took it to a repair center but they want to substitute the mainboard and the price was even higher then what i paid for the phone, this cause i don't have the guaranty.
i know a bit of electronic, does any one got an ideia how to fix it?

ATT 8525 - Wont Charge / Connect through ActiveSync.

Hi everybody.
I don't know, what is going on with my Att 8525.
I bought this earphones for it like 3 months ago, and they do work. I mean, the audio is coming out from the USB Connector.
But, when I plug it to my computer, it does not detected at all. I plug in to power and does not charge. But if I connected back to the earphones, sounds comes out.
I already try to do a soft reset, delete everything, and start from scratch, but it does not wants to charge or connect to Activesync.
If there is someone, that can help me, please tell me.
I'm guessing here, but it seems to me that the constant use of the EXT port (via inserting/removing your headphones) has possibly damaged the EXT port internally (ie dislodged it from PCB). I believe the ports on WM machines in general tend to be a major point of failure due to the physical stress due to insertion/removal
I had a 2.5mm port on my HP rw6828/Atom clone fail on me after using it for a while to connect my headphones.
The thing is, I only used the Headphones one time.
I was at work watching some comedy show on my phone. So battery was running low. I close down everything, disconnected the headphones and connected to my works computer through USB, but then Activesync didnt detected nor the phone.
So i reseted the phone, and try again to connected to the computer and yet still didnt want to connect.
I went home, and tried to connected to laptop as well, and the charger and nothing. It didnt want to charge at all.
So I had to buy a battery charger to charge the battery, that's the only way to charge my phone.
If you have any idea, what's going on, please help me, to resolve this problem.

If after a hard reset the problem persists then:
As suggested above, it is likely a cracked solder joint on the USB to motherboard OR a bent pin in the phones USB port. Check this with a magnifying glass.
Mike
thanks for reply..do you have any idea where can i fix if it is problem with connection to motherboard
Perhaps if you say the city/town where you live someone might be able to suggest a shop that does repairs without sending your phone away.

I don't know but does anyone in Tampa know of a shop that does on site repairs?
Mike
thanks...will enquire it..
will the phone charge with the wall plug, or only fails charge connected to computer? I had a problem with the computer once, I just went into device manager and uninstalled the USB hubs, they reinstalled fine afterwards and work great (have to do this every few months, probably because I never use the safely remove crap)

HTC touch charge problem

when i connect my phone to the charger/ usb cable it does not charge or connect to the pc. woul dthis be a battery problem or a hardware malfunction? also my phone is flashed and i have no battery life left, so i am unable to reflash to the original rom and send it for a warranty.
anyone know how i could fix this?
PS: thankyou in advance
Hi,
i have the same problem. Suddently, my touch dont charge anymore. Connector is dusty but seems ok, the touch boot but low battery. Any idea ? Have you solved this problem ?
thanks
Here is a solution, to send for warrenty, get a new battery from ebay.
Flash to stock rom and 2.x HardSpl and IPL and send back to warrenty.
I did that for mine.

Talking about your port, You guys can try to look for parts online and DIY it.
Are you guys sure that it is not the cable / adapter causing problems?
Didy ou try to charge directly using a travel charger (not through PC) and also try another cable another usb port in the PC or another PC
Yeah, i've tryed to plug it directly to AC charger, but without result, and my touch isn't warranty anymore. I'll try to open it but i've to find first the right tool !
I think that it could be a loose or burnt connection in the motherboard or the hardware cables which links to the charging port.

Elfin won't charge at all

I got my elfin for about 3 years now and today it stopped charging. It won't charge at all with any usbcable nor the wall-charger. The led doesn't turn on. I think the usb jack is broken, but all the pins seem fine. Does anyone have any idea what to do?
If you say the USB jack is gone? did you try conn ur elfin to the computer? is it getting detected?
remove the battery, wait for few minutes, put it back (DO NOT TURN ON ELFIN) and put on charge.
If the USB jack is really broken then you can use a universal battery charger and transfer your files and activesync via bluetooth (only slower)

That didn't work. The computer doesn't detect it at all, I've tried several USB cables.

Well yes, that is the only thing I could think of, but I have none of those. They are fairly expensive to try if you're not even sure.
May be that light is not working properly.
Jus chk whether u see "Charging" in Power settings available in settings -> system.
If it says charging then ur light might have a problem.

I can't check anything, the battery is empty. That's why I think the USB is the cause and not the battery being dead, because it was already near empty when I saw it 'alive' for the last time.
I have the same problem.
Is the battery broken or the phone?
tried another battery
same result
now i'm waiting a tattoo
omg...currently my elfin behave the same way...unfortunately i don't have any other battery to try on
is it possible that your elfin one day just completely stop working? no life whatsoever???
i just can't charge my elfin at all...and yes the battery completely gone
what to do...what to do... *sigh
My Elfin did this last year. The problem for me is the contact pin used for charging in the mini USB jack on the bottom of the phone was squished.
If you look at the bottom edge of the phone with the screen facing the ground then you should see 5 contact pins along the top edge of the mini USB connector. The contact pin on the far left is the charging pin. The contact pins are springy. To fix mine, all I did was use the point of a small pin and gently pried up on the charging pin so it was more exposed.
Hope this helps,

Same problem on my side
In actual fact, when I got my fist elf, it only worked for a month then the screen stopped working. A quick stop at the distributor and a new unit was supplied. The new unit lasted 3 days and would not charge. After spending many hours swapping cables and trying other chargers and batteries, i came to the conclusion that the charging circuit had been damaged. I had the device replaced with another brand new elf and lo and behold, 3 days later, it wouldn't charge again. I took all I had back to the distributor and had everything replaced with new ones, from cables to charger to phone. I got home, flattened the battery with video playback then charged the phone again. To my dismay, it refused to charge. The broken device was returned again The distributor got so sick of seeing me for the same issues, they took my kit, and replaced it with a new elfin which has been working perfectly till today.
My guess is that the HTC devices have a very low tolerance to electric fault or spiking through the USB which causes the charging circuit to malfunction. All in all, my elf was repaired twice and replaced 6 times with new units in the first year alone. My elfin on the other hand may not be the most feature rich phone on the market but has certainly been my favorite.
Hi all,
same problem here. The power-pin just broke off. I'll try to mend it and report here.

HTC HD2 charging problem

i am new to all this windows mobile thing .. bought a used hand HTC HD2...
thing is i tried to connect HD2 with charger but there was no charging sign on mobile screen... after that i tried to connect it with my USB and cell phone starts charging...
turned off my cell phone.. reboot again and now when i try to charge my cell phone through USB wire nothing happens.. Windows Mobile Device Center shows that my cell phone is connected with my PC but there is no charing sing on my cell phone.
I have a extremely basic idea of what you're trying to say. So you tried to hook it up to a wall charger, but it didn't charge. Then you hooked it up with a USB cord and it started charging? Now it wont charge through USB at all? Sounds like the USB port on the phone is busted.

thats right.... but if USB port is broke then why Windows Mobile Device Center shows that is connected with my PC :S
Sounds like a faulty USB port on the phone if a wall charger wont even charge it.
Just to be sure, go to the settings tab in Sense, click on About Phone, then Battery, and make sure that checkbox that says 'When phone is on, do not charge the battery . . ." and make sure it's unchecked.
already unchecked that option. if USB port is faulty why WMDC showing it is connected with PC?
Only the power part, and not data, is dead?
I would take out the battery & check the pins that make contact between the phone & battery incase they're damaged or bent.
Also could be a faulty battery or loose connection on port?

i was thinking the same thing had it happen to me before. the middle pin was bent up a little i just bent it back and all was well from there.
last night i left the phone... now in morning i just changed the Sim and connected again and now its charging...
I am confused because i cant pin point the exact problem...

all these problems i am facing is it because of rom
Hardware:
QualCOMM(R) 8250B
Speed 1024MHz
RAM 448MB
Flash Size 512MB
Software information:
OS version 5.2.21864 ( 21864.5.0.81 )

The HD" doesn't actually show a large battery charging animation across it's screen when it's charging - instead you just get a light illuminated on the earpiece speaker so it's not that obvious that it is charging compared to other devices.
HTC HD2 Leo Charging Problem
If youre having charging problems then my best advice is to remove the sim card and charge it.
It works that way for some reason. I tried everything from trying different chargers and different usb ports. I tried plugging it in to a computer but nothinig seemed to work. So i removed the sim card for no reason and plugged it in and booom It worked!
Hope This Helps​-Drian
htc hd2 charging problem
strangely enough,removing the sim card actually allows the phone to be charged....weired
thankss
some slight oxidation (not visually detectable)
For those people where the phone charges without SIM Card:
Since SIM Card is so close to battery, could it be that the contacts of the battery are not making good contact?
It looks like fumbling around with battery helps with your problem.
Have you tried charging with SIM Card and just fumble with battery?
Looks like you are suffering from poor contact between phone and battery. Perhaps some oxidation?
Another solution/test:
Take soft normal pencil (no colouring pencil, B, 2B or softer) try colouring contacts of phone and battery with pencil taking care to "stay within the lines"
This does two things: leave a residue of carbon, which favors making contact and scours slightly removing slight oxidation and or grease, removing that favors contact too.
Similar Problem
I have the same symptoms BUT the device charges under Windows Mobile and NOT Android. I have had the android os crash last night when I didn't know that it wasn't charging and just now it was at 40% and I had it plugged in and did a battery pull to find it dead. Looks like Desire v5 isn't allowing it to charge through USB. Very disappointing situation.
Thank you guys
I woke up this am to a dead phoen that owuldnt charge unless phone was off a quick search and this thread sorted.. I love this website..
To me it all sounds like a bad contact in the micro USB on the phone. I have personally a problem with this and I found this by moving the plug slightly during sync as it cancellers the sync and restarts it.
Now for another problem I have in this direction; I always charge my phone from USB and this gives me no problem, but every now and then (1 in about 10 charges) the phone is locked after disconnecting from power or it switches on OK but after that does not recocnize my password and the only way to get “in” is a hard reset (battery out). Is there anyone had a similar experience or knows a solution.
THanks guys i was thinking i may need to pay money for fixing but it works fine because of your help
Hi all,
After flashing the ROM v.3 Hyper-CM7 XMAREX my Leo does not charge the battery more.
The LED lights up, but the battery will not charge.
I tried the original ROM, but Windows is almost the same thing.
The LED lights alternately red and green but the battery does not charge.
Any advice?
Thank in advance.
Hi guys, i also have a problem with my HD2.
My USB port is broken and i brought it to several shops to fix it but they couldn't fix it.
How can i fix it myself? (And by myself i mean my own dad)

[Help] USB not Recognized! and Phone Charging is very very slow.

I have been facing the issue of slow charging from 3 days now. It takes 9-10 hrs to charge completely. Interestingly I just plugged my phone to my PC and USB not recognized pops up every time. I tried changing USB Cables and Chargers , nothing helped. I think these two issues are closely related and some chip is blown up inside. Any idea if what could be causing this?
Use custom kernels
you find the solution ???? please help me if u can !!!
Same issue happened with me when actually Imy phone was bricked,I changed and used other usb cable,then I got solved my issue,then after 3 months,tht cable stopped to work only for my mobile (works in other mobiles still),so I have to keep changing cord n adaptor for fast charging,now iam currently using Moto turbo charging,n from 6 months it's working properly,n never use phone while charging
if pc says that the last usb you plugged is malfunction... than thats the problem with me also.. i guess phone usb port is damage some how... coz my phone also takes 5hrs to charge and pc plug say usb malfunction
You need to get your motherboard change if usb charging board is not seperate. i experienced the sam eissue on my zenfone 5, i did a thourough check, even bought its psu and relaced it. turns out its motherboard was buggy and a slight water drop on the cable mouth caused this issue. better get it replaced if its still in warranty else you will have to buy a new mobo.

I have same problem you have to change mobile usb charger connector i.e. charging port of mobile. then it will be solved.
Dude do these 3 :
1.check with another adaptor, along with ampere app make sure charging is 2A
2. Change the usb configuration, dont charge from pc it chaarges slow bcoz its DC
3. Change your rom, use custom ones or reflash whatever u r on.
