XDA 2 Say Always Charging

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8348&highlight=always+charging
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.

up
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?

My wizard doesn't start up anymore

Hi,
I have an unlocked wizard (MDA Vario) which worked perfectly for several weeks.
It was switched off, I thought because of an empty battery. I attempted to restart 3 times but it hanged during bootscreen ...
But the big problem is that nothing happens when I connect it to my pc to recharge, it doesn't even seem to charge when I connect it to the adaptor to recharge
So if it's a hardware failure, I cannot return it under warranty because in this situation I cannot relock it .
Can anybody help me out pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Stoffel

Im having the same problem... alomost.
My bettery died and then it wouldnt start or charge. I was told to take the battery out and grab an old charger and expose the wires and directly apply the wires to the battery. It worked but my 9100 died again beofer it could fully boot and it still wont charge. I have tried the wire to battery charging method again and it doesnt seem to work anymore.
You may want to give it a try??
Out of curiosity, what ROM do you have installed?

Thanks to Dalamario the problem is fixed ...
He provided this link with an easy solution for this very annoying problem . I really thought my device or battery was defect :shock:

HTC Elfin Battery Problm

hello Elfiners, i have a problem with my elfin here, i just bought it 3 days ago, and my battery always show 100%, but a minute ago my phone suddenly restarted and cannot enter windows CE, after i plug in the battery charger, the LED show orange color for about a minute and then go green again, and the battery like always, shows 100% charged, is there any solution for this problm, (i'm sorry my english is bad)
thx before

You mentioned that the device was bought three days ago. Is it brand new or used? When you take the phone off the charger, does it still show 100%? Might be a faulty battery. Try with another battery if you can.

yup, this one is new, i unplugged the charger, the battery still show 100%, i've been thinkin the same, but these days are big holiday in my country, so maybe i'll give ut a try tomorrow

Battery broken?

Hello
I have bought a old Qtek 9100 from a friend with a broken touchscreen (LCD is intact) so I "unlocked" him and i thought to charge it I can use my net adapter from my palm. So I charged it for 1 night and the orange led was on this morning. I wasn't rlly awake and the phone didn't went on and i tried getting the battery out and putting it in again but couldn't start it up :s so this noon I came home and tried it again and I saw the splashscreen and IPL version etc on my screen but then it went black. If i charge it now the orange LED isn't on now. Can some1 tell me what has gone wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I don't known what charger you have but all HTC devices charging with 5 volt and 1 amper (1000 miliamper)!!! If the battery fully discharged you can charge only with this charger.

Er, I took out the battery for a night and then put it back in and it started but then yust stopped, now I can charge it again, so I think it's fixed
Edit: God damnit, I waited to lang after I fixed it to charge it so now the led isn't burning aswel :s

Ok, I took a look @ my charger that I used (from a palm z22) and the output was only .25 A :s I tried different methodes found on this forum to recover my phone but none worked (I was able to boot up my phone and connect it to my laptoppy but it just shuts down after a time of inactivity and it tells me it is charging but it says 0 %...)

Ok This is really interesting: you can only charge youre phone when there is a SIMcard in it :s

HTC Touch hd Charging Problem

Hello
I have a problem with my HD. For some reason i don't know i cannot charge it while the phone its still on.The only way i can charge it its when i switch it off.i tried changing the rom to wm 6.5 and 6.1 again but nothing.
if someone knows please help me.
thank you

I have the same problem. very weird.

Have you tried to reset the phone (shut down and power up again) while it's still plugged to the loader?
That helped with my old phone but i'm not sure if it helps in this case.

Is that using the charger or from the PC?
If it's the latter, ensure that Settings/System/Power option "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC" is deselected.

You are a lifesaver!
This shoould REALLY be a F.A.Q.
I would also like a word with whoever came up with the function. When would you ever want your NOT to charge your mobile?

I suppose if your testing a roms battery strength you may not want this function.

Still no charging
I too am having problem with no charing. I have had this problem twice now.
First time (as phone is not under warranty in Australia) I took it to local repair who said they couldn't fix it... long story short it went back to china, came back fixed... or so I thought.
It did the exact same thing, battery died in few hours, then when on charge it would sometimes show steady orange LED on power button for 5-10 seconds then go off and never charge, or two it would blink orange and green for some time and not charge. Now it wont turn on and is only showing orange light for 5-10 seconds.
Also, I read around and found that there is different miniUSB cables, some don't charge and some do, would like the great knowledge of this forum to fill me in on this rumor.

Really weird
It is really weird. I had the same problem. If I put the phone on charge either with charger or with USB cable on PC the charge light blink on orange and green and the phone not charge the battery.And this happens for 2 days. I went on another computer I plug the phone in the USB and curiously it begin to charge (orange light) and fully charged the battery. It also charge on mains. It is really weird I am still investigating this.....

I found this page http://www.htcrepairparts.com but I don't know what is the problem of the phone, só I don't know what part I have to buy.
If is the motherboard I think that is too expensive and is better to buy a new phone.
Please help me.

I bought a charger from a web site for my Htc HD2 and I can olso charge the battery of my Htc Touch HD, now I can sync with pc but it still won't charge.
Mybe it's a problem with the rom.

It's not a charger problem, because on de pc won't charge either.
And yes we can charge the hd with the hd2 charger and the oposit way too.
The only diferent thing is the cable, the charger is the same.
I thing that is a problem of the rom.
The error is showed when I power on the phone, and it's .net compact framework error.
I changed the wm 6.1 to a wm6.5 cookey rom.
The BsB tweeks olso reports an error, missing files.
Should I change the rom?

look, if you cant charge, you rather find a solution quick, or you kill the battery and then need to buy a new one to use the phone. but did you try another cable? keep changing ROMs till one works...

I think you didn't read my posts or you didn't understand it, because I said that I bought a new charger for the HTC HD2, it's a universal charger and I have to take the battery of the phone to charge it.
I maneged to charge the batery of the HTC Touch HD with the same charger, the only problem is that I must take the battery of the phone to charge it.
The problem with the HTC touch HD is that when I put it to charge plugged to the pc or to the electrical supply he won't charge, the led starts orange and then goes to a blinking orange and green, and don't charge.
Now do you think it could be a rom problem?

oh sorry for that, my fault but how do you charge the battery without the phone, do you have a dock or anything? Cause Im not really understanding...
