Everytime I plug my Fresh 3.5.0.1 Evo into either my car charger or my playstation energizer charging station using USB rocketfish cable, it starts to charge for like two seconds. Then it stops. The lightning bolt shows up and then goes away. Any thoughts? Is this just a kernel issue? Is there a fix for this? Anyone else had this issue at all?
For the car charger, is either your cable or not plugged in secure? And the playstation has to be on for it to charge, not like the 360 where it can charge a device while its off.
Not a connection issue
This not a physical connection issue. For some reason my phone stop recognizing that it is plugged in. I can unplug the charger from USB/Lighter while still leaving it plugged into the phone and if I do it over and over it seems to except it after a while.
I heard from someone that this might be a kernel issue, is anyone familiar with kernel issues that cause a phone to think it is not plugged in?

My Desire has already connected to the AC but it had done nothing after an overnight charged. Any solution for this? The LED is on when it connected to the AC.
Same here since a few days
anyone with a solution?
If it is refusing to charge, maybe a dead battery or something like that? If so talk to HTC about it. Could be something else but very much unlikely.
Usb and car charger seem to work fortunately. Probably a broken ac adaptor . Strange because the orange charging led is lit while plugged in however it's not charging. Whrn I plugged in an old cigarette to usb charger in my car which resulted in amessage from the phonr cmplaining that there is not enough current. Not the case with the ac adaptor. Charging led is on but using battery instead of charging
Hi,
I've dropped my phone while charging and after that I could not charge it. What happened was that the two hooks on the mini-USB port were ripped off and the contact was imperfect. I replaced the USB-miniUSB cable and it worked, I've had no problems since. I hope that your problem is as easy as this.
I noticed that when I'm plugged in by the AC to charge, the display won't register my touches correctly. Sometimes it will, like 10% of the time. Switching to USB charge or removing it from the AC charge will fix the issue.
Anyone else have this problem?
Same, its not the cable but the main converter for the wall..
i am using the Cable that came with it stock and my old epic converter/ wall charger and it is working.
Anyone know what needs plugging in to get this phone to charge please? I have always used it with both cables plugged in. Suddenly I am trying not to bother using the USB cable and it only charges in the cradle for a minute or so before the orange light goes off. With the phone plugged in OR with the battery plugged into the slot on the cradle. (therefore this doesnt seem to be to do with the charging circuits in the phone itself). I dont think it has always done this.
So I tried plugging the USB cable back in and hey presto, my brand new battery starts to charge properly.
Does anyone know if this means that the ac adapter connected to the cradle is malfunctioning and not putting out enough power? Or enough power constantly enough to continue putting out the necessary 5v? Or is it only supposed to work with both cables plugged in? When I unplug the ac adapter, the battery stops charging so I cant figure out where the cradle is getting its 5v to charge! Other have reported, worryingly, that the unit should charge with the USB cable alone.
I did look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282983 but they all talk about after market chargers not working, whereas I am pretty sure mine is the original Siemens sx66 charger. Does anyone think that the adapter is failing and eventually BOTH the power cable AND the USB cable wont put out enough power to charge the unit?
I have a strange issue that popped up out of nowhere. Every time I plug my phone into my car charger and I hit my "home" button on the phone, I get the car app home screen. I have no idea how this may have gotten switched on. If I plug the phone into the AC charger, it doesn't happen.
The worst part is...when I unplug the phone from the car charger, it won't stop going to the car app (when you hit the home button) until the phone is rebooted.
Any thoughts on this or is anyone having this issue?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
That is weird. You don't have the app downloaded do u?

No..nothing. It must be some kind of built in car app that thinks the phone is docked when it gets plugged into the car charger.
The only other thing the phone is doing at the time is that it's connected by (by bluetooth) to the Sync system in my ford truck.
I'm stumped
What kind of car charger is it? Who makes it?
The picture you are showing is the same app that starts when I plug the phone into the Infuse Car Dock (it is the Samsung ET4G version of Car Home). Though it does stop when I unplug the phone.
You may have a defective phone that is reacting to a part of the car charger. The charger may have the same plug link or magnet that the phone dock does causing the phone to go into car home.
Try turning off the bluetooth and connect the phone to the car charger. Does it still happen?
Are you using the usb cord that came with it? This problem actually happened on some EVO 4G phones, just google car mode issue EVO and you should know what I mean. With that said, mine has the same issue, except instead of it starting when plugged in, it only starts car mode on its own sometimes when there's lots of moisture in the air, I live in Seattle so it happens a lot this season. I've recently switched back to the original usb cord and since I haven't really been outside in the rain, I haven't had a chance to see if that solved the issue.
I think I figured it out. I noticed the phone was only charging for short spurts when it was plugged in so I ran out and purchased a new car adapter and the problem is gone. Maybe it was getting low voltage from the adapter?
In any case...thank you all for your replies.
The light comes on most of the time but it still doesnt really seem to be charging it. Any idea what's up?
Swap the USB cable and use the one that came with your phone. Lots of times the USB cables are the culprit.
Don't have the one that came with my phone but I've tried a few different cables

Is the phone active during the charging time and does the phone charge normally without the dock? I've noticed that with my stock sprint EVO car dock plugged in, when used to navigate (GPS), screen on and perhaps playing music through the aux connection, the phone only holds its own. Won't fully charge, but won't discharge either and if I turn off the screen or spotify, the phone will charge, just slowly.
As the USB cable plugs into the dock, not the phone when it's mounted, removing the phone and plugging in directly has the phone charge normally.
patass, can I get a link for the dock? Sounds interesting, I might try it myself as I have the cable that came w/ my phone.
