Electric charge in the case while charging

Hi all,
I put my desire onto charge and as I picked it up and touched the outer casing I could feel this electric charge vibration on my skin, you can clearly feel it as you run your finger along the side of the metal part of the case.
What I want to know is.. Is this normal for this kind of phone or I have a dodgy one where something is touching something it's not supposed to be?
I had a laptop once that did the same, It had a metal lid.. A portege 3110 years ago and I assumed it was faulty.

I have the same thing, more so on the left side. Thought maybe everyone had it, be weird if they dont

It's perfectly normal. I would have thought that having a laptop that does the same would have confirmed that.

Yeh I have the same, it's perfectly fine
Even my iPod Classic does the same, had it for 3 years and it's still going strong.
But yeh I wouldn't worry about it, tbh I get turned on from the electric charge from my BEAST

I am super sensitive to things like this, It actualy makes it difficult for me to use the device while plugged into the charger. I stuck my multi meter on it to check and I get a high reading from the outer part of the case that surrounds the screen, even with the phone off charge and just sitting on the table I can get a decent reading.. Is there a design fault with this phone that's causing it to leak charge into the case?
I've checked my old N95, O2 Zest & Moto Droid for the same issue, I thought the droid would be the same since it has metal casing too but it's not.
Are you 100% sure this is normal? And what are the side effects of being continualy pumped with current while using your phone plugged in?

no, you should not be getting charge in the case....it does sound to me like you have a problem.
Mine has no such feeling when charging.
I can't imagine there's any dodgy side effects, it's only 5v at 1A. that's less than sticking a 9v battery on your tongue, but it's still not right i don;t think.
If you do send it back to HTC, get someone to take a picture of you and the multi-meter clearly showing the charge on the case. it's just an extra bit of evidence in your favour.

I don't have any such problems.

For those of you that can not feel this, try the following.
When the device is being charged, very lightly run your finger along the "metel" edge part of the screen.
Its the same effect that i have when in bed with an electric blanket on and i lightly touch the brick wall!
On another note, there is no "tingle" when charging from from a pc.

Same problem here.
When i charge it on my Acer laptop with Windows or Linux, everything is ok. Today i connected it to my EEEPC with Linux on it, and after the battery was approx. 90% charged again, it started to "wobble" when you touched it. Maybe it was there before, dunno ...
I can feel it on the screen and on the bezel. If i hold the phone with 2 hands, i can't feel it. And yes, i'm very sensitive to electrical currents
I don't think it's "fine" ...

I have the same problem, just assumed it was a faulty charger as my sisters charger, and my car charger don't replicate it.

[Q] Droid X Powermat

I was wondering if anyone had gotten and used the receiver door for the Powermat charging? If so, how was it?

I got the receiver door a few days ago and I absolutely love this product! It was kind of a pain in the ass to get on, but now that I have it situated there are no issues at all with it.

I wish i could use one of these things, but i do a lot of plugging in and out and it doesn't look like i could shave off the inside to support the extended battery.

I got one, and it is going back. It does fit with the extended battery, but I can't find a case to fit it. My main complaint is that I leave it on my nightstand to charge while I sleep, but once it hits 100% it stops charging. So when I wake up my battery has already began to drain since it stopped charging in the middle of the night. I don't like waking up to a battery that say 80-90.

makes sense. i would not want it then either. i was looking to get one but i need a case to fit it too.

mine just does not want to charge my phone. the indicator lights signify that a connection has been made but the dx does not show that it is charging. I was reading on another thread about this and they said it had to do with the connectors gettin worn out, but ive only used mine twice so hopefully they will send me a new one. I dont suggest getting one right now, they are new and still faulty.

I'd stay away...
I've had to return 3 of them. I originally bought for my wife so she could just place it on the mat and charge her X and we've had nothing but issues with them. They're just to temperamental from even the most basic use.
I'd stay away and put the money on a docking station.

happened to me too it powermat really sux dont buy it

I love this thing, but a lot of people damage the back door when they first install it.
It's easy to fix though, on the back side of the chargeback where the flex connection go's in you see 4 little pins if you take a small screw ; driver like the eye glass kind and press them down it will fix the connection and the phone will get charged.

man i really love the idea of a powermat but glad that you all pointed out that the idea is there just not the execution...thanks all for the great heads up on staying away from them

Charging Issue

Hi guys,
i have some issues with charging my inc2.
it is not accepting any charge anymore, tried diffrent chargers, cables, even on my pc but nothing. The orange charging LED just flashes slowly on and off...
Any ideas?

Need to replace phone or replace charging port.

Yes, unfortunately it is a known hardware issue. Over time, the charging port starts coming loose. Like mentioned above, you CAN fix it yourself. There are video tutorials on YouTube and the replacement part can be had for under $10. If your device is still under warranty, Verizon will replace the phone. If it's not under warranty (or if you just want to give it a go), the port replacement process is pretty straightforward.

I might give it a try. Does anybody have a video or a link?
The weird thing is, that the battery is discharging very fast, could it be just a bad battery?

Could b the back door on your inc 2. I believe you need the back door on to charge cuz it goes thru contacts on the back. I dropped mine one day and charging and getting signal was almost impossible till I figured that out and bought a new one

Ok.
Seems to charge now. Won't touch it until it is full. After that I will check what is going on.
I don't know where this issue came from.never dropped it nothing. It was even in a Otterbox
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

The issue stems from regular use. The charging port is essentially held in place only by the connections to the board. Repeatedly plugging and unplugging the power cable causes it to break over time.

actually just replaced the charger port on my incredible 2 today. It really wasn't that difficult at all. If you have any questions feel free to PM me

yeah it has to be replaced. happened to me last month. It's honestly like the worst flaw with this phone

Def need to replace it. Same issues I was having at one point with it randomly taking charge. I found that if the charger is plugged in a held a certain level ( i placed the phone on a flat surface with a book under the cord for leverage) it would charge just fine.
If you are rooted and sending back, make sure you revert to stock to avoid any annoyances.

I've managed to solve this issue without messing around with the phone's innards (the last time I did it was a disaster and I was forced to buy an entirely new phone). It's not pretty, but if you twist a rubber band around the micro usb end of your charger, plug your phone in, twist that same rubber band around the phone itself, and make sure the connection very tight, you might get some more life out of your charger port.
Ugh. I can't wait for my upgrade.

Nice name there Dave.

While, I give you major kudos points for MacGuyver-ing a solution, that's more of a quick band-aid than a real fix. I could imagine having a rubber band around the phone could potentially hinder usage.
But hey, way to think outside the box! :good:

Thank you. You're telling me. Do you know how hard it is to use a touch screen with a rubber band across it? Oy.
Right. The caveat here, of course, is that this technique will only help charge your phone until the charging port becomes so disconnected from the board that no amount of force will reestablish this contact. And this will inevitably happen because you're going to keep plugging and unplugging your phone from the charger which is what created the issue in the first place.
If you know you have big, sweaty, idiot hands (like me) that are going to destroy your phone if you take it apart (like me) and you can tough it out: more power to you. The other alternative is to buy an external battery charger and a second battery. The disadvantages here are pretty obvious (e.g. you have to carry a second battery around; if you forget a second battery, you can't ask another Android user to borrow their phone charger, etc.).

HTC one mophie case problems

This will be my third case I will be returning to best buy. Two of mine (black) one of my wife's (silver). All of them having the same problem.
Randomly stops charging.
Won't charge.
Won't show indicator battery leds.
until I plug and then unplug the case then it's back to normal.
I emailed mophie on the issue since I couldn't find any similar issues on Google and asked them what I can do to prevent it or what I am possibly doing wrong.
They just send me an automated response telling me to file for a warranty claim.
So here I am asking if anybody else has the same issue I do and if they found a work around or any information. Right now it's just a really expensive phone case and the fact that I have to plug it in to activate it defeats the purpose of an external battery case.
Thanks for your help.

There are two other threads in this forum about the mophie case already, both of which describe this issue (I returned mine for good because of it). There doesn't seem to be a real fix for it: there are just apparently a whole lot of bad units.

I have gone through 3 cases all with the same issue. I am headed back for case number 4 later today.

My first one had this issue. Got it replaced and the one I have now works perfectly.

Yeah it's REALLY annoying. I've gone through 3 cases myself and the problem never resolved itself. The only way I can use this case is if I never put on the top, which is stupid but I deal with it because I don't want to carry an external battery. Has anyone pulled off the top plastic power button and have it still work?

That's how I fixed the first one I had before I decided to exchange it. It works fine but it becomes annoying to push the power button on and off with it recessed like that.

I Ordered One From There Site Around $60 When it Come To My Door They Wanted And Extra £37.00 For Handling So I Rejected It, The Bloke Told Me At Morphie I Will Get A Refund For It Once The Item Has Been Received Back, 4 Month Later I Submitted A Support Ticket Asking If Had Been Received Yet, Then They Replied With The Exuse That They Do Not Receive Items Back They just Get Abandoned, So Now I'm Roughly £50.00 Down And No Case

same issues here
I am about to return my second Mophie juice pack for the HTC One. I am having exactly the same issues; the juice pack randomly "forgets" it's charged and ceases to function, unless I plug it into a power source, at which point it "wakes up" again, but then it will stop working AGAIN before it has even used all its charge. What's ironic is that I have been a huge fan of Mophie products for the iPhone, having bought several of them for my wife's phone, and they've never had issues like this.
Mophie really needs to come clean and issue a press release explaining that the juice pack for HTC One is faulty, and they should issue return labels to EVERYONE who has bought one, as a gesture of good faith. Many other companies out there are catching up to Mophie with battery cases of their own, that are of inherently better build quality. Sorry Mophie but you stepped in it this time.

As you can see from my previous posts my Mophie case was working fine for me............until I updated to 4.3. I am now having the same issue stated by many of you. It randomly forgets it's charged until I connect it back to power and then sometimes it just completely loses all charge and needs to be recharged. Seems it isn't a hardware issue but some sort of glitch brought upon by specific OS versions.

I realize this won't help much immediately anyway.
But the Verizon HTC One just got its' 4.3 update.
It does not include Sense 5.5, it's only Sense 5.0, but to get to my point:
One of the fixes in that OTA's changleog, was a fix for the Mophie Juice Pack.
So it would appear that HTC is aware of the issue and I would assume any OTA's that come from here on will include whatever fixes they are now implementing to reduce these issues.
Just thought I'd pass along that info for whatever it's worth.

That's the update that broke my Mophie.

Oh I assumed you were on a different carrier based on your signature...my bad.
As not all updates of the same Android version are the same across variants.

This is a conforting thread to see here, being that I have just ordered mine and it is coming in monday.
If MHL dosent work with the thing on, i will probably return it. I think i saw someone confirm that it wont work on Android Central Forums- I hope they are wrong.
EDIT: confirmed... The mophie case does not work with MHL.. I guess they were to cheep to add the 4 extra pins to the damn case.. I'm sure the iPhone version has all 32 pins on it

I'm using a T-Mobile HTC One that already has Android 4.3. But that's beside the point; the issue is with the Juice pack, not the phone or its software version. The juice pack "forgets" its charge when not even in use (power button turned off), therefore it has no interplay with the phone's software, so the problem is not related to phone software version.
Oh and FYI I'm now on my FOURTH HTC One Juice pack from Mophie, and it too is faulty. I did an online chat with Mophie tech support and all they did was issue yet ANOTHER return label, and did not acknowledge any awareness of this issue occurring with other HTC One Juice pack owners. So we have the corporate mentality at work, which is to say "never admit that your product is faulty."

I've had 3 bad ones that I picked up from AT&T. I stopped at Verizon and all of theirs worked perfect. The AT&T ones had extremely short connectors, the ones at Verizon had connectors the same length as the connector on the USB cable. The difference was clearly obvious.

Possible HTC One mophie solution
Hello all,
I have read all three threads on the mophie issue for the HTC One, as I was having the same issue with my new mophie; not charging or intermittently charge, top was hard to push on, and mine even seemed to have the micro usb connector misaligned. Seems as though something was not connected correctly internally on the mophie. I decided to take apart my mophie case and found that the male micro usb connector that connected to the phone had a broken plastic support bracket which cause my intermittent issue. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined and do not care about the mophie warranty, here are the steps that I took to fix my mophie:
Tools needed: Flat tip and Philips jewelers screw drivers, double sided tape, super glue (or gorilla glue), double sides tape, and some non metallic spacer (I used tape folded over a couple times)
1) Slide the flat tip in between the 2 lays of plastic and pry them apart carefully, I started by the mophie's camera hole for the HTC one and worked my way towards the other end.
NOTE: You might here some popping and cracking, this is due to the ultrasonic bonding process used.
NOTE: When prying toward the micro usb with the flat tip be aware that the battery starts just below the camera opening.
2) Once both pieces feel separated pull firmly on the plastic that has the mophie serial number, try pulling different direction, understand that some resistance will be there due to the double sides tap between the plastic and the battery.
3) Once battery is fully exposed pull battery out slightly to release double sided tap on the back side of the battery, while simultaneously pulling micro usb toward the top or camera opening of the mophie case.
4) Locate micro usb plastic support bracket, removed 2 Phillips screws to access bracket.
NOTE: At this point is when I had to repair the plastic bracket in mind with some gorilla glue. Be mindful that unless u want more work u still have to work with the usb connected to the circuit board.
5) Reinstall phillip screws and place spacer between plastic bracket and micro usb.
6) Following steps 1-4 in reverse.
My mophie works like a champ now! And the tope even fits without having to force it! Hope this help someone else out. Please see atched pics for clarification purposes.

My first mophie works perfeclty and has no flaws. Wish I had that luck with my phone LOL.

SOLUTION
Hey guys! So, I disected my case to see if I could manually fix the problem and I figured out what the problem was. The little micro USB inside the case is getting pushed inside and so when you try to plug in your phone it never fully plugs in.
So, the easiest solution would be to take a pair of pliers and very CAREFULLY shimmying the USB plug out. Then, it should work like a charm.
Also, to prevent this from happening from the future, when you insert your HTC One into the case push down the bottom part of your phone to insure that it slides onto the plug without pushing it down again.
And just another problem I experienced with this case was the built in power button. I found it was pressing in my pocket and also when I put the top part of the case down the power button would stay pressed. I simply sanded the bottom part of the built in button down and that fixed it.
HOPE THIS HELPS!

What's the difference between this and the 6600mah batteries with rubber case? Both seem to have decent cases.

I don't like that awkward battery shapes, not the bumps of the replacement doors. I'd rather have the case to simplify it.

I just got mine yesterday. The case it pretty nice, and I like it, but the thickness bothers me personally. It isn't too bad, but I like a slim phone, so I'm using this case as a portable charger.
Here are some details:
PROS
Convenient
Can use phone freely while charging
LED on back that tells case's approximate charge level
VERY easy to take off or put on
Case is very solid. I haven't attempted to drop my phone, but the case will definitely do some protection.
Redirects the speaker to a front facing one with little loss in quality.
NFC still works, unlike many of the larger batteries with custom back plates. I tested NFC with the case on and it worked perfectly fine.
CONS
Just about doubles the weight and thickness of the phone
Case must be turned on to start charging
Once phone reaches 100% charge, the case turns off. Once it does, it seems that you can power it back on again and keep the phone at 100% for a few hours. It's just a tad bit annoying that you need to do this.
Same thing as above, except when unplugging the phone+case from a power source. You need to then power on the case.
Overall, OP, I suggest you getting one if you need the battery and can live with double weight and thickness.

I genuinely appreciate you're feedback.
This seems like a well balanced unit. What is the standard charge time of the case itself?
I know the case doesn't allow data+power but just power. Does it have a passthru to charge the phone even if the case is on the phone itself?
You mention doubling the size, would this be with a case on it? Something like a normal tpu case then doubled? Or really just two phones?
The case is able to charge your phone how many tines?

I cant give an exact time frame, but it's just slightly longer than charging the phone from 0-100%. The case also supports fast charge (according to the manufacturer on the Amazon page).

Youre right in that the port only supports power. No pass through to charge just the phone and not the case. However, if you plug the phone+case in, the phone charges too, but I think it's technically charging from the case as the case charges from power.
You mention doubling the size, would this be with a case on it? Something like a normal tpu case then doubled? Or really just two phones?

Two phones. MAYBE two phones if one of them had a slim TPU case on and the other didn't.
The case is able to charge your phone how many tines?

Not sure about exact number of times as I don't use this case daily. I only use it as needed instead of swapping batteries or plugging in to a portable battery charger. The case is 5000mAh though, so it should charge the phone 1.5x (roughly). So with the case on and phone and case at 100% charge, you should have 250% battery (roughly again).
Sorry for some of the vague answers. Again, I don't use this case as a daily driver because I don't care for the thickness. I only use it if I'm going on a trip or the phone is being used a lot more than usual.

I genuinely appreciate you're feedback.
I cant give an exact time frame, but it's just slightly longer than charging the phone from 0-100%. The case also supports fast charge (according to the manufacturer on the Amazon page).
