karpar 1 Report post Posted August 7, 2004 Hi guys! I'm back...My modem wasn't working for about a month so I had to swear off the internet for so many days! Anyway, this thread is to try and get some help for my problem... The phone seems to get switched off by itself all of a sudden for no apparent reason, has any of you experienced this problem? This has happened to me thrice over a span of two weeks. Though the frequency is not much, the problem persists... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has happened to me thrice over a span of two weeks. Though the frequency is not much, the problem persists... yeh, something similar used to happen to my phone. it seems that it's a battery problem. even though the phone shows full -battery signal, the battery is not fully charged, infact , it might be totally empty!! so what i did was that i recharged the battery (after cleaning its contacts) without the phone. since then my phone's working fine!

raccoon 53 Report post Posted August 7, 2004 I dont quite understand the logic of charging the battrey w/o the phone ...I mean it should charge with or without it ...ya it might charge a bit faster maybe; but otherwise what difference would it make? Anyway, a friend of mine is just having the same problem with his Motrola GSM (C200) - he dropped it a few times ...and since the last time he dropped it, it just switches itself off at its own sweet will) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mahidhar 3 Report post Posted August 7, 2004 when ur cleaning the battery contacts, be sure to use a little alcohol - actually deo spray would be just fine. spray some onto a paper and clean the contacts when the paper is still wet - it'll definately help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmi 3 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 Well the probelem is with the cell design.When they made it they made it quite flexible and there is some gap between the phone back where they have the sticker with some bar code and the battery .When some pressure is applied on the batery somewhere Just below the clip with arrow pointing upwards on the battery the battery bends and contacts stop touching the battery. Atleast this is the problem i had after i dropped it a few times. The best soultion to avoid it is to fold a peice of paper place it betwwen ur phone and battery make sure its not too thick and make sure u dont block the contacts with the paper. Hope this post solves ur problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karpar 1 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 Now that raccoon mentioned it, I remember that my brother had recently dropped the cell twice! So that could be the reason after all... Anyway, it isn't all that frequent, so I'll let it pass for some time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bhuppy 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2004 Hi, It is a battery problem. It happens with me when I replaced RD2030 battery from the cheap new battery. If I install the old battery in phone set, it works fine. With the new local battery still it gives this sudden auto switched-off problem once or twice in a week. Why I thought of changing the old battery, was its color dullness. I bought it for Rs.300/=. Bhuppy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted August 10, 2004 Emmi, what you mean by saying "quite flexible" seems to be that you are reffering to excessive "tolerance" or "play" between the phone body and the battery. I too have this problem in my RD2030 (with orignal battery and all)- the left side edge between the battery and the phone dosent fit too well and creates an irritating creaking sound when you use the keypad. I had complained about this to the LG service centre, but they say they simply dont have a solution! Just shows what LG thinks of quality!!! However, Iv never had problem about my phone switching off automatically! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
