When the phone is off and plugged into the wall, it charges. When the phone is on, and I plug it into the wall or computer, the phone doesn't know it's plugged in.
I ordered a brand new usb charging flex jack and replaced the old one, still the same problem. What gives?
EDIT: I am stock. Not rooted.
Does this happen on the original cable also?
Have you tried wiping?
Is Fast Charge on?
Fk. It doesn't even charge from the wall! When the phone is off, it has the animation that says it's charging when i plug it in the wall. I left it plugged into the wall overnight. This morning I took a look at the phone, and it didn't charge!
Oh noez, what should i do?
Also, I don't have the original cable. I'm using an HTC one.
EDIT: Dafuq?! I found an LG charger. Apparently the phone knows that it's charging when I charge with that. The thing is, that charger is just a charger; it's not a usb cable+ an adaptor. So I can't use it for adb and such.

You should mention what ROM you're on (and version) so that no one else makes the same mistake I did in assuming you had a custom ROM and that Fast Charge is on. It's a feature that makes sure that whatever charges it is recognised as AC 1amp charger as some chargers aren't designed well enough (I believe it involves a single solder point) to report themselves as capable of 1A. If it doesn't report as AC to Android, it will charge at 500mA instead (it assumes USB power). It sometimes causes problems with connecting to PC via USB.
Get another USB cable, this time none of that fancy **** go straight to OE Samsung or something.
=O I thot all usb cables are made equal! So I can't use an HTC usb cable? The dude didn't sell me the phone with a cable T.T
Also, I'm stock. I am not even rooted.
My nexus just started acting stupid when I plug it in also.
Mine sat in a drawer for a few weeks and when I plugged it in to charge, it wouldn't.
What I did was this.
plug device into charger
remove battery for a few seconds
replace battery
press power button
phone powered up and began charging.
Even now, it still sometimes doesn't recognize the charger and I have to unplug and plug it in until it does.
I use a rocketfish cable.

Some devices are picky, you'd think that all USB cables are made equal (I did too) but some just don't work well with certain devices. I've had printers th... wait printers always have **** problems... I've had uh... usb extensions not work well with some Wifi dongles and such. My old milestone didn't like the Samsung cable either (yet the Moto cable works perfectly on gnex)
=O. Then it has to be the usb cable! No way it's not!
I ordered one on ebay =D

Thank you dmappdev,
I followed your procedure (feel like talking about surgery here, which isn't too far from topic); I'm convinced that it helped in some way, directly or indirectly... as at first, my Galaxy S Advance still wouldn't recognize/charge my phone with:
1. its own charger,
2. my old Galaxy Ace's charger,
3. a universal wall usb plug used with the S Advanced own USB-to-USBmini cable.
My last idea was to use, quote: an old Nokia USB cable connected to my PC... and that worked.
I was much too happy my phone had remembered how to charge to stay mad... But I still tried those three means for charging again, and only the phone's original charger worked now. So the phone's charging ability has been "awakened" in some way, but only for the original charger ...technology is improving, but not the ethics on making life easier for the consumer.
All this was yesterday. This morning (there's more, yes), I saw my phone indicating a 100% charge although it had been disconnected from charge for several hours - something that had already happened once yesterday, before the unable-to-charge situation; a simple reboot took care of the problem, the battery status now showing a more realistic 53%.
Any comments to any of the above? If not, thanks again for your tip anyway !!!

Hi.
i got a unbranded Touch Pro2 in france. the battery stand 2 days before the first recharge. but seems i got a problem of recharging.
i decide to recharge it when the phone is ON, but seems it consumes more than recharge speed. there are less and less electric in the battery, even the screen is Off, and no applications running, and all connections are disabled (WIFI, Bluetooth, Data Connection) except Phone
so i have to take the phone completely OFF, with a cable USB connected to the computer, now it is more than 6 hours, but the recharing light is always "Orange".
this is my 3rd HTC phone, and i never met this problem before. as the first recharge of TP2, is it normal to me?
thanks in advance of your help

Thanks, nearly 6.5 hours with usb cable. the light turns green, so i can start it now.
but i still not understand why it consumes more quickly than recharge. i will see if it happens only in first charge.
I saw somthing somehwhere about turning on quick charge or full charge via activesync usb, dont know what its about but its worth investegating if this is a problem for you.
I have another charging or connection problem, with all my other htc phones (5) i could use any regular usb cabel, with the pro 2 they all seem to have poor connection, have to hold the cabel in a sertan angel for it to work. The supplied cabel and the org cabel for my pro 1 works fine though. Anybody else having this issue?

same here - but applies to all my htc phone. they can not connect stability with the mini-usb of my SLR camera. in fact, there are a little different with HTC ext-usb and mini USB -- the port is a Right-angle trapezoidal, while the standard mini-usb is Symmetric trapezoidal. so that's why we should use the ext-usb cable.
same here with the usb cable ...well is not the usb cables problem but the usb plug in the phone .
concerning charging from a pc laptop.....
if i leave my phone overnight charging from the laptop and the laptop goes into standby ,even if the battery is 100% it gets totally discharged with in hours!!!! this while plugged into the laptop!!!
what a hell is this , i mean, m i charging the laptop from the pda or what!?
this is a serious bug that htc needs addressing.
please note that there is laptops that do not power down usb ports while in standby, i got one that does just that.
now my eee-pc1000h doe power down the usbs ports when going into standby.

Well i know that but that is becous they also have the headset on the same port. As far as i know you should be able to use a normal usb cabel with the device.
USB ports on a computer can only supply 500Mah of current. it seems really odd that the phone would be discharging at such a rate to deplete itself even with that current available. that would seem to indicate the 1500Mah battery in the Tp2 would only last 2, maybe 3 hours before dying if left unplugged.
when connected through a Wall outlet the phone should be being charged at 1000Mah. although the maximum safe charge rate of the battery is 1.5Amps (1500Mah.)

I have noticed that my TP2 can complain with a popup warning that there is insufficient power to charge when connected to my Dell laptop. I think it just stops charging at this point. After that it is downhill all the way!
I agree that there is something strange going on with the TP2 recharging from a USB port. I got my TP2 as a replacement for my HTC Universal. I am using the TP2 on the same port with the same cable. The Universal was very straightforward - plug it in and it charged regardless of whether it or the PC was on or off. The TP2 is very different - leave this connected to a powered off PC overnight and I routinely find that the TP2 has reached critical battery low the next morning. This means that not only does it seem not to have been charging, but it must have been "on" overnight (where the power management settings should have turned it off) in order to deplete the battery to this extent, regardless of whether it was charging or not. The battery charging light (amber to the left of the ear speaker) is on throughout.
The power management information is also odd. This AM it reports last full charge at 23:12 last night and since last full charge a standby time of 6h39m, talk time of 0 and device usage of 2h55m. However, it wasnt used at all after about 20:00 last night and power management should have turned it off after 30 mins.
It charges normally from the USB port when the PC is on.
Any ideas?
This problem happens with standard USB cables and the official HTC cable. You must have an active ActiveSync connection or the phone won't charge.
Last night I plugged my phone in while my computer was still booting. The charging light came on, but this morning I was left with 10% battery.
If you plug it into a computer without ActiveSync installed the phone won't charge.
If you plug it in and the ActiveSync icon turns green the phone is happy and will charge.
If you turn off the phone and plug it in to just about any USB power source, the phone doesen't know better, and it will charge.
I got the power error in my car last weekend. Running with the splitter, with 3.5mm into car sterio and car charger plugged in. Was running slide2play and the pop up showed up. Come to find out, later on the charging light wasnt on the phone anymore. Tried the wifes tilt 2 and it wouldnt charger hers either. The car charger died.
BUT, at the time the error came up, the charging light was up and running.

Problem with TP2 and Mini USB sync/charge cable
I have an unbranded GSM TP2. It charges normally using the HTC wall charger and the HTC supplied ExtUSB cable.
I have read that Mini USB cables should be compatible with the HTC ExtUSB port for normal operations like charge and sync so I bought a generic Mini USB sync/charge cable on e-Bay. The supplier stated it was compatible with TP2, but when I plug it in to USB port, the device charging light comes on for 1 sec then goes off and the PC shows a message saying "a USB device has malfunctioned".
The supplier sent me a replacement cable but it has exactly the same problem so I don't think the cable is faulty. I think maybe the problem is with my device.
Does anyone out there have more detailed knowledge of the compatibility of Mini USB and ExtUSB?

I think the odds are you just got a bum USB cable...the failure rate among the generic ones on e-bay is considerably higher as a rule. Do you or any of your friends have any other mini-USB equipped devices you can test it with?

That was my first thought but I have now tried three different cables, from two different e-bay sources, with the same effect. However, I haven't yet tried any of them with any other device - I'll try that at the weekend and see what happens.
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.
so the option to not charge it is not ticked under power settings, and its set to charge via usb from advanced config and still no dice.
tried different usb ports and nothing
the led is orange, says its charging in power options
any thoughts?
Try a diffrent usb cable, some cables do not provide enough power to charge the phone. (guessing maybe they are old 1.1 cabels). But I know I have a few cables around that dont charge my phone and they also will not work with my portable external usb hard drive because they wont provide enough power for it. But they work just fine with my digital camera.
I´ve read somewhere that disabling USB charging is better for the battery life, so I have it disabled.
You've tried different USB ports, but were they on the different computers?
so i've tried different cables, different ports and 2 different PC's and 2 different laptops.
I know its not the cable i'm currently using because i plugged it into one of those A/C to USB adapters and charged fine.
I'm starting to think its my batter,
If you have tbattery installed, do u get values for all the boxes?
All mine except 3 or 4 are 0 :/
Well, you are not the only one having this problem. Mine is brand new. I started setting it up last night and had it hooked to the computer via usb. I installed a few .cabs such as google maps, myphone, and a few tweaks such as tether, disable sent notification, enable all camera modes, and manila start menu unlocker. While it was connected it said it was charging. When I went to bed I turned it off and connected it to another usb cable on another computer which is an a/c hub. I went to turn it on this morning and thought it was strange it was not fully charged. I continued to set it up a bit and take it for a spin. After a while I turned it off again and hooked it to the usb a/c charger again. I just tried turning it on and nothing was happening. I connected it to the usb again and it finally turned on, but I checked the battery level and it was at 0% and turned off. I have it connected to the a/c charger and giving it a little bit to see what will happen. One thing that seems strange is that the battery discharged more while it was off and attached to the usb a/c hub during the afternoon causing it to refuse to turn on at all. Any thoughts?

I think the odds are pretty good it's your battery. The orange light means power is going through the charging circuit, so you obviously have your settings correct.
I'm guessing you're in Austin or near? If you want to try popping my battery in it for a few minutes and see if it charges fine then, PM me and we can set something up.
the same thing is happening with mine. Sometimes it will charge, sometimes it wont. weird thing is that it only started doing this a few days ago... i know nothing has changed ROM wise, so only things i can think now is maybe the actual USB connector on the phone or the battery, but since I am getting a charge via wall chargers im not sure what to think lol
Just an update.
If i have the USB cable plugged in (and car charger to which doesn't charge as well ) after 15 min or so a warning appears saying that the current is too low to charge the device. Either closed unused apps or switch to a/c power.
I've ordered a 1800mah Mugen Power Battery. Gonna see if it resolves the issue, if it does then i'm gonna call at&t and see if they'll swap my battery for me.
I have found as have others here after reading some posts that if the phone is almost dead or battery is very low then it will not charge via the USB anymore. The orange light goes on and it says that its charging but the charging circuit seems to be protecting the phone and not letting the battery charge.
The only solution I have found, and it has only happened twice so far is to plug it into a wall charger and fully charge the battery. It will then charge via USB again and all is good. I normally only charge my phone with usb while connected to Activesync but once in a while you seem to need to top it up with a wall charger.
It is also highly recomended not to run Lithium Ion batteries right out.
How do you know it is not charging?
There is a difference in the wiring from a wall charger and a USB charger. There is a signal line in the wall charger telling it to charge at near 1000ma. In the USB cable that line tells it to limit the charge current to 500ma. That is the limit for current that you should pull from a USB port. If you are using the unit heavily, you may actually need more then the 500ma., those running the battery down possibly.
If the unit is idle, it will still take much longer to charger from USB then off of a wall charger.

If you are asking me, I know it was not charging because I also had the "not enough power to charge message" and the phone went from about 15% when I plugged it in to stone cold dead by the morning. The whole time it was pluged into a computer I have used repeatedly to charge it with. I then put it on a AC charger and it went to full charger in about an hour and a half or so.
hello.
i have arhd 3.3, 12.41 radio.
i put my phone into wall socket last night at 23 30 and this morning at 5:30 phone was still charging at 73%. at 6 30 it was at 83%. then i switched it off and back on, pluged the charger in, and the led went green in like 2 minutes.
what's this? i have the phone for 3 days now. does it take that long to charge or is it a rom problem? i am using the original charger.
looks like a rom problem. Best way to know will be trying different roms.
dont know if it is a rom problem. i think is a radio problem.
install current widget and see what the input milli ampage is. This should give you an idea of if your having a charging issue. Also when you have charged to true 100% (Not when the LED goes green but when current widget says you are no longer receiving a current (0 Mah)) then reboot to recovery and wipe the battery statistics.
I can't see the radio giving you an issue on charging, unless it was using almost more juice than you are putting in. The only time I have ever seen that behaviour is when using a USB charging cable and navigation at the same time.
Hope this helps.
i am using the charger that came with the device that uses indeed an usb cable connected to it.

I meant a USB only (not original) charger. As the charger supplied is actually a wall charger and is rated to supply the device with more "juice" than a standard USB socket (i think are rated for 1mah charging??)
The scenario I am using is when you use a phone for navigating and have it plugged into a 12v socket in a car using a USB adapter which will only give the lowest permitted power rating.
so......i think i have a problem.
when i plug the phone into the wall socket it says charging(usb)
when i plug it in laptop usb using the cable the same charging(usb).
wasn't it supposed to say charging(ac)?

Not sure about that, but even so my DHD will charge from flat in less time than yours was plugged in, how warm / cold was the room you had the phone charging in? Possibly it's getting too hot whilst charging which would lead to the phone reducing the charge rate?
now it;s on charge from about 30 min. it's not even warm. the battery is reported to have 27*
You might be having a damaged battery try replacing it with a new one.
the phone is new.
could it be because of setcpu 230-1228?

Yes I think it's supposed to say charging AC. Try cleaning the usb connectors thoroughly.
Yeh being informed that it is chargng over USB when in the well is definitely wrong. I suggest trying to get another cable or something like a newer style blackberry charger.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have noticed today, after a week of having the HOX, that when the phone is plugged in to charge, it always shows as USB within the power screen, even if its using the supplied charger at the wall.
When I plug in a BlackBerry charger I have, then it switches to AC.
Is this normal?

Is this normal?

That does NOT seem normal. are you using the same wall plug to charge when using BB cable? if so, something wrong with your HOX charging cable.
yea this doesnt sound normal to me. when im charging with AC, nothing except the red led is showing up.
Thanks for replies,
The BB charger is a solid BB charger, no disconnecting cables from the wall unit.
Just plugged my HOX into my PC and I get USB device not recognised. I'm starting to think the supplied cable is faulty which is also leading to my charging issue.
What do you think?
Pre-purchase Questions
Hi,
I'm thinking of buying the HTC One X (International), it represents a significant investment on my part so I want to ensure that I don't end up regretting spending my $500 on this device. I have seen a number of users complain of poor battery timing and weak wifi connection. I would like to ask guys who are already using it for their opinion, would you recommend buying it? Are you content with your phone's performance? Should I pitch in some more and buy the SIII instead?
I'll appreciate the feedback.
Regards,
