Hi,
My O2 XDA Exec, for reasons best known to itself (well, not to me anyway), has started soft-resetting itself randomly. In fact, it can be part-way through the boot-up sequence after a soft-reset, and reset again! The period between resets can be mere seconds to 30+ minutes of error-free use.
I have tried hard-resetting, removing any additional software, and am running 'Corporate' version of the ROM. The ROM version is 1.13.82 WWE (30/11/05), Radio version 1.04.02, ExtROM version 1.13.188 WWE.
The Exec will show this behaviour whilst plugged into the USB cable (which trickle charges it), the A/C charger, and when standing by itself. It seems to start getting worse when battery level reaches around 70%.
I have not submitted it to any shock, and the device has worked fine for months now. I'm sitting in India at the moment on holiday, and wonder whether gradual heat exposure might have been causing problems.
I'm not entirely convinced that upgrading to the latest ROM will work unless somehow the ROM has been corrupted. In fact, I'm scared the device will reset again part-way through the ROM upgrade, and leave me with an expensive brick.
My suspicions lie with a fault with the battery or the voltage sensing circuit.
Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated, as I have been unable to find any other posts that look similar to mine.
Cheers,
James
