I have a same problem before. But im update my device rom to 1.72.00 (Imate Rom) (Before my device have a 1.72.00 T-Mobile Rom) that problem is gone until my charge going %15. After that not blinkin Orange light is coming (thats normal for charge is about 10-15% but) also Setting > Power say charging and My XDA think its charging. Im not plug in my device anywhere (Cradle, Power Charge, USB Sync) but its always thing charging and charge is faster dropping to zero.
I dont understand anythig about that. After that i plug in my USB sync in my notebook and recharge it. After my battery full (100%) im unplug the sync cable from my device and nothing change. Its still say charging
After this i decided (i dont know why i think about that. please dont ask ) i plug in USB sync cable and plug out on my PC (Cable still plugged in on my XDA 2) and device gone normal. And unplug sync cable from my device. Orange light is gone and Settings > Power say Battery Mode.
Is there anythig wrong that. I think this is totaly software error bu i dont know.
Thank you for your advice.
My case was different. No matter what I did, the device ALWAYS thought it was in charging mode. I sent it to the repair centre twice and the device gone back to the problem again after a while. They said the connector pin has been in short circuit and so it thought it was charging. They also accused me of damaging it. I asked them why it would be so when I use it normally, the staff said 'Machine is like that, nobody can gurantee'. I was angry and sent several rude mails to O2. Upon some negotiation, they changed a completely brand new model to me and the problem did not happen anymore. I have used this new one for several months in exactly the same way I did with the old one and nothing untoward happen. That proved the old one was not damaged by me!
Sorry for being long-winded and yet could not solve your problem.
Anyone can help?
My device still have a that problem.
Im looking lights now and its some time say charging and some times not.
Please help
Thank you
always charging
i still have same problem :!:
anyone? help?
omg, this is exactly what my problem is. My XDAII always thinks that it is charging even though it is not plugged to the charger nor the usb sync cradle. And the amber LED light is steadily lighted like when you are charging, battery life of the XDA has dramatically gone down, it wont last me 3 hours or so and yet it is still on standby mode. I had reflashed it with the latest ROm available, 2.06WWE i think, and still after that, after the cold reboot, the problem was still there. Anyone has a better solution to that? Im planning on returning my unit for servicing if the problem cant be solved.
i have same problem , help me now
This will be less likely to happen when using usb cable rather than cradle. If you get a magifying glass you may be able to see the short on the pins and possibly nudge it back into position with a very thin sewing needle or similar.

i have exactly this problem too (
I´ve the same problem since yesterday with my T-Mobile MDA², it´s Rom Version: 1.72.01GER (6 months in use without problems), Rom Date 03/16/04, Radio 1.17.00, Protocol 1337.28, ExtRom 1.72.170
The yellow light is always on and the batterie runs very fast out of energy (1-2 hours) and it´s always says charging and think it´s connected to AC power...
any fix to this problem?
or what happen now to those who have this problem?
I have this problems too!!! How to fix it?
I tried the charger of the Vario, the charger of my GPS, ... I removed and replaced the battery,...
I have the feeling the battery "decharged" completely after which it's not possible anymore to charge it ... (if should think this is not possible).
On the other hand ... let's say the battery is dead ... is it then normal that the "charge led" doesn't lightt up?
I hope so because otherwise it's not a dead battery but a defect in the Vario and as it's unlocked I cannot return it under warranty (cannot relock it in this situation).
This device is just a couple of weeks old ... :x :x :?
I think I read someplace that once the battery is DEAD, you can not charge it via USB and can only charge it with the charger. And once you plug it in, you have to turn it on for it to charge.
Or something like that...

Problem indeed.... Firstly, I wish I could offer some constructive solutions, but afraid not.... it does sound like a worn battery, and maybe worth trying (or borrowing) another one to flash?
I take it as you refer to it as an 'Exec' that it is the O2 branded one? If it is, from my experience with the O2 technical support, they really don't have a clue. I would assume that they would send an exec straight to HTC for testing. It's a complete last resort, but if you were to tell them that your unit was dead and they were to take it in, they wouldn't be able to solve the problem before they sent it back to HTC. This is of course after you have clarified it's not just a dead battery cell.
Best of luck with the thread and hoping someone a bit more experienced can help.
So, let me get this straight, your universal does not turn on (and by turn on I mean that you see the familiar wm5 screen with your apps, etc.), no matter what have you done, and the only way to have the charging led on is by connecting it to USB port with the battery removed?
If this is the case, you might have a dead internal battery charging/power supply circuit, i have repaired some old Ipaqs with this failure, most of them failed due to a defective battery, easily recognized by overheating when the unit was placed in charge, usually the overheating increased slowly in time (months usually).
I don't want to be misunderstood, but all these devices have a way of turning of the LCD backlight, a long pressure on the on button does this, it can restores with the same long pressure, see if this is not your case.
If you have some electrical problem with your PDA you might take it to repair or you could try to do it yourself -if you're able to do it obviously-.
Anyway, try to get yourself another battery (you might ask for it to someone else with a uni), put it on and see.
I'm also assuming that you have tried to hard reset your device.
good luck

Look maybe this will give you some hope. Yesterday I took my Htc Typhon (smartphone) after a long time, the battery was die. I tried to charge via usb, and nothings happened, then I tried to use a usb charger and nothing happened neither. Finally I charged the battery alone on an universal battery charger and after 30 minutes my phone was alive again.
Hope it will help you!

thanks

This is something I've had happen in the past.
Try taking the battery out, and put it into a ziplock back, and place it in the freezer for a few hours. I know, I know, it sounds ridiculous. But sometimes, just sometimes, it will reactivate the cells, and you'll be able to charge it after that.
well done o2 uk
well as said before took my phone back to the O2 shop and sent it off to the service centre. The report came back that the main board US .not only did i get a new exec but But a new boxed one and a full set of all original parts !!
i had this problem when i first got my SPV m5000..i took it to the orange shop...(the people where nice) they kept it for few testing and said...
battary was faulty...so they gave me a new battery XD
hi all,
hope someone can help.
For the last few months my Atom has been , lets say "tricky " to charge.
The red LED will flicker on and off, and sometimes it will be on, yet not charge.
On inspection , it thinks it is sync-ing, but connected to wall charger.
Manually ending sync program will fix this,but strange.
Is my Atom on the way out ?
The USB connection needs wiggling to get to work .
I have replaced the battery , so thats not the problem ,
and help/sugestions would be apreciated ,
cheers.
running WM6 exec rom , but had same problems with MW5.
Anyone ??????????????????????????

Same Problem with the battery
Hi, everybody. I'm the new guys on this forum. I need some help. When I use the internet function to download file or something around 40 minutes, the battery cannot be charged. At the first time I taught the battery has broken or the usb cable. So I bought a new battery to try download file again but the problem is the same cannot charge the battery. The conclusion of this problem only when I download file, if i didn't download no problem the battery can charge normally. Did somebody ever get this problem? I tried to upgrade rom but the problem is not solve make me add problem. The new rom make the atom life always hang so I downgrade the rom. Please help me btw sorry my english is very bad Thanks
I have been unable to boot up my letv 1s device, I have tried everything listed on this forum and other forum to boot up my letv device. Including removing the battery and reconnect them back again.
Recently, I tried to repair it to local phone repair shop, they told me it needs a battery replacement. I bought the battery from aliexpress and replaced them, but it still doesnt boot up.
The repair shop gave up and gave me back the phone and told me the EMMC is weak (I'm not sure about this).
I disassembly the phones and try to figure out the problem, I am guessing the problem might be with the charging board, I am posting the video here hoping someone pro could help me solve the problem. I'm guessing its the charging board because everytime I connect the device to the PC, it kept reconnecting when I tried to FLash a new ROM.
Here are the video of the board kept reconnecting when I tried to connect them to PC

I really hope someone with more experience could give me more insight about this, thanks.
PS: Please dont ask me to charge the phone again with original adapter and cable, because thats the first thing I tried and I charge it for more than 24 hours already (I even tried to buy a new adapter and usb type-c cable). Oh and I tried connecting to PC with the battery connected also, and it kept reconnecting.
Hi, I also have same problem, but still no solution.
Hi @casper2201 , @softkans and any one with the same issue,
I too had the same issue. It started with the charging rate becoming too slow (1% increment in 25 minutes of charging). I switched off the phone and left to charge for around 35 hours straight and came to find it 79% charged. Then I tried flashing the LOS14 after LOS13 ROMs but in vain. I also fiddled with the Kernel Adiutor, still no help. The charge won't increase when the phone is on so I left it to discharge until it switched off. Then the main issue showed up with red light always on when charging and blank screen.
I also posted about it here, but no one replied. Then I took a leap of faith and went to a local repair shop. He confirmed that it was a hardware problem and the charging module needs to be replaced. Just now I am coming from the shop itself after picking up my phone. Its working fine till now *fingers crossed*. He charged me ₹1300 ($20) which is a little high for the service but it doesn't matter as he was the only one ready to open it as there was the risk of cracking the screen.
So, summing it up, if you have the same problem as that of mine then you need to replace your charging module and I think it will be fine.
Charging module replaced.
Current condition of phone.
The rubber bands will help the adhesive strengthen.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Yesterday when I was done with setting up my phone, I put it to charge and the same issue has come again. Its not charging and the "Red light of Death" is back. Today I'm going to the repair shop again and see what he can do now.
I think this is the end and there is no point throwing away more money on the device anymore.

Sir same thing happened with me....phone is not charging red light alert and display blank...please suggest me what can I do
I want my data back from that and its not starting my data is really very important I can't loose that
Help me and tell me what can i do so that my data will not loose and my phone starts
Remove display and disconnect battery. If it won't be alive again that's probably power management unit problem and you won't fix that way.
