I have a SPV M500 for a while, and now, when it coulder outside the phone simply locks afther a while. The green led keeps blinking but a can't receive calls, if a reminder is set, it dousent react, and the only solution to revive the phone is a fost reset (or to remove the battery cover a few time). Does anyone experience this problem? Is it normal that a 15-18 C temperature to freeze these phone model? Does anyone knows a solution? I have the last BigStore ROMs installed, could it be a software prob?
That behaviour may happen in subzero, but it should never happen within the 10 degree range! Batteries tend to be the component most sensitive to the cold, so I suggest trying another battery. Or for now, try conditioning the battery to increase the chemical activity in it - this may help its resistance to the cold, in addition to possibly extending its battery life. Conditioning the battery is basically letting the battery drop to near zero with intense usage (like looping a video or heavy gaming) before charging it, charging it to full and letting it drop to zero again through intense usage - this cycle may have to repeated 2 to 3 times to get results.
WOW it must be cold where you are.
HI,
I use my XDA to do count stock in frigdes that are 0 to -16 degrees and i have had no problems?
Maybe its because im only in the fridge for a few minutes. But i count everyday and i have no problems.
I'm pointing to a software prob too. I have those 'it wont turn back on' things (hot or cold) happen and the only way to fix it is with a soft reset.
Maybe cleaning the contacts of the battery would help.
I really dont think to be a software problem, cause it's happening evena after a couple of hard resets, and with the latest original rom for the model. I tryed even to empty and recharce a couple of times the internal battery, thinking that im might need "formating" due to usure. Ive bought an extra battery of 1300mAh, but all is the same. I-ve installed a prog callet Batti, that shows the battery pover and alo the temperature of the external battery, but it shows a 2.5-2.8 C INDOORE, IN MY HAND, where it sould be around 25-28 C.
I observed that the phoone freezes when the batti shows 2.1-2.2 C (i think 21-22 C). Can someone try this program (it's free) to see what temperature its showing?
Tx
Can someone please use a temperature reading software, to see at what temperature works usualy the phone. I'm using Batti, that shows 2.4-2.6 C when it should show 24-26C. Tx.
Weird thing: Every now and then my Atom Life reboots when I get an incoming call. It rings for around 2 seconds and reboots. Any idea what that may be? I have no other problems at all, it never restarts when anything else happens!
Crikey!
that happens to me as well. ****s me to know end... I think the battery charge may have something to do with it. ie if my atom life is fully charge i don't think it happens? it just seems to be when it gets lower... great to know i'm not the only one with this problem though.
the same problem.it happens all the time when the battery is at 40% or less.
I think you're right. I changed to another battery I have, and that seems to have fixed it. Strange thing is that the battery I have used so far has been between 70 & 80 % when it's happened, and it dies at around 40 %. Probably a faulty battery. Thanks!
you mean your phone works fine now,even on 20%?
Actually, i've read on several forum that Atom, watever model it is comes with a battery that is somewhat faulty. Changing to another battery other that the default one actually solves the problem of it shutting down @ 40%..
Bikiapo, unfortunately, no. I thought I had fixed it, but I hadn't.
Lann_78, that doesn't surprise me! These units have a few problems that are really annoying, but for me the postivies (fast CPU, good connectivity, small size) makes up for it in my book. I have a few no original batteries laying around from my previous Atom, so I'll try with those. Thanks!
im wondering what O2 says about all of this.because im sure they know.we bought our devices with money not with nuts.all over the internet they talk about this devices with the worst words.O2 MUST DO SOMETHING!!!
Well, since I changed the battery I haven't had any problems. I guess it's a subcontractor that cut corners on the battery. I guessing that they simply can't keep the voltage at the necessary 3.7 Volts when they fall below 50 %, or whatever the real percentage it is, and there's a surge in power usage, like a call coming in.
i just buy a battery 3550 mAh.till now was 1530 mAh.do you think it will fix the problem?
Probably. Those batteries are very thick, so you need another backplate. But you probably got that as well in the package, right?
yes there is one in the package.have you ever saw a battery like this one? is it much bigger than the original battery?and the weight...?
I have no idea, I have only seen it in the eBay auctions, and I know that if a battery has that much more capacity and has a new backplate, it must be bigger. Which is why I don't buy one, I like my aluminum case too much.
same problem
Hey i was under the impression that aftr i dropped my O2 Atom life a couple opf times the batery has started behaving erratically.....good to know that others are also facing the same issue...in my case the phone goes off and then i need to put it on...is it the same what everyone else goes trhough...i too feel that only when it is below 40% mark this problem happens that an incoming call rings for a few seconds and then the phone goes off...
visit the site gsmerana.com and you will see thar we are not alone.many owners of atom life with the same problems.
I've got the same problem. But it solved now.
Just change the CPU profile to best Power. It works on Me
Strange. I always had the CPU profile set like that. It didn't do any good for me. But what did help was to use another battery. I haven't had the problem since I stopped using the batteries that came with the thing.

It's true the battery that came with the package didn't fit excatly in the device, the battery size a bit smaller than the slot. So i try to put some paper so the battery could fit in.
The fit isn't the problem. The problem is that if it's below 50 % charge the voltage sinks so low that a call will make the phone restart. And even turning on the WiFi can reboot it.
hey there. new in the forum, new atom life for me..
but i had the same problem as you guys.
the thing is that atom not only restarted, the device couldnt boot at all. after several tries i had to do hard reset... twice in 3 days.. and thank god i didnt have any important data to lose at the moment, but who knows in the future?At the beggining i thought that some programm crashed but now i see there is something more serious here...
All we have to do is send our complaints to O2 about all this. if this is a manufacter problem then they have to solve it for us... dont you think?
Hi,
i have noticed that my phone is very warm when i make a phone call with it, yesterday i had a long phone call, about 1 hour and the phone crashed during the call (no blinking led, no reaction from the display, nothing). First i thought the battery was low, i pluged the battery charger in the phone but nothing happens, no blinking LED, no reaction from the phone. I took out the battery and pluged it again in but notting happend. After 30 Minutes i tryed to turn the phone on again and it worked.
So i think this was a heat problem.
I have the Firmware from Tom installed and the Radio Version RUU Nike Radio 1.58.16.27.
Has got any one noticed the same problems ?? I hope this is not a hardware bug.
well phone gets warm from time to time - but nothing one should worry about. do you use 3g ?
also i use the latest modded kaiser radio from netrunner and personally feel battery life is much better and also signal.

phone crash may have various reason of which the most are software related.
as from your description it appears like it was a heat problem but again - i never heard that before ....
no i dont use 3g at the moment, 3g was turned off.....
i hope this happens not again, i only had this one time yet. we will see on the next phone call that takes longer what is happening.....
mine gets very warm at the bottom too. It is normal I think.
I have a constant connection to the net via gprs now as when i have a constant 3g/hsdpa connection the phone is hot. The phone is also hot when charging. Maybe they will add some tweaks to improve the batterylife and temp like powerstepping or something to reduce the power used when its not needed and also lower the temp.
Hmm... This seems important. I find that leaving it constantly on, and for example, chatting via some type of IM app really makes it warm. I'm going to use my extended battery tomorrow, and see how it lasts. Wish me luck!
I have a problem with Niki heating up, but it heats up heavily when charging; using acbPowerMeter i read 700mA .. when in standby it says ~45mA. With a Tytn i didn't noticed a heating problem when charging.
Did you ever read the current when you noticed the heating ?

THANKS FOR THAT ADVICE!!! running the modded kaiser rom and its ultra low battery consumption!!!
Hi all,
With continuous use (even 15-20 mins of web browsing) the phone is warming up. The temperature goes as high as 40-42 deg C.
Has any one encountered the same problem?
It gets very irritating that with slight use the device is heating up.
Yes same problem. Maybe due to metal case.
If you read the manual you will see it's clearly stipulated that when the phone is charging or in use for extended periods of time it heats up. Perfectly normal !
Also the heat will dissipate through the aluminum case, which is why the phone feels hot. I have an iPhone 2G and it doe the same thing. Nothing to worry about .
So recently my phone (unrooted unmodded N910C) battery is being extremely weird. When I try to charge my phone, it sometimes doesn't go beyond around 70-90% but if I take out the battery and put it back in, it shows 100%. It sometimes also shuts off on its own at around 40% and when I plug in a charger, it shows sometimes 0% and sometimes 40% (but if I turn it on, it still says 0%). I've tried a lot of things, including discharging completely and recharging to 100% (powered off), factory reset, clearing cache, and quick starting battery and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have similar problems and has anyone found a solution to this?
The problem is the battery ... the catode pin inside battery is not working properly. The motherboard of the phone it just reading the voltage and temperature of the battery. Your percentage shown on status bar is based on what current intensity is received from battery. So just replace the battery... esxuse my poor english

Are you sure it's the battery? I took it out and everything looks normal, including the pins. Also, battery apps said that my battery health was good or should I not trust them at all? I just don't want to buy an extra battery if the problem is not with the battery.
I meant the catode pin inside battery not outside. It's your call if you buy a battery or not. I just writed here how the proces work because i have fixed lot of motherboard i knowing about this i have explained to you. Cheers
i have the same problem too and i tested every things and now i am really tire , i dont think thats problem was the battery , can anybody help me plz?
Had similar problem yes new battery at the samsung store the assistant said many note 4 batteries selling I got the last one. Maybe we got a bad batch or its deliberate. Maybe we could do a survey how many people have had to buy a new battery
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA-Developers mobile app
I also posted a similar problem. In my case the problem is more alarming, because it's happening in two different batteries, one of them is rather new and fresh. It seems that it started out of the blue, I did not make any major change in the phone.
I am still investigating the issue, I'll be back with more observations.
Just an update on my situation: I bought a new battery and now the battery readings seem to be fine.
I had the same problem as you OP. The problem was definitely the battery for me at least. Bought a new one just the other week and now everything is working perfectly
If the affected battery is under warranty get it replaced for free. Or if the problem does not get solved after cross checking many possibilities. Just buy a new battery. Simple. Good luck.
