Hi I am having a few hassells with my cruise
1) when I charge it the red light stays red but does charge to yellow but battery charges - phone boots etc
2) as I said in an earlier post the soft reset button doesnt do anything at all - i did try swapping the reset button/button board for another - no effect
3) the camera isnt working
I have been through all the posts here but dont see solutions - any thoughts chaps/chappetts
I also tried updating to HDSPL and new roms and they work but dont help problems
I have two batteries I dont know the history of and am thinking its maybe them? But they doo appear to hold charge so??/
Kind regards
John

I know this is a bit of an old phone now, but I'm hoping someone might be able to help...
When I switch the phone on, it gets to the Windows Mobile screen and then just hangs. After a few minutes, it turns itself off.
So far, I've tried the following;
1. Soft reset
2. Hard reset
3. Remove battery, put on charge (red light), replace battery (amber light), hard reset
4. Removed battery for 2 weeks
5. Praying
6. Swearing
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thx

Hi
You could try starting the device in bootloader in order to re-flash the ROM, or flash a new ROM. Methods for this are:
1) Press the soft reset hole button whilst holding camera button fully in.
2) Remove the battery, then re-insert it and switch the device on by pressing the power button but again ensuring the camera button is depressed fully.
3) Remove the battery and re-insert it. Don't switch the device on but plug it into a Windows PC using a USB cable whilst, you guessed it, depressing the camera button.
If you can get into bootloader (three coloured screen with some yellow writing) then you can probably reflash the device. It sounds like a software problem not a hardware problem but I could be wrong on that.
If you can't get the device into bootloader mode you have a problem that is more complicated to fix, about which I can't advice.
Best wishes

Hi,
Thanks for the reply....I couldn't get your method to bring up the bootloader to work, but tried pressing Power and OK while doing a soft reset.
This brought up a screen with 4 horizontal bars - red, green blue & white. Text at the top says;
HERM100 (text in white)
IPL-1.01
HERM100 (text in yellow)
SPL-1.04
In the white bar is the word 'Serial'
Does this sound right?
Then it just hangs on this screen - is there something else I am supposed press on the phone, or do I do something via my laptop with activesync etc?
Sorry for the additional questions, but I've never had to do this before.
Thanks
An update....
After noticing that 'No GSM' appears on the splash screen, I have now found this page which I think might answer my questions.
I'll have a go at this tonight

Hi XDA-devs!
I've been going through this forum for quite a while now, but sadly I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem
I got a Kaiser 130 which isn't performing very well, actually it isn't performing at all.
Here is the problem:
Fully charged battery (not the problem)
I go push the powerbutton
Green light comes on and no more than that.
What I've tried so far:
Pulled the battery
Pulled the battery and pressed Power for more than 30 seconds.
Pushed the reset button while on (Turns out the green light)
Reset + Cam + Power (Turns it on again)
Power + Softkeys (Turns out the green light)
All sorts of battery dismounting and mounting, which suddenly gave a blink of a red light for a change.
Well this can be fixed! (initial thought)
BUT
I am unable to make the device do anything at all when it comes to USB connections in the way that the device gives no indication to Windows or Linux at all, so how am I supposed to get through to the device with frankenkaiser, MTTY or anything else?
It gives no indication to Active Sync, Windows Mobile Device Center or "The upgrade to WM6.1" HTC program.
The USB-connection is just not working!
The phone looks perfect and has never been used, but has been bricked for more than 2 years before I got my hands on it. It comes from an institution and was never used because it didn't work, so no damage has occoured.
It holds the original rom and has never been modded or anything.
So is this device simply out of my reach or am I missing something?

try HARD RESET after power on. tat saved mine two days ago
Hi! I am owner of HTC Magic (still android 1.6, no idea how to flash new version ) and i have 2 problems from this morning i woke up.
PROBLEM #1: For some reason i boot from power button and all i see is a black screen with a blue led (this happens 19/20 times). The first time it started up, everything went ok(tried every single button combo, but i found out that it's just a matter of luck)...System was fine,nothing deleted except one little thing...Trackball was not working properly and many times it did anything it wants and had some hard laggy times!
PROBLEM #2: Even the battery is 100%, in 1 hour it's 0% with the phone being able to cook eggs(The temprature goes really high)!
Also, i tried many times to start it up, cause i didn't notice the battary was flat out...Again ~20tries...
Checked solutions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533240 Nothing matched my problems 100%... :S
UPDATE: I just opened the phone to clean everything.
1)I noticed that the trackball's sensors where REALLY dirty and connectors didn't have a good contact with the board. So, i cleaned them (i disolved it whole) and trackball works fine but up and left is not working at all(maybe i placed the sensors wrong?)...
2)i found out some sand (damn vacations in beaches...) over the battery board and now it works perfect!
3)I still haven't figured why blue led lights up on power up effort...
Any ideas?
Please i need some answer so i retrench for new phone...

here is link for firmware WM 6.1/6.5
http://all-cooked.blogspot.com/
let me know your phone was recently unlocked? this is "dead phone after unlock"- known problem after unlock a phone also could be hardware faulty
also check battery voltage also a problem with ipaq series is that not to many tools leaked from HP
most important check battery voltage blinking indicates low battery phone can not start also use a battery from another ipaq by example 6515 they are compatible
I know this phone it's nice
by the way what did you do to reflash there are instructions check link above

this is how to reset
1. Press the power button to turn off the HP iPAQ.
2. Press and hold the Voice Commander button on the left panel of your HP iPAQ and the power button at the same time.
3. Hold the buttons for 2 seconds.
4. A Clean Boot message displays, indicating successful restoration of factory settings on your HP iPAQ.
I can't say exactly because it's not in my hand but try this tutorial to see if phone is software bricked
http://my.opera.com/Wutske/blog/2009/12/25/bricked-ipaq-614c-dnw-to-the-rescue
if not working sorry but this is hardware problem
good luck and tell me more about results!

Hi, i am having a similar issue. I just received a brand-new battery for the HP 614c and no matter how much i charge it (even after the green light turns-on) it switches off seconds after being disconnected from AC saying "low battery voltage detected, switching off within 10 seconds, YES/NO" (while you can't actually press any option), is there anything to do with this problem? I bought this battery cause i thought it was due to the old one but the same thing is happening.
Thank you.
Hello all
just before i get started i did have a thread here regarding this issue before but sadly unable to find it now so seems i need to start over....
this is more of an update on what has been done so far but will just give detail about the issue from start
when this phone came to me it was not functioning i have no clue to what the wife done to it.... it appears that it may not be charging and something is stopping it from charging..... the charging indicator is on (( orange )) and the battery will display on screen with a lightening bolt in the center.... if i plug into laptop the laptop will sound off the USB connection and disconnection alert will do that 3 or 4 times
pressing power button will make phone vibrate and will display a battery with the lightening bolt assuming that means battery is flat as a pancake
holding volume up and power button brings me into the recovery option total of 3 options show 1) normal 2) fastboot 3) recovery whatever i select say for example recovery it will display the Asus and powered by Android this will last for about 3 to 5 seconds before going off again
so that is the state of the phone as of now and even after other things i have done as i will mention
in the past i have come across 2 phones with the very same issue the first one i flashed my self that phone only shown a charging indicator light but i found the flash tool and rom from the Alcatel website and it fixed the issue so assuming the same would apply with this Asus also the other phone i had with same issue was fixed with a flash
so here is what i have done so far using SP flash tools and following instructions from different places i have successfully flashed over the Stock Rom done it under download only also format + download and even tried firmware upgrade but i am still stuck with the same thing as mentioned above
obviously after flashing the phone it needs to power up to complete the setup process but as is clear i cannot do that if the battery has little to no juice
so what i am looking for is a solution to getting the phone to charge again or a way to charge the battery by other means (( bare in mind this phone has built in battery )) (( battery has been replaced new ))
what could be causing the phone to not charge or at least give battery the power it needs i ask because i do believe the phone is giving the battery some power but very little..... the way i look at this situation is like installing a sound card on a PC but not installing the driver the PC knows the sound card is there but cannot work without the driver same seems to apply with the phone
if i disconnect the battery from the main board the laptop will not pick up the phone even if i press down on the volume down button as i do when using SP flash and the orange charge light flashes so i don't see the issue being with mainboard but more likely a software glitch maybe the MTK chip is not doing its job properly or maybe it thinks the battery has full charge and stops the charger from adding more juice when in fact battery is flat
so can anyone enlighten me to what could be the problem and a solution
thanks in advance
