After a week since I've upgraded from 1.66 to 1.72, my Qtek2020 is dead
I was playin with XBox and my Qtek was chargin on cradle
after a while It reset one,two,three,four times !!!
I put It out from Cradle but It continue to reset continuosly
I try to reset, hard reset, nothin to do
After 2-3 minutes It turns on magically...It seems ok, but while
It was Restoring Backup Data It restart to Reset Continuosly, but now
It is DEAD
Soft reset, Hard Reset, Power+SoftReset+Joystick button....
all is dead
any suggestion before I go to repair It ?
damn
Qteknology
Have you removed battery. :?: What color light if any is illuminated when in charger. Also check the switch that locks the battery into place at base of battery.
U already know my problem, cruisin u're great
My battery charge was RED :?
I changed battery and Cradle at shop were I bought it last week,
now it's all OK
but, how hell it depends ? battery sucks ? or something else ?
It LIVES AGAIN
Batteries do fail sometimes, most modern batteries have a chip onboard and this sometimes burns out too. Just bad luck I think.
but how do u know about Red Colour of Charge ?
Have u some experience about it ? Have u read somewhere ?
hi everyone...
this just hapened, does someone know what to do????
instead of crying!!!!!!!!

Hi @all,
i had the same problem this weekend.
on friday my MDA II just died in a phonecall. And it wont nether charge or start.
And i rembered a couple of days before my MDA just claimed about weak backup battery during charging.
But after i fully charged the akku in the 2nd slot of the docking station.
My device started and after that the akku also charges in the MDA.
and evrything is normal again. Iill keep an eye on this.
hope this can help.

what's akku?
J.
edit:
Found this on google:
"Akku: It's the german expression for rechargeble battery 'cause we differ between normal batteries, rechargeble batteries (special type) and the types of rechargable batteries you all know (LiOn, NiCad...).
It's the short form of "Akkumulator" (technical term)."
This is it, right? I understand it as the backup battery, am I correct?
10x,
J.
hi,
with akku i ment the normal rechargeble battery (PH17B).
i dont ment the bakup battery (ML2016) in the MDA.
hope this is more clearly.

I had that problem too.
First of all, put the ppc in its craddle and wait let say one hour, if nothing changes then it's just that your battery is dead. If you have a spare one, use it, otherwise you have to buy a new one.

My Neo all of a sudden went blank since saturday.It so happened..
I wanted to make a call, I removed my NEO from POCKET and It just showed the GREEN LED BLINKKING the POWER button dint responded at all..
I had to reset the NEO and now its not showing any thing
Does not respond to the wall charger nor any LED only thing happen is the phone gets heated on Charging(as usual as it did earlier)
Does any one know the trick of stripping the wall charger and than short the pins ...
Which is the 1st Pin from bottom or from top..
Or ANY OTHER ADVICE PLS HELP ME!!
Where could be the problem as this problem had occured earlier also i remember it was 07/07/07 and I was in office and same the neo went BLANK.
Lucky was I in the evening I went home plugged in the wall charger and it came to life in around 21~30minutes
Hope my NEO is back to life soon !!
Is it really nothing to worry about or shall I start looking for a new phone
Hi...
This same thing happened to my Neo a couple of days back...
here is the trick .. charge it till you see the green led light meaning it charged 100%
THEN keep the battery pack seperate from the phone.
meaning dismental it for a whole day (24 hrs) in a dry place ....
after a day the NEo will work....
my sure did...

I had kept it to charge for the entire night yesterday,thatz around 7~6hrs
the LED does not turn GREEN at all..
I will try to remove the BATT for whole night today..
Any other trick meanwhile,
Also does any one know why does this happen firstly.
Is it because the processor just goes to DEEP SLEEP below 50MHz or there is a problem with IPL or some other stuipid thing
Mine is a G4.and had last installed the PDAViet Touch Flo v5
Any one els who can advice me on this.
Any one had the same error earlier!!
Well you might as well try with other battery. If the old one is not charging it might be dead... Have you tried measuring it?
Had Any One Faced Such A Problem!!

I had given it in repairs..
they informed me that even after installing the BATT prophet shows no sign..
I just dont understand what is the problem has any one els faced such a problem
Rip-prophet??
I just had a word with a service guy where I had given it for repairs!!
He informed me the problem has got notihng to do with the software aspect.
He confirmed its a hardware [email protected]@
Can any one recommed me where can I get the phone repaired in India>>Mumbai..
I Think I will buy a CHEAP nokia now as I dont have enough money to spend again on a expensive phone like this one!!
I feel that the processor has gone in a deep sleep any ways to retrive it to 195Mhz...
Or is it the problem with the IPL/SPL
pls HELP and pray for My PROPHET for its LONG LIFE
Its been almost 15days now and still my neo is not working..
The repaires guy told me that may be something is gone wrong mainly because I had dropped the phone from my hand some 5~10days back before it went DEAD.
Can u guys tell me how manny of u have LOST their PDA phone s after it failed to repair..with the reason for the failure like short circuit or just like mine!!
Can any one help me with the service manual for prophet
I dont know how true is this ...
What if i m not able to get it repaired at all here in Mumbai>>INDIA..
Any one can help me with the board of neo or some solution in repairs..
I feel that the PDA manufacturers must atleast make the phones RIGID or shock proof just like nokia..so it can take some jerk!!and we dont have to LOOSE our valuable phones..
I m afraid but I dont think I shall ever buy a PDA phone again...mainly because its too much expensive for their limited LIFE SPAN just like in my case..
Hey Mate,
When I first got my prophet, it did the same thing, no lights, nothing. I had the battery replaced with an NON-OFFICIAL prophet battery (i.e, A cheap unbranded one), and it went - it's running perfectly now too with WM6

hi all,
hope someone can help.
For the last few months my Atom has been , lets say "tricky " to charge.
The red LED will flicker on and off, and sometimes it will be on, yet not charge.
On inspection , it thinks it is sync-ing, but connected to wall charger.
Manually ending sync program will fix this,but strange.
Is my Atom on the way out ?
The USB connection needs wiggling to get to work .
I have replaced the battery , so thats not the problem ,
and help/sugestions would be apreciated ,
cheers.
running WM6 exec rom , but had same problems with MW5.
Anyone ??????????????????????????

USB Charging Problems

Same Problem with the battery
Hi, everybody. I'm the new guys on this forum. I need some help. When I use the internet function to download file or something around 40 minutes, the battery cannot be charged. At the first time I taught the battery has broken or the usb cable. So I bought a new battery to try download file again but the problem is the same cannot charge the battery. The conclusion of this problem only when I download file, if i didn't download no problem the battery can charge normally. Did somebody ever get this problem? I tried to upgrade rom but the problem is not solve make me add problem. The new rom make the atom life always hang so I downgrade the rom. Please help me btw sorry my english is very bad Thanks
Hey guys, Well I'm going staight to the point. My Jasjar is letrally DEAD. two days ago. the battery was about 4-2%. the phone kept showing a message that I should recharge the battery "abviousely", but the problem that I wasnt at home to recharge it. Anyways, the phone turned off after a while and I thought it was becuse of the battery. So, when I wanted to recharge the battery, there was nothing, the phone didnt turn on. I even replaced the battery, but no good, and to make things more confusing, when I remove the battery and put the charger, the red light turns on, which means that there is a response, and when I put the battery back, just nothing.
I really hope that someone here help me, because I desperately need the phone these days. please guys help me.
Sorry for the long topic but I tried to give details as much as I could
not to be too obviouse, but you have left it charging for a while? the Uni will not switch on until the battery has been charged for a bit. However, I do believe the red light it on at this stage, even though the Uni won't switch on. Also, new batteries may not come in charged state, so same problem.
Another test may be to charge the universal in a battery charger, rather than the Uni.

Good luck,
Well, I've been charging it for a long time (2-3hours), but nothig...
Also, another strange thing poped up. whnen I leave the phone with the battery in it without charging for a while, and I plug the charger, the red lightturns on for like a munite and turns off again !!!!
I really don't know what to do, I don't even know what caused this problem, but from your replys I can tell that the problem is from the battery, and nothing is worng with the phone, cuz someone told me that it's a motherbord problem. So, is my phone ok? is it just a battery problem??
Thx for the replys, BTW
Suggestions
Try your battery in another Uni.
Try another NEW battery in your Uni.(you've )
Try to see if your device can be put in bootloader so to know it is not dead completely.
Simple suggestions.
But ..Been there...Done that..worked.
