I've been experiencing some problems with charging and I read in out of the threads that I could use a bit of electrical contact cleaner and it would work. And now my screen protector is ruined and my phone won't fully turn on. It boots up, vibrates then it turns off. What do I do I'm freaking out right now. I'm going to put it rice to see if that works at all Anybody know what I should do I'm really scared right now.
Exactly what did you use? Link to the product.
Yea a little more detail on what you used would be very helpful.
Jesus I feel like the biggest idiot of life. You guy don't realize how F*cking stupid I am. After being in a complete rush I used the wrong type of cleaner. So After I soaked it in rice and took it out I actually used a proper Electrical Contact cleaner and and now everything is fine. But I am now certain that the cable is done because it wasn't charging or showing that it was plugged in so I used my friend's Blackberry cable and everything is fine. I'm so relieved right now.

Lol glad to hear that its fixed.... we all make mistakes
Thanks, the only problem I'm still back to is that it won't charge, which is what was happening before. I am not sure whether it is the charger itself or the micro-usb charging port (Which I could replace). Phone thinks it's charging with the lightning bolt in the top right, but it won't charge...if I go to battery in the settings it says discharging but in the charts it that it was charging all this time.
My friend has that bug with his evo... try another charger. It might help

I'm trying that right now. If it doesn't charge does that mean that the charging port is dead or could it mean that the battery is dead aswell?

Tbh I don't know but this is a educated guess.... seeing that it shows that its charging on the phone means that its receiving the charge. A good test would be to take out the battery and plug your phone into the charger. If it works that means that the port is OK and you'll need a new battery. If not then its the port. Hope this helps.

What do you mean by if it works, as in if the phone boots up and works normally when plugged in?
When you take out the battery and plug it in to the charger it should work normally as its getting power from the plug.

Meh whatever, I smelled and it was just the smell of the wrong cleaner I used, luckily it was just on the plastic parts so I'm safe, I disassembled the rest and found the charging port. I'm ordering a new one for $10 shipped from NJ and not from HK so I should get it soon. Thanks for your help btw. I really appreciate it. :good:
Good luck bud
Update: I just replaced charging port literally just now and it still won't charge. It still says "Charging" but it's not charging. In the Settings it says discharging.
Could it be the battery? I'm thinking of buying a new one and seeing if that works.
Updated Update: The 6% that had remained on my battery before I took my phone apart to repair it is now gone leaving the battery with 0% charge. But, I believe I may have found the problem! If the phone is unplugged from my charger and I try to turn it on it won't turn on at all. But if I plug it into my charger it will boot up past vibrate to the Nexus logo (The X) and then it dies out. I think that the problem is in the charger that has a input voltage drop so it's not charging enough to keep it going. I'm going to use my friend's Samsung Charger (From his Galaxy S II) to see if that will solve the problem.

Does it charge on the wall okay? I would try a different kernel out, see if that remedies it. If not, I would be suspicious of a damaged/faulty USB cable(they do/can go bad), or a faulty battery. Have you tried clearing your battery stats yet? I would do that, as well.

I've had this happen consistently over the past few weeks, only with my car dock though. It charges fine both in my dock at work and on the standard charger at home. I'm using a Seidio dock, and I've done multiple things to find the issue. Both my wife and I have EVO 4g's with Seidio car docks. I swapped my dock for hers, no change. I swapped out the charging cable, no change. I used a different charger, no change. I tried my normal setup on my wife's phone, no change.
I don't know what else to do to figure the issue out. I have ordered a new charger that supplies 2.1A, as I've read that a low charger output could be the issue.
I am confused, as this combination has worked fine for about 8 months now. Why all of a sudden is it no longer charging properly? The battery could be the issue, as I know that the chemistry changes over time, but I'd like to know for certain before swapping out the battery.
I'd love to hear from others who are having the same issue.
Seidio Dock issue?
I've seen a few other posts with the same problem. Particularly this one: Post #1175
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16499063&postcount=1175
The one thing that is similar is that he is using the same car dock as I am, the Seidio dock.
I've been playing with this a bit, and have managed to isolate it to the Kernel. I flashed back to MikFroyo and the problem disappeared. It charged perfectly fine.
In Gingerbread (MikG 2.42), with both the stock Kernel and the Freedom Kernel, the phone won't charge properly in the dock. I've been keeping an eye on it with Battery Monitor Widget. Here are the results:

While I am driving, the kernel is showing a 100% full battery, however, it is discharging instead of going into the float mode. As soon as the phone is removed from the dock, it goes from 100% down to 80%. When I put it onto a desk charger, it charges fine with a normal float charge. If I remove the cord from the Seidio dock and plug it into the phone (with a mini -> micro USB adapter), it will charge normally and go into float mode.
Something was changed in the GB Kernel update that affected this behavior. Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer to get that deep to find out where the problem is.
Is there any help possible from anyone???
This always happens to me on AOSP roms. If you happen to be on an AOSP rom, just plug the charger back in then take it out.

I've tried that previously with no luck. I'm using a Sense ROM, currently MikG 2.42, but I had the same issue with the stock GB ROM.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Phone was running Miui's latest rom with Tiamat's 4.0.2 sbc kernel and then viperboys BSM v2. Well today my phone totally died, zeroed out. I put it on my car charger and it was charging but I noticed it stayed at 0% for some time. Anyway, I finally get home and it's around 11% while getting out of the car. I plug it into my regular wall charger and set it down and this was earlier today. I go to pick it up and it's dead. No response, no lights, not even a flicker. I take the USB cable and plug it into my computer and I get a very very feint red light that blinks maybe 3-4 times then it's gone. Well needless to say second time I tried I got it to come on but for a split second then that's it.
What could have happened?

I can't even get the phone to turn on. If it's plugged in via USB to computer it'll come on but if you blink you'll miss it. Quick shut on then off.
I've read if these drain too low, then the phone won't allow a charge. I've got it on a stand-alone prong charger now and it looks like it may be charging. I think it's time to invest into a extended battery.
My guess is the battery. Might need to take it to sprint and let them boost it. I've seen this a few tines where it gets so low it wont charge.

Lol yeah it's crazy.
Just for the record guys. With my setup I posted up top, I went into battery monitor and looked at the history to see what was up. Turns out my battery percentage was all over the place and eventually started de-charging itself till it KO'd. I reset the BSM and I'm now using Tiamat with no SBC. So far so good.
i was useing an sbc kernal and like many have warned to not leave it on the charger overnight thats what i did every night my phone was acting the same way put it on the charger at 65% woke up in the morning to find it at 50% took the back off the phone off put the old battery in charged perfect inspected the first battery the plastick was comeing off and the battery was slighly swollen. im glad hts all that happened switched back to stock cm7 kernal andgot a new battery happy as a clam
Dude get a NEW BATTERY..
did you try the wall charger first. PC ports only put out 500mAh at max per port, where as you typical wall charger for the Evo should put out 1Ah. (I dont know if you already did this) Also, car chargers dont have the strongest power output.
If none of that works, then try a new batter.
Disregard, didn't see that you got it fixed lol...you can use this info for future reference?

Yeah I tried all that and it seemed at the time my port on the PC was putting out more than the wall charger. But I'm looking into getting an extended battery. For now everything's all good.
Had that happen to me acouple of times. Thought usb was bad thought maybewall plug tried everything. Took bat out if phone and left for an hour. Put back in phone and it took a charge fine.. later search and found that evo has a safety if bat drains to low they will sometime lock the charging mechanism and to leave bat out for awhwile is only fix.

i really dont recommend spending $50 bucks
i have a powermat with my evo 4g and i really dont recommend it...
its a cool device but youl find some definite flaws, you already know battery time is really short, so i needed to charge it every once in a while in the car or at the office so i had to disconnect the microusb thingy from the battery cover in order to plug the car charger or the pc cable, after a couple of weeks the little plastic tether broke so i have to keep an eye not to lose it since its small.
another thing that annoys me its that since you leave it all night the powermat kind of shuts off after battery is full only to turn on again after i dont know when.. the result is that sometimes in the morning i woke up and found out that my charge wasnt at 100% (or even 60%, dont know if its some power management failure or maybe my kernel).
hope this helps

I have the same power mat and I agree with most points except the charging overnight bit. yes it does turn off when the battery is full, but as long as the phone is sleeping properly it should be very close to fully charged when you pull it off. mines always been full, so if you're having an issue I would definitely try a different rom/kernel or track down the offending app.
The little charging jumper is a bit annoying when you need to use a car charger, but so far mine hasn't come off it's rubbery tether. my biggest gripe with this charging mat is that the phone becomes incompatible with most cases, including my trusty otterbox commuter. It's definitely a cool thing to cut the wires and it's hard to beat the price ($39) but it does have it's downfalls...
Help pls! I have had this for about 2 weeks, no issues. none. suddenly from today morning, my screen wont shut down. Even when i press the power button it comes back up. and the battery status goes to "usb charging" once every 15-20 secs. it flashes usb charging, screen goes on, then the charging symbol dissapears. it keeps happening, phone screen wont turn off. been happening the past hour n half. i wiped battstats. i did factory reset. wiped again. nothing. keeps happening. wat do i do?????? right now i am letting it drain, when drained fully, m gonna charge it up and see if it happens again. m on aokp build 11/franco's 7.1.

well my problem hasn't re occurred. It got magically solved.
And you should research your things before you post,it has been widely discussed in this forum that it is just a standard micro USB cable. I used another standard cable from my kindle and galaxy s phone. worked perfectly till now. Now after this problem I used a Nokia charger which worked perfectly as expected.
My guess is that some particle got inside the uncovered USB port causing some unwanted connections.

Yeah, sorry I probably should have been more specific but I dont know the exact name for them. haha
It's like the dock "travel" charger for just the battery, not the battery connected to the phone.
I havent been able to find something decent (crappy charging, made in china).
Ok a little update for those interested.
I ended up buying some cheap (REALLY cheap) charger off ebay not expecting too much but just experimenting.
The charger itself looks something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The 2 metal prongs connect to + and -; the charger is able to read which is the + and which is the - no matter how you set the battery in there. The bottom part that pushes the battery toward the prong is extendable or you can flip it 180 if you have a really small battery.
-Flashing red and blue light means charging
-Dull red light while plugged in means fully charged
-Dull red light while not plugged in but with battery set up means the pins are set up correctly on the terminals
NOTE: do not take batter off/put battery on while the charger is plugged in. It can ruin the battery.
The exact one i bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270908124203?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
(no problems with the seller, they actually sent me a few free ones due to a misunderstanding)
Now for the review and my experience.
Pros:
-Fits any battery, interchangeability of pins (differentiating + and -) means you can fit any battery really
-Has a side USB port so you can charge a battery and plug in your USB cord to the phone and charge it at the same time
-Voltage input is 110-220V so (with an adapter) you can theoretically (will test this summer) plug this charge straight into an european plug or north american plug.
-No problems so far with over charging; Charger stops charging the battery when it is full
-Has a light to tell you when the battery is done charging and when you have the pins connected correctly to the battery
-Compact; Small and plug folds up into unit.
-Charges a fully dead battery quickly.
Cons:
-No instructions when I first received this product (i know what you're thinking, how hard could it be to just charge a battery but I was reluctant to rely on the self detecting terminal feature)
-While charging, the light on the unit (the one i posted/bough) flashes red and blue like cop lights and is very bright so it might be a problem if you are plugging it in overnight in a bedroom. Also this is a normal function of the charger but i thought it was malfunctioning so they sent a new unit but then figured out its normal.
-Looks cheap
-Dont know how long it will last for (really cheap so buying another one isnt a problem)
-Noticed that after i pull a battery off the charger and use it the phone states it is at 99% (undercharged) although if i try to bump charge a fully charged battery it wont charge more. This could be a problem with my battery/phone/etc.
-Nothing else really
So final verdict on this product:
Its a great, affordable charger; works great if you are traveling and need to charge an extra battery. Will fit the Incredible 2 extended batteries and technically virtually any battery. Its pretty easy to use once you know what the color lights mean and how to set a battery up.
If anyone has any questions or want more pictures of this product just reply in this thread. Hope this helped out anyone looking for a product like this.
