hello everyone!
after upgrading to bigstorage my jam discharges when plugged to the charger instead of charging!!!
it charges normally through sync cable.
any ideas???
thanks!
Upgrading to BigStorage has nothing to do with your battery problem as myself and so many other users have done so without having such experience. You have also proven that by saying that it charges properly with the sync cable. For sure there is a short circuit in your charger causing it to discharge the battery. Check for dirt inside the usb connector of your charger.
Well, I've BigStorage too, but I haven't got the same problem. Maybe you should check what zerimar said, and if the problem stands still, you should buy a new charge cable.
One question:
Before the BigStorage, the charger worked correctly?
thanks for answeeing!
yes, before upgrading everything worked normally.
when i plug the charger the orange light lihgts up as it should and the in the power screen it says 'çharging' , but it doesn't charge!
i've cleaned the cables, the battery and the sim card but still the same.
everything else works perfectly well.
Well, I guess the only thing that hopefully will help is to do a hard reset.
hey...i got the same problem. i even tried hardreset and the problem still there. there is nothing wrong with my charger since my charger works well with other magician.
i think the main problem is the magician unit itselves. i just dont have time to return it to the store since my life depends on it . well at least it still charges with sync cable.
ok now i'm mixed up.
i did a hard reset, downgrated to the previous original rom, but the problem is there.
it isn't the charger because when the backup battery reduses to 50% with charger it gets back to 100%
so my charger discharges my battery but charges the back up battery.
i did a lot of search, a few other people had similar problems but no solutions
found!
Try to fully discharge the battery in a natural way by leaving your unit on then charge again. Do not use your charger to discharge the battery. If my memory serves me right I think that's what some posters adviced.
I still believe that there is something wrong with your AC charger. If you have the possibility of borrowing a charger, or go to a shop who sells Magicians and ask if you could quickly make a test.
thanks a lot!
i'll try now and let you know!
discharging the battery did not work.
now i'll try the new ac adapter.
if it does not work then i'll just curry my laptop with me!!!
thanks for your help!
new ac adapter and everything works fine!\
thanks everyone!
Glad to be (and others) of help. Nice to know that everything is working fine and that you're happy.

Hi, my phone went out of battery during the night.This morning Ive connected to the chsrger but it doesnt charge,i havent got a 2nd battery and when I connect it to the usb nothing happens!!! Why it isnt harging? What do I do???. Answer me as fast as possible please. [email protected]
have u tried the wall charger or using a different usb port
Original charger and patience
Are you using the ORIGINAL charger and are you LEAVING IT FOR a while. If the battery went completely flat it takes some time for the MDA to recognise the charger (no light then all of a sudden it starts charging) . Don't know why. I'm not a techy but I'm sure someone here will tell you. Frightened me when it happened, but I'm sure I found the above answer on these pages.
Try taking the battery out and in again then try a different charger as it is more likely to be the charger/socket than the phone.
Another suggestion is if you have an old charger that you don't need, chop the plug off it, expose the wire and hold them to the correct battery terminals ont he battery. IE. positive to positive, negative to negative, the terminals are labelled on the battery.
After 5-10 minutes this should have jump-started your battery and your device should work and it should now charge.
Yeah - i had to do what Paul said, and it worked. TO be honest, I didn't expect it to.

I had this happen to me as well. I tried 4 different chargers, in wall and via usb pc cables. Eventually I took it back to Cingular and they told me my battery "failed" and gave me a new one for free.
Helloes guys and goils.
I have a HTC wiz, and for a good few weeks now I have had problems with it.
First off, It would NOT charge through the Wall Socket OR USB, I let it run down over XMas and it's not been the same again.
It just will not charge or come on.
When I plug it into USB it looks as if it is charging, with the Orange light and The power bar turns to the socket looking thing, but when I leave it to charge it just goes off and doesnt come back on.
When I plug it into the wall socket the HTC does not respond.
I have been asking my mate in work to put it in his and charge it via HIS wall charger, which has worked a few times, but I seem to be getting a very awful run out of my battery.
I am thinking it is the phone and NOT the battery as i first thought, I dunno, im scared of throwing up £30 notes on a new battery only to find it is the phone.
What do you guys think I should do?
I heard somewhere that it is a SOFTWARE based charge and not a hardware based charge, what does that mean?
DO u think a flash would help it? I cant see it myself.
Or is my HTC just goosed?
Well
I can speak from experience when I tell you my wizard nuked 2 batteries...
how I dont know.
Hopefully one of the gurus can shed some light on your situation

If you do replace the battery, look on eBay - I got a new 1250 mA battery (there are also 1100 mA versions, don't get that) for $13.99US including shipping - works great!
Make sure its nothing simple... Try the USB cable plugged directly into the computer without using a USB hub (if you are) and different USB ports on the back of the computer. Also try different outlets for the AC adapter. If still nothing else I'd even ask for help from your local cell phone store (put on a sad face) and see if they'll lend you a power cord and or swap out batteries to see if they can reproduce the problem on a different Wizard, battery, etc.
There has been many posts on this subject with several different fixes.. i would suggest searching and reading and you can find your answers
My case
Hi,
I had somewhat similar problem with mine. My porblem was that I bought the Wizard with a Motorola charger. It had the same mini usb plug and when I plugged it to charge, the led on the wizard was orange and the Wizard indicated its charging, but the moment I unlugg it, the battery indicator was coming back to its previous state. My solution is to use the PC USB to charge it, on a couple of occasions I had the battery completely drained and had to "jump start it" by connecting the wires from the usb directly to the + and - of the battery. Even used once my good old AA Ni-MH charger to jump start the battery and it worked.
So perhaps you are not getting power from the cable, why not try with different charger or charging from another USB source (PC).
Hope this helps
Just happened to me tonight. Thought that my Wizard was toast as well.
I merely took the battery out for 10 minutes, put battery back in, and plugged device into original wall charger. All is well now.

I received my HD yesterday and did what it says in the book: charge the battery right away. Within a few hours the battery was fully charged. So far so good.
But much later in the day after heavy use of the phone, the battery was again drained and when I attempted to recharge it the charger simply would not work.
Has anyone encountered problems with the charger?
Im sending the phone back to the supplier Play.com

Maybe you just need a new battery....ofcourse if you don't mind the wait..send it back for a whole new unit. New batteries can be funny. Its best to leave it charging even though it says its fully charged. Let it charge for more than an hour after it says its full on a brand new battery. Battery performance will get better after a week of charging.
Dont think battery is at fault
Thanks for reply utvol06.
Dont think the battery is at fault. When I connect the phone to my PC the battery charges OK.
Johannes.
I had same prob....
Make sure the 3 pin adapter is FULLY pushed into the charger and try again
Fully clicked into place
Yes it is fully clicked ito place. No luck.
Sounds like the charger is banjaxed
I had the same but by resetting (i.e. unplugging & replugging) the 3 pin adapter from the charger fixed it.
I would send it back
Hi!
I sent my charger back to Clove and they will send a replacement.
USB connector to charger was wobbly.. and I had apply traction to the cable to make the contacts work.
I tried a different cable in the charger and also tried the charger in my Kaiser.
Conclusion, USB connection on charger unit was duff.
Ofiaich

Same problem
hey my treo charger broke and even if i bought a charger with the same V and mAmp specs it won't charge... anyone has the answer?
If you're sure the adapter is 1A then try soft-resetting the treo pro. Mine sometimes doesn't want to charge from generic chargers unless I reset.

I have the same issue. A few weeks ago it use to charge if I did a soft reset. My it will only charge from the car charger and not the dc usb charger. I have tried a few things that ppl have suggested but no luck. When it is plugged into the DC usb charger the red indicator light comes on but it will not charge even if I leave it charging like that fro 5 hours.
Appreciate any help or suggestions. Has anyone had this issue as well?
this has happened to me... i unplug then replug. works with normal palm charger. others seem to be weaker than the stock charger

i know that if you cover up the 2 middle pins betwwen the battery and the phone that disconnects the phone part.. and the battery can charge.. but even this is a huge pain. i love my phone but grrrrr.
Treo Pro car charger
Like so many other people, I have a lot of problems sourcing a compatible car charger. (Had a Palm one and it was crap before it stopped working). The suggested idea of shorting out the two middle wires on the USB cable actually works OK but it's a fiddly job.
An easy answer is to buy this charger. I guarantee it works as both a mate and I bought one and have no problems. It's actually advertised as being for the HTC Wildfire. At £3.99 inc. postage, it's a bargain
Unfortunately this site will not let me post a link
Go to Amazon and search for a charger for the HTC Wildfire. It is the one supplied by Cellapod

Hi Guys!
I have a problem with my Htc HD2, it doesnt charge! I installed windows phone 7 nand rom to my hd2, so the connection was made and usb cable is charging, have tried it with stock Htc Wildfire. The battery is ok, because i have a battery charger and the battery is charging.
Used Magldr v1.13.
Any help would be appreciated, btw have read several topics,but no solution has found.
I don't see a problem here.
You said it doesn't charge and then you said it charges.
And the battery charges from external battery charger too.
Where is the problem?
Edit:
lol, after reading again and again I finally found your problem. But using correct grammar and correct punctuation would've made this a lot easier
Make sure that the battery pins on your phone are ok, also check the usb socket on your phone and make sure it's not faulty or malfunctioning

reading comprehension ftw.
Anyway, I had a similar problem and I found that it was the pins connecting directly to the battery, the three little ones you see when you pull the battery. Make sure there aren't bent down and smashed too much. You can still get the battery to supply power, but it wont take a charge. Anyway, hope this helps.
I had the same problem, HD2 didn't charge, the orange LED just flashed and battclock reported a temperature of 250°C. Problem was the middle battery connector, it was bent behind the battery and so it had no contact. Remove battery, try to carefully get these three connectors in correct position and try again.
Thank you so much!!!!! I thought my phone was dead then I checked this. You are my hero!!!!
I had the same problem and it was driving me crazy. I tried putting the stock ROM back on, WinMo 7, charging with the computer and USB and nothing worked, I still got the red/green blinking LED and the battery died. I bent the middle pin back to normal and now everything is working as usual.
It works for me
thanks ... joshwake
nice ICS on hd2
