Dear all,
first of all I would like to excuse my bad english... I´m from germany and I´m new here
I now try to describe my problem (it´s also a problem of some other german guys from our forum)
Maybe some of you have also a Samsung i900 Omnia cellphone. The problem is the batterie status indication: it´s absolutely unreliable!
For example: After loading the phone about 10hrs, I disconect it from the batteriecharger. Then (sometimes) it holds for 2 days the 100%. After that the indication goes rapidly down to 60%. Then a few hours later the indication only shows 10%. It´s absolutely unlinear!
Ok now, my Omnia is "online" for almost 4 days without charging! I think it´s enough, but is it possible to get the indication into a linear indication?
What I mean is that after charging the Omnia the "discharging" has to be indicated "linear". 100%, 90%, 80% and so on.
Maybe some of you cracks are able to program the ROM that this is possible?
Would be nice if some of you can give me a response about working on that!
Me and my friends in the german Forum "HANDY-FAQ.DE" would be really happy if somebody can take care about the "discharge-indication-problem"!
Best regards Tommes
Please tell me if this is the wrong forum, to put that question inside
Dear folks. Me and many other germans have the same problem. It would be really great to get your help.
@ Mod: Wrong Topic..
Anyways, the problem your encountering could be a number of things.. for example it could be true that your battery indicator isn't refreshing often enough or your battery could even be at fault here.
So there are a number of things you may try including:
1. Buying a new battery
2. Trying a different program to show your battery level such as Homescreen UI ++
3. Completely use your battery, remove it from the phone and clean the metal plates that connect the battery to the phone and then do a full charge and see how that goes.
4. Flashing the ROM on the phone
What is your ROM version.
Update your ROMS
Your batteries are fine - and seem to be lasting the same as the expected life of the omnia batteries. I am guessing you are on a "HH3" rom - I think that there was considerable amounts of comments about the reliability of the battery indicators on those roms. If you update to HI1,23 or HJ1 then the problem should be fixed.
You should be able to source a rom at modaco.com in the omnia forum.
Sorry for wroong topic
My Firmware is : PDA: i900XGHH4/AKHH5 TEL: i900BOHH2
I´m surprised now about my indication : Since sunday my Omnia is still ONLINE!!!
I now have only one beam but thats more than OK for me!!! It holds almost5 days now, with watching videos using wlan and the camera !!! Thats great
@Aegishua: I think it´s a refreshing problem, because in our forum are a lot of peoples have this problem! The Battery is ok I guess!
And the thing with the update: In germany there´s no official FW Update avail at the moment. We have to wait for that, otherwise the warranty for the Omnia will be lost.
I´ll observe further how it is working and then if the update is avail I´ll tell it to you guys!

So this is my first post in this forum so I 'll start with some naggin .
I am a proud owner of the lg ks20 which I absolutelly love.But its buggs are killing me.
First of all there is the free memory issue.I find it quite strange that a WM6 device with 128MB ram has only about 30MB free memory left.I mean cmon Vodafone and LG,we are talking about a huge 45 MB memory hole here.Any ideas on how to get rid of that?
Second serious issue with the is the lack of proper directdraw drivers.I hate the fact that I can not run any applications (with the exception of S2U2 whick works quite well) that use directdraw.Thats a great limitation to what one can do with this phone.
The hardware is all good,big enough ram,rom etc,top class CPU but the software sucks.
I know this is mainly an HTC forum,but I also know this is the right place to talk about WM phones when hacking and software development is concerned .
So is there any possibility to get things moving and resolve some of the phones bugs?
I have a KS20 too and would like to see some of that solved, too. But I guess we have to wait for the KS20 to be more common before there will be enough attention to get someone with enough knowledge to do something about it. I hope the English version of KS20 will come out soon and that it will get more people interested in this issue.

Did you install some strange software? OTherwise you should send your phone back to LG.
Battery always 100% and refuses to charge
Hi All,
I am new to the LG KS20.
It was working fine for 2 weeks, and now suddenly i find the battery status always showing 100%, and it just dies after a day of usage. Even worse, is that since it shows 100% always, it does not charge. When i try connecting the charger, it says battery is full, and the green LED light glows.
Can someone please help me out in resolving this issue.
Thanks you,
Jefferey Rayan
I have exactly the same problem - the 100% issue happend from one day to the other after about two weeks of use. The phone can then only be turned on by connecting it to the charger ( ac-adapter).
Some people in other forums claim it to a damaged battery, some to the 10a-ROM-version. It does not seem to be charged according to the message on the display and the greed led, but I am now about to check out if it really doesn't charge the phone. It turned it self off after about 1 minute of use yesterday, I connected it to the charger over night - today it functions properly so far...
So maybe it's "just" a matter of a wrong display message - in this case one would have to connect it to the charger every 2 - 3 days (guess the battery status) - not a very satisfactory solution, but maybe a solution until a new ROM arrives for non-branding devices.
Battery is dead - if it always shows 100%
I also have the 100% full loaded Problem!
It enoys me
LG has big Problems with their Batteries!
When you have that problem discribed above - your battery is the faulty crap.
Hardreset doesn`t help
So send your phone to LG to get a new battery,...
I am from Austria - LG Austria is not willed to help me - because LG Austria isn`t selling the KS20
The say like **** off - it`s not our problem
So I don`t know how I get a new battery.
My German Reseller told me that LG also has problems with delivering new batteries.
So a pice of crap - with Nokia they would never tell you - you don`t get support because you bought the mobile in Germany and not in Austria,...
Can anybody help me?
Shouldn`t LG Austria have to help me with my warranty?
GreeT`s Erich
I am also from Austria, bought the branding-free version at redcoon.at - they offer 2-year warranty, so I sent it back at the end of May. They probably sent it to LG Germany and it's still sitting there. I hope that according to my descriptions they will exchange the battery, otherwise I will be really pissed off. The repair takes 4 - 6 weeks they say. So I've bought a 400 EUR phone and have to stick with my old K750i for weeks, maybe for months.
I would not recommend anyone to buy this phone. It's on the market for 8 months now, no support, no drivers, no official updates. pure sh*t.
Anyone who wants a stylish mobile should go for the new HTC Diamond.
It's really worth the extra 100 EUR.
For those who have no warranty, I would recommend to plug it to the charger every 2 - 3 days until there are batteries available to buy directly from LG. Since everybody who got it's battery exchanged seems to be happy now, this should be the solution. IT DOES RECHARGE although it shows 100% full and the green led is on. I plugged it to the charger overnight and then it worked for about 3 days of extensive use without any shutdowns. So it's just the indicator that does not work.
Good luck!
The repair takes 4 - 6 weeks they say

Thats why I will not send my phone to LG!
I will try to get a new Battery.
LG- Service sucks damn hard,...
Greet`s Erich
i've got a MS25 Genius (american KS20 just without 3g, wifi, and VGA cam) from VIVO here in Brazil, and my battery stay always on 99%..
My clock is bugged too, always turns to the "Praga" clock when i sincronize with ativesync..
I'll not send my phone to LG Brasil! if they suyck in Europe they will suck a pretty much more in my ****ed up contry.. i don't want to stay 2 months without my phone..
Anyone's got a solution?
thank's!
I bought a new Battery - but not original LG.
Maybe a failure - because when I charge it - my phone turns off,...
The only advantage is it was half the price
I don`t knoe if LG has fixed the new batteries - because buying an original with the fuxing problem is sick
greet`s
back to initial thread, I also have a KS20 and got some 34/37MB after soft reset with default LG app disabled...
it doesn't appear to be that much and normal...
like nstamoul said: "we have to think about this issue!"
KS20 massive destruction
Im using the KS20, And sure, Sometimes you stumble upon some buggs, But its not that bad. Best wm phone I've ever had atleast
Hello.
I have a prophet for about 3 years now and WM6 PT coffee room for about 6/7 months.
This weekend, after a great beach afternoon hearing mp3 with it, next day it starts to consuming battery very quickly and warming up very quickly when connected to USB (at both home and office links) and when talking on a call.
I would like to know if someone experienced same symptoms and if you think this is a battery issue or mobile hardware issue. As far as I can test, is not battery warming up, is front of the mobile, like lights/speaker surrounding zone, data display and buttons.
I don't know if I should waste money on a new battery or purchase another mobile.
Any help/experience will be appreciated.
Regards and many thanks.

battery issue~~~~
The reason is, music playback is a kind of " high " battery consumption,
old battery is not healthy enough to handle such continuous electrical flow,
so, getting tired faster then the youth....
e.g. I am always easy to get tired (old) but my daughter keeps jumping around (young)
use win 5
Thank you for your suggestions. Curiously, using wall charger, mobile does not seems to heat. Any way, after all night long connected to wall charger, it charges only 70%.
USB is not charge quick enough. It semms not charging by USB. I think I'll try to wait one more month until my cell network to have PDA to change by consumption points.
Regards.
No more suggestions or someone with same problem?

New battery...
Also, this isn't really "Prophet Mobile 6"...
Unfortunately is not battery issue. I've switch today to another battery and there is warming up when connected to PC USB (not at wall charger) and when talking on a call. BAttery consumption is very high (some times, others seems stable).
It is possible to be software?
Regards.

You could try a different ROM, but it may be the charging circuits in the device...

Yes, it's a prophet. And yes, with mobile 6 running.
If you own a prophet with a possible software issue and these 5 topics:
Prophet
Prophet upgrading etc.
Prophet accessories
G4
Prophet mobile 6
Where do you post something like this?
As moderator, feel free to move it to best topic.
Regards.
In fact, it seems it's really a Prophet + WM6 issue.
I moved to WM5 yesterday. No more problems. I've waited until today morning to use old battery layed on office. I've changed it 1 hour ago, connected to USB and no problems at all.
I'll move to WM6 again at the end of the day. Maybe some piece of software (some controller driver, or something). Don't know.
I'll post further details in order to help other users.
Regards.

I think it's more to do with Prophet... So I moved it
It sounded like more of a hard ware issue. The Prophet Mobile 6 is more for ROM development.
What WM6 ROMs where you using?
You right. It seems rs (with sd adaptoer) card. That's why it's so hot rounding speaker zone.
But it seems S200 hardware issue, not card, since I can read car perfectly from a SD USB pen. It's already causing some problems for about 6 or 7 months: I need to take SD out and put in again to read it. Seems S200 lost connection to card after some time.
I'll investigate further details when have some time
I am experiencing a very high battery drain now (5%/h). Possible reason: I've installed n my WM5 Opera Mobile 9.5, Music ID, Skype and QIP, which I've never done before. I've performed a hard reset an hour ago, let's see how it behave tomorrow.
Hi there!
I just got a new 2400mAh battery for my charmer (PM16A; 3.7VDC) and turned the device off to completely charge the new batt. For 3h there was no light indicating a charging progress so I turned the charmer on (no LED signal at all) and the OS booted. The system runs extremely slow and the battery status is not being recognised.
Has anybody made some experience with the bigger batteries or any idea why the system runs but no charging is being done? The battery is explicitly displayed to be fully compatible with the MDA Compact II...
Thanks in advance,
Gore
I called the dealer today and he told me that this battery is well known for causing troubles. I sent it back and told the dealer to keep me informed if any improvements are made by the manufacturer. He also told me that this (chinese) manufacturer seems to be the only one building those 2400mAh batteries, so if you're suggesting to buy one, think it over at the moment...
If I get any information about the issue I'll post it here.
So long,
Gore
What ROM is on your device? The batdriver.dll can cause such problems. What is shown? -1%? And what size is said? Does it say 0mA or 2400mA?
Give me infos I'll try to help you with my "how drivers are" skils.
Edit: Seen post now. Can you remember any answers on my questions. Cuase I think it would help others too.
I have cYBERDEls WM6.1 Manila 2d German Ed. installed. It runs perfectly with my old battery, fast and stable, but the battery turns off at 60% (4 years old - no surprise I guess). With the new one it seems to charge, although no orange light present. When entering the battery status in the OS, it said something like status unavailable or battery unavailable. And it runs extremely slow which it does not with the old one.
I'm sorry I cannot say anything about the current size, as the battery status driver of that WM6.1 version is unable to display...
I tried the Battfix.cab as well just to make sure but no change.
Thanks for helping,
Gore
OK that is a batdriver.dll problem. I'll upload some versions later or tomorow. Just try them.
And if you installed batfix.cab it will charge without the light, But the power you're using can also be the power with witch it came. (They are charged to 50%-80% to live long without being used)
-> "I'll upload some versions later or tomorrow"
That would be just great. Lucky me, I didn't actually send the package away yet, but will rip it open again
Which problem is solved by the batdriver.dll?
Btw, good luck with your 6.5 development, I'm really looking forward to it!
The batdriver will hopefully recognize the battery. (I'll give you Prophet and Wizard ones cause they suppoert only the big batteries I think). And WM6.5 will first just be English. Cause I have to translate everything manually to German.
Hope I can fix your problem.
Hey anything new about the batdriver.dll? Did you upload it somewhere or could you post a link to a proper driver in the Prophet or Wizard section if there is one? Sorry for shoving you...
Gore
Soory now time till now. I'll try to get some today or tomorow and post them here.
Hello people, a few days ago i was given an Universal, i started looking in the internet about it and i finally found this page, what happened is that the device was in the bootloader screen.
So i managed, with al the instructions and everything else you've got here, to install Beasty and Laurentius OS 2.07 on the PDA. and its actually working, sort of...
I have no idea on the background of the device, i got it for free as someone didnt want it because he couldnt fix it. now... i bought the carger 5V 1A and its charging, but if i just try to use it at the same time (wmp and wi-fi) it starts slooowly charging down. It's just charging way to slow, ove been charging it since 3pm, and its now almost 8pm and its 70%.
Could this be the battery? the charger aint working correctly? maybe the OS? or is it just that this device had nothing else to offer?
Thanks
The only thing i know is that it was not used for over a year. as the last user thought it was broken.

Anyway I recommend you to install a newer ROM
Try Tomal 8.5 battery life is very very good
I have my original battery since 2005 and lasts me aday and a half with that ROM
Good luck enjoy and...
Don´t forget to vote!

There you are mate!!
You´ll see the battery life with this ROM and also performance!
Enjoy!
After installing a new rom ,my polaris died ,no lights not recharging , I removed the battery,the SD and the sim card for > 24hrs and still the usb is not recognised and no lights at all and also not recharging any solution????
Hold camera button, and turn the phone on.. then you will get the hard spl boot screen..
After this you can flash a new rom.

do you have anything on the screen at all? or is the screen off as well?
try to be more specific please if you want to fix the problem:
What rom were you trying to flash?
do you have hardspl?
are you an experienced user or a novice?
was the battery fully charged?
did it flash completely and give you a message telling you it was successful?
is anything coming on at all?
is it under warranty still?
if you supply at least this information you will have a better chance that someone can help you fux it fast.
best of luck.
Venigo Thank u for your reply I tried this and tried many things before post ,no response.
bally3 Thank u for your reply I'll try to be more specific:
This happened after I flashed new Parcvello extreme rom.
I had a hard spl
I'm an experienced user
The battery was not fully charged and after flashing the rom I opened my polaris and it worked for 3 minutes after that it died.
No thing is coming at all
The warrenty period finished 6 months back
Thank u for your wiching best luck

My first advice is to try another battery. I cant see it being rom or flash related though its quite possible its hardware related and would need service centre attention.
Try a new battery. since you say nothing is coming on at all, I take it theres no power at all to it. You can try another battery or ask someone to test the battery for you using a meter to see if theres any charge in the battery itself.
When you say not fully charged I hope you mean like 40% and not 20% before flashing.
Did you get through all the setup before it crashed? Not that important but just trying to get a picture of what was happening when it went off.
if all else fails if you got it on contract you could ring them and ask them to look at it. If it isnt on contract then might be worth biting the bullet and seeing how much a repair centre would charge to fix it. You should at least be able to get a free estimate.
it can't be the battery, since the phone can work via the net with the battery out, even if the phone is off.

You are responsible of wasting 3 minutes of my life testing your theory...
Polaris wont work without battery as i predicted...at least mine wont...
So the battery might still be a possibility as mentioned above...
I dont see any other possibility beyond hardware failure.I tested all PCarvalho´s xtreme ROM´s and never had problems beyond software issues and he flashed the ROM and it was ok for 3 minutes as he said...at least bootloader would kick in.
Thank u all for your reply : I didn't mention that PCarvalho 's Rom is the cause I'm sure it isn't.
My second step is changing the battery and I 'll till you about the progress.
Still the same proplem after i tested the battery which is charged
in that case its a repair centre job then unfortunately...sorry to say.
Do any body knows where is the HTC repair centre in Cairo,Egypt
actually i had a similar problem. polaris totaly dead. then i discovered, that the sim slot thingy didn't "click in" properly. that solved my problem.
