Which ROM are you using?
Check settings/connections/USB to PC and make sure to check the box for "enable charging over USB"
I need to clarify more for my dash's problem.
When I use the wall charger my Dash could not be charged, samething with USB connect to PC. But sync to PC I have no problem at all.
my ROM version is 1.11.531.1
Cheap workaround

Try changing your rom or if that fails you could order the Dash Dock for PC with the extra battery charger. THis is a cheap workaround if your dash is not still under warranty. I saw a dash dock w/ battery and a car charger for 18$ the other day on AMAZON

Now I cannot sync with PC anymore (try ur suggestion to changing ROM). Any help to update ROM by micro SD card ?

go to the last panel "settings" scroll left or right till you see, "USB to PC" click on it and remove the first check mark.
plug your phone back into the usb cord.
If I unmark that noway it will be connected to USB port. I did try and no luck
Did you try a new battery?
It seems from most of your past posts you are full of bad luck with phones. If you replaced your LCD screen recently, then you might want to be sure you installed it and all other functioning parts correctly. I believe there is a youtube post floating around that tells you exactly how that should be done.
That might be a reason it's not charging but any feedback helps right?
I agree with the above. As an electrically minded individual, I must say, that you either don't have something connected correctly, OR you are grounding out your system and there is no way to charge this. If you have grounded out your system. Check your internal electrical connections. This is what I do for a living. TRUST ME
Would you give me more details how
I read all of your posts and it appeared that I am at fault for fixing my own phone. Either I have a bad luck or I don't have enough skills to fix my Dash, at least I tried my best and also that the reason I came here for help. Please either help, advise, suggest but if you offer no help just be quiet instead of telling me that I am stupid. I may not know much about the phone likes the last 2 guys but I am willing to learn from your guys.
i am getting an error message saying "USB device not recognized. One of the USB devices connected to this CPU has malfunctioned and windows cannot recognize it"
when i plug the phone in to the usb plug the charge light comes on for a sec, then i get that message and then the light goes off. I feel as thought i may have damaged the mini usb port (the cable is a snugger fit now) on my phone due to a drop, but it still charges thru the wall and has worked since the drop on the cpu, but now i am getting that message.
Help!
Are you having trouble making phone calls? I had this issue one time in my hermes, and its a brick now!
No, phone functionality seems fine...data and calls.
btw, the light also comes back on after the phone goes to standby.
Change the USB cable and see if it fixes it! If not, it might that the pins are getting a bit worn out in the phone.
don't have another cable to test right now, but the same cable works for another phone. not sure if that proves anything, but it's all i know for now

Have you reboot your phone and your pC?
mine doing the same thing. thats why I looked at the tread hopeing someone would have an answer. I guess not.
MS6 software, windows vista ultimate.

Yes. From past experience with various charging issues with different Hermes before (car chargers not able to charge unless powered off, then rebooting plugged in to keep the charge going), finicky usb cables, etc. ), I know that the hermes can be funny with charging/syncing to begin with. But since i had dropped it and it landed right on the port and bent it a tad, it really feels like something got damaged a bit. Not enough to eliminate the charging from working, but enough to give me problems....like this.
Example, i have never had this problem in the wall before, just mainly in the car, and even then it's usually when the battery is very low: When i plugged the phone into the wall last night, it wouldn't charge right away. once it went to sleep mode it started charging, but i i power it up the charge light goes off.
try
HKCU\ControlPanel\Comm\Cnct = `57600 Default (string)
to

it work for me
thank you for the tip, but no luck still
in the "USB to PC" under your system settings, the box to "enable advanced network functionality" sould be checked by default, uncheck that box and you should be able to connect and sync through usb with no problem
I've done that...it feels like a hardware problem, but since the port works kind of it's hard to call it a hardware issue. techs i've talked to have said if it works at all then it must be software related
Anyone else having this problem. When I have my TMOUS TP2 hooked up to USB I keep getting told it's not getting enough power to charge.
Interesting. Is the USB plugged into a USB hub or straight into a computer? I can charge mine via USB when its straight into the computer. I'll try with hub a second to see if there is a difference.
Edit-
No, I cant. When plugged into a 4-port USB hub, I also cannot charge. I'm using some generic nonsense hub, dunno if a higher quality one (or one that also plugs into the wall for juice) might make a difference
Yes!
Many laptops are not powerful enough to charge the TP2. Also many hubs will divide the power between the ports.
A standard USB port will give you about 1A and the above mentioned gives you typically less than 1/2A.
Putting TP2 in standby will help if on a weak port, but that makes no sense, cause then you can use the charger.
It's directly in to my PC.. weird.
I got the "not enough power" USB warning when plugged into my laptop...but not right away -- it had been plugged in for 30-60 minutes or so.
I have not received that warning when plugged into the USB port of a full-power-desktop PC, even when plugged in for hours.
I try to remember to bring the ac adapter that came with my TP2 when I'm going to be away from home for a while so I don't have to depend on USB-power from a computer.
I charged off a 0.5A power source (the most you'll get out of a standard USB port), but the device was turned off. Took about 3.5 hours to fully charge it.
Did you have anything like wifi, gps, etc turned on at the time?
how much power is left on the phone? IIRC, if its too low, your phone will not charge through USB & you need the AC adapter.
There are "powered" and "unpowered" USB ports. The "unpowered" ones just basically carry enough current to carry signals, but not actually power a device. The "powered" ones carry enough current to charge a device.
Many laptops are "unpowered" ports, although I think that trend is changing. Most desktops I would assume are "powered".
I personally only power my phone on one of two official chargers I have, although if I'm in the car I'll use a third party adaptor there.
I don't know if the TP2 is any different than the Tilt in regards to charging, but I'd assume very similar.... Perhaps I'll have the TP2 soon, I've finally gotten ATT to let me have an early upgrade but haven't found the actual phone yet.
I have a 5v 1A car charger. When in the car if I am using Pocket Player, and my GPS program at the same time I will get the message that:
"there is not enough current to properly charge the device. Please should shut down unneeded programs." or something like that...
And sure enough, my phone will die if left like this. It won't charge, even though it shows that it is... curious.
Could it be the cable is not allowing enough current? I am using an older cable in the car, as I have my TP2 supplied cable on my computer....I am going to try swapping these 2 cables tomorrow and see what happens.
I've had my Sprint TP2 for 12 days now and experienced this problem once. I was plugged directly to my PC via the USB port. I believe my battery was at about 30% so I disconnected it and used the travel charger for awhile and plugged it back into the PC USB port. So far that's the only time it's happened.
Might be the cable!

Hello,
I had exactly the same problem and found out it WAS the USB cable - the one used couldn't offer more than 300mA to the phone, even if connected to orriginal HTC AC adapter. After changing the cable, the 1A car charger gives the same mA as the AC adapter (checked with nuePower - http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nuePowernueBattery.aspx)

Thanks for the info.. I haven't driven anywhere since I posted that! I will be in the next day or so... glad to know the answer is simple.
I too, just downloaded the NuePower program. Will be installing this as well. Did you by chance have the chainfire 1% battery cab installed? If so, did you unistall it first? Wondering if there will be a conflict between the 2.

Hi,
Yes, I have chainfire's cab, I didn't uninstall it before installing NuePower (btw, I have tried once to uninstall it and after a soft reset, the 1% info was still there). the only bug I saw was when pressing the OK button in NuePower - sometimes phone hungs or runs very very slowly. Best is to use it only to test the cables and uninstall it. and don't press OK button, just minimize it with End Key or do a soft reset if handy.
Mine does the same thing lol
I get the same thing, i think they should make these devices use even more power.
Don't know if will help, but last night I was in my car using Live Search for GPS purposes. The battery was low on the phone, so I plugged it in. The phone told me that the source was not strong enough to charge the phone and to try shutting down some apps. I assumed that it was because the GPS was still active, although I really don't know because I didn't bother testing that theory, as I was just around the corner from my house. (No jokes about using the GPS to get home, please. )
Anyway, when I got home, I plugged into my laptop (which was running on AC power) using the cable that came with my XV6800. Note that the cable is always connected to my laptop via a cheap USB hub. I experienced no problems.
Hi guys, I have this VERY STRANGE issue with my Gum Pro and my SGSII. If you don't know what I'm talking about the Gum Pro is basically a larger battery (4400 mAh) that you can use on the go to charge the battery of your device as it was charging with its own charger.
Ok..I always used it with any device I had. Cellphone, MP3 or whatever else neede to be charged when I wasn't home or hadn't any plug available....
Today I got the SGSII in exchange for my HTC Sensation and a while ago I neede to charge it while moving from one room to the other, so I connected it to the Gum Pro and.......nothing....I tried to unplug it and re-plug it in...nothing....I tried to plug it to its charger and it's working fine....I tried to plug it to my PC and again it's charging just fine....I also tried the Gum Pro with an old HTC I have for emergency and even the Gum Pro it's working fine...but if I connect the SGSII to it nothing happens: like it doesn't exist!!
Can anybody tell me WTF is happening??? I don't get it: both the devices work fine, but the can't get along....
Any electrical engineer or technician can give me any advice?? I can run as many test you need...but I really need to get it to work cause I'm often in a situation where the battery is dying and I need to charge it but I don't have any plug around me!!
i use something similar - new trent and it works fine.
Ok ...I searched over the net the product you suggested just to get some info and ran into these 2 usefull reviews which give some hints on the issue:
1-
"This product does not work out of the box with a Nokia N900 as, like many external battery packs, it does not conform to the USB dumb charger specification (the data pins of a USB dumb charger must be shorted before a compliant device will assume that it can draw current in excess of 500mA without causing damage).
Therefore, out of the box, this product does not work with the Nokia N900 or any device that complies with the USB dumb charger standards. This can be resolved by using a dedicated charge cable with the USB data pins shorted, such as the one available from Proporta, but it's a shame it didn't come with one, or with the pins properly shorted such that conventional USB data cables would also work.... [cut]"
2-
"The USB port is not wired correctly!
If you use a normal micro USB cable (rather than those horrible tip adaptors), your phone will only charge at 500mA - the rate of a 'data' USB port. My HTC Desire HD will show that it is connected to a 'USB Charger'.
The New Trent is wired incorrectly; To be a 'charge' port, pins 2 and 3 should be grounded. This tells the phone that it can pull 1000mA from the charger - the HTC Desire HD will say it is connected to an 'AC charger'. ie. it charges in half the time.
So check what cables you're using -- you might be taking twice as long to charge your phone than is neccessary!
2 ways around this - use the flimsy supplied cable and bulky tip adaptor, or use a cable that has itself been incorrectly wired like the one that comes with the genuine HTC car charger. (This cable has pins 2 and 3 grounded -- but remember that it should be the port that 'announces' whether it can deliver 500mA or 1000mA not the cable -- in theory if you used the HTC charger cable in a data USB port on your PC, you could blow the USB port because the phone will be 'told' it can pull 1000mA but the computer's USB port can only guarentee 500mA).....[cut]"
Ok..now would be really nice if anybody with some knowledge could tell us a work around when this situations come up: should I start researching a USB/MicroUSB cable JUST for charging purpose? I doubt I'll find anything similar on the net.... :-/ any other suggestion??
Nobody has any technical knowledge about this issue??
If you have a friend who might have electrical and elettronic knowledge could you please link him this thread??
Just get a cable and short d+ to d- inside the connector towards the phone, problem solved.

What he mean - if you look at a usb-connector, you could see 4 lines inside. The two outer ones, left and right, are used for 5v plus and minus, the two inner one's are data plus and minus!
To tell the phone that it can suck more than the usb-standard 500mv, the two data-lines have to be shortened! So the phone knows, that it isn't connected to a normal usb-port (pc, laptop or so) and it could get more than the normal 500mv from this port.
Sadly, this is a common problem with most after market power supplies and also with this external-battery-loaders like the mobile Gum - the data-lines are not shortened -> phone thinks, it's connected to a laptop or pc -> load'S with a max of 500mV!
If you're brave enough, you could try to manipulate the connector of the Mobile Gum Pro or a usb-cable to have the data-lines shortened out and your phone will load with the max. mv, whatever your phone accepts!
But if yoou manipulate the cable, be sure that you don't use it anymore for a normal usb-connection - doesn't know, if shortened data-lines will destroy anything, but surely it will not work anymore for transferring data!
i bought myself something like this too...V-Tank..have u tried unticking the usb debugging mode in settings>applications>Development?

Allright, I could give it a shot, what I can't get about all this it's that the same cable didn't work if connected to the Gum Pro but worked flawlessly if connected to the car charger (the one you plug into the "lighter" hole)..!!
I mean, surely from the car charger it would have carried much more than 500mV ...so why with the Gum Pro it didn't work out??

Yep, already checked and it's not ticked!
It is really quite simple, the car USB charger obviously internally shorts d+ to d-, so will work with an ordinary USB cable and the phone will indicate "charging (AC)" in settings, about, status. you can achieve the same thing by modding the cable instead of internally in the charger or micro USB connector (with a standard USB cable).
I don't know what this debug suggestion had to do with charging, it had nothing to do with it.

I think i just ****ed my phone with a simple USB. I wanted to stream to pc so i plugged a usb c into my device and into my pc, then i noticed it wasnt detecting on redmagic app so i unplugged, now my battery status is in green and it has a white lightning bolt by it, and thinks it is charging when it isnt. Says charging 45 days left, accubattery has stupid high voltage, and rebooting doesnt fix it. Do i need to send it back for warranty or something? never had issues with default charger, i just used this ****ing usb c for streaming and now my **** is broken if i shut off the phone it brings itself back and before unlock shows the charging symbol in the middle. Please can anyone help me ill take any suggestions
Maybe the charger is the problem.
Always check the charger.

Maybe the port got damaged? Try to clean it first if possible using an ear swab dipped in rubbing alcohol with the device turned off and let it dry.
If it's a damaged port, may need to be repaired.
If yes, do a factory reset.

Do you understand what power surges are or what improperly plugging in a cable can do to a port of a mobile device?
For example: Too much or too low voltage can damage a port to the point the device will think something is there, when it isn't. The same goes for damaging the pins when you plug the charger in.

my friend was saying something similar, but was originally going more towards "android got drunk, reset"
but sadly that didn't work. So im assuming plugging in a usb-c to my phone to my pc literally ****ed my port/battery. I didn't SHOVE it in, i plugged it in as i would my normal charger.
if voltage is the case, i find it very unfair they don't disclose this in their streaming app, it simply says to use a usb-c and that is what i did, now im paying for trying to use a feature of a device i paid for.
already shot an email to support, and have a backup phone in the meantime.
appreciate your response, backing up one of the theories of why its now screwed.

"stuff" happens, it's unfortunate but technology is known to go bad randomly without explanation. Best to get it repaired if you still have warranty. Otherwise, upgrade the phone to something newer. It's just bad luck.
Sometimes people buy cars and they break down within a few months.

Did you try the rubbing alcohol cleaning? I had something similar with an ipad, the USB c cable broke a couple of the female port and it ended up screwing the whole thing, as much as I want to advice anything, it ain't a software issue but a hardware one, the only option I see it's cleaning the port and trying to "scrap" any debris that might been left by the other cable, If that doesn't work, then yes, use your warranty asap

It also doesn't APPEAR like anything is on the connector, but who knows right. I just dont wanna try to clean it, then have them blame me and refuse warranty because i tried to fix it, even amazon said with what i said, the device is defective, so idk maybe i will try

i dont think port is damaged, i think voltage from my pc to phone was so high/low that it totally ****ed the battery or port.
once again, all i did was take a USB-C CORD and PLUG IT INTO MY DEVICE, took the other end and plugged into USB, i see nubia app doesnt see phone, unplug it, and ****ed.
has to be electrical, nothing else makes sense for what i did, the only cord they give you out of the box is a 65w usb-c to usb-c, had i a proper cord from usb-a to usb-c i wouldnt be in this situation
https://imgur.com/RD7c0LV
i did what it said, and now im paying for it. Given the fact there's no way to change the charging method/wattage/voltage in the system, i feel they should at least specify what TYPE of usb-c cord to use, because im just a normal user who wanted to stream to pc, and all because i simply did what they said, I'm out of a phone. Ridiculous.
im convinced the voltage of device + too high/low voltage of port, screwed the battery up, and now it thinks its always charging, and says 45 days left till full charge, does this not sound like a problem from electricity? i did NOTHING ELSE, this is the dumbest thing i've ever had to deal with, all because i plugged in my phone to pc
