As in the title, it will not charge through the power cable. (i have tried 2)
I can only charge the battery through the cradle in the AUX battery slot, and O2 say it will take 3 weeks to fix.
Any ideas?
well, if you put the plug in the wrong way around it will not charge.
:?: Hello. I was wondering if anybody has had same problem as i have.
I work on my xdaIIs a fair bit away from home and as a result i need to recharge it every now and then. I have a usb charger cable that i use to charge it using other computers and also via a usb car charger pluggy thingy sorry cant remember name :lol:
The problem i have is that while i am charging my xdaIIs using this method the battery power starts running DOWN as if the power is being drained!!! The device is definately telling me its being recharged.
Please help... I have no idea what is going on???!!!
THANKYOU in advance. 8) :?
Depends what you are using to charge I had the same problem with a mini sync cable I bought sync'd fine but didnt charge but that because it was designed for an XDA not an XDA2 bought a new one from boxwave and its fine.
But certainly if your device is sufficiently drained it will be pulling more power that your PC's USB slot will be willing to give it so you could be running into that.

I would guess that the charger doesn't supply sufficient current to actually charge the unit. I say this, because I have seen exactly the same thing (= orange light on and the battery power level decreasing fast) when I built my custom charger for XDAII. XDAII is very "picky" and needs a lot of power to charge and the "USB car charger", as you described it, probably can't supply enough.
Thanks for the reply guys.
It used to work when i first bought it but now doesnt.
Any ideas on what i could purchase that WOULD work??
I have had a similiar problem with a similiar charging setup, but mine charges fine as long as the battery level does not fall too low, if it gets below about 30% then it seems to decharge instead of charge... its really strange.
Cigarrete adaptor charger Draining mine too..
I had a Ipaq 2210 installed in the handle bars of my bike with a Holux BT GPS, recently after breaking 2 of them( IPAQS) I've replaced with a XDA IIs, I had a cigarrete adaptor for the IPAQs and another for powering the speakers... as now i can't use the speakers (due to the horrible 2.5 jack)I've modified the supplied connector for charging without the craddle to fit the connector for the speakers...
I realized from time to time the XDA turned it self off... and last travel it just died with the orange led on and battery 0%....
However first time I've used it was a 700km trip (paris - switzerland) and that time had no pbm (once or twice it turned off but that was all)
I've noticed that the supplied wall power adaptor is a 2Amp one... which looks like enourmous to me... but i tought that cigarrete adaptors were not amperage limited (but for your battery and generator/alternator)
One think I havent tried is to cut the Ipaq's one and fit the connector there... as the Ipaq uses the same wall power thing perhaps the cigarrete adaptor will be the same too....
Please any advice for me ??
I would also like to mod the suppplied connector into a usb stand alone sync cable (pls advise on it too....)
Also i would like to fit an Ipaq IR led onto the XDA to use it as remote for my digital rebel camera.... (advice again?)
Thanks in advance

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.

Yes it does.I have TOM TOM navigation and IGO that i use.I have a 3800 Li-Ion battery.I plugged it in to see if it worked and it does.Has a green light and all.I will email you tmw.As i have just got done with a long day of data entry for work.FYI
Whatever you are doing with the phone,it charges while its plugged in.

sounds great. I have gotten your email and replied. Hope we can come to a decision soon and I can get my hands on the charger.
if anyone else has any for sale, do let me know as well.
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)
Hi All
Since 2 days ago my cradle stopped charging via the mains. It charges the battery separately in the back and It syncs fine but nothing happens when I plug the mains in. However it does charge the XDA when it is sync'd and in the car
any ideas???
The XDA i have is a XDA iis (blueangel PH20B) with my cradle (desktop stand)it charges either with mains adaptor or will charge via the usb cable without the mains connected. What XDA do you have also what is the cradle part no.
I have the XDA II (Himalayer PH10B).
I don't get why it will sync & charge and mains charge the battery separately but won't mains charge in the cradle.
it sounds like a fault with the cradle, if you can check it against another one
maybe a friend has got one if not ask at the phone shops,see if anyone has got one in and get them to check it for you.
my xda2 cradle had a pretty poor connector
sometimes it would sync and charge something not
(was a bit of an issue in the middle of a flash :S)
changed to my old xda1 cradle and no problems
no car charging either
update:
I don't think its the cradle after all as its not charging in the car now either but the wired sat nav is still working.
could it be a lose connection in the XDA itself?
hi friends
i have o2 xda orbit
i have no original charger
but i use a converter pin which is nokia to motorola/lg
i plug it to set and then plug nokia charger in it
it was going ok from abt two months but one day accidentally i have inserted ZTE CDMA sets charger having 12 volts to that pin.
set displayed charging for a moment and then stopped charging
i have not noticed it, and it remained in for abt an hour.
set was ok.
but when i tried to insert nokia pin set displaed charging for while and then stopped charging
same condition from pc.
now i m in trouble
any body to help me.
Hi
I have looked at my charger and the output on this is 5v. If you have put 12 through then i expect the charging circuit to have fried.
Sorry for the bad news . Is the phone still under warranty if so see if you can take it back.
Cheers Dave
nop

i got it in pakistan, used without warranty
