JASJAR turns off at 40% battery!! Please help

[timloridenehy]

When I got the jasjar 3 days ago there didnt seem to be any issues, so I upgraded to the Helmi_UNI_AKU3.3_v1.2 everything seemed to work as it should then my battery reached 40% and bam the device shutoff. So I tried the 3.5 and same thing, now I have my original ROM JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.exe back on and its a little better it gets to 33% then dies.
I know this wasnt happening prior to me owning this device as it was my close friend who gave it to me.

Can anyone shed any light on why this would be happening?

Thanks in advance.

You have to buy a new battery. Your battery is damaged. A few months ago I had the same problem. The Universal battery has a life spam of 6 to 12 months. At a certain point when you drop your phone or flash a new image, the battery forgets its state. It will think that there is enough power left but in fact the voltage is dropping to fast and the phone shuts itself off. Believe me you need another battery.

Thank you very much for your advice, I just ordered a new one.
So when I flash new roms I should use my old battery?


Thanks again

Does anyone know why batteries die so fast.

I had a battery the first go out at 20% then it grew to 55%
I couldn't use my Universal for a day.

I went back to the store and got a new battery.

I think, when you flash your device with a new rom and or radio. You should have your device fully charged.
Can anyone confirm?

Not sure on the answer, but I have 2 batteries, one 12 months old the other 2 months old & the Uni with 3.3 on it started this behaviour yesterday whichever battery it is using - roughly 30% left.

I am upgrading my other Uni to 3.5 just now to see whether that one suffers the same.

As I have a new battery & am having the same fault I am not so sure .....

It is a hardare issue, unlikely a software issue.

I do not agree. At first I had the same idea. I thought the device must be broken. I bought a new battery but still I had the same problem. But at the tech center thay gave me a free new battery to prove I was wrong. I got a original MDA PRO battery and when I use that battery it stops working at 2-3%.

1. So order an orginal battery. Use the old one when flashing.
2. Be sure that the battery is fully changed. Flashing can skrew-up the memory state of the battery. When that happens the current sate will be te fully charged state and it looks like it stops at 40%. But in fact it is does never get fully loaded.

This issues have already being discussed and sort of already concluded in many other threads, you can make a search.

Just to summarise,
1. Most of them agree it is a battery problem. Lithium Polymer is no good after around 6 months.
2. Few isolated cases of not battery problem which is hardware related.
3. I always activesync with my old spoiled battery (this is just my personal advice as I do not want to risk my new battery). This also avoids USB charging.
4. Charge only when LED is RED (less than 10%) and until LED turns GREEN (real 100%).

Mine and a work colleagues Execs (bought early Jan 06 under their cock-up £99 scheme) both started to shut down at odd power reserves as in this thread. Both had new batteries, both before and since new batts sometimes wouldn't charge or recognise the power cables.

Also, both have been back to O2 for repairs with the result when they come back, one is in exactly the same state as before, and the other (mine) stck in splash screen. Both came with a note from O2 saying problem found and repaired, and even a QA check slip (ie:evidently no QA - are they pulling a fast one or what?)

Anyways, both are going back to O2 to try again.

If you are in warranty, get it back to them. Wait for the battery by all means but my experience says this is more than a battery problem.

Sorry, thats not what you wanted to hear I know.

Hope you get your Hardware problem fixed, like those cases mentioed in the other threads.

Mine is the battery problem like most cases mentioned in other threads.

My new battery now can goes from GREEN 100% to RED 0% to complete shutdown is possible.

But I normally charge around RED less than 5%.
