Hi, My X1 will not charge when connected to the adapter that came with it, and not when connected to my mini USB hub, which is use to charge other devices.
Needless to say, I have tried different cables and so…
It only charges when connected to a PC directly.
I have tried the different USB-to-PC modes, with no change, I have tried a few ROM’s, with no change.
I would love some input on this…
/a
is the hub a powered hub?
mine is and my x1 charge just fine
if it's not powered then everything connected to the hub share the 500mA max power 1 usb line can provide
which would explain why it dont charge
try and restart it, take out the battery and put it in and try to see if it works then.
It's a powered hub, yes. It "used" to work without problems.
And I have tried rebooting, removing battery, flashing another rom, etc etc, with no luck.
/a
The hub is USB 1.1 or 2.0?
my external harddisk "WD Passport" doesn't work when connected with a usb 1.1 extension, while works great when connected to usb2.0.
[OT]Does X1 charge and work with ANY miniusb cable or just the original SE one?
I can confirm that the mini-USB cable is standard. I currently have 3 (one on the mains unit, one on my home computer and one on my computer in the office) in use and they all work perfectly.
Mine wouldn't charge from the mains yesterday, but it's fine again now. Curious.
mine had some problems with charging in the beginning. but its working now, there is something fishy with the charging, havnt had the time to look at it
It's really strange. I worked great the first two weeks i had the phone, then completly stopped.
Now i can only charge with my PC turned on.
/a
I, also, have noticed some odd charging behaviour.
On occasion, i have noticed the battery life has been very short. It seems to coincide with strange charging results.
Once or twice, now, i have had the phone plugged in to the mains charger, overnight, and it has had less charge in the morning than it had the previous evening.
I am trying to figure out any pattern, but up to now, it evades me.
I'm hoping for a firmware fix, as i have several minor issues with the phone. There was a rumour that a firmware was being readied for a xmas/new year release. Patiently waiting, cos i adore this phone.

Greetings,
2 weeks ago I bought used Qtek 9000 and since I didn't have any problems until I had tried to recharge it by regular AC USB recharger from the wall outlet.
I'm stuck to my PC every day so I didn't have a need to recharge it that way, when I connect it to my comp recharging works fine.
I thought that maybe that recharger was broken so I had bought new one but still I cannot recharge my phone from the wall.
I tried 4 different USB cables (every single one works fine between HTC & PC but with chargers - no go) and a few different outlets in my home but none of it work.
The ROM is Ranju v7.1 if that matters but I really don't know what to try else.
If someone knows what should I try next please suggest, I appreciate it very much.
Cheers.
Maybe your charger is broken. In fact, almost certain, since you can link up to your PC, so it can't be the port, nor the datacable. This means that it must be the charger.
Try measuring the voltage on the power cable's end, and if it shows nil, you got your culprit!
It can also be, that your USB-charger does not provide enough power to charge your Universal.
You should not simply take ANY USB-charger (i.e. from an mp3 player). Try to use one with at least 1A.
Cheers,
vma
Thanks for your replies,
I have two USB rechargers, the first I got with a device, (the guy told me that was the original but obviously he screwed me) that has 500mA only,
the second one I had bought myself is weaker, only 400mA.
I'll look for the 1A USB recharger, now.
Cheers.
lol i just found this out last night. its good to know tho that it need to be 1 amp. chears.
I had the same problem & found that one for a Motorola W375 mobile phone worked fine so, as said above, it is probably the charger
Totally stock (but i don't think it matters).
Plug the phone in, orange LED comes on.
Hold it or place in on the counter five seconds later, LED is off.
Had the phone since 6/4.
Anyone else having issues?
Are you using the AC charger ? I have two Evos and one of the chargers does what you are describing. The orange LED comes on and then goes off after a while and the phone stops charging. Does it on both phones, the other charger works fine with both usb cables.
Are you using the USB charger with a computer or laptop or plugging straight into the wall with an AC charger?
This does make a difference because if you are charging with a USB + laptop combination you could be suffering from the computer going to sleep and disabling the USB ports power to conserve laptop battery life. If you are having the issue when plugging into the wall, try plugging into a computer and selecting the "Charge Only" option when your USB debug comes up. Once it does this, allow it to charge for a period of time and then turn the phone off, switch to AC power plug and see what happens.
Perhaps you had some kind of over voltage spike on the charger through the AC plug. I could see it possibly tripping something in the phone to stop taking charge to protect the handset.
Also make sure if you do use a laptop, use a USB 2.0 or better port. More power and faster connection. Gotta love it.
Your charger may not be sourcing enough current anymore (for whatever reason). I have seen the exact same behavior with USB car chargers that were only sourcing 100-150mA.
Have you tried plugging the USB cable into a modern desktop PC? (Some laptops have reduced current ports, so a desktop is a safer bet)
Its definitely a current issue. I tried to charge my phone using my bluetooth headset's wall charger, but I got the behavior you are describing. The bluetooth headset's charger just doesnt put out enough current.
Are you using the charger that came with the phone? if so, you may want to exchange the charger...
im having the same problem when i connect it to my desktop, it sees it for about 2 secs n then disappears. My computer at work has no problem seeing the phone. i wonder if i need a driver or something for my usb ports, anyone have any ideas??

Probably not a driver issue, but that that rail from the power supply is either undervolted (say 4.6V instead of 5V), or can't provide enough current (amperage) or both. If I recall correctly, the Evo needs 5V @ 1A (+/- 3% tolerance).
Phone not charging
my phone has been charging fine since I got it... even been using the night desk clock app while sleeping at night for the alarm with it plugged in... everything was good...
With my phone about to die today, I plug it in to the wall charger, the led/batter indicator shows that it is charging... then POW.. it says I have a low battery and it needs to be plugged in... WTH??? it is plugged in!
The only thing I did today was flash the new boot.img for the cap fix over in Toast's thread...
Weird thing now is that I took my hero battery and put it in my EVO, plugged it into wall charger, and it stays charging... So, I put my EVO battery in my hero, plugged it in, and whola... it's now charging...
Please help as I am baffled.

that's your problem right there. that custom kernel is known to have charging issues.
I'm having the same issue with my car charger consistently. Plus my AC charger less consistently. For example, I'll go to bed and plug it in, the next morning I wake up and see the phone is at 80% charge and isn't charging. At some point over night, it gave up. This is with the stock charger too.
I'm on a road trip now and every time I connect the phone to a charger it switches it self off.
I have tried different cables and chargers. This also happens if I connect it to my Mac.
Is anyone else seeing this?
Thank you
Funny you should post this, today is the first day at work with my DVP and I tried to use a USB cable connected to my pc that charges my HD2 and SE MW600 headset, connected it to the Dell and it turned off just like you say. Probably not enough voltage/amps, I borrowed a BlackBerry charger and that works fine.

I noted this in my "Nit-picky" stuff post. Needs a 1Amp charger.
Same here.
The only charger that worked is the one that came with the DVP.
I tried the 1A iP4 charger, 750 mA of the Kindle, a third party dual 1A (each) charger, 1A car charger, 2.5A iPad charger and finally my computer.
None of these works, but if it has like 50% charge then it charges with any of the above...

It wouldn't even charge from your computer below 50%??

No...thats not true....But I have seen several different combinations work.
I have the Nexus 1, one of the Jawbone headsets, the HD2, HD7, DVP, and have access to the Focus and LG devices. All of these use the same type of cable.
The HDx cables, the Focus cable, and the Jawbones cables all work with sync and Charging. The LG cable does not...only works for the LG. Some of the older BB cables will only provide a sync or a charge...but not both.
The different USB charging adapters have different results also.
The DELL and HD7 adapter will work. They will work plugged into a wall or a power strip. The jawbone and HD2 usb adapter will not work plugged into a power strip at home, but, both of them will work plugged directly into a wall.
All the cables I have will work when plugged into a laptop, EXCEPT the LG. Apparently the LG cable I have access to only works with an LG.
Now to be honest, the HD7 shows no such reluctance to charge with any combination. The DVP does. My DVP does NOT require DELL only parts, but it is picky about what it will play with.
-My overnight charger is connected directly to the wall. It is a jawbone wired charger, no adapters or usb. All phones connect and charge ok with this.
-My Work office charger is a HD2 usb adapter with the HD2 charger cable.( which is strange because this one will not work at home plugged into a power strip.)
-My HOme office currently uses the Dell adapter plugged into a power strip with a generic sync cable. I say generic because I don't recall where it comes from...all I know its not the DVP or the HD7, because both of those cables are still wrapped up in the box they came with.
-My car charger is an ATT dual USB charger. It has last years model adapter, plus a USB connection. All my phones and head sets charge off of this combination quite nicely. I also have a Tmobile care charger but have not tested it yet.
There is definitely something different about the DVP and charging. I'm hoping Nicolas Cage will play the lead when this conspiracy is made into a movie.
the DVP will only charge with a 1A+ charger. the ones that come with BT headsets don't feed it enough to charge. USB cable plugged into a laptop USB port is hit or miss. The USB port in my car is 1.5A, charges the DVP really quick. I haven't found the make of the cable an issue, the DVP charges with any I've come across so far, HTC, BB, the cheap extendable cable from an airport, etc. it is picky about amps.
The cable is not the problem. I didn't mean that when I plug different cables it does not charge.
I have a charger hub which I connected many phones to it, HD2, palm pre, nexus one and few more and all of them charge from it. When I connect the DVP it shows its charging but in the morning the phone is dead, no charge at all.
BTW, it does charge from my laptop and desktop.
I charge my phone overnight on my PC and never had this issue

It will charge from the mac from 0... then when its about half charged it charges from any plug and cable combination
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I can't get mine to charge now at ALL..
Apparently it drained and shut off in my pocket. Went to charge like I normally do.. and NOTHING..
I noticed a weird behavior yesterday when charging it would jump from charging to not charging to charging. While sitting on my table. NO MOVEMENT to the cord or anything.
Tried Dell charger, tried aftermarket one (that I have been using for 2 months), and PC USB no response from the phone at all. Even tried to swap to a battery I know was low but not dead. Still no response from the phone.
The connection looks good.. but I am thinking maybe I am having a problem with the connector in the phone ?
Took my sons battery out (He also has a DVP) and booted my phone. Plugged it in and it started to charge. Then hot swapped batteries while it was plugged in.. let the battery charge up to 25% and now it charges fine again..
FUNNY it won't boot or charge while plugged in with a dead battery.. but will stay on if booted up and you remove the battery in it..
Anyone else notice that it won't charge from a computer? (well monitor) With my Aria i ran a USB cable from my monitor at work to the phone. the monitor wasn't connected (USB) to the computer, and it would just work as a charger. Doesn't seem to work with the atrix. anyone else able to confirm?
more info. does in fact charge when connected to a computer. but due to security reasons the company does not want phones connected to the companies. That is why i was using the monitor. Going to have to look into why it doesn't work this way for this phone. or just buy a longer cable and use the wall plug.
Mines actually not charging when connected to my laptop, wall is fine. The phone recognizes that it has a usb connected, but it doesn't charge and battery state still reads as discharging.
Also wondering if this is an issue for anyone else
Mine charged extremely slow from my PC and my laptop, the wall charger does it much faster.
USB ports on a computer don't usually provide enough voltage to charge a phone as fast as they normally do when plugged into the wall. My motherboard actually has a piece of software that supposedly enables phones to charge faster when connected to a USB port, but i have yet to try such a feature.
I've had my Atrix plugged into my computer for roughly 3 hours now, and so far it's gone from 30% to 60%.
I wouldn't be the least bit concerned if it was charging slowly, it was actually lower after unplugging than it was when I plugged in, and no charge symbols appeared. But if I plugged it in the computer saw it and soon as I unplugged the message popped up saying low battery please reconnect charger, and when reconnected it went away.
But there was no charge symbol and under battery status it said discharging.
Now I just unplugged from wall charger (worked fine first time) and plugged back into laptop, its charging fine so hopefully it was a one time thing.
Ah, so thata what it is; I have had mine on here for a while now and im still at 60.
Rooted/ROM Captivate
Rooted Atrix
When i first plugged mine into my desktop computer, it wouldn't charge at all. I then installed that motosoftware that came with the phone and after it finished the phone started to charge, but very very slowly.
Every computer ive tried works fine.
But when i plug it into a wall charger(not one that came with atrix) it starts freaking out lol. "unplug to save energy!!" flash on & off 3/second...atrix charger works fine tho...lame
You need the driver off the motorola site to charge the phone from your computer.
Yea, computers work, monitors don't. I'm guessing that the USB hubs in monitors don't have enough juice, even though they did for my Aria.
Hi there,
The phone in question is a Galaxy S i9000 with the latest CM10 (same problem occurred with CM9 and another rom, not based on CM I believe).
First of all, it never shows any signs on the phone that it's charging. However, when connected to a PC, it does charge (it doesn't look like it at first glance, but the battery icon fills up). When connected to a wall charger, nothing happens. It does not charge. I also can't connect it to the PC in order to transfer files etc. Just charge it.
I cleaned the usb socket carefully, but that did not help. I actually think it isn't a hardware problem, because this problem has sort of been coming and going during the last few days, and as I've said it charges fine via the PC.
I've tried 3 different roms, but no luck. Also tried different cables and wall chargers obviously..
Your help will be much appreciated!

Apparently over time the USB slots tend to get damaged due to constant usage, had this problem with a china made charger ( shows charging but never charges) and still lately even USB cables seems to need some replugging or slide movements to get connection. For insight , try the cleaning method.
