Hi,
I have an XDA-Orbit which is automatically turning itself on every couple of minutes, which is obviously draining my battery and effectively rendering my device useless.
I have "BatteryStatus" installed which, amongst other things, displays an icon on the today screen that tells you the current power drain on the device in milliAmps. If the device is plugged into the mains, this software tells you the positive current that is being added to the device.
I am almost certain that this program is pointing the the problem I have, since whenever the screen lights up (or when the device turns itself on fully), BatteryStatus is reporting that the consumption has changed from being a negative (drain) on the device to a positive input of current. The icon also changes to a plug, implying that it's been connected to the mains and power is being supplied. For some unknown reason, the device seems to think that it's connected to the mains and is having a positive amount of power being put into it when there's nothing connected to the device.
Has anyone else come across this problem? Can anyone suggest how I might fix it?
The device is NOT plugged into the mains! And there's no power actually going into it.
Many Thanks,
Rob
