Hi ,well I ve bought a 9 month old sx56;I charge it for a few hours ,and when I reconnect the phone fm the crandle,after 20 seconds switches off.I try to switch it on but doesn't respond to the button ,soft reset nor hard reset.What should I do?Now f.e. the sx56 switches on only when you install it to the crandle ,when I reconnect lasts on for a few secs.
Thanks guys.
PocketPCTechs ( http://www.pocketpctechs.com ) offers a Do-It-Yourself kit to replace the battery. Find it here.
dead battery
Thank you
Take care.
My sx56 doesn't respond on battery power
But I'm thinking that ,even if the battery is dead it will notify me or at least swich on for a m.second .Dunno what to say.
100% battery
Hello ,
The battery indicates 100% but the device switches off.Even if I uninstall it from the crandle it lasts a few secs ,but when I push the on/off button doesn't switch on again.
Dead Battery
I too have exactly the same problem. Let me know if the new battery fixes it.
Hope it works out
Thanks
xda lasts off the crandle a few secs
Ok,will let you know ,and where to buy the battery ;if that fixs the problem.By the way ,is your xda a 2nd hand too?The battery costs $80 +$24 for shipping.
Cheers
Dead Battery???????
Yes i brought it off ebay! Not sure what the problem is!
If you can post what fixes yours that would be appreciated
Thanks tedd, good luck!
Has NOT been repaired
-With the new battery used to work perfect for many hours but the same day died(after I left it charging for a few hrs).
- When I first installed it , the on/off button didn't respond so I had to switch on by plug it instantly to the crandle.
I first unlocked it by using the rom kichen from Yorch.net. maybe it's a software or hardware matter,who knows...
XDA Battery
THANKS!!!!
I actually desoldered the SIM door switch and bridged a wire across the terminals! The switch was broken you see! The XDA now thinks the door is always closed 8)
Still wouldn't work properly though so I'm going to order one from the same place as you. Hopefully it will then work!
Thanks for your help
Same problem occured!!!Oh my god!
Everything seems ok .For instance,went out and was working perfect for many hours.
When I got home charged it for a three hours.Then before I go to sleep uninstalled it fm the crandle and opened the reader to read a book,and guess what :switched off by itself!.
XDA Sim Door Switch Fix
Tedd: I just sent you the email with the pic in.
For everyone else this is what is did to stop my XDA from resetting all the time!
1) Desoldered the sim door switch and binned it because it was broken!
2) Used one strand of copper wire and bridged over both terminals to trick the XDA in thinking that the door is closed!
3) Remember to tin the wire first as the terminals are very small!
4) FINALLY! Don't take the sim card out when the XDA is switched on!
My XDA still won't hold charge though! Must get a new battery and hope nothing else is faulty!
Here is the pic!
My new battery wasted.
Thank you,Mark for the email. I 've tried everything.
I bought a new 1800 mAh battery but the problem insists.Don't buy another battery yet.
Guys I think that is not up to our hands anymore,we must send it for a repair.I have to ship it to TX .Will post you back again when the diagnosis comes up. Will take some time.
But I insist that the 2 day new battery,I bought, DID NOT solve the problem.Think about it ,which battery does not last even to switch the ppc on for at least 1/4 of sec?
Regards,
Tedd
XDA Battery
My battery lasts a few seconds!!!! Had all the same problems as you!
It works fine when the XDA is connected to external power, but when it is removed it dies!
It also used to reset alot, even with external power! The switch fix has solved that now though.
My power feed to the XDA is from a PC via a BRANDO USB cable. I measured the output from it the other day and it is kicking out 350mA. I don't know if this is even enough to charge the XDA battery!
Someone said between 500mA and 1A is needed to charge the XDA, so this might also be the problem.
No charge even with the 1A charger
I get the same problem with dead battery. If it has a power source, it works nicely. If unpluged from power source, it dies after 20 seconds. I use the original T-Mobile power adapter 1A and it does not charge the battery. I also use another adapter 600mA and does not charge battery neither.
I would love to know how to fix this problem.
My problem started when I upgraded the RS from Tmobile from 6.24.0 to 6.24.1 . The upgrade failed at 1% and then the battery drained and never recharged. I have not try to solder or replace the battery yet.
Ben
Does upgrading the radio stack cause a charging fault?
There have been many posts now with this problem and one thing has become apparent - no-one knows what causes this fault.
After alot of thought i now believe that either upgrading the rsu/ruu or unlocking the xda may cause it not to charge. Many people have reported that failed installations which hang on 1% result in the battery never charging up.
One thing that wories me is that i perfomed an upgrade to 4.21 and that failed at 1%. Thing is though my phone actually still works and recognises it is running the 4.21 version, strange! It still does not charge though - it only runs on power from the USB sync cable.
When i brought my phone off ebay the power button didn't work or the battery wouldn't charge so i couldn't test my theory out
If anyone knows what is going on here i would be glad to here your views cos this problem has got me stumped for sure!
The Final result .
Hello guys. The fault is very expensive to fix it.At least on mine unit.
The special technicians couldn't fix the unit.
They said that I have to replace the whole motherboard for $200.That what the diagnosis showed,a faulse motherboard omg!And they tried many different sources and batteries to charge it.
The phone is useless now.Donno maybe I will pay for it.Maybe not,sell it as it is or for spear parts.
GSM ERROR
I think one final solution to go for an SD card copy of the ROM and GSM through the bootloader from a new working XDA1 then flash it into your non working XDA
otherwise as mentioned in another thread telling that the service for the device informed the user that there is a damaged motherboard due to radioStak failure, so he had to purchase a new motherboard for about 300$ as I remember.
Peace

Good idea!
Has anyone got or know where to find a copy of a working ROM and GSM that i can try on my xda.
Currently running
3.17 ruu and 4.21 rsu
Failing that i am going to link the xda up to some high power AA batteries and fool it into thinking that the battery is full. This should allow me to install a new rsu.
I still believe that the non charging fault is software related as i have tried everything! I even bridged a wire across the fuse F0 like aquasesh did! Still not charging though.
If none of these work my xda will surely be dead forever
Fooling the XDA with another battery
That won't work either. I've tried to fully charge an external battery on a different XDA, then connect it to the one with failed RSU upgrade, and it still didn't work (failed at 1%). Some RSU corruptions are just not possible to fix without a serial cable and ceratin software. A user from Russia has observed technicians in a service center fixing failed RSU upgrades using some terminal emulation software, but could not get them to share a copy.
Hello XDA-Users....
I've got a little problem with my xda-device.
It's just doing not much. If i attach the device to the cradle. The system turned on and is beginning to start the ROM (I see the T-Mobile screen). I-ve got the hint that the installed ROM is 3.13. Radiostack and Protocol is empty. -> should be then GSM-Error in the bootloader.
After all this messages i've got an short "pling" (beep) of the device, and it all begins from starting....
I can not enter bootloader (nothing happens) and the battery won't be charged..... (There is no light)
I've checked already the fuse of the device. Looks good. What else do i have for possibilities to get the device working again? That the GSM-Part does not work is not important. I need the device just for testing and installing new software to include in the kitchen. So the phone function is not needed.
The battery semms to work, I still got some Volt if i check it with the multimeter.
Anyone have some tips for me?
Stefan
Have you looked at the connector on the base of the xda under magnification, it may be a bent pin on that or on the cradle that is preventing charging.
Connector looks good.
If i conect it, the device is getting power.
When i disconnect the cable / cradle the device stops doing anything and goes off.
If i do an hard reset with connected USB-cable, nothing happens.
If i try enter bootloader the display is flashing until i refuse the power button. Than endless "booting" starts again...
Stefan
It does sound like a low power situation, I think the gsm will not switch in unless there is sufficient power. If you need a battery I have one here that was removed from an xda a few months ago but should be fine, send me your address if you need it and I will give it to you.
That previous post was from me. Also have you checked that you dont have a stuck button.?
The buttons looks fine. tested them already. So that isn't the fault *damn*
If you can send me the battery, that would be very nice.
Maybe it's really the probelm. But i think, if the battery is in bad condition, there should be anway going a light on to show "going to load tthe battery".....

If a hard reset doesn't solve the problem, then try this.
DO A FULL BACKUP FIRST!!!
Open the XDA, and remove the battery
(together with whatever circuit is attached)
Put the battery in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
Remove it, and reinstall it.
Now put it back in the cradle and it should charge.
Then to a restpore from the backup.
This just happened to me and it brought my XDA back to life.
A chemical process happens to rechargeable batteries that
prevents them from receiving a charge. Apparently freezing
the battery for a very short time (20 minutes) corrects this.
Try this at your own risk, but I did it to my only XDA and it is working fine
for about a week now. Otherwise I would have had to scrap my XDA.
Let me know how it works for you.

Sorry to hear it didn't work.
Its been over a week and mine seems to be holding up.
I'd have to guess you battery is completely dead.
i have the same problem
you seem to be having the same problem as me m8 do you have no radio
or information on the radio task bar.
my unit keeps on re-starting the same as yours and i cant access setup even after hard reset. i attempt to charge the unit and the pwr light comes on briefly then goes out after approx 10 secs the unit then starts itself up and as mentioned before turns itself on and off randomly.
(i have no software for this unit just the unit and charger no memory card)
i am new to pda's do i need any softwares if i get it working?
any feedback appreciated
Dear Gurus ...
I need help. During the upgrading process, the connection was disconnected and my XDAII is currently not showing any sign of life.
I ran through the forum, and tries a lot of stuff:
1) try to reset it to bootloader (pwr+joy+reset) - nothing
2) change USB port - nothing
3) setting in MsActiveSync - nothing
There is no display on the screen right now. Even if I put it in to charge there is nothing, no flashing blue led etc ... just dead ....
One thing I noticed is that after removing the battery, and putting it into the cradle, there is a red led light up.
Currently I ran out of options and can only think off taking out the battery for the XDAII to drain completely (not sure if this could help me get into the bootloader mode).
Any one out there who has any bright ideas? Pls help as I am desperate to fix my XDAII .... thanks ....

I had the same problem but I didn't loose hope. I kept on resetting it until I was able to get into the bootloader mode. It was black with some writings "SERIAL 1.06". When I put it back on cradle, Serial changed into USB 1.06. Tried to do the upgrade over and over again but didn't work. I put AC Adapter to my cradle and hard reset my unit, put back to the cradle, started the upgrade again and it worked. :wink:

So many people have their XDA II gone dead while upgrading to the second edition rom. What went wrong during the process ?

There are several Golden Rules when upgrading - not just to SE, but any upgrade.
Always make sure the cradle is attached directly to a USB port on the PC and not through a hub.
Always make sure the power supply is connected to the cradle.
Disable USB in Activesync connection settings.
Disable any screensavers
If an error does occur, putting your device into bootloader mode and restarting the upgrade often proceeds OK.
Bootloader mode can be a little tricky to obtain as the multi-directional button has to be pressed directly down in the middle - not tilted up, tilted down, tilted left or tilted right, at the same time as pressing the power button and the reset switch.
It is very easy to assume bootloader is not working when it may just take several attempts before you get it right.

My qtek2020 dead because it's my mistake I upgrade it to SE correctly but with Chinese Version and before DCS post his ROM when I saw it's working better than my PDA2K I try to flash my qtek2020 with the PDA2K ROM ( I make some HEX editing ) but with no luck my qtek2020 is totally dead
Any body have solution !
How I recover from my dead XDA II ..
I have to agree with DCS that those are the rules and you need to follow them properly. It's not the ROM that's having the problem but the procedure needs to be followed.
In my case I didn't have the Sync cable properly connected (I bought a new sync cable & I didn't use the cradle) to upgrade the XDAII (duh!).. and I paid the price of having my heart droped on the floor ..
My nightmare started when the cable came loose halfway through the upgrade, so the XDA kind of "hung" and when I tried to reset it, it refuse to show any signs. Do a small test. My guess is as long as you take out the battery, put the XDA II into the charger (without a battery), and the red light comes on, that's a good sign.
For those who is stuck in this situation try this steps:
1) Remove the main battery
2) Leave it out for at least 30mins (to drain the backup battery)
3) Go make your self a coffee or watch TV (time flies faster than staring at your XDAII)
4) Put the battery back (at this stage it still won't work)
5) Put the XDAII into the AC Charger (give it a good 5mins charge)
6) Then keep doing the hard reset (just don't give up, it's like doing CPR, your XDAII will show "Serial 1.06" after a good hard resets ...)
Those steps above did work for my XDAII .... and it should work for most cases as I believe when we upgrade (the ROM) we don't touch the bootloader. Sometimes when we screw up, the XDAII got "hung" and it needs a good "cold boot". Taking the battery out won't help because the backup battery is still in. After a good "cold boot" the XDAII will boot into the bootloader and you can resume your upgrade ;-)
NOTE : Do keep your fingers cross through out the entire process.
PS: Thanks to DCS, Twinkle, mamaich and many others who contributed to this fine forum ... Long live the XDA I, II, IIs, III .... beyond ....
How to upgrade my BOOOTLOADER VERSION (it shows USB 1.01)
Is there a way to change my bootloader version from USB 1.01 to 1.06? I'm currently using T-Mobile MDA-II.
Thanks beforehand!
I have a big problem: this summer i dropped my MDA2 on a concrete floor and i broke the power button so I cant make anything but soft reset, or to remove the battery for 30 min for hard reset.

I'm trying and trying to hard reset it I can't see the bootloader, I discharged the backup batt already. Can you help here or is there any other suggestion?
Ps: If I remove the battery and plug the Ac.Adpt I can see here the red light , but if I put back the battery there won't be red light , is that normal ?

Sanity saved
Thanx to dcs i was able to get my device working again.
During upgrade (wich was also possible due to time and effort by DCS) my laptop went into standby for unknown reason.
So my xda got stuck in T-Mobile bootscreen
It was this thread and especially the posting by dcs wich saved my ass (and xda)
for i did not know about the reset with third button to get into bootloader.
Now i finally upgraded to 2003SE.
Thanx DCS!!

Hi,
I have an O2 XDA 1. This morning I noticed the battery was empty so I tried plugging it in to charge. The orange light does not come on and the battery does not charge no matter how long I leave it on. I have tried it both in the cradle and with an adaptor but still nothing happens. I even changed the internal battery but it is still the same.
Any ideas as to what i can do?

Charge problems
Hi! i don't know will it halp you or knop. I am not a profi with pda...
but i had the same problems before.
I used car charger. next day battery was almost dead. u put usual charger. not results. u put it through cradle, the same not result.I scared. then i tryed to put car charger,then wall charger,then car charger and wall charger again and it started !!!
i guess the problem is in pda power logic <program didn't switch different power from charger and stop receive a charger in general >
may be u have this problems bc in the wall power were shortly powered down <may be shortly it jump from 220 to 200 voltage>
u can also try to put it to 220 and 120 voltage wall power.
sorry if my english is awful. hope it will help u
Hello Guys..
I've same problem with you guys..
The last day i charge my Wallaby was 2 days ago, and this morning i try to re-charge it with USB but cannot recharge, i try the cradle but it doesn't recharge too.
I think the battery was good because my O2 was powered on and running normal, just cannot re-charge.
I try to remember what i have done before... then.. i remember..
Before i try to recharge, my friend was try to connect his Universal USB Cable for his HP IPAQ (I forget the series) to my Wallaby and his PC detect and try to Synch my Wallaby but the charging indicator doesn't lite.
I Think, Maybe.. something wrong with the electricity, amphere, voltage, or whatever that comes out from his Universal USB Cable.
I have been hard reset and go to boot loader to see the Battery test, but doesn;t help..
Any body can help us??

That´s the problem. Ipaq has other Pin layout, so you have damaged something in your device. I´m giessing, that the fuse is blowen away...
Stefan
Oh my..
My Wallaby was physically broken because the shortcircuit, right?
I affraid the money i must to spend to repair will be the same like i buy it (second hand)..
Nothing i can do but go to repair shop, right?
You can try fixing it yourself. You can check if the fuse is not working any more and you can replace it, if you´re kind in soldering....
Stefan
Hello LumpiStefan,
It was a long time no see.
Still use the wallaby with ROM cooked by your ROM Cooker until now.
I just wan to give my credit to you LumpiStefan.

Wallaby charging problem
Hi guys,
I have a charging problem too. I have a wallaby. when i put it onto cradle led turns to amber and then immediately to green. Settings > Power section says the battery full of 100%. But when put off it from cradle, 1 minute later, it goes off. I changed the battery with a new one. still same problem. I also checked two fuses located on both side of the main board. They are OK. No fuses blowned.
So, don't know what to do. it actually works very well but charging problem. I don't want to throw it away. any other external charging device is OK for me.
I need your helps. Thanks.

Hello all. This is my first post.
I've used my Wallaby for many years. Yesterday it doesn't start anymore and if I put it into the cradle no light is displayed.
Last change I did was to replace my GSM SIM card with a UMTS one; since that moment it doesn't work anymore.
You were talking about fuses... Where are they located exactly ? What kind of fuse are they ? How can I check if they're blowned ?
Moreover.. I've a backup of my Wallaby... eventually is there any emulator where I can resume/restore all my contacts ?
Thanks,
Marco

Come on guys
Someone must know how to sort this out??
can it be fixed?

Have you tried just flashing the ROM again?
Can you still enter the bootloader ?

Cant see the phone
hi, i cant re-rflash as when i connect to the pc, it does not see it,
thinking the only way im going to get this sorted out is to return it to t-mobile, just hope it would still be under warrenty, anyway i could cover it,
maybe a magnet stuck to it for a few days might help when they check it over??
thanks
just tried hard reset and bootloader reset again, with batter in, charger in, just charger ect
still no rwesponse
just red ring of dead around joystick, when using charger only
Try this, exactly:
- disconnect any cable;
- remove the battery;
- the SIM;
- wait 10 seconds;
- put the battery back;
- enter bootloader (camera button - pressed down all the way - with comm. manager + reset).
If you don't get the bootloader screen (with various color stripes on the screen), then yes, your Athena's unfortunately bricked.
Nooooooooooooooo
nothing at all mate,
but i guess the battery could be flat,
is there no way to get it to power up,
do you think i could send it away under warrenty?

Anyone near you that can lend you a fully charged battery? Alternatively buy a cheap spare battery.
@onkyojonny
Where are you located?
im near ashford in east sussex, and work in london, if someone can sort it out im happy to make a donation ;-)
thanks
Concerning the return, if you're not able to enter even bootloader mode, all that will be left is to return it, but it's indeed true that if they see your SPL's modified, for instance, they might send it back to you with a "sorry" note. :-S
is there noone on this forum that can sort it out??
rather that than send it back,
Bootloader's the absolute minimum that you need to recover from apparent bricking. If you don't, then I don't know of any "software" mean to rescue your Athena, alas.

Hi
I just had this happen to me, but for completely different reasons. I left my Athena on charge for an hour when the battery was at 10%. It then showed 60%. I then wanted to check that my spare battery had some charge, so I swapped battery and got into exactly the same situation that you have, red light on charger and nothing on either battery.
After reading this forum I tried procedure of taking everything out inc. SIM and leaving it for a minute, still no joy on the 1st battery. Left it again for a minute and tried the 2nd battery and it came to life instantly and booted. The 2nd battery reports 100% charge.
I would suggest that you buy / borrow a battery and try it. It is highly frustrating that you can't use the Athena mains only & swap batteries, but you can't, I tried. If you order a battery (I got one for £11, it is a Cameron Sino which have a bad reputation but it lasts all day, can't argue with that) you should get it tomorrow in the post.
I will see if now that it is working the OEM battery works. It may be that it has not charged properly.
Hope you get it working again.

Follow up, yes it worked when I put the OEM battery back in, still with the SIM out. I have now put the SIM back in and the 2nd battery & all OK. Very unscientifically I would say that taking everything out & using a fresh battery seems to have fixed mine.
yes, one of my (aftermarket) batteries produced the same symptoms just yesterday. it was in a near fully discharged state (< 5%)... so i wanted to put it in the athena and charge it. but athena would not turn on, just the red light. charging did not make a difference.
put the other battery back that was in it previously, it booted instantly, then i put the discharged one in and it still booted and then i was able to charge it up.
note: at other cases i can still boot the athena with such a discharged battery, they have enough juice in them, apparently the problem was something else.
...though i have a desktop charger for the thing.. just didn't feel like trying to dig it up. anyway here is a cheap battery AND desktop charger: http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-Charger...hZ010QQcategoryZ20350QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
the charger should charge your battery up without having to buy a new battery (except the seller gives you one as a bonus) and hope it has enough charge in it. might help someone hopefully

Not a rip off on postage either - bargain, so just ordered one as a spare.
Thanks for the heads up.
