Hi everyone,
I recently bought a HP ipaq 614C. I flashed the original firmware on it and I noticed that the battery drains fast. Also now when I got a cooked rom on it. When I work on it, the battery won't be able to give enough power for half a day.
Now I wonder if I should buy an original HP battery or just a imitation. Is there a difference in quality?
edit: I just noticed that in about 10min 10% battery has gone when wlan is enabled and no heavy programs are used.

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:-
Jasjar shut down when battery power remaining is less then 43%

perhaps it is heat related?
XDA Exec keeps randomly soft-resetting

-----------------------------------------------
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
Searched in the forum, at the end I bought a new battery for my Qtek 9000 but when the charge goes below 70% the phone quality transmittion get really bad and sometimes loose the signal, while going below 60% the pda shotdown the phone/bt module if active....any suggestion?
I'm really in trouble
Andrea
I have had similar issues and a new battery was my answer
hi
i have a imate jas jam the problem is the battery discharges rapidly while making a call or playing music but stays on stand by for a day or two. the battery discharges and charges in incriment 10% that is during charging 10,20, 30 etc and during discharging 90,80,70 etc.
i did a rom upgrade from official site and also changed battery still no luck.
any solution guys
regards
gopal
I found the battery always did discharge rapidly when being used. To fix the 10% increments it would be a good idea to flash a cooked rom BUT make sure you have installed Hard SPL 1st...
Might not discharge so quickly (or seem to) when going down in 1% increments...
hi gopalg73 i have the same probem but i asked u about ur upgrading was it wm6 from htc?? and after ur upgrade the tohchFlo did work or not
waiting for ur reply
drasd
i flashed it with original rom from imate support and not cooked one,the battery hardly gives 10 to 20 minutes talktime,
regards
gopal
How old is the battery? If you got the original one when the device came to market a few years back it would be on its last legs now.
haha yeah mine is 2 months away from a second birthday and about to be retired!
Battery lasts about 40 minutes just by using 3g connection and streaming AD2P at the same time and getting worse everyday.
Hi i have a 614c , it's brand new but the battery is really weak. I didn't format it first when i started using it , might this be the cause ?
Anyway, it lasts just for a day with a little browsing and wi-fi . Brightness is set to middle .The rom installed is WM 6.1 with Manilla 2D. What can i do to make it last longer, underclock the CPU , put another rom what do you recommend ?
Are you using 3g or 2g?
I find 3g chews up a lot of battery life.
I have a data plan at Orange and when it connects it says " Connecting to GPRS,3G" so it means i have it activated . How can i disable it ? Is there a program that can enable/disable it quickly ?

Hi,
After using my iPaq 614c for two months the battery depleted around 10 percent per hour without using WiFi, bluetooth or even the phone. First I thought it was the battery, but after replacing the battery the problem still existed. HP changed my model for a new one which is working 'as expected' (around 2 days on one charge).
I think that the charge part on the 614c was defective.
Have you tried another battery or measured how long your battery lasts when turning everything off ?
charlieMOGUL
I did a test today , left it on at 100 % charge without the sim inserted and when i got back from work it was off with dead battery . Is it possible for the GPS module to be activated without my knowledge ?? It 's the only thing that can eat that much battery

Hi,
No, it isn't possible. GPS only kicks in when asked by some app.But almost for certain, it'll be your activeSync that always try to sync, wether connected or not. Search for the Server-source-trick to disactivate this behaviour.
Dirk
Hmm,
My guess would still be defective hardware (as well). It seems almost impossible that the ActiveSync process can put thatload on the battery.
Hi guys i have some serious battery drain on my new touch hd, last night the phone had 40% and this morning it was dead, this is with a brand new high capacity 2400mah battery, i have data turned off as well as the screen.
I am running stonehenge 6.5 rom with cookie home tabs.
anyone got any ideas?
cheers, thedexter
change rom
turning off the display and wireless connections is one way to save power, but still the battery usage can be easily estimated by having a look at the cpu and ram usage. i for one use the stock rom, and when there are no apps running in background, my ram usage is at 35%, given that you are using wm6.5 and cht, i guess it would revolve around 60-70%, so indeed, to save power, a rom change might be helpful.
thanks for the suggestions guys
flashed a new rom version and downgraded radio to 1.14 and battery life was about the same, then i followed the battery calibration wiki and charged the phone whilst it was switched off and my battery life is looking much better.
cheers, thedexter
