This is the second device I have had from o2.
The first one I took back because I found that just charging by the AC adapter did not work. I now have another device, and I left it plugged in to the AC charger all night (confirmed it was charging). Woke up this morning, and the device was dead to the world. Soft reset and it woke up with low battery. Plugged back in to AC, and the charge light won't come on again!!
2 devices in a row?? Is the XDAIIi known to have charge issues?
Cheers!
Any ideas on this? This is my 3rd XDA IIi!!!
This one worked for about a month, and now it's stopped charging by just AC. I can charge via USB but this takes ages in comparrison!!
Surely this must be a fault with the XDAIIi ?
Try
I have the same problem sometimes but am able to charge after removing the connector from the Xda IIi and the plug from the AC supply socket for about a minute or so.
Works everytime.
An idea
Hi!
I had the same problem a few month ago. What I did - and it worked - was leaving the XDA running. So I left the screen running. Just turned off the light of the screen. That way the XDA charged correctly.
But if that doesnt work, just try to put your AC cable in the cradle. That way you can charge your XDA via USB but with power from your plugs.
Give it a try!

Is there a fix for the USB (no)charge bug??
Are you using an xda1 usb cable?
I'm using the BoxWave miniSync, it says "xda" on it, but BoxWave who sold it to me as an adaptor for the XDA II say it's the same, they also sent me the following email today:
"We are aware of the issue, and it is not a problem with the miniSync as you
may suspect. The O2/XDA II has a software bug the prevents charging from
low current sources, such as USB. If you have a unit that has the
attribute, you should contact HTC or the brand which your XDA II is made by
and request the bug fix.
The problem does not exist in every XDA II, which is why HTC did not make a
public announcement regarding the bug. We have done in-house testing to
confirm this, as our wiring structure is identical to the stock connection,
with the only difference being the incoming power current levels."
I've got one's, wried as :
+5v -> pin22
UDC+ -> pin 14
UDC- -> pin 15
GND -> pin 18
it can sync on XDA II, but can't charge when battery less than ~60% from USB port (more battery is ok).
Do I have to change GND to another pin to force my XDA II charge?

I have tried the usb charging on 2 pc's. On the first one it started charging very slowly then basically stopped charging as I used the device.
On the second machine it charged very well regardless of whether i was using it or not. I was also activesyncing on the second machine.
I bought the Pocket PC Tech's Lil Syn, which is very similar to the BoxWave product, and the USB sync/charger drained my battery.
I read BowWaves response that only some MDA2 or XDA II have a problem with this, but what I find interesting is that I can charge via USB on the cradle regardless of how low my battery is, but I seem to have issue with the Lil Sync product.
Why would this be? Is the cradle more powerful than the PPC Tech or Boxwave products? That does not seem likely.
It seems if the cradle does charge, but these other products do not, then the problem would not lie with the PPC Phone-2003.
USB Sync & Charge cable.
Okay.. I was a little Pissed when my cable wasn't working, so I started looking into the differences and found that ground was going to Pin2 on my sync and charge cable, where my stand alone charger didn't have that. So I snipped the wire that went to pin 2 and walla, it charges now.
I still am having problems getting my battery pack to work. It's a pack that takes 4 AA's and is supposed to charge it too. It supplies more Volts than the USB, but it won't start the charging process. I'm going to try and wire it more simpler to my USB Sync/Charge cable and see what happens.
Let me know if this helps,

as ive replied saying on other posts......
XDA 2 charger kicks out 2Amp max XDA only does 1amp max
most charging assesories are XDA 1 compatible only yet people say they work on the xda 2 means they have found out they plug in simple but they dont kick out more then 1amp as usb ports can only handle 1amp max.
thats why it doesnt charge it might charge if you turn your device off and disbale activesync from waking the device up but it will take twice aslong to fuilly charge maybee longer but if the device is awake youll find that the device is using up more power then the usb charger can give out so in otherwords your device will die instead of charging itself up.

I have a standard xda1 sync/charge cable and it charges my xda2 regardless of the amount of charge left in the battery, and it does it very quickly too, I think it is a bug in some of the xda2 machines.

Hi: can you provide your pin configuration for continuous charging while idle or being used.
I have this adapter that came with my xda2, is the wiring correct for use in a car adapter charging? Thanks.

do you have a pin config for your second m/c. Thanks.
Further to my earlier post, my xda2 now no longer charges from the usb sync/charge when the xda2 is low on battery, this only happened since I got my first "low battery" warning, I put it on charge, looked a few minutes later and it had gone from 10% to 7% battery power.
Hi all, pls look at this post... the non-charge issue can be addressed... http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5438

Hi
I got a usb cable from expansys and tried to charge xda II via usb. It doesn-t charge. The orange light turns on and power settigns show "charging" on the label, although, it does not charge.
The first thing that i tried was to see if pins 16,17 or 18 were having ground. They do! Although, pin 5 is not having it.. should it ?
Do you see any other reason for not charging ?
thanks!
Is the cable specifically a 'sync and charge' cable, or sync only. Unfortunatley, not all cables will charge the device.
Also, is the cable for the XDA II or the XDA? It seems there is a difference.
They are specific to xda and xda ii, i bought a sync and charge lead from ebay a few months ago and was told it works with xda and xda ii but it only syncs with the xda ii, if you try and charge and xda ii with it, it actually discharges it a fair rate of knots !! even though it says it is charging
yes it's a usb charge and sync cable
the diferences between a xda I and xda II on charging is that in xda II the pins 16, 17 or 18 need to be connected to GROUND.
I already verified this....
I'm thinking it's the firmware. My battery is 0% and it does not charge. I heard rumors that some firmware could only charge by usb after 30%
i'm having 1.66. Anybody confirms ?
I dont think its the firmware - Im up to 1.72, and still experience the same problem. Got to be the cabling I think.
ok...so let's see the cable
hum.. i really think the cable is correct, but let's see:
PIN 17 is connected to usb ground (-)
Pin 13 is connected to usb power (+) (5v)
do i need pin 5 ?
i know i read somewhere that ping 5 is not used on xdaII. correct me if i'm wrong..
yes it's the firmware!
And yes.... i still think it's the firmware. I got the carge working when the battery is charged more than 50%
If the charge is under 50% it does not charge. any clue ?
With my sync and charge cable, it works well if my battery is above 10%, if lower than that it wont' charge. I have used many types of sync&charge cable, it's got the same problem. The difference is only the cable stop charging on how much your battery left.
I'm sure for firmware because IPAQ could charge by USB cable when battery is 0%.
I 'm not experienced with the PIN connectors of both devices, but a friend got me a sync & charge cable from USA and it works perfectly for both XDA and XDA II ... unfort. I don't have its brand name, but this proves it's available.
My phone won't charge from a mains charger, it will charge from USB (Very slowly) and an in-car charger but not from mains. I bought another charger just to check that it wasnt the supplied HTC charger being faulty, and that doesnt work either. When i plug the new charger in the wall the charger lights up, when i plug it into the phone it doesnt light up.
The phone will charge fine from USB and the car charger, but when the phone is turned off it wont charge from USB. When i got the phone i thought i had charged it from the mains for 4 hours like the manual said, but im now thinking that it didnt charge as i didnt notice the LED lighting up. I'm wondering if by not charging it properly the first time i have damaged the battery.
I just tried the mains charger for my Jabra BT headset and it charges fine from that, but only at USB charging speed. But it charges when switched off unlike USB. I'm wondering if maybe i have done something in Advanced Config, i have enabled all the power saving settings.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what i can do and what might be wrong.
I haven't seen anyone else complain about this, so it might just be a small defect or isolated incident.
I always charge my phone during the night while I sleep and just recently woke up to find the phone only at ~70%. For some reason the AC adapter seems to be malfunctioning. Since the issue has started, I managed to get it to charge to full one night, but the rest of the time it seems to stop charging. It recognizes it being plugged in initially but then it pops up with the notification saying that the charger has been unplugged. I've tried reconnecting both connectors which will sometimes get it to start charging for 15-30 seconds before it shows as disconnected again.
It works fine via USB connected to a computer so I can only assume it's an issue with the wall adapter. I'm not sure if there's much I can do if it is an issue with the adapter but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas that would be worth trying before I give up on the adapter. Also wondering if anyone else has had this happen.
I don't have that problem. Call and get it replaced. All you news is a USB AC adapter.
Have you checked the socket you are plugging the charger into? Have you tried a different wall socket or socket on the power strip?
Are you using a Motorola brand wall outlet and usb? I was using an aftermarket cable and had this issue. So I got a branded cable and now it's fine

i had same issues
my atrix would only charge also to 70% so i was about to return it. i forgot that it also came with a stand alone battery charger to charge just the battery. charged it and then put it on my atrix and said 100% again. hope this helps..
Yeah get the wall socket and make sure that's not the problem. Also I can't imagine it being the cable I use a 15 foot after market cheapo cable I got off newegg for like 3 bucks and it charges my phone all the way and I don't even use the wall adapter moto gave me I use some random one that's for one of my old phone or my nikon camera I don't remember. Also moto cable is crap it doesn't let me use adb doesn't seem to push enough power to my phone.
But thats just my 2 cents

Use the cables that come with the atrix.
Problem solved.

I went out of town this week and made sure to grab my USB cable, but left the AC adapter at home figuring I'd just charge off my laptop via usb. Apparently not... I also tried plugging the USB cord into my iPhone AC/usb adapter with no luck. The only thing I've found is that when you turn off the Tab and connect to one of these devices, a green battery indicator will pop up showing that it is charging. Well, after about 16 hours, it made it from 15% all the way up to 48%. Does anyone know any way around turning it off to charge or why it is barely charging when it is off?

Well seeing as it has a 7000mAh battery, just about any run-of-the-mill USB charger isn't going to cut it. The amperage would have higher as well. Now i would hazard that an iPad charger (10 watts) would probably work just fine vs an iPod charger.
Your laptop's USB port isn't providing enough juice to charge fully. With the screen off it will only trickle charge and very slowly at that.
You'll need at least 5 Volt 2 Amp chargers.
You can also try this:

Or this:

I've ordered both last week but neither have arrived yet. I'll report back.
You need a 5vdc supply that will provide 2A. 10W, not 5w as the previous post said. That adapter on ebay won't help the charge, it just disconnects the data line so it does not change its mode when connected to a computer. There are a lot of power supplies that will work and even more that won't, just made sure it supplies 2a. If you want to charge off your laptop then you will want a Y adapter similar to what is on usb powered hard drives but even then you will need to use 2 usb 2.0 or 3.0 ports and will provably only get 1a out.
