you may had this topic before, anyways.
it had no power at all the backup battery was empty sow as the main one. i stick my xda2i charger in, red light shows on the top right of the handset, left it for about a day, picket it up the next day and only the backup battery is 100% :S it turns on every 20 mins i can use it for about 3 mins and it turns of again. help please
sounds like u got a buggered battery mate,
are you charging it using a mains charger or USB only?
noooooo please dont say that, and im using a mains charger
how much is a new battery?
edit: i have a usb thing aswell
the phone is almost brand new
theres two imputs on the phone one on the outside, one on the inside (back of the phone) maybe the outside imput is for the backup battery and the input inside the phone may be for the main battery? but they have diffrent sockets and i only have the one for the backup battery i think.
is that correct? anyone?
thanx
max
edit: so many veiws and no posts?
ok, i found out that it charges the main battery through a usb and im doing that, but it wont charge on the charger :S and when i take the usb out the power goes down like every 3 minutes a % goes down. may be im running something on the device i dont know about? very strange surprised to see such a machine fail its duties. :/
O2 needs to fix themselves
thanx

check the task manager you maybe starting the camera when you take it out of the cradle also what do you leave running in the back ground tapping x in the corner only minimises the program it doent stop it
how do i know whats in the backrpund?
I could suggest a couple of things but I think the easiest course for you to take would be to back up your files and programs (if you need to) and then perform a hard reset, once you've done that leave it to charge overnight. Make sure that your cradle is powered NOT from your computer using USB but from a charger plugged into the wall alternatively you can simply attach the adapter (that came separately to your charger and plug it into the bottom of your phone. The charger charges BOTH the backup and main battery there are no separate "inputs" as you put it. The connection is located at the bottom of your phone beneath the joypad.
I run bluetooth and use wi-fi on my IIi throughout the day as well as make and recieve about 2 1/2 hours worth of calls, My GPRS connection is more or less constantly on and when i'm out and about in my car (approx 2hrs throughout the day) I'm using the 2i as an MP3 player outputting sound through the car speakers. I sync my phone once in the morning and it stays on the cradle for about 10minutes. My battery basically lasts the whole day, by the time i put it on charge at about 11:30 pm its at about 21%
thank you for ur reply's
one more thing this is a stoopid question but how do u turn the phone of?
i tried pressing the on/off button located top left of device but the light just goes out, and i leeve it at night and in the morning the battery is dead im not running any programs.
thank you
max
press the icon on th etop toolbar which displays your reception, select "turn on flight mode", that will turn your phone off
after i press turn on flight mode nothink happens it just says turn of flight mode (wireless off)

i think i need to get a new battery the percent just goes down every 3-5 mins
I have an XV6800, all of a sudden it will only work if I have it plugged into a charger...and yes, the battery IS fully charged. The second I unplug the charger, it goes to sleep and won't wake up unless I plug it back in. The last thing I was doing when this started to happen was trying to get TouchFlo and Action Screen to work, neither would by the way. I removed both of the programs and restarted, several times, but nothing. Can anyone help please?
Full disclosure: I am a designer and use Mac primarily so I don't know a lot about Windows.
Thank you for any help!
if you ask me it sounds like the batt is defect
I've been using it non stop for a week and half though with no problems. Could it still be the battery? I forgot to mention that I had also plugged it into my Mac for the first time with the USB charging cable before it went buggy too. But it works if it is plugged into that.
any electrical component can kneel over and die any moment with or without an warrning
you can try to take out the batt and see if it still act the same when connected to the power source
Figured it out...somehow the backlight setting for battery power got turned to off, so it wasn't really shut off, just not lit! Sorry! Thanks for your replies.
hi,
as you can see, I've got quite unusual problem with my vox.
the phone screen goes black, it blinks once the right green diode for half a second (could this be an error code?) and turns itself off. (not saving any changes made, or sms sent/recieved)
it usually happens when I make a phonecall, or browse the net, but lately it has started to happen randomly, when I browse the menu, or use any other programs.
What's interesting, is that after turning the phone back on form such a malfunction, the battery status shows it's below 20% and turns itself off again almost instantly.
The only solution I've found so far, is to wait some time, switch it on again, and pray that the battery indicator would show the state before malfunctionong. If it does, the phone could work as long as the battery remains charged (or turn itself off again, as it happens more frequently lately)
Does anybody hav some clue what could it be? malfunction of the battery, or phone itself?
I dont think it's a software issue, because just yesterday I replaced WM6.1 (drGonzo) with wm 6.5 ( the 2.1 ver by frauhottelmann)
and it still occusrs.
Same problem
Yeah i am also facing the same problem with my Vox...it is around 1.5 yrs old...and i know its battery is dying...but it happens even the battery is fully charged...
Is it really because of the battery or some hardware...
Dude its due to battery .May be you are charging your machine through USB. Your battery need replacement..It will show you full battery.Its false showy.
I faced the same.Now I happy after changing my batttery
FIrst of all check the battery mates.
Me and my friend both had the vox that with full battery charged suddenly turned off after a call...and definitely was THE BATTERY.
Now I bought a double capacity for about 10 euros shipped...and my vox stays on without intensive usage (3-4 calls of 4 min each, and about 10-15 sms for about 8 (EIGHT) days)
Try to empty the battery completely and then recharge it completely!
To really empty it, put it in boot loader and unplug the cable. Let it sit until the screen turns off. Then recharge it without turning the device on.
My phone has started doing this recently, it doesnt seem to be as bad if I put it on Aircraft mode, but it always turns off randomly after a while at least, I am going to try frauhottelmann idea now.
Also, if it works I would like to flash it to WM6.5, how can I check to see if I need the USLP? I got the phone second hand so I am not sure what the phone was originally.
Had this problem for a few weeks now. Just put it into boot loader mode to see if it works. Shall let you know later or tomorrow
forgot to update the topic ;D
I've changed the battery for a new one, and now it's running smoothly and lovely

Since i m facing the same problem and that now it is confirmed that it is due to battery, I wished to try FMs idea. but its now more than 2 days in bootloader, my phone is still not discharged completely. is there any other way to completely discharge the battery?
Well, seems your battery has plenty of life! LoL
BTW I suggest you to activate BT and WIFI...then run TCMP into loop and maximum volume...
the phone should run out fast...when the phone suts itself off..you could do the FM's thing just to refine the discharge.

No luck with this method. The problem still persists. It is still turning off randomly.
Guess finally, i'll have to change the battery. hope after changing the battery the problem gets solved.

yap, its the battery alright. facing the same issue, but the battery is warn out due to intensive charging from my car...
so, incoming new battery
actually i think i have a different kind of problem... my mobiles do not restarts instantly, the screen first fades to grey (as if the lcd is damaged with only grey and white vertical lines visible), and then to black and then it restarts. has any one faced similar problems? Can this be solved by changing the battery?
and i dont know but somehow each time i set the correct TIME in the clock, after sometime my clock slows and shows the wrong time(as in case of a wall clock with weak batteries).
any suggestions?
This method worked for me....
Switch off the phone, take out SIM..clean the sim enclosure area and insert SIM..RESTART

An easier way to turn the phone off other than having to remove and rinsert the battery if the power button does not work, is to open the Sim card door.

Hi anyone...
Need help to see if there is solution to my dead i780. After charging for quite sometime, the led indicator still remain "RED". I suspected something went wrong so I unplug the power and the red indicate still there. I tried switching on or off the phone but was unsuccessful. No choice, I have to take out my battery and place it back. After doing so, the phone cannot be turn on anymore!!!
Having an external battery charger and spare battery, I tested with a different battery but still unsuccessful. Charge the existing battery with the external charger have no issue. So I concluded that the problem now lies with the phone... any solution? or anyone encountered this before.
If I send for repair, is it worth it? $20++ for checking and $XXX.XX for parts.
Thank you.
Hi
I bought my relay from ebay http://goo.gl/GbQ1Nt just started using the phone today.. I put my SIM card of a carrier from Peru and it worked just fine. Everything was running smoothly.. I was making phonecalls and texting.. I put my gmail account and started downloadign some apps..
After a couple of hours, the battery was almost dead so I plugged it..
After five minutes, the screen turned off out of the blue.. and I haven't been able to turn it on since
It won't turn on, nor enter recovery or download mode
I'm not even sure it is charging.. when i plug it the red led turns on.. but there is no other charging indicator..
I'm in Peru so returning it is a bit o f a challenge.. I was just wondering if any of you guys know what could be wrong..
Thanks

The link you posted for the auction doesn't work. Wanted to check if you got it new or used. One thing I've noticed with mine is that I have to hold down the power button for a second or two to get it to turn on (seemed like it was a little bit longer than other phones I've had).
Outside of that it sounds like it might be some kind of hardware problem. Might even just be a bad battery. One thing you could try is using an external charger for the battery if you have a universal lithium ion charger or if you know someone who has one. That way you might be able to narrow it down to a problem with the charging circuit in the phone.

thanks for replying
I've edited the link
I tried an external power bank but it didn't even turn it on.. so I narrowed it like you said to: the battery is so messed up it won't even charge or the battery is fine but the whole charging circuit is wrong.
Then I took it to an electrician and he said the battery had energy and should start the phone, but it didn't.
After that he charged the battery alone for a little bit with his "whatever kind of car-battery-like thing" but it still was not turning the phone on.
When I came home I plugged it once more to the external powerbank and some how the charging animation appeared..
I let it charge for a while but it didn't seem to progress, so i turned it on and holly crap it turned on
but after the boot animation it vibrated and turned off and now it's not charging again
man.. i thought i had it
any thoughts?
i've read about something called sticky power button.. its a hardware problem in the galaxy sII model.. could it be related?
Not sure about the sticky power button I've never had it happen to me. I would think that when you had it on it would have popped up the reboot menu like when the power button is being held down. If it were me I would contact the seller.
i returned to the electrician and he recharged a little bit more the battery..
this time it did turned on and it reached the lockscreen it said 1%
so I plugged it.. and it now stays on.. and it says charging but stays at 0%.. doesn't advance.. is it a battery issue or a charging circuit issue?
forget about the sticky power button
