View Full Version : Atom Life restarting on incoming calls

Weird thing: Every now and then my Atom Life reboots when I get an incoming call. It rings for around 2 seconds and reboots. Any idea what that may be? I have no other problems at all, it never restarts when anything else happens!

that happens to me as well. shits me to know end... I think the battery charge may have something to do with it. ie if my atom life is fully charge i don't think it happens? it just seems to be when it gets lower... great to know i'm not the only one with this problem though.

the same problem.it happens all the time when the battery is at 40% or less.

I think you're right. I changed to another battery I have, and that seems to have fixed it. Strange thing is that the battery I have used so far has been between 70 & 80 % when it's happened, and it dies at around 40 %. Probably a faulty battery. Thanks! :)

you mean your phone works fine now,even on 20%?

Actually, i've read on several forum that Atom, watever model it is comes with a battery that is somewhat faulty. Changing to another battery other that the default one actually solves the problem of it shutting down @ 40%..

Bikiapo, unfortunately, no. I thought I had fixed it, but I hadn't. :(

Lann_78, that doesn't surprise me! These units have a few problems that are really annoying, but for me the postivies (fast CPU, good connectivity, small size) makes up for it in my book. I have a few no original batteries laying around from my previous Atom, so I'll try with those. Thanks!

im wondering what O2 says about all of this.because im sure they know.we bought our devices with money not with nuts.all over the internet they talk about this devices with the worst words.O2 MUST DO SOMETHING!!!

Well, since I changed the battery I haven't had any problems. I guess it's a subcontractor that cut corners on the battery. I guessing that they simply can't keep the voltage at the necessary 3.7 Volts when they fall below 50 %, or whatever the real percentage it is, and there's a surge in power usage, like a call coming in.

i just buy a battery 3550 mAh.till now was 1530 mAh.do you think it will fix the problem?

Probably. Those batteries are very thick, so you need another backplate. But you probably got that as well in the package, right?

yes there is one in the package.have you ever saw a battery like this one? is it much bigger than the original battery?and the weight...?
Mastiff

I have no idea, I have only seen it in the eBay auctions, and I know that if a battery has that much more capacity and has a new backplate, it must be bigger. Which is why I don't buy one, I like my aluminum case too much.

Hey i was under the impression that aftr i dropped my O2 Atom life a couple opf times the batery has started behaving erratically.....good to know that others are also facing the same issue...in my case the phone goes off and then i need to put it on...is it the same what everyone else goes trhough...i too feel that only when it is below 40% mark this problem happens that an incoming call rings for a few seconds and then the phone goes off...

visit the site gsmerana.com and you will see thar we are not alone.many owners of atom life with the same problems.

I've got the same problem. But it solved now.

Just change the CPU profile to best Power. It works on Me

Strange. I always had the CPU profile set like that. It didn't do any good for me. But what did help was to use another battery. I haven't had the problem since I stopped using the batteries that came with the thing.

It's true the battery that came with the package didn't fit excatly in the device, the battery size a bit smaller than the slot. So i try to put some paper so the battery could fit in.

The fit isn't the problem. The problem is that if it's below 50 % charge the voltage sinks so low that a call will make the phone restart. And even turning on the WiFi can reboot it.

hey there. new in the forum, new atom life for me..
but i had the same problem as you guys.
the thing is that atom not only restarted, the device couldnt boot at all. after several tries i had to do hard reset... twice in 3 days.. and thank god i didnt have any important data to lose at the moment, but who knows in the future?At the beggining i thought that some programm crashed but now i see there is something more serious here...
All we have to do is send our complaints to O2 about all this. if this is a manufacter problem then they have to solve it for us... dont you think?

What's your firmware version?
try the latest firmware from seeo2.com

Got the same glitch: my Atom Life reboots at incoming calls when battery us below 50%. Same with latest "official" and "pdaviet" firmwares, must be a hardware problem.

I noticed that the phone restart problem only occurred when using few particular ROM'S, not with all. So I am guessing that the ROM has something to do with it.

what bullshit guys,restart problems while incoming calls is a very simple problem,its actually the loose battery architecture,which actually looses the contact from battery socket while there is a call or a sms as our atom vibrates,it loose the battery,just try to place a piece of paper in beetween body and battery in order to make battery tight intact....

Well, Atom Life has an inherent problem with battery and memory leakage. Use a ROM which has a tendency to restart and then use ur method. See if it doesn't restart then.

I had the same problem. I bought my Phone as an O2 XDA Comet with O2īs original german WM6. Changed to MWG WM6 (english), but the problem was still there. Then i found Medkidīs WM6.1 (build 19214), flashed it to my device and since then the problem has gone. This ROM is very stable and fast, itīs fantastic !!
