Hello,
always when I'm on battery power and I talk for about 1minute or 2, i get the msg that the gsm radio has crashed, and the dive will restart in 30s.But only on battery power.Is this a battery problem or maybe I should instal another ROM???
I also have problems, when starting the camera, all I get is a black screen and a freez down, also only on battery power and sometimes, when i go to programs, they freeze to.
I bought a used one htc, and hoped it will work fine, and in the first day everything was ok,but then..
Tnx for all answers,
Tilen.
Slovenia.

I recommend to reflash your ROM and try with a diferent radio
That worked for me.
Instructions can be found in the Wiki
Good luck
Had Same Issue...
I had the same problem...You need a new battery...On demand; your current battery can't put out enough amps.

Had the same problem. After searching through past posts in here I found out the aging battery amperage problem which would shut/reset device under heavier usage.
Tnx to all people,you're great!!
I was afraid that it's something more...horrible, but that's ok!Cause, I had the Wizard, the the HTC Touch, the Tytn and nov qtek 9000 and the last one is the most amazing for me.
It's big but for browsing and working on it, it's just top of the range!
so? It's working?
I use radio in 1.17 version. I don't have any problems with this version...
12nala34
Havent bought the battery yet, don't get the time to do that, but when I'll buy it, I report!
Do the still sell new Universal??From stores out?
I got two batteries (1600mAh) and a charger for ten dollars including shipping from the internet. Ebay is a sure source...After receiving my new batteries, my problem went away....Also, the desktop charger is a good idea; I used to charge mine directly from the wall and noticed that my device would retain heat...Can't be good for the battery OR device...Now, I charge one and use one; by the time one runs out of charge, the other has completed....Works out well for me...
Yes,I'm gonna buy it today over the net,the battery for about 50 USD,that's how the prices here are.
Hope it will work well.

Hi,
I am having an issue with my battery: it drains really really fast, I mean I am loosing 10% per hour. It all started when I flushed my first 128mb compatible rom. I went from Mo3ulla latest to Ivans and back to Mo3ulla and all three had this issue. I also noticed that phone doesn't go to standby, backlight off - works, but turning power off after 2 min setting just doesn't do anything.
Apps I have are:
SPB PocketPlus 4, pBar, A2DPToggle, TCPMP, AEButton and that is pretty much it.
Any ideas and help is very much appreciated.
1. kill resident programs on device such us SPB PocketPlus 4, pBar,
2. check device battery status // they may be in charging status (due hardware bug)
3. execute instructions which i write in theme

did all of the things you mentioned in the thread, problem still exists.
The reason I started a new thread is beause it doesn't seem to be rom related. Could the reason be just old or defective battery?
How old is your device/battery?
If it is older than six-eight months, most likely it is soon going to die. That's how it started for me too. Then it'll get worse, like losing charge when plugged into the mains, and your device suddenly dying at around 50%, which will increase later.
The easiest solution would be to buy a new battery. If that solves the case, then cool. If it doesn't, you'll have a backup battery when your current one dies
Getting worse
I've had the device for about 4-6 month, not sure how long previous owner has had it for. New battery is on the way.
Tried everything. I flushed official rom form i-Mate and then Mo3ulla's latest and radio 1.15 - no luck. On one of the forums here I've read that taking battery out for about 5 min helps with fast draining, I've tried it and think it did help for a bit (I could be wrong) but then all problems came back.
Problems:
1. Registered applications after working properly for few days - now gives an error that the app license data can not be red.
PBar 1.5 top bar indicator moving around on the bar, it starts in the original right position and then moves to the middle of the bar.
2. "Turn device OFF if not used for"... option in power settings doesn't work - the device never turns off. "Turn backlight off" - works fine.
As Mo3ulla suggested I checked the GSM band settings - it is set for PCS1900 which I believe is correct for T-Mobile USA. Is it?
I just hope is is not a hardware issue as I am in USA and there are no UNI repair shops in the area.
If you have any idea on what to do please let me know as I am close to desperate mode and will try anything at this point.
when my battery started dying at 50% within 2 weeks i could only get 1 1/2 minutes of use out of it. i tried different ROMS, followed the instructions in the wiki but none of that worked for me.
Basically it was just the battery, i have used it everyday for about 2 years so i had my use out of it. I would definately buy a new battery for what they cost. i got mine on ebay for about £7 ($14 or so)
Yep

NEw batter is on the way already, I am just affraid that it is something else, like hardware error, and if that's the case - I am screwed.
I've noticed the same thing with my Universe. It started after new ROM upgrade just 3 days ago.
Best way

this information you can obtain from operator itself ... just call to operator

no its not hardware .. in your case its battery ... when battery arrives you will need to proper start use it ....
Update: It's alive
Well it is all better now. I installed Mo3ullas v1(not 128 MB) and device behaved much better: "Turn off power" setting worked and all in all this was excellent rom except for one thing - no A2DP. Then I went with Ivan's V1 and it all looks good now, no strange behavior from apps, power of works. A2DP works and so on, so I guess it was the issue of compatibility of Rom and Device. For some reason 128MB roms don't agree with my (and only my) device. I am looking to by the 64MB ram chips and do the upgrade will see what happens. Thank you all for you help.

Mo3ulla could you clarify what you mean by proper start use it?
Also if anyone knows where I can order just a couple of those 64MB chips - would be greatly appreciated. So far all distributors I contacted want to sell them by thousands and the site that was mentioned here (don't remember the url) that does sell them individually wants $80 and that is way too steep.

Try a different ROM/radio ROM. Some ROMs have some issues, that are only rectified in different builds or with different drivers.

Hello!
Well, i have the same problem(no wifi), and I am trying to do diag's
and I have tried 10-15 times so far , different rom's clean/full(wm5, wm6 wm6.1)
different radios (69.21, 19.21, 43...) in a G4 hardspl-ed.
So I was thinking what else should i try ?
Is there a debug version?
It would be cool to add some diagnostics to wiki!
ps: it was a second hand from ebay

AFAIK, apart from MTTY (which I can't use well) there are no diagnostic tools...
What I would suggest, is flashing the original ROM for your device, and seeing if that works...

well it seems that orange don't have official rom, i'm making tests on power drain
to see if there are "leaks" but the problem is that it is dependent to firmware,
the minimum that i saw was about 16mA with some "clean" rom but typically it
can go up to 56mA
Also i was thinking about firing up a Linux kernel but i don't thing that the wlan is supported (yet).
DASH Power Drain Possible Reason
Hey all, I've got a T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur) running WM6.1 Kavana, which is great!
Thing is, it does not stay lit very long. 5 maybe 6 odd hours.
No Wifi. (Driver not loaded error)
I installed Facada 1.4.9 on it, and somehow, the wifi came back, and was functional, for a whole of one day.
Here's the kicker. The phone was at 100% that morning, when I installed Facade. By 10PM the phone was at 81%, amazing! Hasn't lasted that long (960Mah).
Thing is, I tried the Wi-fi, and it has once again failed. (after 10PM). Battery returned to superdrain mode.
My hypothesis is that the driver doesn't load, because the Wifi is already on, and is not functioning properly! Therefore, since it is on, the battery is draining rapidly trying to maintain power to the wifi. And since the driver doesn't initialize, the phone doesn't recognize (software) that the wifi is on, therefore you can't turn it on or off, and your battery will drain very rapidly.
I'm going to call HTC and give them my opinion on this situation, and see if they have any solutions (apart from buying a new phone.
This is a used E-Bay purchased phone. From day one, full functionality, including WIFI and Bluetooth. Battery lasted up to 3 days on standby.
Now, no Wifi, battery lasts (960Mah) 5-7 hours (standby) less with talking.
Hope this clarifies some of the concern on the battery and wifi loss issues. As soon as I have a solution, I will post back.
Cheers gents!
(Sorry mods for this being NOT in the Excalibur forum, just thought it might be relevant even for a different model seeing as the hardware/software is very similar)
PS. Wifi is once again functional (Day after) for reasons unknown!
Battery is charging, and is actually back to factory specs on battery life.
I bought a I-MATE JAQ4 from a software developer about 8 months ago. I guess this model never went into production, and the phone is a prototype. I-MATE quit the JAQ line. Oh well.
Anyway, anybody know what alternative OS builds I can install on this thing? I am guessing it is not too much different than the JAQ3, it just has WM6 on it.
Any insightful information about this device would be appreciated.
Thanks.
*bump*.....
Imate Jaq4
I also have a the Imate JAQ4 (which is a prototype) - I have been in touch with Imate (via their site) apparently the model is due for release anytime now in this country.
Try checking out the site for suitable downloads.
The only problem I have now encountered is finding a replacement battery - I had to do a hard reset on my unit and since then the battery wont charge (unless any one out there knows a way to jump start the battery back to life).
Everywhere I have tried that advertise compatable batteries do not seem to carry any stock.
I am not sure what is going on with the I-Mate JAQ4, however...
Isn't the same as the Pharos Traveler M619 (http://www.pharosgps.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=001%5FPTL619%5F7%2E9&cat=136 )? I got one, pretty good, but slow processor and low memory (very similar to the Dash, at least it seems to me, but with bigger screen, touch screen and gps, )
There currently not much support in the way of firmware upgrades, but they did release version 6.1 a while back.
GPS refuse SD CARD ,WHY?
my configuration: 2G MICRO SD WITH ADAPTER
when i launch GPS , sd disappear and can't be accessed. i have to plug out and insert again.
why?
there is some patch for this bug .
thanks
Hi everyone, the great great great fourm...
I need advice from you...
I purchase S710 that was locked for some swiss network. The salesman told me that he somehow unlocked it and I can now use it on any network that i want....but I think that he broke it
First issue
-1- Battery life
The battery last 24 hours, I do not have TomTom, my wirelles and bluetooth are off, all power settings are ajusted to increase battery life. Dispalys goes blank after 30 sec. I even do not use it so much (2,3 SMS, 1 call...) whatever I do battery cannot last longer.
-2- Lost connectivity with GSM operater
This is serious issue. It shows full connectivity but no one can reach me, moreover when I try to call the call failed. Only reset (turn off and back on) helps . I have some old nokia and it has also full sinal and is availabe. Both devices are at same operator. All this brings the conclusion that there is something wrong with the new device.
It has wm6.0 and I serously think about flashing.
Do you think that it might help?
Thank you
Igor
About Batery Life Conversation you can read HERE
I dont know anything about signal or chanel. someone should know about this. just wait
in my experience, Im try to flash a vox ROM to another Rom.so I found a best Radio and flash it for my signal and place. it will save your batery life..
hope its help.
thanks
Sure it helps...
Yes, check what Radio version you have, there might be a newer one. Look in the Wiki for more details!
Upgraded to Dr Gonza ROM, It was smooth. So far so good...
Over
It is finally over, I removed dr Gonzo rom and installed WM 6.1 Clean from fireburned. I like keep things simple so that is the why I removed dr Gonzo rom and I had some issues with tornado power manager in dr Gonzo rom....
So the improvement is 400%. My baterry life increased on 4 days, the reception is great, I overall impression is that this is the best HTC device that I ever had. It looks like ordinary phone but has so much possibilites.
Thank you all for keeping this site alive
Igor
wow...its awesome... is it really long for 4days? great.. mine just 1 day w/o use wifi or bluetooth...
i realy need to buy a new batery as mine is 1-2 year old...
hey igrotti which radio that your use yours?
Good evening everyone,
I gladdly use my HTC polaris for 2years with at least 4 days of life ( with HSDPA, WIFI , only GSM) and running WM6.5 since the begginning.
Few weeks ago, I was using the GPS on car when the phone started to reboot few times.
I feel he was very very hot, and it continue to reboot ( usb car plug in )and get hot. ( I had to use the GPS to drive to my destination !)
After this experience, the phone barely has a 1 day of battery life after a full charge.
I naturly thought that the battery overheat and my usb car plug has a problem..
I bought a new battery on 10000volts.com web site ( seems to be an 1350mAh )
=> Same battery life after a full charge.
I've tried to desactivate hardware not used but everything was already desactivate.
I also make an Hard reboot and with both genuine and new battery, I had the same problem.
The phone don't seems to become hot anymore.
Is there any clever guy who can give me any information, tests to know what is the problem ?
Thank a lot.
Hi!
Try installing a new RADIO!
I am using the 1.59.44.02 since I switch to WM6.5 and everything look good to me ?
With Radio version you suggest me to install ?
Thank a lot.
Nicolas
I am now on 1.64.08.21 RADIO
( I was forced to use the direct nbh copy to SD card method...)
I keep you informed of the battery performance.
