The MT4G battery died last night. I placed it on the charger. Today when I turned it back on the Lock screen appeared normal but the home pages were missing all the widgets and Icons. I restarted the phone and got the same results. Next I removed the sd card and restarted the phone again. With the sd card removed, all the widgets and Icons were there. It almost seems that the background is being put on top of everything else. Any Ideas.

I'm wondering if maybe my battery is jacked up or something, but I've only noticed this a couple times.
About a week ago, I plugged my phone in before going to bed, next morning I had a green light and battery widget said 100%. I unplugged the phone and the screen went back off. Maybe 5 minutes later, I picked the phone back up and woke it up and the widget said it was already at 90%. Went into settings and it also already showed a bar missing from the battery bar as well. My phone hovers between 12-15% awake, but even at 100% it shouldn't pull the battery that much in 5 minutes.
So when fresh 1 came out, I had been wanting to ruu back and start from scratch so I went ahead and did that. Seemed to fixed the battery issue, until tonight. I got bored and was changing stuff around. I turned the phone off to do a nandroid backup at 51% battery. Shut down, nandroid and reboot, and when it came back on, it said it was down to 28%. I know rebooting the phone didn't pull almost a quarter of the battery. I plugged it into the computer for maybe 5 minutes to adb the htclockscreen out, when I pulled the usb, it said it was already back to 51%. Rebooted phone and when it came back up it said it was 41%. Screen turned off, and when I turned it back on, it said 43% and now seems to be holding steady there.
Again my first thought was maybe the widget, but i've tried 2 different ones, batterylife and the htc one and they both show the same and the bar under settings appears to validate the same.
Any ideas?
Hey all,
I'd like to know if there will soon be a better battery available for the HTC HD mini. I looked for it, but as 1200mAh is the default battery, I haven't found a better one... Someone has ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi all, Monday i got my hd mini finally. It appeared that a micro sd card was not included. To bad. First thing i did was to configure the device and installed my necessary apps. Even tomtom was working well. In the meanwhile i had fully loaded the battery. Afterwards i was testing the device if everything worked well. This was the case alright. In the evening i went to sleep and i noticed the battery was 70% full. I went to sleep and turned off the device. The alarm i had preconfigured so i would wake up. Now the strange thing happened. The device woke me up as planned. But afterwards the device went off. Switching the device on only leaded to a screen with the green letters HTC for a few seconds and immediatly the device went off. I have tryed to switch on the device several times and all the times the device went off immediatly. Now i have searched the manual and maybe the battery was already empty. LOL. Impossible i thought. I put the device on the loader and the light was continuous orange. After a few seconds it blinked for a while and then it was continuous orange again. So maybe it could be a battery problem here. Impossible cause the battery was 70% when i went to sleep and the very next morning it would be empty? Anyway, now i will load the device for some hours and then try to put it on again. Lets see what will happen for ****sake.
hello,
don't be too bothered on this, it will take a couple of days to get decent usage from standard battery. Mine took 3-4 cycles now is holding about 2.5 - 3 days - first cycle was not more that one day.
as for better battey, check this out, maybe is worthy for you, i ordered one but will come to my place in three weeks time.. anyway i hope for the best as it should be a 40% improvement.. hopefully.

I realized today that I hadn't had a random reboot in a while. From day 1 I could count on 1-2 random rebooted with my Atrix.
Sure enough, my uptime is 280hrs+, which is in line with when I took the OTA update. My wife's phone appears to be the same, and it was rebooting at a similar rate to mine before the update.
Both are rooted/non market enabled but not modded.
How's your stability been on 4.1.83?

I had one strange reboot this morning, my phone had been lagging up a lot, along with the screen not turning on when I pressed the sleep button.
I look down a minute later and I see the Motorola logo. But afterwards it seemed just dandy.
Random reboots
I just bought this phone Friday at 7:45pm. It was working fine when I got home Friday night after purchasing it. I hooked it up to my pc and got the needed updates to 4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US. Saturday morning I installed one game bejeweled and advance task manager before heading out to work.
I got back home around 1:30pm and started setting up my contacts on the phone. Around 6:00pm I left the phone plugged into my pc and heard the phone rebooting from the other room. At first I thought maybe there was an update and that's why it was rebooting.
Two hours later it did the same thing again with no warning about a reboot when I was manually adding new contacts. I notice there was another update available to version 4.1.83 which I now have installed on the phone and it's still rebooting on its own.
I also noticed that my battery was right at 60% and while plugged up to my pc it was only recharging 10% every hour on the hour not sure if that's normal for this phone.
(Two hours later battery power at 90% with a solid green power light visible but taking forever to reach 100%)
Also right after the 4.1.83 update the phone would reboot and then the battery light on the phone would just randomly flash red with the motorola logo sitting on the screen. I had to pop the battery out, waited for about 30's before putting the battery back in and powering it back up and it still sat on the logo screen with the red flashing light.
(The battery is now at 100% but 3mins after unplugging it from the pc it displays 90% again all I've did is watch it reboot on its own.)
I removed the battery again but waited for about 5mins before powering it up and this time it actually booted up like normal and about 30mins later another reboot.
I also noticed that as soon as I finish watching a video with youtube the phone reboots a few seconds after the screen goes to sleep. Now as I am writing this comment I decided to uninstall that advance task manager program and do a reboot. The phone is at 80% and after I watch about three videos with youtube the phone didn't reboot.
I have no idea what's up with this phone and I really like it alot except for this mysterious rebooting not to mention other people experiencing random reboots. I read online where a lot of people where saying it was due to a bad battery and that they got a new battery from Att and the problem went away.
I am really thinking about turning this one in for a new replacement but some people are saying even after doing that they still kept having the problems.
Could this really be something wrong with the updates that is causing issues with the phone or is it just a bunch of bad batteries?
Battery?
Back again, in the post I made earlier I mentioned how the phone wouldn't randomly reboot when the battery was around 80% well the battery charged to 90% and the random rebooting has started up again and it has rebooted 3 times back to back now that it is at 90%.......I think I am going back to the Att store when they open today and try getting a new battery............

If I were you I would get a replacement phone. I did have one random reboot since updating to 4.1.83 and that was the first ever I've noticed with my phone. Otherwise I haven't noticed any issues. As for charging via a pc I did hear that was slow. I charge via power outlet or using a car adapter and both are fairly quick. Good luck.
Battery?
I decided to do a factory reset on the phone first and the funny thing is after the reset, the phone still showed that it had the latest update installed even though I still had to go through the setup process just like when I first purchased the phone. So far it appears to be working and hasn't rebooted on me yet. No rebooting after playing Youtube videos either. The only small pet peeve I have at the moment is the Facebook & MySpace contact photos will not show up for some unknown reason in the contacts sections, they're just empty picture frames. The contact photos that do show up are the ones from my google gmail account and I manually added those online myself so those automatically transfer when my phone syncs with the gmail account.
And the MySpace widget doesn't show a photo as well but the info in the widget is current. That's way better than experiencing random rebooting when you really need your phone the most.

This is normal. A FR cleans all of the user data reseting it back to a "clean" version of the flashed rom.
I can say that I have also not had any reboots since .83 but it is also the first time i have loaded gingerblur.
It's pretty odd. What happens is I leave my phone in my pocket for a while. Eventually, seemingly through no effort of my own, I'll pull it out and it will be almost literally on fire. When I wake the screen up, I can see I have no cell connection, the battery is almost dead, and no services seem to be showing in the notification bar. Then, I unlock my screen, and there are a bunch of crash dialogs showing. Typically the one on top is that the Market has crashed and must be force closed. There are about 8 of these dialogs and as soon as I close them all, my phone reboots. After rebooting, I am in the same state. No services started and a pile of dialogs after unlocking, I have to pull the battery for several minutes to let the phone cool down, then when I start it back up it sits at the Rethinking Possible screen for almost 5 minutes and afterwards my phone is working normally aside from needing a charge.
Has anyone else seen this problem??
i think you should try factory wipe.
if no luck then flash it with gingerbread .

Reset to factory, call moto and request a new battery just in case. The battery should be free if you are still under warranty and they even pay for shipping.
Hi! all. i have re-arranged my apps icons in alphabetical order. When the tab runs out of juice. I shut it down to charge, after charging is complete & i power on the tab again, the apps icons goes messy again. is this a bug or is there a way to solve it?
I noticed the icons being rearranged but attributed it to use of the "most used" tab. Didn't think of power.
