big problem, after taking battery out, Jam resets

[Anonymous]

The battery says its 100%. But everytime i take the battery out for 5 sec and put it back in again and turn on the pda, it is as if it has resetted and the stuff comes as if im putting it on for the first time (ie. the tap the screen and application stuff installs come) and everything is wiped off.

Looks like your battery is dead. Go back to your supplier and have it replaced

On Himalaya this ocurs too, but ONLY when the Phone was on (ie not in flight mode) when you take out the battery.
Remedy: Put phone in flight mode before taking out battery!
Maybe that also works with the Magician

But, every time you open the cover for the main battery, you switch off the device! There is a switch. Putting it bach into your MDA, you switch it on. Just this way...

Exactly, you switch OFF the device when the Phone is ON.

The are three ways to switch something OFF:
1. Go into Flight mode: Switches off the Radio functionality (including the Phone)
2. Switch off the PDA: Use the power-button, Radio Functionality remains active
3. Take out battery: All off!

When you take out the battery, the Phone (ie the Radio) has to be OFF to avoid a hard-reset.

When you take out the battery when the Phone is OFF, you only get a soft-reset

With my previous Xda II, I have the same problem too. But I think it's the small switch that cause the hard reset. When removing the battery we have to slide down the switch. After taking up the battery don't ever try to slide up the switch with the battery not in the place. Only when the battery is in its place then you should slide down the switch to lock the battery.

I tried turning on the flight mode before taking out the battery.. but the magician still resets!..

Any other suggestions?

With the Jam/mini, you NEED to flick the soft red plastic "Battery lock" out of its slot on the right hand side, or you will run the risk of a hard reset. You don't pull it right off, just flick it away from its "Locked" position. Not sure why a proper switch could not have been built in on the left hand side.

The red rubber is not connected to any kind of circuit.. it is there jsut to keep the battery tight.. anyways i tried it.. and my mini still hard resets..

Thanks for the input tho.

i have the same problem too... hard reset everytime i take the battery out even only 5 secs. i did turn the flight mode on, then press the power button. its not help. still hard reset. do you think the backup battery is dead?? how to check this? because its always show 100%.. please help.

hi all... for who has the same problem like mine (take out batery then got hard reset instead of softreset), the solution is: SENT IT BACK FOR REPAIR TO THE SERVICE CENTRE.

also, dont forget to write: " please change my RF/MAIN BOARD" otherwise, they will change ur backup battery only, and this wont solve the problem.

i got mine fixed, and i get new IMEI number as a result. first, they replace the backup battery only, and WITHOUT CHECK it, send the phone back to me. im shocked to find that it still had the same problem. made a serious complaint and send it back, this time the manager take care of my phone directly.. hehhehehe.... well, thats the story... thx for all of u that read n give comments about this problem.
