My Orange SPV has died on me - did it yesterday, just went blank and wouldnt turn on, then after battery removal and fiddling it burst back into life and was fine. Today it did the same, but it won't come back - I thought it was a flat battery, but its still the sames with a fresh charged one. When I plug the phone into the charging cradle, the 'phone live' light shows red.
Any suggestions how to fix it ? - the unit is bog-standard, and I havn't done anything to kill it.
Any suggestions welcome, thanks

for softely done

what happen????
may it help you
hey i chek hardware it okay i try fill charge bettery also
hi chirag
if know the hardware then heat up the processor with blowergun or hotairgun what ever you call it but put the liquide solder past on it first then in hotairgun the temp on 4 and air on 4 or 5 and blow for 1.5 to 2 min on processor and disk on chip or ram give the hot air to it after that put ipa on it and clean the hole thing put your display and battery and make hard rest or flash fresh rom on it .
i think its work for you
the reson of boot up failure
is because the extrem use of your phone is make the bollgride which is connecting your processor and motherbord Drysolder in it after this action all drysolder is resolder to its place and its start reworking
Thanks

my o2 xda mini sometimes shows d backup batt 100% and sometimes 0% ...i tried to upgrade rom frm 1.11 to 1.13 ver but i didnt helped me .....plzz tell me wat to do to come out frm this error due to which my o2 is not getting on more that 2 min ...it gets auto shutdown and sometimes restart
dont think its a ROM problem. just get it checked at the service centre.
well tanxs 4 d reply but sir i want 2 get it repair through myself n im having these same problem in 2 sets (xda mini ) so plz give me any other suggestion
from what u said abt ur backup battery it seems that something inside ur phone is malfunctioning. it looks as if the battery is not accessible. otherwise there shud be no reason why ur backup battery shud be at 0%. the backup battery will only be used if ur main battery is flat. is ur main battery fine? if ur main battery if fine then ur backup mite need replacement.
Try not to speak in 'txt' language here. Some people may not understand you.
Anyway I can tell you where the battery is at least. First disassemble your Magician until you reach page 15 of this guide. Now refer to the picture below, which is the same as the picture on page 15 except the speaker has been moved. Notice what's been circled? Thats the battery!
Don't ask me how the heck you're going to get it out though, or what type it is. Its a NiMH. Thats all I know.
I had the same problem.
All i did was pry out the backup battery and clean the contacts. When i removed the battery the contacts had some sort of corrosion on it, a simple electric contact cleaner did the job.
Goodluck finding a replacement, here in australia not even the speacialist stock that button battery.
Whitemoo.
aye aye captain mr. toomuchdogfur
toomuchdogfur sir ur link is not working i cant see the image of the batt
tha backup battery placed near simcard slot and below the camera mirror

Which Radio Rom are you using ?
Try another
wout
I've been using 1.17 but when I use 1.15 the screen also fade to blue or white
Try without sd card
or
try older (reliable) wm5 rom
wout
I already try KAMAL WM5 but still it happens and I also forget to mention that when the screen fade to white or blue my phone suddenly become hot..is there any possibility that the problem is from the hardware?
That doesn't sound good.
could you try another battery ?
and turn wifi of
was wifi on ? when screen went with/blue
wout
Yes, I have try another battery and the wifi is off..
The screen went blue when I was receiving sms or when I want to send sms.
sometime when I left the phone standby for half an hour the phone cannot be turned on and I have to press the reset button and after entering the splash screen the screen went blue/white again so I have to reset several time
i think its something e related to the vibrate? its shorted or somehting and the power is going there but no vibration.. thus causing the overheating and the freezing.. im not sure but maybe.. also have you dropped the machine?
Appears to be a hardware problem. You may try this, it may work:
1. Remove the battery. Keep the battery out at least for a few hours.
2. With the battery out operate a few keys randomly. Also operate the on/off switch a couple of times.
3. Remove your sim card and storage card.
4. Put the battery back.
5.Allow the booting process without intruption.
6. If it works well just switch off, remove battery and insert the sim card and sd card. reboot
Although it sounds a bit wierd it does work in some cases. Worth giving it a try.
thanks Wout,dj_gabzz,d_ranade for the help
I have installed the official WM5 and now it seems ok..
it means that the problem is because of the roms not the hardware..
and once again thanks a lot guys

Hi
I have a problem with my o2 xda mini.
i used it without any problem for 1 year. Then last week when i push standy button at the right top of the phone, it hard reset automatically!! It always hard reset when i push stand by button. i cant use this ppc...
then i made rom upgrade as it says on the following page : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
but nothing happened. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Adem
hi,
My phone did the same until I found that the problem was the battery was "loose" inside the and lose connection to the phone.
I end up with the phone with full battery and 0% on the reserve battery and that causes the hardware reset.
My simple solution was to insert a small piece of paper on the oposite site of the connectors of the battery / phone to force the battery back to correcto position.

installed latest rom... nothing happened again.
charged pda along 1 day.. nothing happened again.
i dont know what to do.. i cant use this ppc . do u have any other advice ?
thanks a lot
Hi
the problem u r facing is very simple
its absolutely not a software issue
its a hardware issues
you see, when press both the power n reset button simultaneously it hard resets the device
which simply means that your reset button is short with dust, rust etc
for that u'll have to open the back compartment and clean it or replace
thats all
Call me at +92-300-3812680
for further assistance if you need
Best of luck!
POWER button = RESET button
Hi, I am ALi from Malaysia, have this problem also recently after I noticed I was place my PPC under one or more drops of water at my garage. I am using O2 XDA2mini an has upgraded to 1.13.00 WWE a year ago. after that I let the PPC died (0% batery) including the backup battery. then I try to charge it back, it become hard-reset state (that was expected!!) but after certain of time, the power button for standby option cant be execute, but it will reset the PPC,not HardReset. I can just dimmed the light (push the power button longer). could it be my PPC got shorten by that drop of water? fyi, I had already open the PPC for servicing, blow some fresh normal cold air through it to make the trapped water dry, after I assemble it again, the POWER button still emulates as RESET button, y? hope some experties here can give some answers regarding an expected hardware failure or whatever means...
tq in advanced.
ALi
I got the same problem
I come from China.
I got the same problem this year.
I dissamble the XDA, and re-weld the backup bettery. Nothing happen.
I also upgrade the FW to WM6.5(I think everyone know the XDA mini has the WM6.5 this year), Nothing happen.
Is there any other idear?
I will dissamble the XDA tonight to dissamble the reset button from the mainboard to see what will happen.

Try to charge battarey with external charger (not in phone). Or with orriginal charger, connect it and leave at 6-12 hours.
And when you try to turn on phone ith it have red blinking for a second?
May be that you reflash incorrect botloader (IPL & SPL). I know method how to repair it, but ferst of all check that your battarey ith full charge...
yes exactly, when i have the baterry in the device and i want to turn it on, i flashes verry weak for a moment..
and when i remove the battery and put it into my original charger, it flashes strong for a second when i put the connector in.
so i am correct, that means my battery is empty and i have to find a way to charge it external..
i already have an offer for an another phone, do you think i can repair this one?
and which method do i have to use?
thanks in advance
edit:
with some wires and an another adapter i figered a way out to charge the baterry external..
it would be great if you could help me.

Chek the voltage of baterry ( it must be near 3.7-4.3 v). The easy external charge you can make taking the charger with same V & Am parameters, choping connector and take the choped wires to baterry in right dirrection "+" to "+" & "-" to "-", but this is dangerous way soo if you dont uderstand how to doo this, dont doo it.
But it seems, as when you try to connect orriginal charger there are only blincking for a second and nothing else, that you destroy the bootloader on your phone...
And is this blincking red or orange flash ?
no i realy know what i am doing and i let it charge for a couple of hours but there is no result..
it still doesn't do anything and i know the battery is full now.
when i want to turn it on, it flashes red, so if the bootloader is destroyed that means that he not can be repaired is it?
well.. i already thougd that it was over but now i now it for sure..
thanks for youre help

I can repair it ( I repaired many devices with same problem), but i am from ukraine, soo i dont know is it possible to send it to me for repeairing, or i can buy it from you for experements in repairing...
i live in holland so that is a bit to far for driving indeed
well, ofcourse i can sent it to you but what does that costs? transport, repairing etc..
or you may buy mines for experimenting and than i buy an another one..
how much would you give for my 8300?
is repairing so difficult that i cant do it my own? or do i need special tools or something?

I dont know about shipping cost from you country(you must find out on your post services), for repairing i ask near 20 EUR. And ofcourse shipping by your costs in both sides.
If you want to sell it for me i can give you near 30-35 EUR (it is dependent from accesories and outward appearance).And I pay shipping costs.
Yes for repairing you need special tools (special cable etc.) and wide experience...
oke then i want to sell it to you that makes it a lot easyer, because special tools and experience is not really what i got
i am going to buy a 8310 so i want to keep some accesiores like car holder and stuff.. i can offer you the phone and battery and charger..
so that will be 35 + shipping costs? i will look that up, i dont think that is verry much..
i will sent you a message with my bank acount number and then i would like to know youre adress so i can sent it to you..

My phone doesn't want restart (all the time black screen) .

What can I do to get it to work?
Please help

This guide right for your phone( i meen the procedure). But if you took the ROM from this guide, you kill bootloader in your phone, becouse (maybe) it including the IPL & SPL for TYPHOON. Wright mee to PM...
And give mee a link dirrectly to the ROM that you flashing...

This is for HTC Typhoon/Feelar/Amadeus not for Tornado, so your phone is dead, you flash bootloader from other phone. Wright me to PM
I have O2 Cocoon but i dont know why sometime it's automatic turn off and i need to take off battery and put it in again to make it work
And 1 day it's off again but when i turn it on...it's keep repeat start up screen...and it's doesn't booting....!! it's always stuck into start up screen and keep repeat like forever...!!! and the important thing is it's can turn on start up screen when i plug the charger in....and with out charger it's said battery is too low (it's always said that when i have charger on...[When i hold Power Buttons)
Can't load start up screen on with out charger....!!!
Some one know how to fix it or have some idea to fix it..!!1
Thank you
Paul
that sounds like a serious hardware issue.
something related to power.
did you try to replace the battery?
i did...but it's samething ..!!
If you can't even get to load the OS and your device keeps on resetting, i'm afraid it's not something you can deal with..
of course, i might be mistaken, so i suggest you conduct a deep search into the forum concerning this issue. I hope you find an answer.
oh i did seach for the answer but i can't find it...and someone said i need to send my fone to O2 stores to fix it...cus this is an O2 fault..!!!
Yeah
Im currently having the same exact problem with my "fuze". mine currently has a custom rom on it and i thought maybe that its just some internal problem with the os. All that i think will fix our problems is a hard reset...does anyone know how to hard reset this device because for some reason the normal way is not an option.
ioono why o2 have this problem alot
