My device : Imate Jas Jar, see below.

My device was doing soft resets when my applications were going in and out of data contection by different software tools, data connection via Wifi or GPRS.

For example I would open Netfront 3.3, then close it and then device would soft reset. I would turn on wifi, then turn it off, the device would soft reset.

Well all I did was change the (orginial) battery over for a new one and all works fine.

All I cant work out is that the power spikes requires to do connection functions must have been to tough for the battery, hence the battery wearing it self out. I have no idea otherwise.

Any ideas...I dont !

Thanks.

Is this right, am I reading one of the first battery issues on a Universal running WM5 as opposed to the other battery issues under WM6?

After changing to WM6 my Device( Universal) use to shut down ca. by 30-35% remaining battery reading. After following so many post here I thought my battery is going down.

However just recently for few days I have flash back the original ROM. Now comes the strange issue: After flashing the original ROM I have observed that I could use my device (with same battery) down to 5% reading.

After one week later flash back the WM6 and see there the device shutting down again by 30-35% battery reading.

I have always and still do suspected a falwed battery interface driver in WM6 but could not technically reproduce it. This is still a work in progress for me but its good to know that there might be a real problem after all in WM6.
