MDA II Will Not Charge Unless Laptop Is On

Hi folks,
Love my MDA II, but I can only get it to accept a charge when my laptop is turned on. If the unit is not plugged into USB or the laptop is not on, it won't charge.
What am I doing wrong?
Finally, I have noticed the last few days that the wall AC adaptor has not been plugged in, yet the MDA has been charging through the USB when the laptop is on.
My question is what is the point of having the AC adaptor if it serves no purpose.
I rechecked and pulled the USB and plugged in AC adaptor. No charging takes place.

you are doing nothing wrong. the power thru the usb port comes only when the laptop is powered up (whether the AC power is on or not ).
In other words u can
1. charge it from your laptop's battery but the laptop has to be turned on and it does not matter if the AC power of the laptop is plugged or not
2. you can charge the XDA directly thru its own AC adapter, independent of the laptop

The AC adapter does have a use, you can either use it in conjunction with the little square dc converter that you get free in the box to charge up the xda without the cradle, so you could have the cradle at home and tyhe AC adapter at home if you wished, and if you plug the AC adapter into the cradle you can charge an aditional battery, as the additional battery can not be charge via USB, Maybe xda developers may be able to frig the cradle to charge the additional battery in the future (hint hint)

USB Sync & Charge? Is it possible via USB Port?

I just bought my JJ and haven't put my hands on it. So pardon my ignorance, but can it be charged via its mini USB slot? The reason I ask is because I saw many sites advertising Lil'Sync cables for charge & sync. When looking closer I noticed that had a PDA2K type connector on one end and a regular USB on the other?
Any comments?
Cheers

Hi
The USB port is the *only* way of charging the JasJar!! Unless you buy a dock that charges a second battery as well I suppose.

In other word's, you DO recharge the battery when you sync the Universal!

I can tell you with full confidence thhat the device charges when you plug it into your computer with the USB cable as I have had mine for nearly a week now and I still haven't taken the charger out of the box(!)

yeh it does charge through my USB from my pc, getting it to sync is another ballache that I still can't work out.

I sync with my PC via Bluetooth, it's so convenient. Never used the cable since XDA IIs +IIi and never have any problems with BT syncing whatsoever.

HTC cradle - is there a way to connect charger and sync cable?

I got the HTC cradle today and I was a bit disappointed to see that you need to have the cradle connected to a PC to have it charge and sync. You cannot connect the charger and the sync cable at the same time... is there a way to do it? I just want to be able to put the Pro in the charger in the evening and if my pc is on, sync at the same time

So what's the problem with that? Just connect the charger to your computer and it will charge, and it will sync if your computer is enabled...

It will not charge if my computer is turned off...

Use one of your onboard usb port which are always on (even when the pc is off). And if don't have one, you should get a new motherboard which supports that feature

USB hub with external power supply?

You could try the HTC Multifunction Audio Cable YC A200 or HTC Multifunction Audio Cable YC A300.

I ordered this same one instead of Kidigi model found on Brando. Figured I would just unplug sync cable and plug in AC adaptor that I keep on night stand?

Guys if you have a desktop PC chances are the usb ports are powered even when the pc is off. You can also check for this setting in the motherboard BIOS.

this is how i charge mine and sync with a desktop in my room. Laptop USB ports aren't powered on when the machine is off, though.

I have two laptops... The USB ports stay on when the laptops are in standby mode. If the phone doesn't charge, plug it in before closing the laptop lid (standby).

Official charger stopped working

I flashed my HD with Dutty's Extreme 2.6 using the SD card method but i did it while it is connected with the official charger. Now the phone won't charge with the official charger. It could still be charge via USB cable connected to my laptop and also from usb cable to a/c plug that i bought of ebay. I have tried connecting a different usb cable to the official charger but it still won;t work. The charger it self is not broken as it still chrges my diamond.
Anybody can suggest any solution?? Radio update perhaps??. Such a waste of a fine accesory if it doesnt work

[Q] G2 charging problems

Anyone got the same issue?
I cannot charge my G2 via PC or laptop USB. I am using a different cable though.
I've read somewhere that the needed output for a charger to work is 2.0amp, but this is already a USB connected to a computer!
If the charging doesn't work, that means i cannot connect it to the PC at all since it was never detected.
Is it the cable that has problems? This cable that I was using was still working perfectly fine yesterday with my other phone though.

Unless it is usb 1.0 it should only be the cable

computer and car charger not working
Me and the wife have LG G2 from Verizon and our phones will not charge from the computer or using our car chargers. Also, two of my 3rd party wall chargers will not put any charge on it. It thinks it is charging, but it doesn't and the percentage continues to drop. Very disappointing.

I don't know where you got the 2.0 amp from, but it's wrong. The charger that comes with the phone is only 1.8 amps, so you don't need a minimum 2.0 amps to charge the phone. If you plug in a lower amperage cable, you should get a warning that it will take longer to charge and you should use the charger that came with the phone. Haven't tried plugging into my pc yet. I should probably do that now to transfer some ringtones....
