Hi all,
hope someone can help.
I have posted this in the Atom forum , but no answer, so thought i would try here, it could be a general issue.
I have :
O2 Atom.
rom: Current WM6 exec
did have WM5 , then upgraded to exec rom.
Problem:
For the last 6-8 months I have had problems charging the battery,
it has been the same over the last 3 different ROMS so I feel its Hardware not software , could be wrong.
When plugged in you have to wiggle the mini usb connection , to get a constant red LED.
I have tried many different chargers, and no different .
(note :Motorola are really the only ones which will work well)
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
I have replaced 3 batteries , and that is not the problem .
Now it seems I cannot get my new one to charge at all, can get phone running if plugged into the charger, but on disconnect it has no charge and lasts aprox 30 secs.
Any ideas ??
is my trusty Atom at the end of its life, or can it be fixed ?
thanks in advance ,
Andrew.

It's not a software problem,any Rom wm5 or wm6 has got nothing to do with it,ok,
It's either your USB plug connector of your charger or Mini usb port connector of your phone problem.One of them is creating this problem by not getting a proper connection between the PINS.there are five connectors in the mini usb port of your phone and the usb plug connector,below is the layout of these five connectors:-
1 <-----(Vcc)-----> 1
2 <-----(D-)------> 2
3 <-----(D+)------> 3
4 <--+ (ID) > 4
|
5 <--+--(GND)-----> 5
It's No.1 (Vcc),which supplies and charge the phone.
One of the connectors,it may be of mini usb port of your phone or usb plug of the charger,which is not getting a firm connection,that's whu you have to wiggle a bit to get it started.check out which makes a loose connection
To get it working,if it's the usb plug of the charger,get it replaced with a compatible charger,but if it's the usb mini port of the phone,than I'm afraid you'll have to get it repaired or changed.good luck

well, I have tried 5-6 different chargers, with the same result,
must be the mini usb connection in the phone ,
thanks for your reply,
will have to find some ware to fix it , or it's an excuse to upgrade ..

I would like to get a car charger that works with the O2 Exec when I am running navigational programs such as Garmin Que and TomTom. I have tried more than 5 chargers but no luck thus far.
If anyone has any to recommend, do let me know. I am located in Singapore.
i use my car charger from my gps that is the Holux 236, the only think i have to do so that it starts charging is turn it off on the button and the led will change to orange, i have tried one other charger that has a usb plug and it worked fine ! So has long as it has a usb plug you'll be alright and if you do not find one look for the Motorola car plugs that it will probably work on Uni since it has a mini usb plug
The charger from M3000 works fine with my Uni
And the Motorola Mini-USB chargers doesn't work...
Hi, I found that this issue is connected with proper usb cable not with charger itself (usb mini have 5 connector but in some cables only 4 are connected and in some other cables all 5 are connected and so are the difference). I was also trying many chargers and no luck. But I ve tryied charger with other cable and suddenly all chargers start charging my jasjar.
Anyway, the bad thing is it stops whitout any reason so now charging jasjar in my car is a real mystery for me.
regards,
Piotr
Be careful if buying one with a double USB output - I bought a few different models hoping to power both Exec and the Holux GPSlim-236, but all failed. They would power the Exec, but as soon as the Holux was connected, it would always cause the Exec to continually reboot - fortunately "soft". Make sure the supplier will take them back if it doesn't work.
Try a car charger with a USB socket on the end that takes a separate Sync/Charge cable.
The problem is, the exec is very power hungry, especially when the batt is dead !! you need a high current charger at least 1A (1 amp) the charger used with the blackberry (I forget which model) is suitable as is the genuine exec charger obviously.
use O2 Atom car charge
O2 Atom car charge will work with O2 Exec as well as A/C charger from Atom
Exec/SPV car charger...
Got an o2 branded one today for the Exec/Mini - works like a charm (Charges my SPV and runs Tt at the same time) but cost me £14.99 for the privelage!
could you post a link to the website? I would love to purchase one but am currently located in Singapore and so far all the charges don't seem to work for me.

I would love it but can you confirm that it would charge the phone while running navigational programs?
You can email me at [email protected] to discuss the price and shipping.

Car Charger for UNI - how to make working
Hi All!
I've also tryed 2 diferent car chargers and 1 USB Pluggable Car Charger (some noname chineese 3-rd party) with 3 diferent cables, and one 3-rd party AC Power Charger. They ALL worked strange.
I can confirm that to make them all work I should:
1. Switch off the Universal;
2. Plug in the chgrer in to Universal;
3. Wait until the Red Light on.
Now I may turn the Universal On, and see the "Charging" battery status.
The reason and how to fix:
As you may see I used different adapters. All they have from 0.5 to 1.0A output circuit. But, the USB ports I used with my laptops have only 0.5A output and always start charging the Universal.
So, I dont think the output power is the reason.
The most likely - it is the "5-th pin" issue, which is mentioned above here. Can somebody provide information about power connection for the Universal?
It seems the solution is about to interconnect/short circuit 2 wires in the car adapter' cable to make the Universal charging in a usual way with any of my (your) "non-working" car adapters.
Also, I've noticed, that in a case the battery level around 30% and I plug in the "non working adapter" and no red light and system not is in the "Charging" state -- the battery is charging anyway!
Also, let me remind you about another issue that the Universal have: Active Sync (older versions) would not sync (USB Device not recognized error) if you plug in the Universal if the power is On.
To workaround that you have to switch off the Universal, plug the cable and after that you could successfully sync. The same symptoms? May be the same reason?
I would advice anybody not to mess with interconnections in USB, I mean stop soldering and checking because its shortest road to bricking Your precious jasjar. It can be done with proper cable and you have to find the right one ;-)
Secondly - I found that jasjar Rom is also responsible for charging issues. As I stated earlier I finally found good usb cable but later on I lost an ability to charge Uni. in the car. After upgrading to the Aku3.2 rom it start to charge immidiatelly. Same charger and cable - one time it charge, second time it dont. So additionally to cable theres something with soft with preventing Uni. from charging.
man why is it such a complicated issue to get the universal to charge? and it seems that this charging problem only happens to the universal and not any other device, am i right?

YESSS! I Have upgraded to on of that Aku3.2 recently! May be it is the reason! But, my original Power adapter still charges my Uni so does the USB conndction to the laptop...
To ALL: Could you please confirm that you can use third-party adapters with the older ROMs?
hopefully we can get some updates soon.
Are all chargers alike?
Are all chargers the same? I would think that the USB power rating would be the same. So, I should be able to charge the Jasjar using a charger for a Motorola RAZR (if I weren't so afraid of blowing up the Jasjar)
I have a weird problem with my Note 2. Recently my phone was repaired ( changed Display and Main board)
working fine at today Afternoon, but now my phone is not charging with my Stock charger, my brothers phone charge with my Charger but my Note 2 wont. I tried his charger and it works, then I connected my phone 2 pc with the same usb cable I used in my charger, and it charge but pc cant recognize my phone, Same cable work for other phone and charger also work for other phone.
I Factory resetted my phone but not working Switch off, Battery pulled out. still not working.
Do I hv to Reflash my phone.
I'm downloading DN3_v5+ rom
I'll try this one.
But it will take around 4hrs, and what if it wont work.
Plz Guyz Help me
It sounds like your USB port on your phone is messed up. A lot of times with a bad micro usb port it will either not charge but sync data or it will not sync data but will charge. Also this goes for the actual usb cables as well. If you use a known good usb cable and it will either not charge or not sync dats on your pc, then it's most likely your usb port on your phone is bad. Even the refurbished devices sometimes will have bad ports that were not fully tested before passig QC so this is what I suspect is going on with your phone.

I've heard a bunch of people having this problem. My temporary solution was buying an additional batter w/charger for battery. But the usb flex cable I repaired myself last week. The part was $11.00 and the tools to pry apart and unscrew the phone were about $10.00. There are several tutorial videos on YouTube that guided me through the process.
Hi everyone!
When I connect my phone to the charger, it doesn't always start to charge the battery. Only about every 10th time it succeeds.
I tried 3 differnd usb cables, all original sony. It's the same with all of them.
I tried to move the cable in the phone, but it's stable. Also if it charges, I can't stopnit by moving the cable.
For me it looks like a software error, as if the phone doesn't allow to charge.
Does anyone have the same problems?
Any idea how to solve this (in best case without wiping the phone)?
Thank you in advance!
This is a recent problem or have you always had it? You think it's software so does it do it with different roms, or have you tried? I read somewhere the usb port on the phone becomes faulty easily, this seems more your cause, if your certain it's not the cable.
Not Charging as Well
My ZL is not charging as well i plug the AC charger and it gets bootloop.
It stop bootlooping after 1 hour and show the charging icon, but it does not charge.
Do you guys think it is the baterry or some issue with the power management.
I tryed to Charge the baterry with and old Universal Battery charger it hold a little power.
The Cell works when i turn it on with the wall charger but show only 1% of battery
Please guys help me with that.

I don't think it's a hardware problem. I used 3 different cables, all original sony. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. I'm using USB otg a lot (got my videos and some mp3 on a stick), never had problems with usb connection.
I didn't have those problems for a long time, but I don't remember any special apps I installed in the last few weeks.
Didn't try any custom roms yet, I'm very satisfied with my current setup (except for the charging problem ). I'm using latest stock with google crap and bloatware uninstalled.
Hopefully the lollipop update is coming soon. If it's not too buggy I will give it a try.

yeah i did that but still nothing
the battery drop sounds like a clibration problem - coupled with a possibly loose usb port? Had usb charging problems once but got it sorted out by trying to plug the usb cable into the port from "different angles" (carefully!)

You need this tool to find out which one is at fault:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...&_nkw=usb+current+and+voltage+tester&_sacat=0
Swap one by one: charger, USB cable, USB port until you find the problem. Make sure to use known working charger, cable for testing. USB port flex cable is not expensive, just around $5 to $9 on Ebay.
You should have ~ 5-->5.2 Volts, 1.5 -->1.7 Amps when charging. Anything lower than these readings, you have a problem with charger or cable or USB port.
You have to use elimination method to find out the problem as there are many unknown factors when battery is not charging.

Hi all.
i bought a lenovo K8 note and also it was working perfectly and now i have a problem in charging.
its already providing a turbo charger with this device. since before two day i connect OTG on my phone and after that when i connect charger all are showing charging over USB and its deadly slow to charge my device. it takes almost 9 to 12 hour for 0% to 100%,
i tried changed cable with new 2.4A fast cable. try with USB 3.0 Ports, Try With Wall mount Chargers 2.0 AMPS, 3.5Amps etc.
I reset the device and also i am flashed my rom with 7.1.1 (Stock ROM). nothing was helpful. still now my device showing Charging over USB while charge with any charger on battery screen. deadly slow to charge up device (almost 12 hour need to full the battery before it was 3 hour maximum time)
So anybody have the same issue. I hope our teams got a solution for this
let me know the solution please.

Been having this same issue myself, I'm too lazy to visit the service centre though, try visiting it maybe?
I am unlocked my bootloader so is that will cause loss warranty ?

I am having the same issue
I was try to change the all are like charger, cable, etc. But nothing was helpful. Basically i am a electronics tech. So I just bypass the charging Lines directly to battery with a suport of and diode.
After that it was much better (but can't see the percentage while charging)
Now I sell the product to some shop..
Now happy with asus zenphone max pro m1
In my finding i got a Final report.
It's battery response issue..
The battery have turbo identifier inside. T+ t- mark ups. (I removed back cover and checked all)
You can see the turbo controller in battery.
Maybe if you are in warranty quickly visit services center and ask for battery replacement.
Have a good time ahead.
Admins This thread is now resolved my self. So please close this with my solution.
Thanks.
