Hi

I'll try to explain my situation.

I have an Imate PDA2k that I wanted to revive.

I bought an extended battery from ebay (item number 360240003003)

When the battery arrived, I placed it in the phone and tried to charge it. Nothing happened. The phone's led did not turn orange or green.

I figured maybe because the battery is over 2x the capacity of the original, the phone may not be able to charge it.

Ok no problem, I'll stick the battery on the separate battery charger.

The light turns on (indicating that it is charging).

After the battery was charged, I put it back in the phone and the phone turns on. Problem is the battery meter does not measure how much power is left and automatically turns off the screen within 30 seconds regardless of the settings i put in.

I've tried increasing the time to turn off the screen to 5 minutes, nothing.

I've tried reflashing the phone with different versions of WM, (I tried wm2003, wm6.1, wm6.5) nothing.

I even tried Qtopia linux. That one did not recognize the battery but it did obey it's own configuration regarding when to dim and turn off the screen. (Then again it locks up after a few hours which is a problem for a different discussion)

So my question / request is: Is there a battdrvr.dll or battery.dll that can report to windows mobile that the battery is full?

At this point, I really don't care if the report is accurate as long as windows doesn't turn off the screen after 30 seconds. I'd be satisfied if the battery reported 100% all the time (hard coded in there).

Thanks in advance,

anubis_2003
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
Unfortunately, if Windows believes it is about to run out of juice, it will turn off, regardless of how much charge you believe your battery has. My advice to you would be to return the battery since it obviously has an issue (my guess is that whoever made it, didn't follow the pin out diagram properly :))

Good luck!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
and the capacity of the battery should not matter to the charger. i use a 3600mah battery that charges just fine (except that it doesn't go in the cradle, neither front, nor back, because it is too thick)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] anubis_2003:
Thank you for the replies folks.

I've had the battery for too long, so I can't return it (been stubburn trying to figure it out)

Is there a way to hard code a value in the battdrvr.dll file? So that way I could break the battery meter in essence and hard code a value to satisfy windows (i don't care if the power runs out without warning at this point)?

anubis_2003
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
Not to my knowledge... I don't know if Chef may have something to add, but rather than messing with drivers, I would simply buy a new one off eBay (much simpler fix). Keep in mind that if it isn't wired properly, it might end up damaging your BA... personally, I wouldn't risk it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
let's assume messing with the drivers would be possible and maybe even easy and you could disable the battery meter and set a permanent number, these are the two outcomes:

1. you'd set the permanent number to 100, device would never switch off (achieved), but it would also never charge! every time you want to charge the battery, you'd have to switch off the device and take out the battery for external charging.

2. you'd set the permanent number to 99, it would never stop charging and so the battery would heat up (remember it is not an original one, even higher risk) and after some time, it could explode! remember the apple battery issues? where users reported, their phones and notebooks would never report a full battery, so it kept charging until it actually exploded, not just breaking the battery (of course) but also the device.

i would agree with egzthunder, that your best choice is buying another battery.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
Wow! I personally didn't even think about all that! But Chef is absolutely right, the battery can explode if you charge it beyond its limits.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] anubis_2003:
Well that's exactly what I'm doing now. The phone doesn't charge the battery anyway. I have to pull the battery out of the phone every 4 days to charge it overnight in a separate charger. So option #1 would be ideal for me.:D:D

Don't suppose you have any hints on how I could do that?

Although you're right about the 99% scenario. Indeed it would try to charge it past its actual limit.

i and my wife have G1's. i got mine first, april of 2009, and is the bronze model. i got hers from a friend about a month ago. i do not know when hers was originally purshased. hers is a G1 black.

ok, around july of 2009 i rooted mine and have used umpteen different versions of cyan roms and others. i have always has crappy signal strength with t-mockery here. at home i'm lucky to have any signal and at most 2 bars for a short period of time. after i got hers and rooted it, i noticed she and i can be sitting side by side, and her have 2-4 bars, me with none. we have the same rom, radio, spl, recovery, etc. does anyone know of certain G1's just simply having crappy reception? is this a specific hardware issue meaning i need to replace a specific part?

also, if my phone goes into sleep mode or if i put it into sleep mode with the red buton, and immediately re-wake it, the screen is dark. i have to put it to sleep again and re-wake it for it to be bright. this is regardless what brightness level i have my phone set to. hers does not EVER do that. i cant really define weather it is actual brightness or screen contrast that is the issue, but it is darker.

anyone familiar with these issues with specific G1's? i have googled and searched xda with every serch phrase i can think of and have not found one article or post with similar circumstances.

thank you for any assistance you guys may be able to provide.

i forgot:

cyan 4.2.15.1

2_22_19_26I

danger spl

cyan v1.4 +jf recovery
[G1 General] bunu:
First update your recovery to the latest Amon_RA recovery for g1, (more features and much more stable) then go and find the latest radio for the g1 (2.22.23.02). Just flash it, you don't have to worry about changing SPL's.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640535 (radio)

The radio should give you a boost in signal. I went from 1-2 bars of 3G to 3-4 bars of 3G.

If you find the time, make a complete backup of your apps and settings using titanium backup, do a complete wipe and repair ext, then go to the latest Super D. I doubt Cyanogen is going to update is ROMs because now the Nexus One's development is going full speed.

Now lets see of the g1 has any more problems. Do the same things your wife's g1 because she should see a huge improvement too.
[G1 General] jsp254:
LOL. funny. i just did the amon ra and latest radio update, and just before turning off my browser, i went back to this thread and reloaded to see your post. too funny.

i cant tell any gains in signal strength with this latest radio. only time will tell i guess. i'll give it a few days before posting any opinions on the radio.

however, the amon ra is awesome. so much better!!! i'm not familiar with any of it's features yet other than the nandroid backup, wich was present in the cyan version. i do like that i can choose with backup to revert to now!

i saw something about titanium and bart in another thread. i will familiarize myself with them tomorrow.

have you ever heard of this screen dark coming out of sleep thing? that has pestered the life out of me since i got this phone. it was the first thing i noticed different about hers. i have tried a bluezillion times to get her to duplicate this and cant. it's crazy.

i see youre in columbus ga. awesome. i spent some time in ft.benning what seems like a thousand years ago.

thanks for your quick response!
[G1 General] el_smurfo:
His Twitter feed says he's about to release a 4.4 version soon. If you're having issues with performance/stability, it makes sense to use the most conservative, functional ROM you can find.
[G1 General] jsp254:
well, i have now installed cyan 5.0.7. hella faster!!! this is by far the fastest and most reliable ROM i have installed!!! battery drain sucks, but i can deal with that for now. the radio mentioned above did help signal strength some, but not a lot. i have more bars where i used to have just a few, and here at home i get signal more often, but it's still not great.

the screen thing still happens. i cant figure it out. it has done this since the day i got the phone. i just thought it was a g1/htc/android thing. i didnt realize that all of the other g1's did not do this until i got my wife's phone. i still cant find anything similar reported anywhere. i have googled every term i can think of. i dont know if it's a programming issue, hardware issue, or an issue specific to a few phones produced in a certain lot. hell, i may be the only one in the world with this problem!!!!

i have come up with a simple solution though. my wife never uses the physical keyboard. it's "too hard to type on" she says. so, i am now looking for an htc touch for her, then i by default, get her g1. LOL.

never-the-less, if anyone has ever heard of this type of screen darkening issue, please post something. it's a pain in the butt.
[HD2 General] llucas:
Before resseting my HD2 I had problems downloading QuickGPS data. As a matter of fact I was having problem downloading all kinds of data. Some only worked as GSM data, some only in WI FI and etc.

After resset the phone, it's all ok again. Data downloads in GPRS, GSM, WI FI, ACTIVE SYNC and etc.

QuickGPS still don't work. It conects, downloads, and after it's 100% it gives an error messaging "conection failed, please try again later".

Anyone has a solution for this ?

Hi2All!

As subject says,is there (on the market)any solution for Qtek 9090 alternative wired headset,(coz original died)..or stereo bluetooth headset,but in both cases,(beside mp3 listening),microphone must B working..with all call/reply functions..

Cheers!

btw,yes..I do a search,but there is a lot of stuff from few years ago..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] Chef_Tony:
hi and welcome to the forum.

in fact, we had a headset and storage card discussion yesterday.

afaik there is no fully working alternative wired handsfree. some nokia headsets also have 2.5mm plugs, but with another connector layout (that's what's to be found in the older threads).

if you don't find a replacement original handsfree you can also use stereo bluetooth handsfrees over the a2dp standard. for that, your rom must support a2dp of course. i use a callstel bh19, which is great. it looks like a normal mono headset (candybar layout, no stupid receivers flapping around or hanging around the neck) and you can plug in a 2nd earphone, which comes with it and provides full bluetooth 2.0 a2dp with edr (much more, than the blueangel is capable of unfortunately). sorry, i can only provide a german link:

http://www.pearl.de/a-HPM3478-8909.shtml

and yes, it actually cost 3.90eur once, but now it's back to 30.

alternatively, i hear good things about jabra handsfrees in a certain price range >70eur are really good.

RE:

Chef_Tony,10xaLOT,great forum.

Sounds interesting,Im just thinking about some BT hands3 model,but link U provided is the right stuff!

Yep,unfortunateluy,9090 is BT1.1 capable:(

Nevertheless,just asked google translate for help..all stuff is bright :)

That'll B a high point,for travelers like me.BT headset are like a charm..I like it.Therefore,I must find appropriate cooked(or baked) WM with integrated a2dp support.I hope,thing will work.

[HD2 General] jain75:
Be aware of this guy DIVGUE! He is a SCAM!! He bothers me for two days texting me as early as 5am saying he wants the phone please dont sell, as he's waiting for the money. We make a deal after going back and fourth on text messages. He tells me a few hours later he's not buying because he bought it locally at walmart. WHAT A PATHETIC JERK!! I ^&%^ wasted my time taking pix to send him just for him to take this whole thing as a JOKE! I lost out on another potential deal because this idiot agreed on buying it. BE AWARE of this LOSER!!!
[HD2 General] dvigue:
I really don't know what to say about this. Did I talk with him about buying his phone yes, did we talk back and fourth all day about it? yes. Isn't that what craigslist is all about? bartering, making deals etc? it was at the last moment when i found out a local walmart had one HD2 left at the same price he was selling it at, and i had a gift card so it was even cheaper, and it was 5 min from my house (for returns etc) so that is why i backed out. I am in no way a "scammer" because of this. sorry, im not.

I apologized multiple times, and he wont accept, so there is no more that I can do. I even tried a few contacts to see if they would buy it from him. I cant do any more....i have nothing bad to say about him

on a positive, Jain75 was Very good with communication, and answered all my questions i had about the sale. he did take multiple pictures for me like i had asked. I had asked for all of that, because i was sending someone 450 dollars whom i did not know, so i wanted all the proof that the phone was legit that i could get. and he did give that all to me.

again, i feel really bad, but what else can i do? i have had MANY MANY people say "yeah ill buy that, let me get back to you" and i never hear back. at least i told him the truth,......

There is a tutorial in the wiki on how to do it but it is kind of old. I will try to upload my folder with QTopia later today. To use, simply put everything in a clean SD card and run HaRet. As far as the benefits of using Linux... at this point... not many. The development for this slowed down/stopped a while back, so there has not been much progress on it. Aside from being able to say "I am running a Linux build on my BA" there isn't a whole lot you can do with it (however, it is fun to play with it for a while). I hope this answers your question.

Thats not ONLY for unrooting, but it has the steps there to get back to 100% stock and unroot.

As far as I know, there isn't really a way of knowing if you NEED to flash an updated radio, but there's no harm in trying the ones available, and seeing if you notice any difference in them.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemIdleProcess:
Before updating your radio make sure it's for CDMA and not GSM. Before I knew what I was doing with my phone I applied a GSM radio update and bricked my phone.

If you are running a 1.5 based ROM there really isn't a need to update the radio.

pankcake 2.1 is a 2.1 ROM. Check the Baseband version under Setting->About Phone->Software Information to see what version you are running after you flash pancake 2.1. If you would like to upgrade check out "Radios" section on the CDMA Hero ROMs at

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemIdleProcess:
You can't unbrick all you can do is replace. I was able to get a replacement phone when I bricked my phone by applying a GSM radio update by mistake.

If you apply a CDMA radio update from the Radios section on the CDMA Hero ROMs wiki page then you should be good. Follow the instructions on the Geek For Me FAQ. Flipz knows his stuff.

As with any update I recommend doing a nandroid backup before you apply it just in case the update has undesired affects.

I'm currently running 2.42.00.03.10 on Fresh 2.0d with no issue.

Good luck! :)
