Im off on holiday soon ands won.t be taking it with me. I don't want to leave it and the battery runs out and i don't want to leave it in the charger for too long. has anybody got a solution.
You can't actually turn off the XDA2, only put it into standby. Best advice is to just back it up all the data and then restore it if it is lost when you come back. If you are gone for 2 weeks or less than you might save some battery power by putting it into flight mode. Mine lasted from a full charge for 15 days (without use) on flight mode.
Leaving it charging wont harm it as far as I know, you can switch on flight mode then press power button to switch off phone and pda, alternatively you could do a full backup to sd card and just leave it in the drawer until you return home.
The battery says its 100%. But everytime i take the battery out for 5 sec and put it back in again and turn on the pda, it is as if it has resetted and the stuff comes as if im putting it on for the first time (ie. the tap the screen and application stuff installs come) and everything is wiped off.
Looks like your battery is dead. Go back to your supplier and have it replaced
You mean the backup battery is dead?
i have the same problem
and i chang the backup battery
and update jame
and it's same whin u remove battery for 5 sec the phone do a hard rest
how can i solve this
plz helppppp
On Himalaya this ocurs too, but ONLY when the Phone was on (ie not in flight mode) when you take out the battery.
Remedy: Put phone in flight mode before taking out battery!
Maybe that also works with the Magician
But, every time you open the cover for the main battery, you switch off the device! There is a switch. Putting it bach into your MDA, you switch it on. Just this way...
Exactly, you switch OFF the device when the Phone is ON.
The are three ways to switch something OFF:
1. Go into Flight mode: Switches off the Radio functionality (including the Phone)
2. Switch off the PDA: Use the power-button, Radio Functionality remains active
3. Take out battery: All off!
When you take out the battery, the Phone (ie the Radio) has to be OFF to avoid a hard-reset.
When you take out the battery when the Phone is OFF, you only get a soft-reset
With my previous Xda II, I have the same problem too. But I think it's the small switch that cause the hard reset. When removing the battery we have to slide down the switch. After taking up the battery don't ever try to slide up the switch with the battery not in the place. Only when the battery is in its place then you should slide down the switch to lock the battery.

I tried turning on the flight mode before taking out the battery.. but the magician still resets!..
Any other suggestions?
With the Jam/mini, you NEED to flick the soft red plastic "Battery lock" out of its slot on the right hand side, or you will run the risk of a hard reset. You don't pull it right off, just flick it away from its "Locked" position. Not sure why a proper switch could not have been built in on the left hand side.

The red rubber is not connected to any kind of circuit.. it is there jsut to keep the battery tight.. anyways i tried it.. and my mini still hard resets..
Thanks for the input tho.
i have the same problem too... hard reset everytime i take the battery out even only 5 secs. i did turn the flight mode on, then press the power button. its not help. still hard reset. do you think the backup battery is dead?? how to check this? because its always show 100%.. please help.
hi all... for who has the same problem like mine (take out batery then got hard reset instead of softreset), the solution is: SENT IT BACK FOR REPAIR TO THE SERVICE CENTRE.
also, dont forget to write: " please change my RF/MAIN BOARD" otherwise, they will change ur backup battery only, and this wont solve the problem.
i got mine fixed, and i get new IMEI number as a result. first, they replace the backup battery only, and WITHOUT CHECK it, send the phone back to me. im shocked to find that it still had the same problem. made a serious complaint and send it back, this time the manager take care of my phone directly.. hehhehehe.... well, thats the story... thx for all of u that read n give comments about this problem.
I'm currently on hyper ROM.
When I turn the screen on my phone and leave it idle for about an hour the screen will not turn back on. Only way is to pull the battery and restart the phone.
No water damage.
Phone is unlocked and currently using a T-Mobile sim card.
Suggestions please?
After months of various SD cards not working (phone not detecting them, bootloops when they're inserted, etc), I eventually decided to try out one last SD card that I know works with my brother's phone. Inserting the SD card wouldn't let the phone boot up, as I expected. But even removing the SD card fails to rectify the problem. Now, whenever I try to turn on my phone, the area near the SoC package gets very hot, and I have to remove the battery to power it off and let it cool down. The screen stays blank, and nothing seems to work. I have found out that plugging the phone in while the battery is removed and then reinserting the battery while the phone is still plugged in shows the battery charging icon, but the screen quickly goes blank after that.
Be honest, do I have a bricked phone? Or is there a way to somehow get it to boot, at least into recovery? I have the ZE551KL model.
if u still have warranty asus should take care of ur phone. from what u discribed there is a Short circuit on ur motherboard i don't know if it is possible to repair or not but it is definitly inside ur phone
Hi.
This is a friend's stock P8 Lite ALE-L21.
He asked me to look at it because it had stopped recognicing the SIM card. He had taken it to a repair shop, and they told him the battery was bad, and replaced it. But after opening... i'm not sure they replaced it, it looks "too stock".
In any case, that didnt solve the problem.
I took the phone apart, cleaned everything with small brushes and contactt cleaner, and inserted my phone's SIM card because he was using his on another phone for the moment. IT WORKED! I could make a call from it and connect to the LTE network.
So i remove the SIM card and give the phone to him. Next day he says that he's put his card on the phone and it wont take it. I take the phone again, try with mine, and no luck.
I have taken it apart again and checked with a multi-meter that every pin on the SIM card tray has a connection with the mainboard, and that all pins are positioned well. I dont think the slot is the problem.
A weird thing happens, also. The phone sommetimes reports 0% battery when you turn it on, even if you just charged it. Just now, it was at 50% battery, i rebooted it, and it reported "battery depleted, the phone will turn off in 30 seoconds". And then i booted again and it reported 12%.
Are this symptoms familiar to someone? Is the board toasted?
