Hello,
I need your help with the following problem:
I have been using my Jasjar for 5 days now and I have a problem with the battery.
As soon as it gets to 35-40% battery power the unit switches off without any notice.
The only way I can turn it on again if I put it on a charger, and than it turns on again like after a soft reset.
I installed the latest ROM from the clubimate but none 3rd party applications.
Please let me know what can be this problem.
Thanks,
Zsolt
same problem here
Hi Ronaldovic,
Have you tried with another battery or just the original?
I was advised to change the original battery as that might be faulty but I couldn't get a new one yet.
Zsolt
For the O2 XDA Exec the battery has a 6 month warranty. You should check the situation with the JJ
battery issues..
I had similar issue and also where on switch on the screen light goes off and back on. This seems to be linked to battery chargin "top-ups" therefore sometimes the supply from the battery is not continously smooth. Try fully draining your battery and charging fully
I have same problem with my Exec. Any solution ??
I buy new battery but...when it gets to 25%, still switch off. So I dont think it's error of battery, may be it's bug of ROM for Exec???

1 month ago I have same problem. I think is not battery.
I make upgrade by all the ROM (JAS JAR, QTEQ, MDA PRO ecc.) but the problem I have not resolution, and 2 week ago my pda (MDA PRO T-Mobile) go in htc warranty.
Sorry for my bad english.
I have also noticed this problem a few days back. My Jasjar switches itself Off when the battery goes down to 22%.
I never used to have this problem when my Jasjar was with the original factory installed ROM version which was 1.13.53 WWE, Radio 1.03, ExtRom 1.13.137 WWE. When this ROM was installed I used to get the first low battery alarm at 20% and when the battery went down to 10% the screen would dim out and the SD card would deactivate, but still the unit would not shut itself out.
I installed the updated ROM when it became available in March which is 1.30.76, Radio 1.09.00 and ExtRom 1.30.164 WWE.
I am not too sure if the problem is linked with this ROM as I usually never allow my battery to run that low. However a few days back when I forgot to charge my battery I noticed this problem. I repeated this deliberately a number of times and each time the Jasjar shuts itself off exactly at 22%.
Just wondering if there are any solutions yet.
Regards
Same here, device just dies @ 26%. Was going to buy a new battery, but that might not resolve it?? *sigh*
RE
This battery issue has been discussed in two other similar threads.
In my case I just changed the default battery to a OEM one and everything works fine :lol:
Isn't the default battery an OEM battery? I'm tempted to buy one of the 1750 mAh batteries off of ebay (original JasJar battery is 1650 mAh) - is that a bad idea?
Try overnight charging of the battery for one or two days..this will solve yr problems... :lol:
Hi,
hard reset to your device, don't forget to get backup contacts, sms and data.
battery issue
I've had similar issues. Screen goes blank when battery low, plug in to charger and all is ok. What I've found is sometimes, not always, the battery screen brightness has gone to 0, but on-mains is set for full brightness. I never changed it, so maybe the device is trying to save power itself.
MNB.
Same here. My Jasjar dies sometimes when the battery is on 60%, 50%, 30%, 20%. etc. If I use the internet or camera or something then it will go dead, but not everytime.
Sometimes I can use anything and it will last till about 10% when the SD Card disables, then I charge it.
Don't know what to do. I don't want to buy a new battery if I'm not sure that is the problem.
Yes the same on my O2 Exec. Crashes at around 32% no matter what. Only remedy is to put it on charging again.
This started after I upgraded to the lastest O2 Rom; prior to that there was no problem whatsoever and I could go down to single digit battery percentages without any issue.
Is it the new ROM? Is there any work around to this malady?
Thanks to all who reply, in advance.
Cheers.
Well judging by the number of threads on the subject this problem is very widespread, check out the threads below:-

perhaps it is heat related?
XDA Exec keeps randomly soft-resetting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54066
-----------------------------------------------
So can we say that downgrading does not fix it, or removing certain software combinations?
has anyone actually proved that replacing the battery works or not?
With the issue this widespread (and across carriers) has anyone tried to contact HTC about this? I still have my doubts that this is ROM related, seems more likely to me that many of the initial batch of batteries have gone bad.
My battery is on order with expansy. Expect it in the next 4 to 5 days and will definitely let you all know of my experience with the new battery
Regards
My device : Imate Jas Jar, see below.
My device was doing soft resets when my applications were going in and out of data contection by different software tools, data connection via Wifi or GPRS.
For example I would open Netfront 3.3, then close it and then device would soft reset. I would turn on wifi, then turn it off, the device would soft reset.
Well all I did was change the (orginial) battery over for a new one and all works fine.
All I cant work out is that the power spikes requires to do connection functions must have been to tough for the battery, hence the battery wearing it self out. I have no idea otherwise.
Any ideas...I dont !
i have the same issue now!
do you confirm that changing the battery solves the problem at 100%?
Thanks.
Bye
Yes.. a new battery did fix it.
Is this right, am I reading one of the first battery issues on a Universal running WM5 as opposed to the other battery issues under WM6?
other strange issue from me :0)
After changing to WM6 my Device( Universal) use to shut down ca. by 30-35% remaining battery reading. After following so many post here I thought my battery is going down.
However just recently for few days I have flash back the original ROM. Now comes the strange issue: After flashing the original ROM I have observed that I could use my device (with same battery) down to 5% reading.
After one week later flash back the WM6 and see there the device shutting down again by 30-35% battery reading.

I have always and still do suspected a falwed battery interface driver in WM6 but could not technically reproduce it. This is still a work in progress for me but its good to know that there might be a real problem after all in WM6.
Hello... Over the past few days, my ppc has been turning off all of a sudden despite the main battery still having enough charge. When I checked backup battery meter in settings, it was no longer there. Prior to that, I remember trying to upgrade my device to WM6 with no luck therefore I reverted back to the original WM5. And then a day or two after that, while at work, my phone charge was completely drained -- had a battery low warning for the backup/internal batt but it was already too late for me to charge the phone so it shut down. When I did charge it, while the main battery charged to 100%, the backup battery was no longer detected.
I was searching for a solution through the forum but found inconclusive results . I was thinking of replacing the backup battery however I'm not sure if there is indeed one to start with (nothing mentioned in Atom Wiki). O2 no longer has customer support and where I'm located I don't have access to PDA repair shops.
Even if O2 Atom Exec's battery life is known to be crap , I really love this phone and would like to keep it longer. I hope somebody can help me out...
i've same problem too...

These are the usual stuff I do to avoid my device to be drained too fast:
- Click off "receive all incoming beams" in start>settings>beam
- Choose level 2 or 3 in backlight settings
- Disable all vibrating alarms/rings
- Turn off recurring pre-set alarms that I haven't been using

Hello,
I am facing a severe battery problem with my mini (not the well known battery consumption we all know about, this is something else).
First I thought there is something wrong with Windows Mobile and I hoped when going to the NAND version this would be solved but it is not.
Let me first explain what is going on. When I charged the battery on Windows Mobile it would not go higher than 40%. Even after one night it is still at 40%. When I unplug the phone it will drop to 5% in the next couple of hours. And then it will remain at 5% for more than 24 hours, sometimes even 2 days without shutting down!!!
So it is not the battery which has no capacity but the battery level which is completely wrong... This all started when I first began to play with the SD version (may be a coincidence?...)
With the Android SD version and now also with the NAND the battery will charge to 100%. But then it drops very fast and after two hours it is at 5% and then switches off. It seems as Android does switch off the device earlier than Windows Mobile. So I cannot use this at all, my mini will only run for two hours on Android while on Windows Mobile it was running for several hours at 5%...
To make sure it is not the battery I bought brand new batteries. Until today I bought four (yes 4!) new batteries but all have the exact same behaviour. With the last battery I bought I did go into recovery before booting the phone for the first time and cleared the battery stats. But still, the exact same behavior.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? Is it a hardware fault of my mini? Or is there a little piece of code for the battery which is not overwritten when flashing NAND?
What could I do against it? Is there a way to prevent Android shutting down on low battery? As it seems the battery is not empty at all but Android thinks it is empty... Or can I somehow tweak the battery level? Let's say always add 5% to the battery level so Android will not shut down?
Any help would be highly appreciated!! Thanks!
Try task 2a than task 29
Munjeni, please forgive my ignorance. But how can I perform these tasks? From recovery?
Google is your friend . But only found those "task" fixes only related to HD2 and other phones, does this also work on Mini?
Yes, it working! Swisly, you need mtty.exe to perform task 2a and task 29, and you can not do it with recovery.
Ok, thanks. One more question: what is the equal to "POWER + Record + Pen Reset" for the mini? Do I need to flash back to Windows Mobile first?
No, go to 3 color screen and perform mtty tasks, after this you need to install wince becouse your device will be totaly erased

More info here
I managed to do a task 2a and a task 29, flashed everything from the beginning but unfortunately no luck. The problem remains...
I found an interesting thread here. http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/20337-battery-level-fix-for-512-firmware/
They somehow managed to adjust the fullvoltage and emptyvoltage. With this I could prevent the mini from shutting down too early
But I have no clue how to do this. Can anyone help me with this? Or is there an easier way of doing this in CM?
Thanks!
Hey guys. First proper charge from around 3% too 100% and I'm getting battery drain already, I thought this issue was resolved in lollipop? Not the mention the emense heat that comes off of this device
Check out the picture and get back to me. Thanks.
Jack
Same thing is happening to me... I don't find that the drain is really so bad, as I still get pretty great battery life, but does appear that this issue is still present in lollipop. Seems pretty wide spread among Android users.
I had an iphone for about 5 months. Went back to android and the problem still persists I got 3.5 hours of screen on time yesterday. Take a look at this
Also getting battery drain, the main offender seems to be the "mobile standby" which is always around 50-65% for me.

I think this was an error in reporting in the stock firmware, I haven't had a problem with the battery, in fact it's been really good. Since updating to B132 (GRA-L09) the battery usage seems to be reported correctly.
Interesting, I'm not sure what the normal drain should be then. My HTC One had a pretty good battery life, but it seems with this phone the battery drains quite fast when I'm using Chrome and WhatsApp etc. The power saver reports Chrome uses a max of around 10% but the rest use very little %, yet it seems I'm using around 30-40% of the battery in around half an hour.
Do you think using a custom rom (when they become available) would be any different?
Not sure if a custom rom would help. Are you rooted? If so you should have a look at betterbatterystats which should show you what's using up the battery.
When I'm mostly on wifi I can get 5 hours of screen time with 32+ hours running time.
i have the same problem with the "mobile standby" batery drain
i did a clear data/cache then factory reset, and now it's ok
androyd system still drain batery pretty much
sorry for my bad english

Was going to wait for a few roms to be released before rooting, but the battery life seems so poor I think I'll do it just to find out.
I've had the same Problem with the battery drain and analysed this with the Wakelock Detektor (needs root). Cause was the "NlpWakeLock" thats part of the Google Services. Then I disable the Google Location History everything went well. They are a lot of of useres, who have the same problem. The only real solution (If you want to use the Location history) is a Xposed module for that you need a working Xposed framework.
I have now disabled Google location history, hopefully this fixes the problem for me too.
