Hi guys,
my beloved qtek 9100 is having some weird behavior since last week: i let my battery drain to 9% and then recharged. The phone would not recharge it, showing a red led. After lurking and learning about this problem on those devices I made a "starter" with three 1.5v batteries and gave the battery the necessary tension to start recharge cycle.
I thought that would be the solution but no: the phone kept stopping recharging at 25% or, the next time, at 75% with no apparent reason. Then, i tried many solutions like directly charging the battery with a cut usb cable, with the stock charger, with powered on phone, powered off phone, etc. No clue.
What leaves me shocked is that the battery, even when at 75%, drops suddenly to 0% after enabling the radio module thus killing the device...
An important note: same behavior with two different batteries...
I'm going nuts...
Problem still unsolved. Today i left the device recharge at 100% (took about 3 hours), detached it and tried a rom downgrade. Obviously it died at 50% of rom upgrade procedure. Sweet...now it's almost bricked, bootloader screen and recovery procedure to be done
What could it be, an hardware failure?
Hi there, same problem here: I have the phone with two batteries, on half a year old, one brand new. The batteries DO charge on another phone, but after a regular charge is gone, my phone never gecharges the batteries. It might be the charger circuit? If not HW, is there any chnce to do some SW stuff?
Unfortunately this thing s just a brock now ...
Bye

It's good to find someone with my very same problem...although i've got no solution, still!
Is there someone out there who knows how much would cost a fix and if it's an hw issue or not? Would it be possible to fix it via DIY?
Thanks in advance
Someone suggested me to test the current output on the main contacts to see if the device is actually supplying power to the battery.
So i plugged the wall-charger on the device, took a multimeter, checked the output: the device is supplying 3.5-3-7 volts. So, i suppose it is correctly charging. Why, then, after a turn-off / turn-on the charge level drops after showing as completed?
Could it be a sw problem, then?
USB voltage is 5v. If you are not getting 5v on the USB plug coming from that charger, then that is probably your problem. Have you tried using a USB cable to plug it into your PC to charge?

Thanks for the hint
I suppose the problem is another...in fact those 4 volts are coming from the battery itself. Pluggin in or out the power plug doesn't make any difference.
I tried taking out the battery and there's no power coming through the main contacts of the phone. Is this the right way to check or should i use some different method?
Thanks again
Last question: is there someone who could show me where the recharge circuit should be on the mainboard? Have you got any information about the ease of a diy repair and about the price / availability of the spare part?
Thanks in advance

Are you using the wall charger or with the PC. Cus you will get more power input from the Wall. As so i dont know the reg key off hand but if you change one thing you can make it so your phone does not charge off the PC. Maybe you have found a new one!

With both the wall charger and the pc usb plug. Checked the registry key and no way, it's ok.
It's really incredible, the total charge cycle takes a couple of hours, like if it were charging regularly, but after unplugging it goes down. It is like if the "carge counter" or similar records the charging, with the battery actually not receiving power.
did you solve your problem yet?

I have tried charging my XDA Trion (Hermes) via a USB 12 car adapter. There appears to be charge to the cable, but the XDA is not charging.
Th ebattery level was low, but I charge dit up to over 40% and it still didn't kick in.
Any ideas ?
TIA, Davebo.

There is an issue re. in car charging when the device only charges when off. See the link in my signature and find the section on charging problems. May or may not be relevant to your case. Some leads have a slightly different configuration regarding earthing which can cause problems.

Mike,
Thanks for the reply. I think it is how the pins are set up. Apparently mains chargers uses different pins to synch cables.
In the end I had to boot up my laptop and charge the handset off the USB (same cable!) from that.
I have ordered a car cradle, which I will need anyway. Hopefully, that will have the correct pins. (Or it will be going back!).
Cheers, DBo.

matey i bought a car charger from ebay only a few quid- an it charges the device while the device is on-
if you still need another charger I can try searching for the one i got from ebay? let me know.
Ta
N2h,
Ta very much, I already have one on order though now.
I went for one from the same place I got my Wizard one from (PDAMods). It was about £25 + P&P. The upside is it will fit the limpet-like screen mount I have. (The standard ones are typically rubbish IMHO).
Thanks anyway, DBo.
weird
I have found that it doesn't charge oif it is 'on' and that I have to do a soft reset before it will work whenever I change between plug and car. It drives me mad.
Faria's WM6 ROM had a fix in it for this - the HTC original ROMs do some sort of checking for a particular pin to be grounded, and if it isn't, it doesn't allow a charge. But if you turn the phone completely off, or soft reset, it works for a while until you disconnect or put the phone in standby. Nobody knows what Faria did to fix this, but I can verify that suddenly my old car charger worked. Unfortunately other issues in Faria's ROM made me move on a to a more stable software version.
Last friday the battery of Qtek 9100 over totally. I was without the charger and USB cable to charge de battery. I charge the cell only in friday night. But any led turn on and the cell phone doesn´t turn on too. I put many hours to charge, but the cell phone still doesn´t turn. What can I do to fix it?

The retention charge of the battery shudn't go below 20%,it seems that the battery has fully diffused of charge,it won't charge with usb cable and pc,cuz its charge output is only 0.5 amp.It'll only charge with the wall charger with an output charge of 1.00 amp.Get it charged with a 'Wall Charger',hope it'll work out,otherwise,you might have to try the "Jump Start" trick.Take a usb to mini usb cable and cut the mini end off. Strip the black and red wires, plug it into your laptop or desktop usb port and touch the black to the negative terminal of your battery and the red to the positive. Hold them in place for about 20-30 seconds, place the battery back in the phone and it should boot and then charge normally. Somewhere on this site you will find this information and a couple of posts from people who used basically the same technique with a nine volt battery,where,a wall charger is cut off in the same way and "Jump Start".
Good luck !
My friend, you are simple the best. You are my hero. I lost one USB cable, but my phone come back. Your "Jump Start" trick worked perfecty. Really thanks about your tip. I don´t have words to glad you.

I'd like to know if is it possible update ROM by RUU with Windows Vista? I download a ROM S.N.N_ver._2.0 and tried update, but gone a error when the process will begin. Is there a way to fix?

Its much easier and trouble free to flash with WinXP and its recommended highly,as winVista still has some compatibility problems.So I advise you to flash with winXp OS.
But some people have successfully flashed through winVista,you need to download some drivers.check out this link,there are complete instructions for flashing with winVista :-

Thanks one more time and sorry to annoying you...
I LOVE YOU !!!
Thanks more than a lot
Jump start trick worked fine for me too !! I cut the wire off from old usb mouse and use it as informed.
I just cant understand how it could be so that if you let the battery power too low or empty the wall charger (5v/1A) will not begin to charge it again ???
But my battery is alive again and I m happy, thank you !

It's just a design flaw. Sometimes things get by engineers. They're too busy trying to create an interesting user experience, and they forget to cross t's and dot i's.
This worked for me as well!!!
Thank you so much, dude... helped me resurrect my Wizard who'se been dead for like 3 months now!!!

my qtek 9100 freezes at startup after jump starting.
I jump started my Qtek 9100 and it started up as normal but it freezes at the windows mobile loading screen and doesnt go any further. Does this mean its charging or is the battery completely dead or something?
Wow, it like totally worked but Then I let it charge but battery stays at 0%
Thanks for this thread.
My word am I happy ...
Worked like a charm...
You are my hero! mi Qtek is alive again, i bought a cheap wall charger for a V3 Motorola and it can charge my Qtek after a battery drain off, i tray a lot of things but the usb wire cut off solve my problem and im happy again, thanks a lot and greetings from mexico! Saludos!!
Thanks man it was worked for me,
I was trying to put windows mobile 6 but after that mu camera and voice call buttons doesn't work
If you know more about win mobile 6 on wizard pls help me
Thanks
please do not use stripped USB cable or 9V battery to resurrect wizard. the battery is rated 3.6-3.7V (?? cant remember)... use 3x AA(A) batteries or other 3-4V power supply. I've done this with old pc PSU which has 3.3V output.
Just put battery in, connect charger, connect + - cables while inside wizard - bootup - when windows is loaded device can charge itself - disconnect resurrection power supply.
do not try to charge li-ion battery with whatever currents/voltages... or at least wear some kind of fire protection
hey everybody!
i'm writing to know if anyone else had this problem. my nexus 4 doesn't charge anymore.
it never had problems about the battery but tonight, when i tried to recharge the phone it doesn't start. there isn't also the initially battery icon.
i've already tried different cable and the problem doesn't go away..
can you help me?
thanks in advance

Well I had with my old phone the same problem but I recognized that there was some dirt in the charging port of the phone.
I removed this with my nail and it worked again.
Probably it won't help you but you'll never know
Try connecting the charge cable to a USB port on your computer for a few hours. You may not see anything right away but eventually the phone will begin to charge.
i got this issue few days back..the charging was slow..cant even reach 100 when im on the phone..its pathetic..swap with my old lg phone model cable bam!the old cable built was much rugged compared to nexus 4..
I have exactly the same problem - when it ran out of power today, it switched itself off normally, and then when I inserted the cable, it didn't charge. not even the battery animation thing came up!
I hope somebody can find a solution.
Oh yeah, and I checked in the port for dust, and used countless alternate wires and power adapters

When you run the battery all the way down it takes a while to start a charge. Just leave it plugged in for a while and it'll go. I'm not sure if it does this every time because I don't drain my phone to 0% but it has happened before on my old phone and I've seen it happen to iphones as well.
Same problem

Did you ever find a solution or send the phone in to LG? I'm having this exact problem right now. I've tried three different micro USB wall chargers for hours at a time as well as charging it through the USB port on my computer. I get absolutely no charge and I have never had any problems at all until last night when it simply would not charge.

Try pressing the power button and immediately the low volume, wait like 3 to 5 seconds and it'll restarts. Not the first time this happens to me and wish to know what's going on! don't know if there's an app that's doing this or hardware issue...
Try cleaning the port like mentioned. There's videos in YouTube

ahh this problem...i had the exact same problem with my gnex...its just that the metal plate of the micro usb port of your phone has bent down a bit which is why it doesnt charge...the easiest way to fix that is to take something flat and lift the metal plate gently..not too much otherwise you'll break it...just lift it up slightly and it should charge normally then...Hopefully :fingers-crossed:
Good morning folks, I have a strange problem with my galaxy note 3.
Since a few days, he would not charge.
When I connect it to the charger it does shows the lightning bolt on the screen, also in the menu it says Charging.
But the % are decreasing instead of increasing
When i connect it to my computer it's fully functional reading/writing also reconized by KIES.
1. First I thought the battery was broken, but this was not the case.
I put the battery in another note 3 and he just did it to charge.
2. The charger itself is not broken, the cable either. This just works with the other note.
3. Charging synch port replaced the phone, problem is not going away.
4. I have set up a custom ROM, it does not work.
5. Returning to the original stockrom
6. Carried out by phone shop Moisture Treatment
But the problem is not solved.
Should I start thinking about a motherboard problem here?
Or maybe you know something I can try.
Thank you very much in advance.
Greetings Johan

There's a Charging IC on the mainboard, that maybe is the solution to this problem.
