hello Elfiners, i have a problem with my elfin here, i just bought it 3 days ago, and my battery always show 100%, but a minute ago my phone suddenly restarted and cannot enter windows CE, after i plug in the battery charger, the LED show orange color for about a minute and then go green again, and the battery like always, shows 100% charged, is there any solution for this problm, (i'm sorry my english is bad)
thx before
You mentioned that the device was bought three days ago. Is it brand new or used? When you take the phone off the charger, does it still show 100%? Might be a faulty battery. Try with another battery if you can.
yup, this one is new, i unplugged the charger, the battery still show 100%, i've been thinkin the same, but these days are big holiday in my country, so maybe i'll give ut a try tomorrow

Desperate for help, please read and give advice!
Had a Jasjar for almost a year. Battery started to weaken, so went on gizmos2go.com and bought a replacement. Already with the old original battery, Jasjar started to act weird: power meter suddenly dropped down to 12% and in two minutes back up 80%. With the replacement battery things got much worse. Restarted, insufficient battery power message came on often, car charger did not charge it at all and finally when I took off the wall charger, the charging icon would not change back to power meter until reset.
So I took it back to the shop (in Europe) before the warranty expires. They sent it off to Italy to get it repaired at I-Mate, suggesting it will need a new motherboard. 30 days passed, phone did not get back, so I got a brand new one with a newer ROM, without the original battery.
At first all was good for less than a day. I reinstalled all my software and started to get a message that there is not sufficient power to supply the SD card operation. I paniced, took the card out, no issues for the rest of the day. But this morning green solid led light on (battery charged). I unplug it, try to turn it on, screen blank, green led on. Reset: screen dead red solid led light. Plug in the charger and starts charging from 0%. Charges in one hour and now it seems to be fine. For now…
Anyone had similar issues? Solutions?
Can it be the battery? Is there a way to check it at home?
Can it be a malfunction of the SD card? There is no visual physical problem and works fine in my pc.
Can it be the charger? No name car charger, pc USB cable?
Can it be any sw?
Please, help! Thank you,

I think its the issue with ur battery coz in ur earlier case and the newer one ur battery was common which had the same problem not with ur sd card , try use with ne of ur friends battery for a day the things will pretty much b narrowed down with the problem .
Hi there,
First I apologize about my poor English, I am Brazilian and should speak portuguese, but this is the best forum ever... so I'll try my English
My story:
Four days ago my 1,5 years old 9100 running the WM6 NTS was working perfectly, the best device I ever had. But, at night, I removed the battery to get the SIM card and then I put the battery back but did not turn on the phone. I used the SIM card in another phone during the night. I was afraid to lost it.
In the morning, I removed the battery again, put back the SIM card and then the battery. When I tried to turn it on, nothing happened, just like as if it was without any power. I was surprised, because I had fully charged the battery in the night before and before I first remove the battery, it was about 80% of power. So, I decided to try to recharge again, but there was no lights on. I left it charging for about 10 minutes and got nothing.
So, as I was leaving home, I put the 9100 in my pocket, after a few minutes I tried to turn it on again and it worked. The battery meter was showing about 80%.
Ok then… It worked well on Monday. But when I woke up yesterday morning (Tuesday), the phone seemed to have self-restarted during the night. So, I typed my password and it started working well again. I checked the battery meter and it was showing about 40% of charge. After a few minutes the phone seems to be totally dead. I tried to charge it again and after 2 hours I got nothing, it was still dead, did not turn on and there were no lights on.
Later on that day, I got a multi-meter and checked the battery tension. With the positive on my left I could check that measuring the power with the wires on the 1st “slot” and on the 3rd on, I get 3.47V. Measuring the 1st with the 4th I get 3.63V and measuring the 1st with the 5th or 6th I get 3.75V. Check what I mean at http://webtennis.rg3.com.br/qtek_9100/battery.gif.
I tried to remove the battery, then put it back and then turn it on again… It started, but in a few seconds, when was showing the OS, SPL, etc… it went off. I tried that again; it started, loaded the OS and went off. Once again I tried this, but with the power cable on, so it started but in seconds was off again.
So I thought “that might be a bug, maybe if I run the update utility it will work”. I started the phone in the bootloader mode, but before I connect the USB cable and start the RUU the 9100 went off. A few more times tring to remove the battery and starting it again, it went off and never came back again!!
I plugged the power cable on the wall and on the phone and there were no lights on, but I could feel the battery a bit warmer, just like it used to get. I left on the wall all night long and today in the morning still nothing. I removed the battery for about 30 minutes and got nothing, neither the screen with the OS, SPL, IPL…
Now I am despaired, don’t know what to do, no clues. I am in Brazil and don’t know where I can take to be repaired and have no plans to get back to Canada or Europe for the next 3 months.
Can you help me with this problem? I love my phone and want it working again.
Thanks for all your help.
Battery problem...?
It seems as thought you may be having a problem with your battery, not your phone. Try buying a battery off eBay, they are pretty cheap, and that should tell you what the problem actually is.
Or if you know anyone that has a wizard, try your battery in their device. If the problem is still appearing, then you will know that you just need a new battery.
Battery or charger ?
I agree with zakhir_n, it sounds like a battery issue not the phone. My friends MDA battery died after 2 months of use, so you can never be sure. We swapped batteries and revealed it was his battery not taking a charge.
Next check that you are using the original charger. I went away on business and grabbed the nearest charger for my 8125. Needless to say I grabbed a Motorola charger and it refused to charge the dead battery. Make sure you have the original charger, as it MUST say 1000ma or 1Amp output on the plug. The Motorola one I used was only 500ma or .5Amp and it was unable to recharge a dead 8125 (MDA) battery.
New status: WORKING
Hi there,
Thanks for all the posts.
Well, I checked my charger and it is a 1A 5V and my battery gets 100% of charge.
This is what I did:
Fully charged the battery, removed it for about 1 day an then I turned it on. Surprise!!! It was working and worked for 20 minutes and went off again e seemed to be dead.
Once more I the same thing but this time I flashed it with an official ROM. Fully charged the battery and removed for about 1 day. When I tried to turn it on, it worked as it was new.
So I flashed it with the WM6 Core 2.0n. It worked perfectly. When the battery got 80% of power, it restarted itself for several tines.
Now I bought a new battery and it is working very well, no problems till now. Guess you were right… I really had to change the battery.
Thanks for all the help and sorry about my English!!!
Regards,
Arthur
Nooooooooooooooooooooo
Hi there… Got the worst birthday present ever!!! Today I woke up and my QTek 9100 wasn’t working.
I got a new battery, when I put it on my phone it was 54% of charge. I used it till it gets 13%, then I fully charged it with my computer’s USB cable. Used the phone for 1 day and the battery was again around 80% of charge (just like the other time). I put it on “flight mode” went to sleep. When I woke up……. it was not working anymore, I put back the old battery and got nothing.
Now it is with the new battery being charged with my wall charger (1A 5V), but there is no lights on.
I already tried to run the WM5, tried a new WM6, checked the charger, replaced the battery and none of this seems to solve my problem… Do you know what more I could try? Do you know where I can send it to fix in Brazil?
I don’t know what to do… I already sent e-mails to QTek and to HTC and after 1 week got no answer…
Thanks for all the help!!!
Hi all ... I got a new battery for my Universal and it worked fine for few weeks. Then I got a new device (Kaiser) and I no long use my old one for about 3 months. When I tried to use the Universal again I discovered that the charging led is always off and when I remove the battery it turns on in red ... I 'm sure it's a battery issue coz when I put the old battery back the charging led goes on.
so, the question is: could be the battery dead bcoz I didn't use the device for few months ? ... and if so, how can I fix it ?
TIA
This is a somehow "tough" question, answer is not easy without inspecting the battery electrically, but, with a multimeter you could check the battery's voltage, check it, it should not be too low (above 2.5V), if it's lower, try to fully recharge it (leave it on charge inside the phone at least one night).
Universal does three things when the battery is discharged:
If it has been fully discharged, it might show the red led for a couple of minutes (while the battery acumulates enough energy to begin the boot), or stays red when the battery is missing.
Orange led (in charge) or nothing for a couple of minutes, then orange (this might be your case), it means that the battery is not dead but the device is booting and while the system returns to "idle" it cannot give you any indication of charge (because you need a "idle" state to have such message).
After so much words, it might be more convenient just to buy another battery, with today's prices...
thx so much for all this info .. actually in my case the led is always off when the new battery is inserted .. it goes in orange with the old battery ... so, im sure the charging circuit is ok ... I just wonder what happened to this new battery which have not been used except for few weeks
it might just be dead, poor quality batteries are the most commond these days, even more if you bought it thorugh Ebay.
Hello
I have bought a old Qtek 9100 from a friend with a broken touchscreen (LCD is intact) so I "unlocked" him and i thought to charge it I can use my net adapter from my palm. So I charged it for 1 night and the orange led was on this morning. I wasn't rlly awake and the phone didn't went on and i tried getting the battery out and putting it in again but couldn't start it up :s so this noon I came home and tried it again and I saw the splashscreen and IPL version etc on my screen but then it went black. If i charge it now the orange LED isn't on now. Can some1 tell me what has gone wrong?
Thanks in advance.
I don't known what charger you have but all HTC devices charging with 5 volt and 1 amper (1000 miliamper)!!! If the battery fully discharged you can charge only with this charger.
Er, I took out the battery for a night and then put it back in and it started but then yust stopped, now I can charge it again, so I think it's fixed
Edit: God damnit, I waited to lang after I fixed it to charge it so now the led isn't burning aswel :s
Ok, I took a look @ my charger that I used (from a palm z22) and the output was only .25 A :s I tried different methodes found on this forum to recover my phone but none worked (I was able to boot up my phone and connect it to my laptoppy but it just shuts down after a time of inactivity and it tells me it is charging but it says 0 %...)
Ok This is really interesting: you can only charge youre phone when there is a SIMcard in it :s
This doesn't look good to me. I had my phone tethered to my laptop while I slept which I do often with no problems. Today I got up and saw the LED was blinking orange and green. I looked and the battery was down to 11% even though the status bar showed the battery as being fully charged.
I popped the battery out and in, tried again, same thing.
When I plug it in the LED stays solid orange for about 5 seconds and then stats blinking.
I tried it on the OEM charger with phone turned both on and off.
It doesn't appear to be charging and the LED's are blinking green, orange.
Does this seem like a bad battery? I live in the US so accessories are hard to get, I don't have a spare battery to test yet.
What do you suggest? I have a new battery coming but it's going to take a while before it shows up.
I had that too for a minute. I suspected a faulty charge / sync cable, swapped it out, and never saw these LEDs again.
Had that too. I'm using a second non OEM Battery, I will try it with the original and give feedback.
I had that with my small charging-cable (non OEM) in my car.
I've tried multiple cables. I'm hoping the battery is the culprit. I have another one on the way but it's literally on a slow-boat from China. If it's not the batter then it's the phone and that's no good. Doesn't charge on, off or in bootloader mode. I've read all the threads and it really could be either. Fingers crossed.
My LED was blinking orange/green too
I was using a non-standard (cheap) battery when this suddenly occurred. Changed to original battery and everything was OK again. Seems like the original batteries are best after all (even if they cost ten times more in my country).
Think that too. My Original Battery works well. The Battery from China is "blinking" sometimes for about 15 minutes.
same or even worst problem
During the first day i buy the phone and charge for 10hour, after that i switch on my phone i was shocked my phone wasn't charge at all but the indicator light show from orange to green.
so i charge my phone for the second time, this time its show 100%. i browse the phone setting and function all that less than 30min and before i sleep it was left 70plus % and after i wake up its left with 20plus % and the timing from i sleep to wake up less than 5hr. my wifi ,gprs bluetooth 3g everything is off except the alarm.
now i charge my phone for the third time after charging for 8hr i switch it on and it did charge but only 20plus % and i continue charge my phone for the forth time. i sucessful switch on the phone and its show 100% but it suddenly turn off, i was shock don't know what went wrong i try switch on the phone and its show the phone is low battary.
so i charge it again and the indicator light turn green less then 1min and my phone becoming weird i can't charge and switch on. once awhile it can be turn on.
so i try charging it again and the phone keep on restart.
i got so fedup as the phone is a brand new set and use it for less then 1 week. i'm going to get it fix tomorrow.
anyone with the same problem or know anything when wrong can help pls.
Hard reset helped me + check if a cable is deep enough in the phone
i try already its still the same. do u have the same problem.
i was charging my phone 2 day ago, and listening to music and downloading a lot of mb from internet with wifi, and i putted it under my pillow
after about 2 or 3 hour i pulled it out and saw the orange and green blinking
my phone was like a fire stone, it had a very bad result, the lcd doesn't had touch sensitive anymore
after 2 hour the sensitivity came back, but the story didn't finish yet.
after that, every time i charge this phone, the lcd sensitivity goes off,and after i cool it down, sensitivity comes back
but now while i'm sending this message, the half of screen doesn't have any touch sense what is your suggestion for me???
I had the same issue with my original battery - turned out that the middle pin in the battery connector had been bent when I swapped batteries - I straightened the pin back to normal position and now it charges fine again.

i am having this problem too. the led is blinking and the battery is not charging. i am forced to use a cradle to charge it up.
The orange and green blinking on charge happened to me a couple of times. In all instances the phone was too hot due to having it covered or temperature of the room was also too hot. Allowing it to cool made it work again. I haven't suffered from this problem ever since I started keep it well ventilated. Hope this helps.
yup. i google for it. and notice it due to overheat. i tried with air con on. it seem working well.
but for me. i cant feel any overheat (like hot/heat on my device when it start blinking.
hide.
The blinking light is the phone saying its overheating
this happened to me but the worst thing was I could of bought a 1500mAh battery from Hong Kong for something like £5/6 but i decided to buy one from my own country the UK and i read that an extended type was the best so i bought an extended 1350mAh for £7.99 thinking i would have no issues but its with this new battery that it overheats if i am charging via wall or pc and using my phone!
using tbattery it says the battery is only a 1230mAh anyway!!
but with my original battery i can charge and use at the same time so kinda annoyed i thought i was paying more to get better but i guess i live and learn
so now i have ordered an 1600mAh for my phone for £5.99
i should just use it as a backup battery .
p/s : what is the average battery temperature ?

I bought 2 batteries from eBay. The cheap Hong Kong one does this at 60%. The other one was from the UK and claims to be the real thing, and it charges all the way to 100% and has given me no problems (it's the one I've been using for the last 30 days).
Moral of the story: Buy official batteries.
Hi all,
a few days ago I`ve got the same issue. Please don`t laugh, but sollution I`ve found is really funny.
Firstly I was trying to flash different ROMs, Radios with no luck. Trying to clean battery contacts and phone contact pins, especially the middle one, with no luck again.
Then, thinking logically ( ), I`ve found what changes occure to my phone. I didn`t flash a new ROM, didn`t intall any new software and so on before the charging become naughty. The only thing that changed was the temperature around, now here is hot like in hell: about +30C. So I plugged in portable charger and put it with my hd2 into refrigirator (changed it to maximum t to avoid any inconvenience) into low humidity container. In a few hours battery stated was shown as 100%. The next time I was trying to charge it again in the room, but got only blinking led, had to put it back into refrigirator
Seems that battery or phone has a temperature sensor, which stops charging when batt t raises above safe level. I believe sometimes this sensor fails or smth like that and charging can be stopped even when t is not so high..
