery voltage will drop enough for the phone to judge it as faulty and refuse to charge it. Charging the battery a bit outside of the phone to bring the voltage up a bit is enough.

Get you a cheap battery on eBay!
At least you can flash in case you will have to mail it in afterwards ...

Thanks for your reply. I'll try once more. Just to make sure, there are six pins on the battery. The + and - mark do not point to specific pins, but at the middle of 5th and 6th pin for - and between 1st and 2nd pin for +. Do I have to connect those two pins for each + and - or only the 1st and the last pin? Thank you.

Were you able to figure it out? I'm in the same boat as you and I already tried the first and the last pin without any luck.

Well, finally I sent the phone to Softbank. I think my problem is not at the battery. After trying to use another battery from working phone, I came to the conclusion that I got problem with my handset. Hopefully, I'll get it back alive within 15 days, otherwise I have to pay rental fee for the phone that they lent me.

I got message from softbank today. It said my phone has been fixed. I'll see what they did to it, especially the ROM. I hope they didn't lock my phone.

XDA does not start, Status LED Red

Hi all
About 4 weeks ago my XDA 2 was out of Battery and i wanted to charge it in the craddle. But when i put the XDA 2 in my craddle (with attatched power supply) the status led only turned RED and nothing else happend. After 30 minutes the status led turns off. I can not power on the xda, not with a soft reset and even not with a hard reset. So i thougt that the battery is maybe dead (too old or whatever ) and i bought a new one....but..... still the same problem!
When i charge the battery directly in the craddle (that works! led on the craddle changes after a few hours from orange to green) and put it after that back into the XDA 2.......... nothing happens....
please help
Hi,
I have the very same problem since month ago, I upgraded to wm2k5 2.03.32wwe, did a change in the system, and after 24h, my phone went dead
Did you do a rom upgrade or in any way altered something in the system? Let us know if you get it work, ok?
J.
The only ROM Update i made was the official one from O²... And this was half a year ago.
Well but..... I SOLVED IT! But i cannot say how... The only thing i've done is that i opened the XDA2 and deconstructioned it in its parts... Well and when i "just for fun" tried to connect the battery to the battery connectors..... DING DING So i assembled it again and now it works fine!
I also cleaned a lot of dirt out of it, maybe this was the reason. I will keep an eye on this...
But thanks for your efforts...
Greetings Ben
Da*n it, you lucky guy,
I wish I get off with such a simple solution. I do not have the right tools but I am out just now and getting the things I need. Fingers crossed
Red light means, you have problem with battery. At first check, if you have closed red lock on the bottom of battery. There is no switch to sense rear cover, so, it doesn't matter, if it put or not.
If battery is installed, lock closed, but you still have red light - try to obtain for a minute working battery from another Himalaya and have a try. If it does not work too... seems it's a hardware problem there.
Same thing happened to me I just took the battery out and left it for a few minutes then back in and it works
John P
Thanks for your reply guys. I've tried everything you guys suggested, but I've been unsuccessful in starting my PDA. It's been like this for 2 months, I've tried taking out the battery, changing the battery etc, but still nothing. So I figured out it's probably a problem with the b/l mode, since I'm unable to enter b/l at all. I gave it to of mine who's a little more tech savvy, he's got the right tools to take the chip out, and if he can manage to flash the b/l. Has anyone done that. If yes, please advise. My friend has fixed some BIOS's for laptops etc, but this will be his first PDA. He said that he doesn't have a board for the PDA chip but will try to work it out some way around. Perhaps someone can advise me where to get that board from?
Anyway, I will keep you posted,and if you guys have any more ideas or experiences, please share.

Universal gets stuck right after charging led turns green. help!

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!

My Touch HD is Dead :(

I think my Touch HD is Dead I am not sure about it too because i can't seem to power it on ... So anyone with some idea before i call the HTC
Open the back cover and press the little red reset button.
Hopefully that works. Mine sometimes will do that, and reset fixes it.
Thanks for the replay mate I tried it still its not powering on
Perhaps the battery has died, tried plugging the power cable in?
Actualy, i have my new HD dead after two weeks working. Two days ago my battery didn´t charge and orange led stops after a few seconds of plugg charger. Seller has sended today a new battery to try it. No success. Friday i´ll receive a new device to change them. It seems problem is due to internal charging circuit. I´ve had "good lucky" because my HD has crashed before 15 days. One day more and i must to call HTC services and wait for 1 month at least. In Spain HTC service is very slow..
Good lucky!

of course as a citizen of an EU member country, your sale contract is with the supplier and not HTC so go see them and get a replacement
might have to do some research first so you get your argument together
read this page: http://europa.eu/scadplus/leg/en/lvb/l32022.htm
especially:
"Consumer goods must be in conformity with the contract of sale.
*snipped*
The seller is liable to the consumer for any lack of conformity which exists when the goods are delivered to the consumer and which becomes apparent within a period of two years unless, at the moment of conclusion of the contract of sale, the consumer knew or could not reasonably be unaware of the lack of conformity."
In my case, the difference into 15 days and 16 days is that i can get a new device quickly before 15 days running or i must to contact after 15 days with HTC service (with RMA protocol, etc) and send my device to repair/change. I know i have two years of guaranty but when i say "good lucky" is due to fast time of solution of my problem. 3 days is not 1 month..
So, it´s better work hard with our new devices as soon as u have them in your hands. If they must crash, better be soon..
Fk
I happy Guys !!!
My Touch HD suddenly Risen from Death and its working Great as ever now ..... I can't say how thankful i am to all you guys for your kind words and advises
THANKS GUYS
I think My Laptop made it to sleep a bit longer after i unplugged and plugged into a power outlet it started it self
My Touch HD is dead too
I have been struggling with my HTC Touch HD which I got less than a year ago. It suddenly shut down. I tried to recharge the battery, master reset, and everything you can think of. And nothing can keep it on for couple minutes.
I suspect it is the battery. I have order a new battery. Hope it will work. If it is the charging circuit, I will have no hope but get a new phone.
Can anyone verify HTC Touch HD has a charging circuit problem? BTW, my bluetooth and radio went out several months before, and now the whole thing goes out.

How did you fix your Bluetooth?
Mine is having a problem now. It doesn't activate when I put it to "ON". However, when I restart my phone, the bluetooth icon at the top of the screen is on indicating that bluetooth is active. However, when I try to disactivate it from Communication Manager, it shows that bluetooth is actually off. Any idea what's wrong with it?
My phone now doesn't boot up. When I switch it on, it just vibrate as if the phone is switching on but there's nothing on the display. The battery is fully charged. Previously, when I switch it on it says "Microp Mismatch 0. Please update your Microp's firmware". I manage to get into bootloader and flashed ROM with XANNYTech's Leo 2.5 and used it for about a day before it died. Anyone help please?

No charge, no sync - loose MHL cable port.

Only had mine 3 weeks and its broken already. I have been using a desktop charger and have not been forcing it in at all, not once, I have always been very gentle inserting it it, anyway it no longer charges, it looks like the connectors have pushed themselves back so they are not flush anymore and thus no longer connecting to charge or sync.
Not happy about this at all, I had my desktop charger for my HD2 for 18 months with no problems at all, this suggest a very weak connector.
!!! BE CAREFUL !!!
Going to call in at Phones4you and see if they will swap it, I don't hold out much hope though.
Wow bad luck man, but really you don't need the F word to express your frustration.

was it an official desktop charger or 3rd party?
DO a factory reset using code *2767*3855#
(please not this will wipe everything including built in memory, so do backup before you proceed. Backup possible by moving content of internal memory to SD card by copy paste in file manager)
I had a problem when my phone stopped charging after I upgraded firmware, It would also launch Connected to computer screen when it wasnt . Thought its dead.
Did factory reset using this code and its working flawlessly ever since. Seems to be some kind of bug which happens out of nowhere as 2 people I know have experienced this after upgrading to KE2.

I was going to ask exactly the same thing...
I think the OP means that the micro usb receptacle has come away from the board and has been pushed back into the body of the phone. I hope this is not going to turn out to be a common problem as it's something that seemed plague to the Nokia N900 and it took ages for Nokia to acknowledge a design/production fault.
great advice, now it wont boot at all, just goes round in circles....
F**cked.....
anyone got any ideas?
Hi, the charger isnt really the issue, i haven't had any problems inserting the phone into the charger, ie no resistance which suggests to me it was week or loose and has gradually pushed it self back over the last 2 weeks since I have had the charger. If thats the case it would have done this with any charger or cable.
Just spoke to phones4you, they are going to exchange it for me, they didnt even grumble after I told them what happened which I thought was odd, heading off now to pick it up.
Will be interesting to see if your wifi is any better on the new phone stoolzo. Maybe you could let us know. Thanks.
good old phones4you
got it already, yes I really have. Phones4you are just round the corner in PC world. Will check my wifi tonight and report back on the other thread.
Please change the thread title. All type of people view xda.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
remove and reinsert battery
i had this issue when running custom kernels. somehow doesnt happen with stock.
issue happens like this:
u go to bed while charging
u wake up and the phoneis off or very hot with battery and temperature warning
u reboot and it doesnt reboot, doesn't boot, just goes in circle battery display/reboot cause it doesnt seem to charge neither have enough power to boot.
removing battery + cable then putting both back = it boots again and charge normally

Yeah, did all the usual things, I have bricked phones before and always managed to turn them around but we have no CMR to flash anything from ROOT/SD so when it wouldn't boot after a factory reset I knew I was in trouble
The MHL port being loose was the tell tale sign of a fault as I hadn't misused it at all. When I compared it to my new phone I got today it was defo a little further back, just enough to prevent it connecting.
Good old phones4you, fault report to phone exchange in under an hour, impressive.
Just in case the charger had anything to do with this I am going to get rid, dont think it did but I don't want to risk it.

Phone stuck on USB/charging... very weird

Hey there. I have my Galaxy S II (GT-I9100) for about a month, and since a couple of days ago it has been behaving very weirdly about USB and charging.
First of all, the phone thinks it has USB connected at all times. When I go to the settings menu try to enable mass storage it says USB is already connected, even though it isn't!!!
Sometimes when I start the phone it goes to that USB Kies screen and says "connected", when absolutaly no cables are connected AT ALL!!!
When I turn the cell off, remove the battery and plug it back in, without turning the phone on, the recharging battery icon appears, but blinks with a drained battery icon with a yellow exclamation sign and a thermometer which I sincerely have no idea what that means.
It also takes ages to recognize the power charger or when I really connect the USB cable. And finally, when I take them off, it also takes a while to "perceive" they're off and remove the charging lightning from the battery icons.
PRETTY PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME OUT, as I don't have time to take the phone to service, and didn't really want to do that
Thanks!!!
This has also happened to me and loads of other SGS2 users! Although usually it only happens sporadically and not constantly. It seems that it's a bad soldering job or dust/dirt has gathered in the microUSB port. You might be able to fix it, if you're *really* careful.

Last night my phone wouldn't even start charging, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. With the smallest screwdriver I could find, I carefully 'lifted' the tiny PCB in the USB jack while blowing in at the same time. Sure enough, some sand particles fell out, and I haven't gotten carmode'd in nearly 13 hours now. Previously it would do it once every 15 minutes. So far so good, it seems.

Thanks for the help... but what is PCB? Is it the connector inside the "hole"?
Tried that and it stopped thinking USB was connected the whole time... on the other hand, it doesn't detect when I connect the USB cable

You can't talk on plural when you only point out one thread. And I've read that, but it isn't the same as my phone doesn't go in "car mode".
My phone's problem only resembled a problem JaX3RiR briefly mentioned in the middle of the thread.
I tried googling it before posting anything anywhere, but couldn't find anything useful.
Please don't try to look like a smartass like that and embarrass yourself. If you got nothing to add to the thread, it's best if you sit out of it. It's much more appreciated when helpful people like JaX3RiR post...
Hi,had the same problem,tried reflashing back to original firmware,but still had the same problem,,the only way i could boot the phone was through recovery mode,(reboot)Had to send phone back for possible repair??cut a long story short they sent me a new phone,,They said they couldnt repair the fault,something to do with the usb charging system,,So i would advise anyone with this specific problem,to send phone back,and get a replacement..hope you get it solved
Thanks mate, I sent mine today as well... I hope they act the same with me, as I'm afraid customer service around here always tries to incriminate the user not to use the warranty...

There is no reason to be angry, I'm just trying to help, and just wanted that we all post in one thread, so it would be easier to track later.

I'm pretty sure you have the same problem. Sometimes Vlingo starts, sometimes phone thinks its charging, when trying to boot it shows battery image and won't boot, can boot only recovery and do restart from there.
Get of the high horse when people are trying to help you.
Are you sure you didn't connect USB cable upside down or bended USB port with the cable?
I have no idea what Vlingo is, and obviously I didn't connect the USB cable upside down. I don't think I bended the port with the cable since it still recognizes the cable for charging or booting and going directly into Kies mode, for example.
I am not on any high horse when people try to help me, as you could see my response towards the guys above. Your post wasn't sounding helpful at all, you were just sounding like "hey, you dumass noobie, don't open a new thread for yourself, check the forums first".
By the way, I also took a look at that thread you posted before posting mine, but I have no idea what is "car mode" on my phone...
Sorry if I sounded rough. I thought it is similar issue, so I posted link to longer thread. I had this issue myself.
Peace. Let us know what the service say .
This happened to me one week ago while on holiday....that temp indicator while charging plus the other stuff you mention....
Plus the phone went into flight mode and won't come out....
Got home and did a reset and phone now doesn't recognise sim card...
great phone but I'm a little disappointed

Hello,
Had the same problems aswell, only mine had a bunch of other problems aswell:
When I shut down my mobile it restarts itself and then shows a yellow exclamation mark with an tempgage. Only way to turn on my phone is to connect it with the charger, turn of my phone again, remove the charger and then the phone turned itself on again but without the temp gage.
My phone also thinks its charging when it is not, and when I am actually charging it, its not charging.
Also my PC does not recognize my phone so I am not able to update it.
I have also sent my phone for a repair, I will keep you guys posted.
greets from the netherlands
Yep, mine only got fixed by going into service. It got its mainboard warranty switched.
T- Mobile sent me a replacement phone
They seemed to know the symptoms when I explained what was happening
Same fault for me. Mainboard replaced, works fine now.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
How did you guys get it fixed? Did you have to ship the phone out somewhere? How long did you have to wait to get it back? What was the process?
Thanks.
Mine is going to be repaired in two weeks.
I was the 8th SGS2 since tuesday which came in the repair center.
The repair guy said it is a manifacturing fault.
The phone gets hots, and outside temperature is cold, so it makes moisture in the phone.
This cause the phones power management to get fu up (SGS2 has a small battery inside of it, and that gets fu up). Only fix is replace hardware, but 9 of 10 times Samsung gives the fault to the customer. They say it has water damage and can't be fixed in warrenty...
I'm going to write a huge article about it, and I hope it will get published by a lot of site's soon. Phones he admitted having the problem: SGS1, SGS2 and SGSN.
I charged my GS2 2x by USB and it's discharged faster than by the sector
The USB power isn't enough for charge up the GS2 correctly
Are you guys suffering from rapid battery discharging, i have all of the above symptons but my battery drains within hours...I`ve even bought a brand new battery off ebay that is exacly the same issues... I`d like to send it back to O2 but i`ve rooted and flashed custom firmware...
