Spontaneous turnoff kaiser

I have a problem with some spontaneus turn off of the kaiser.
I have bought a second battery (dynapac), so I change it about one time a day. After one week, my kaiser start to have spontaneous turn off without other symptom. After some times, I look the connection under the cover battery. The battery didnt touch the two flap connections . I have lifted this to flap and now seems all okai.
So I think that the connection on the right of the battery (the main connection)... must work in connection with the two flap (that touch the steel battery rear).
is it possible?
Thanks in advance
stefano

maybe I'm not been clear? sorry for my bad english
Anyone has had a similiar issue?
tnx
stefano

That happened to my brother, not really sure how it did though. One thing you may check is that your SIM card is seated properly, and that the door is closed and locked all the way. If that SIM door pops open it'll reset the phone.

tnx for your reply... seems the issue was the flap connections that doesnt touch the steel side of the battery.
So... I think without this connection the power failure.
possible?
bye

Shuts off when keyboard is slammed shut...

This is really bugging me but on occasion, when I slam the keyboard shut, the phone turns off. It also has happened when I opened the keyboard but only a few times.
I actually dissassembled the phone to see if maybe it was a loose connection somewhere. I did find that the keyboard ribbon cable was loosely connected so I reseated it firmly...but the problem didn't go away.
I also thought it may be either the SIMM card or the memory card contacts but after removing them, again, I still can reproduce the problem.
Understand that this is an intermittent problem and a little unpredictable but I can make it happen within a few tries. If I cautiously open and close the keyboard (without slamming it shut), I have no problems.
I don't believe it's software related because I can force it to happen when the device is booting up (with the Ericsson logo on the screen) before the OS loads.
Anyone else experiencing this?????
11/17/08 UPDATE: PROBLEM RESOLVED!
After further review and testing, it appears that the battery was losing connection to the battery contacts. I shoved a small crumb of paper folded up (about 1mm thick) at the back of the batt and the problem has gone away. Of course, I'm still holding my breath every time I open and close the keyboard but it looks like that may have been the problem. That's strange because I'm using the original battery. Thought this may help in case anyone else ever runs into this.

That sounds like a problem with the internals, maybe a you should get it replaced/repaired?

Kid says to doctor " IT hurts when I twist my arm backward like this." Doctor replies "then don't do that"
You say "my phone shuts off when I slam my keyboard shut" Doctor says "don't slam your keyboard shut"
this thought just made me laugh.
Seriously though. It does sound like an internal hardware issue that you should have fixed otherwise it may just get worse and start happening more regularly and at very inconvenient times.
Good luck.

Reminds me of my samsung slider phone the day that it died. I was sliding it back and forth.. sometimes the screen would go completely white and then come back.
By the end of the day, it went white and stayed that way.
Turns out the cable on the inside was slowly being cut from rubbing against the metal hole it was going thru every time the slider moved.
You've checked the cables before... but maybe its not cut yet, but something on the slider mechanism is hitting a wire/pulling on it.
Nobody knows.
But we all do know thats not normal. So yea get it replaced.

LOL!

Yep...It's going back. Might as well get a fresh one. I know this problem existed for other phones before and the fix was mostly something simple that didn't require a replacement.

im getting exactly the same problem. gonna send mine back as well.

i have the exact same problem too! Waiting for a new one...
i thought i was the only one with this problem, but it looks like a production error as there are already 3 people on this board who have this defect.

yep, my problem seems to have gone now as well by using you're method. i was almost ready to send it back and then i saw you're post and tried your method and it worked !

Thats a pretty stupid mistake by SE...
They should do a quick fix by making new batters a smidge thicker. Of course they probably wouldn't offer free replacements, but they should fix it anyway.

Where did you place the paper exactly ? On the back of the battery where all the info text is or on the bottom ?
When my device is cold, eg in the morning for first use, this sometimes doesnt happen for >20x tries...but when i used it for a longer time and it almost always shuts down when slammed shut..but i already thought it might be something with the battery, but sometimes while slamming it shut for numerous times even the battery cover would come up and it didnt shut down...then in another situation it shuts down immediatly

Poor design...

Yea...what I found with the design is that the ribbon cable connecting the keyboard sits right under the battery. In fact you can see the protrusion when you remove the battery under the white label. It moves when the keyboard is opened and closed. Slightly...but it does move.
...anyway...I folded a small piece of paper to wrap around the back edge of the battery.
Try this:
1. Make a small rectangular strip of paper about 10mm x 20mm and fold it the long way so you end up with a 5mm x 20mm piece.
2. Wrap it around the back/bottom edge of the battery as you reinsert it.
(If the battery fits more snug in its compartment, you got it right!)
3. Put the back cover back on--which should also be more snug.
4. Turn on the device and try it out (slam the keyboard).
(You don't have to wait for it to completely boot up...you can test it when the SE logo appears).
Be careful to use regular copy paper and not paper that's too thick as it may cause some other damage/problems with the device.

could you make a picture of that ?
Actually i will recieve a new device tomorrow, but i still have the feeling that this problem might reoccur as it seems to be a design flaw

I'm currently playing around with an old XV6800 I got off ebay, and this seems to have fixed the problem, so thanks

I had the same problem too.. but it was linked with the flex cable. Now i just don't use my keyboard even after fixing it.

Google car dock no longer charging my Nexus

Sound/music goes through it fine, the bluetooth is good but its not charging even though the indicator says it is.
I thought this could have been because I had Pandora steaming but even with it off (No GPS) it would still not charge.
I tried the cable by directly connecting it to my N1 and its charging perfectly ( I even enabled Navigation and it was still charging it).
What do you guys think could be the problem? It was working fine before. I am not sure if this started happening after I installed Froyo.

are you putting it in the dock after you start your car? i have had issues with the order in which i do things...

Yeah I am. What issues did you have and how'd you fix it?

if i had the phone in before i started the car it didnt sync up right...
check the pins and make sure they are all working right, and by that i mean none of them are stuck since they are like springy

Do you have a skin/case or anyhting on your phone?
I had an issue with the desktop dock (and have seen other people confirm very similar) where I dropped my phone a very short distance to the floor then it wouldn't charge in the dock (but it knew it was in the dock as the dock app would launch).
Couple hours later, just by chance, I felt the tiniest "edge" on the back of my phone. Just below the battery cover and below the off colored "band" (where they engrave the phone if you choose to have that done) on the dark colored part that says "htc" on it. Tho it was not even really noticable, this piece (with the htc on it) had snapped out just a hair. I put the smallest amount of pressure on it and it literally clicked back into place. Couldn't see it move, only feel and hear it. After doing that my phone immediately charged again when putting it in dock and every time since.
I've also seen people say they put a sticker on the back of their phone on that same area and had exact same issue until they took it back off. Doesn't seem like it would be enough, but, at least the desktop dock, appears to be touchy enough where this tiny bit made all the difference.

I've come with similar issue after froyo update. in my case, whenever I synced the bluetooth to stream audio and then proceeded to dock it into the desktop dock it will not charge at "ac adapter"speed, I will only charge at"usb speed". So, depending on my usage while docked, it might or might not charge at all. The only solution I found afte much tinkering was to disconnect any bluetooth connection, dock the phone, then reconnect the bluetooth with whatever device. I hope this helps. And hope this issue doesn't get into the final froyo release.

Borked my speaker when changing USB socket

Hi guys, hoping someone can help me.
The title says it all really, but I'll describe exactly what happened. Last Friday my dearly cherished Note finally stopped charging completely, after kicking up a few issues for a week or so. I ordered a replacement USB strip and battery (I was getting screen flicker problems on low battery, and research said battery issue, so why not) and when they arrived I replaced the USB, charged the new battery and flashed an updated ROM.
The phone immediately started getting really hot up towards the top, where I'm led to believe the CPU is, but I assumed this was just because I was flashing then immediately restoring apps with TB, so I let it calm itself down and rest for a bit, and no more super heating.
At some point during this whole process by speaker went kaput, except it's not the speaker itself because I've just replaced that and still borked.
Can anyone suggest what it might be and how I might fix it? Thanks in advance!
Edit:
Also, I've tried the same build that I was using before the replacement, and other ROMs too

Headphones is fine. I'll try reseating the cable shortly. Really hope that's it. It's it possible to attach it wrong? If so I really should have checked that first!

Nope. Ribbon's seated fine. Maybe I've been sold a duff USB strip. Anyone got any other ideas apart from that?

I've no idea bud. My phone had the USB problem too. Did what you did and was ok. Like I said the only thing I saw when doing it is the ribbons. Check them all. Not just the one to the USB board. You may of knocked one and they are sensitive mothers...

Another issue, I think is related. My signal is a bit iffy. At home where my g/f has perfect connection with a crappy Alcatel (without even capacitive screen!), I get a VERY choppy connection. 3/4 in one place, 0 a couple of feet away. Am I right in thinking that the cable connected to the USB strip is something to do with the aerial?

[Q] Cover/case plug falling out

Hey all,
My z3's plug that goes over the micro usb port (charging) and micro sd card slot continually pops off. This was not happening during my first couple of weeks with the phone but I've noticed since this morning that it just comes of by itself. It seems like the bottom is fairly secure but the top of the plug comes loose very easily then the rest just falls out. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone have a suggestion of what to do about it? I don't plan to use the waterproof feature a lot but it would be annoying to lose it. Also, I know I could probably get a case that would help hold it in but I feel like I shouldn't have to do anything like that when the phone is only 2 weeks old..
Cheers!

In case anyone find this and wants some responses, I have found the following thread:

There are loads of threads about this issue already...
