Soft reboots about 1 time per half hour now. Seems to have a hard time coming back to life after shutting down--flickering screen also the orange charge light goes off. Just happened again. This sucks.
Could be related to the charging function??
Did you installed any suspicious software lateley?
Have you tried a hard-reset? (do a backup first)
Now its hard rebootng by itself.
Its hard rebooting byitself now.
No new software. Looks like a trip to the shop where i bought it for service.
Pressing the power switch does a hard boot now.
Checking now the reset button--could be jammed.
On about the 10th hard reset--every time it completes installing and thenas soon as i press the on/off button it goes haywire
-or even before presing the buttton.
i have a similar problem, but i turned out to be that:
one my battery is dead, i cant recharge (charger at home)
i plug an external charger that uses 4 AA batteries...
it works fine, BUT when those 4 start to die, the xda
keep softreseting, somtimes even b4 it fully get booted.
so... check your main battery, maybe its dying on you!
Interesting!!
Took the unit to the shop today--they played around and at one point insisted that it was my sim card that was causing the problem.
Finally could see that the secondary battery had gone to 0% and was not recharging.
So in had to leave it there for extended service. Had to buy another mobile phone to use as a backup--bought the smallest thing i could find as I will use it at times i dont want to lug around the xda.
...you know, that could be true too, there is a small switch by the sim card, that if not pressed firmly, it resets the device.
a common problem if you remove the sim card often.
I've just got back from work having lef my XDA II on O2 at home, and the thing won't turn on!
When I plut it into the charger, a faint red light comes on (where the green signal indicator usually is), However after a few minutes charging it should deffinitely turn on, yet it still does not.
Does anyone have a clue whats going on??
If the main battery and backup battery run out, shouldnt sticking it in the cradle charge it?
Any help much appreciated
Try removing the main battery for a while then try again.
I've had a few of such experience. It won't turn on. Even charging it from the power main, soft reset, take out main battery for a minute or half...
The only way to wake it up is to HARD RESET.
Strangely, I thought somehow the battery ran dry, but after one hard reset I noticed the main battery was at normal level, backup battery 100%. How frustrating. It happened a few times already.
8) I also found this problem. I use Spritebackup and schedule to backup everday at midnight. So, I can restore after have to do hard reset
What ROM version are you running on your XDA2?
I had the same problem on my MDAII and I was on 1.60.00WWE but an upgrade to 1.72.00WWE fixed the problem. That ROM also used to wipe my SD Memory!... Now I'm on 2.06.00WWE (Windows Mobile SE) and it's better than ever!!!
Good Luck!

I had the problems when I was on 1.60.00WWE. Since the very last hard reset (device not responsive to soft reset after a flight in February), I changed it to Sin's Merged ROM version 2 (WM2003SE). I wouldn't say it's better than ever, as I noticed the device is slower but it has been ok ...
I just joined the list because of this issue.
I have ROM Ver 1.72.00WWE and Radio Version 1.17.00.
I only upgraded both ROM and Radio in the past fortnight. It's only since the upgrade that I've had the problem of not being able to 'wake' the XDA and having to do a 'ahrd' reset. I have also another issue regarding the GPRS connection but I'll write a separate email on that.

XDA II Problems
Its nice to know other people have the same problems.....
I have had similar problems and either just remove the battery or do a soft reboot. As I travel a lot, I can't get to my desktop to back up. So I use a 1GIG SD card. But I have'nt lost any data yet.
One annoying problem I had was the damn thing kept switching on every time I picked it up or put in the hard case, or even just laid it down. It seems to have disappeared now. Has anyone else had the same problem? :roll:
so its fate!
check in this morning and mine is doing nothing, nada, zip
hmm soft reset nothing check the threads and this ones at the top!
used all day yesterday sitting on the charger overnight and bingo its dead...
Same problem
Have had intermittent problems with being able to turn on. Took battery out for a while and when it decides to work it automatically has performed a hard reset. Use daily for receiving jobs, recording serial numbers using BT scanner and then e-mailing. As well as being my phone and GPS. Have started taking my laptop with me just so I can restore data on the run.
What a pain!
XDA Problems
From the replies given it appears that the problem lie swith the battery. Has anyone raised this with the supplier? I was thinking of getting a spare one, but they are a bit pricey.
I honestly don't think it's the battery that's at fault. This is because I didn't have any problem with my XDA II until I upgraded the ROM and Radio recently. Secondly, it happens irrespective of whether the battery is fully charged, half charged ... whatever. IMHO, it's whatever was done in the upgrade!
When I got mine back from repair the battery was totally drained as well as the back up battery. would do nada, not switch on, nothing whatever I did.
A few minutes on the charger was not enough. You have to leave it in for about 14 hours once it's in that state for it to become live again.
Don't ask me why, but it needed at least 14hrs on that mains charger !
I too suffer this problem .... only since upgrading too.
Will try the Spritebackup method
guys i have a similar problem. my power button has broken and i turn on the device with the record button (i have remapped the buttons). Yesterday i turnd it on and the screen freezed on the today screen . I performed a soft reset, the screen went blank and it never turned on. Now the device is dead, soft reset won't work, it doesn't seem to charge (no light when i put it on the cradle) and i cannot perform a hard reset because i do not have a working power on/off button.
Is there anything i can do to turn it on?
Before the experts arrive, you could try removing your battery and simcard and leaving them out for a good 15 minutes they try again.
I broke the power on button off my last xda, my hubby soldered it back on
I've had the same problem since 10 days now. First time (friday), the phone just reset itself (hard reset) without reason... 4 times within 2 hours. When I came home i reloaded it for 12 hours and restored a backup. It worked fine from saterday until wednesday.
Then on wednesday it reset (hard reset) itself almost 10 times. Thats the first time i noticed a red light when I tried to recharge. The red light dissapeared after a couple of minutes and the phone would switch on again ... in hard reset mode. Again I left it charging a whole night and restored the backup the next morning. It worked fine again until ... yesterday (monday)... I dropped it (stupid me). It went completely dead. Even when recharging for 2 hours the light was still red. A new fully charged battery (my first thought) did not help a bit.
This morning I opened it up (its about 18 months old, so no more waranty) and i found nothing. When i closed it up... it did a hard reset !!! I changed nothing inside (I even found a little piece of metal afterworths that must have fallen out!). I suspect it was the fact that i removed the battery AND the SIM-card for more than 30min that did the trick. My phone is not SIM-locked (illegal in Belgium to sell sim-locked phones, good thing, but they are a lot more expensive here too). A brand new battery did not help.
Problem is ... when I send it in for repairs, it will be gone for about 4 weeks ! And the best they can do is give me a Sony Ericsson P900. I appreciate their effort, but carkit wont work, no GPS, etc... so i would rather try to solve the problem myself. I'll contact the repair center today and see what they suggest. I'll keep you posted
Cissen, how did you get on? Have you found an answer to your problem yet?
Edit: Mine crashed again yesterday and it showed the battery as being empty although I had fully charged it the day before.... so, I have now ordered a new battery.
They are pretty pricey for branded ones but I found this site yesterday so have ordered one from there - only 20 pounds including delivery so not wasted too much if they're crap

I've got this problem too, when I first got it, it turned for about three seconds then turned off, so I thought it was a dead battery. but when I put the battery in there is no charging light, I have tried 2 different batteries that work fine in my other xda IIi. If I take the battery out and place in the charger a red light comes on.
Ei guys. this is a bit different from your experience. Anyone experienced by just changing battery it went hard reset? or just by changing sim card on the phone, removing the battery just for a second the phone went hard reset although I did checked the backup battery which is in 100%. Anyone?
Hi there,
when I woke up this morning, I hit the power button to switch on the display, in order to see, if there are any emails. However, my HD2 would not switch on. Panically, I connected it to the power cable - no light on top. Aaah... What happened? Yesterday, in the evening, everything was totally fine, everything worked, no problems so far.
Then I took out the battery, put it back in and then the HD2 started up again. Thank God! The battery was still at 80% - so, I am still wondering, what happened to my phone tonight.
Do you have any idea? Did you have a similiar problem?
My blackberry had same issue like your. I replaced the battery, and problem solved. If it's happen to your hd2 again or more times, try to replace battery.
Is it possible you dropped or knocked the phone when you put it to sleep
the night before and dislodged the battery ?
it's probably just a "sudden phone death" problem like it has been first pointed out several months ago in this forum... relocating the battery to force a reboot usually works
Something within Sense or WinMo likely crashed whilst the phone is in standby and it wont recover without a battery pull or pressing the reset button (red one under the battery case).
Updating to another ROM/Radio can remove these problems.
Since I updated from WM6.5 to WP7 (Back to the future Mango and now with the officiel clean update), I cannot charge my phone by the connector (which I cleaned it).
Luckily, I have an external charger and 2 batteries to rotate full and empty but my problem stay remane for a month.
To explain what happen with the mobile, when I connect the charger to the mobile, this one has its screen which powers on, that shows the connection is detected.
The battery icon is changing for the one displaying the state of "in charge", the led becomes alternatively orange and green, but nothing is charged.
It is the same problem with the usb cable when I plug it to computer. Everything is operating (Zune, CabSender, ...) except the charge.
Shall I modify a set in registry, is there a way to solve it?
Kind regards,
Cyril
I have also excperienced this issue (tought not recently), but one or two reboots always solved it...
A possible reason why I haven't got it recently is maybe the ISV Cleanup Update 'cuz that's the only change I made to my HD2. What's also nice 'bout the ISV Cleanup is that it lowered the standby drainage from 7mAh to 5 (after camera trick)...
reboot or hardreset?
Because I switch OFF the mobile everynight and the problem is still here after a month of use
I had the same problem a couple of months ago. It turned out that while I was blaming the software, the middle pin that contacts the battery in the phone was bent a little and wasn't making contact. After I applied some pressure and bent it back straight with the other two it started charging just fine. I don't know if your phone has the same problem but you might take a look.
I think you solve my problem, two or three days ago, I saw the middle pin in opposition of the others one I beleive it was normal. Yetsreday morning, I tried to bent it as the others and yesterday afternon, when I tried to charge the mobile directly from the car (I was driving), after a moment, the battery came from 0% to 5%.
Thank mate
Hi,
I have a problem with my Find 5: I am stuck in a bootloop. The Oppo logo appears and after only a few seconds disappears, the phone vibrates and then the logo appears again. And this goes on and on.
I can get into recovery and fastboot but the real problem ist that my Find 5 will turn of again after maybe one minute into recovery. I tried it with CWM and TWRP. When I want to turn on the phone or get into recovery without being charged, nothing happens.
Before that I haven’t used the Find 5 because the USB-Port was broken and it would not charge. Even if the phone had a connection, its battery percentage would not increase at all. Then I ordered a new battery and a new USB-Port. I installed the new parts and suddenly the phone started to work again. I flashed a new nightly of CM 12 and installed some apps. The next day (it was charging over night) I unplugged the phone at 30%.
When I looked at the battery chart, I could see that the battery percentage did not decrease and also not increase while plugged into the charger. Then after some normal use, the battery percentage jumped from 14% directly to 0% and the phone turned off a few seconds later. When I charged it, it was stuck in a bootloop again. First it took about 30 seconds between the reboots and after the Oppo logo disappeared I could see that it i charging but after some minutes the reboots got faster (every 8 or 9 seconds).
So I am having the same problems with the new parts again but I don’t know why because it worked for some time…
It seems that the battery is broken again but how can it be? It was a brand new battery and it worked for one nearly full charge. Are there some common mistakes when replacing the battery that I could have made to cause my problem? I don’t know what to do and I want to try everything that is possible before getting a new phone.
Edit: Now I know where the problem is (or where it is not) but I have no idea what to do against it. The problem lies somewhere in the mainboard. Because when the charger is plugged in the phone will start to reboot again and again so the cable between USB-port and mainboard should be ok. But the battery is not charging. The phone worked with the new battery for a while because it was already charged when I built it in. And now since the battery is empty again I am experiencing the same problem as before again.
So does anyone have an idea? Where is the exact problem and can I fix it without spending much money on it?
Thanks for your help
Sam
