Gsmart MS800 battery problem - General Questions and Answers

Hi, i've a little problem with my gsmart ms800:
two days ago i flashed my ms800 with the official ITA rom to solve some problems with mms and internet connection.. well, from the moment i flashed, my phone turn off every time it reach the 40% of battery charge (from 100% to 40% all is OK)..
It was quite difficult to flash my phone (i tried 3 roms downloaded from different places, and for two times the flashing was failed) so i prefer not to flash another time.
I think it's not a battery problem because the phone turn off in the regular way with the exiting animation, so it seems to be the OS who make it turn off.
I've read some time ago about changing the registry settings of battery level but really i dont remember which are registry entries and values and i've losen much time searching in internet today, can you help me?
Thank you for any suggestion.

sleep of death

any one else getting it? unit goes in to standby and then wont wake up you have to soft reset.
ive been getting it frequently very anoying im using the big storage rom i dont rember who made it i can find out of some one wants to know
but is any one else having problems like me?
No problems here. I'm using the clean 1978 ROM...
I had it happen yesterday, running the stock AT&T ROM.
Hi
No problems here either.
It's worth remembering the phone wakes itself up about once an hour, although the display is dark so you will not see this happening.
If you have installed some software that doesn't handle this switching on very well and it crashes the phone, it will look the phone has died in standby, but it probably hasn't, it just looks that way.
I would advise a clean reset and not to install any programs, and see if it happens again. If it does your phone may be faulty, for example a memory problem that surfaces when the phone goes into a low power state.

Mine SOD'ed last night. I was using the phone, turned the screen off using the power button, then plugged it into my computer USB to charge. I was trying to do it one-handed and as you could imagine I was fiddling with the cable/phone for 30 seconds before I got the mini-usb plug into the phone. I watched to see the charging light come on but it didn't. I then tried to turn on the phone and realized I was SOD'ed. It only happens to me once every 1-2 weeks. My phone runs the stock Tilt ROM, but with lots of custom cabs installed, ie:
HTC Home 6 button
HTC Taskmanager 2.0 30995
Skype
Color Dot battery indicator
Schaps 10 Button Comm manager
PocketCM
Funambol 6.5.4
I push my phone all day long, surfing, ssh'ing into servers with putty, imap email, playing music etc, and I think if there was a bad memory issue Id see something other than an SOD. IMHO,theres a bug in the power management software.
SOD happened on my Tilt too. Im runnig the ATT rom. I had the same problem with the 8525 with the earlier ROM. The problem is IMAP email push. IF you use IMAP there is a chance you will get SOD once in a while. I changed all my emails to POP3 never had SOD since then.
I think you guys have to run the kaiser tweek to turn off the sleep mode in the registry. I had the SOD once....forgot to modify the registry via the kaisertweak app. 1st 2 options i think is what you have to modify.....that should fix you guys up.
Happened With Me too !!!
Now after using my at&t tilt flashed with HTC stock rom for 5 days, suddenly today my device suffered from a SOD.... had to soft-reset.... tried to figure out what went wrong but without any luck..... do any of u guys figured out the cause.... Kaiser Tweak only allows us to disable the sleep mode during call.....
kaiser falling sleep happens to me so frequently that I read all the posts with the key words KAISER FREEZE on xda-developers.
The only solution seems to power off and on again.
On modaco.com somebody posted a small applet which does automatically the power on-off for you.
Of course this does not remove the problem, just hide it...
Additionally I have tried 4 different WWE ROMS! from Att to HTC original ROMS to cooked Helmi aka 0.7.0 etc... No way to solve.
Please if modifying the registry can solve, can somebody post the link for kaiser tweaks and possibly the application?
Thanks

I think it might have something to do with Windows Live Maps program. This happend to me everytime I was using the program in the background. I upgraded the version and it stopped the problem I was having.

Same here... I upgraded to helmi_c's Tilt ROM and haven't had the problem since. Pretty much guarantted though, if you leave Live Search running in the background and your phone goes to sleep... it will not wake up with the stock ATT ROM (at least with the current version of Live Search).
Cheers!!
SOD has typical been associated with running programs off of a Storage card. I had tons of SOD problems with the early WM6 Hermes ROMs. So far I have only had SOD a few times on my Tilt (running austinsync's BigStorage ROM). I installed Google maps to my microSD and within 20 minutes had 3 SODs. I uninstalled it and they stoppped immediately (Live Search is way better anyway).
I would recommend installing any programs that you use heavily or leave running onto the main memory. Also, saving attachments to a storage card has been a known cause as well.
I think SOD issues will get better as more ROMs start coming out for the Kaiser (and the chefs keep cooking).
OK, this keeps happening to me with the AT&T ROM....today it happened with no programs running in the background, anybody figure out a solution yet?
Me too
well I've had this problem also while running my own cooked rom, however to be fair i had this problem in the early days of the hermes. I thought however that the hermes problem was related to activesync's push email and the data connection (i.e. switching between 3G and 2G alot making activesync trip out) That all said maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?!
Oh just in case anyone as the time to investgate this problem, I do know the Toshiba G900 had alot of problems with SOD inwhich tosh releases a fix for...... maybe if someone was to look at what that fixed it could help us here? have a read here > www.my900.com
Kaiser won't power back up
My unit after reset won't either power up or down with the power button. Everything still functions.
I found that if I have the power charger connected it works fine, so I thought I had a weak battery. Got a new battery and same thing.
Don't know what's going on, but if you do a soft reset with the charger plugged in, it will reset fine.
Hope someone figures this out!
Be careful overconfiguring...

This might be the case, but I tried calling my phone when it SOD'd and didn't get a ring (it rang on the phone I was calling from.) I bet the problem is installed programs conflicting somehow, maybe kaisertweak will fix it in the future.
I can't guess what causes it tho...
For now, I'm running Kyphur's XDA Live and it has yet to happen.

I was running Kypher's Tilt XDA-Live v 1.0 (AWSOME) with several custom cabs including PocketCM and was getting the SOD every time. I wiped the phone and started adding all of my cabs one at a time and all of them are loaded back in except PocketCM and since then i have not seen a single SOD.

I've noticed that I get the SOD a LOT more when I have bluetooth active. Not sure if that's just coincidental but literally the only time I've noticed the SOD has been when I've had BT enabled.
Happens to me a few times a week very annoying.
Well, I don't do emails, use Windows live, have pocketCM, used my bluetooth, tried Google maps, or have any programs on my sd card (basically whatever you all mentioned above, I don't have or do!), and still get SOD. So I guess I start backtracking. Sigh...

Different Touch Pro every soft reset

Hi all,
I've got the Touch pro for a few months now and I've tried different roms. I really like it but I have a pretty annoying problem. I've had problems with every rom I've tried and I don't think it's due to the specific roms or the radio roms I use. For instance, I've used the RomeOS and I got terrible gps fix (sometimes need a soft reset to get a fix after 15 mins) I got a bug where the phone app would launch everytime I slid out the keyboard. Also sometimes tf3d just won't start, or very slowly. With the .19 rom I got problems with normal phone reception and text messages were not being sent. Soft resets would help most of the time but not on the long term.
Now I thought I could fix the bad GPS reception with a different radio rom and that seemed to work but after a few days it turned bad again and I needed soft resets and fresh flashes of the radio roms to keep the gps working.
I'm currently using M-rom with the australian radio rom, comming from .19 which was good for a few weeks and then didn't give me any gps locks anymore. As usual it started out good but now after a few days the gps sucks again. Also the phone launching bug is back. The strange thing is that a friend of mine is using the exact same combination of roms with the exact same phone (mda vario IV) and he has no trouble at all. I always do a hard reset before and after a flash (after customization) so I don't think the problems are caused by bad flashes.
Does anyone know what's causing this or what I can do to find out?
Are you installing any additional programs on your TP? Your common denominator may be something you're installing afterwards.
I only use pimbackup to restore the contacts. I don't install much other programs...
Same problem with mine (KPN - Dutch as well). GPS starts to take more and more time after using it for a while. Even worse is not using it for a while and then using it again. My (not optimal) solution: download the QuickGPS data earlier then required, and then turn the phone off using the power button by holding it a bit longer. Subsequently go outside in the garden and start Google maps. Wait a few minutes and pray that you have a fix.

Time randomly changing

Hi guys,
The time on my touch pro has started randomly changing recently for no apparent reason - I've changed nothing significant and time zone is correct. Any ideas as to the likely cause?
Thanks,
John
My wife has this same bug on her kaiser. We've discovered it only happens when "docking" the ppc to the computer. Something to do w/ activesynch+xp+6.1winmo .
Hers changes by one hour on the computer and the phone. Very weird.
I had this on my TP and HTC said that i should restart Touchflo3D. and that seems to fix it
I used to have this problem on the original firmware; specifically the time would move back a few hours every time I used "Airplane Mode". Since the firmware update I haven't had the problem anymore...

[Q] wifi bug

please help, i have very annoying problem my wifi act very strange if i turn on phone and turn on wifi on phone it function normally, and when i turn of wifi on phone it turn off normally but then when i try to turn on again its not function anymore it force close, wifi turn off by itself i mustr reboot the phone to make it function again, please help ( ps i use stock rom v21 b and then 21d but the problem still there, internet from 3g work perfectly, and sorry about my english )
it happens i think for all, the reason is unkonw but all I can tell it's related to the settings, if you try to enter wifi settings you'll get a force close, the only way to fix it is to restart the phone.
I've noticed that this issue causes the battery to drain faster
I posted same issue but the thread name wasn't so clear.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519436
I still haven't found the solution so have kept the wifi on always on but now it reboots from time to time (froyo using acura newline v3 o/c rom).
As alankstiyo said above it drains the battery in matter of minutes. If you have Cpu usage program you can check and will see one process tiwlan_wq using 48% of cpu all the time till battery dies.
I use a widget and when it dies, the light turns into a faded green that way I know that it has crashed, maybe LG doesn't even know about it or they know but don't want to do anything
LG has effed up on this phone on so many fronts they just recently acknowledged about ghost call issue. I doubt they'll be bothered to look in this issue as they keep churning out phone after phone. For me this was the first and last LG phone.
NExt one SGIII..
true, I've seen a lot of announcements, prada, 3x 3dmx but nothing regarding the "old" phones
it's like if they forget about their own existence or customers, I'm deciding this week or month to buy a xperia s or not, so bye bye o3d (after just 6 months or so)

HELP: Device constantly crashes at any moment/action

I have problem with my Sensation which lasts already 3-4 months.
Maybe someone has same issue and can or suggest what to do.
Lyrics:I'm quit advanced linux user admin, so patching flashing etc is not really hard for me. But i don't want to get super into android internals and debries. i just need plug and play device and i consider all firmwares as plug and play upload to phone restart get new firmware. but something like incorrect battery usage or fixing android video drivers is not for coz i have enough headache at with similar issues on other kind of devices. So hope you understand.
Hope it's not hardware problem and only software.
So here we go:
1 Phone can switch off at any moment while answering sms, opening some folder, settings or whatever interaction.
Or it just switching off in same amount of time like 10-15 minutes
It's not restarting it's switching off, even if it has 100% battery.
2 while it being switched off and on (switched on manually) it shows different battery status like 70% after some time it's switching on and on next boot it's already has 83 percent.
every reboot different percents from higher values to lower e.g. 75 32 59 12 96 5
3 while booting in 4EXT recovery i think it showes proper percentage because it's not jumping and remains constant.
4 My phone specs: vanilla HtcSensation ARHD 6.7.2 (this problem started from early 6.x as i remember ). Bootlocker unlocked. proper firmware and radio.
HBOOT 1.29.0000
radio 11.24a.3504.31_m
OpenADSP v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
Have 2xbattery anker 1900mAh
5 I can't catch any messages in a Logcat it's being cleared off while switching on/off. If you can suggest any remote logging capabilities for android real time log monitoring on remote host i'll apreciate it.
6 Sometimes absolute clean install with superwipe like fixes phone and it remeins stable for several days like normally draining battery from 100% to 0% without sudden crashes.
7 while this problem occurs it can shuttodw exatly after boot. and after next restart it may boot without crashes untill some interaction or period of time.
8 while this problem and booted into the system and charging from this fake low "percents" it takes hours to gain 1% like from 12 to 13 it took 3 hours, but not always
9 While phone is connected to pc via USB it remains stable without crashes, never switched off while on USB. But during restarts still shows different battery percents.
like right now i had phone connected to usb whole day long and got 100% showed in system. after manual restart system now shows 80% while in recovery it shows proper "full" battery
Please maybe someone will help me to fix phone without bringing it back by warranty
ROMS
Have you tried using another ROM ?
If you like Sense ROM's try using Elegancia.
I also say try using Elegancia, i have used others on my sensation and to me i think it is the best one,
