Try charginf battery with the display Off
How about charging it every night when you are going to sleep?
In any case, turn off WiFi, LCD, GPS, bluetooth and any other data connections while not using it.
If you charge using the supplied USB cable, be sure to set the LCD brightness to minimum for a much faster charge.
It is much better to charge battery over travel charger, it must be just few hours for full charge
Are you, by any chance, charging the unit with a computer?

There is a significant difference in charging with the supplied wall charger compared to the USB cable. Just use the wall charger and your charge times will drop to about 3 hours from 10% battery to full charge.
If you have lost the wall charger, be sure to set the LCD brightness to minimum while charging through USB.

Don't use USB for charging if you have a wallcharger at hand....it takes way too long!!
Wallcharger on empty battery 2 Full charge takes about 2 hours.
2 hour full charge with wall charger wow!!! i was thinking usb charger will be faster. and my other question is should i use my original dopod wall charger or other wall charger is fine? let me know

Of course the original charger is the best to use.
If you do not have the original charger, find a charger that outputs 5V and 1A.
Charging via USB seems to be a MS Windows Mobile issue, not necessarily an Anthena problem. Since WM5 Aku 3, most devices have issues charging over USB..

Let's hope someone invents a docking cradle with this facility like the old HP PPC's.

After using U1000 for almost a month now, I don't feel that the battery life is any better than my Universal. If it's better, perhaps, a little bit better.
I have a problem with my SPV C500. When the battery runs down to 50% I'm not able to charge it by wall charger. It starts to charge but after a while the led goes green and battery indicator says the phone is full charged. When I plug the charger out, the battery indicator will tell the thruth - it's not been charged. Even letting the phone with wall charger plugged in for several hours doesn't help. The only way is to use USB connector and connect it to PC. In this case the "point of no return" is around 20% (I did a test with spare battery). Did you experience such a problem?
I've also had second SPV C500 which stopped to charge at all. Even USB charging didn't help. I had to sell it as faulty :-(
BTW 6.1 ROM seems to save battery life. With WM 2003 SE it took one day to drop to 50%, now it takes more than two days. .-)
Hi Guys
I have a problem with my TyTN at the moment.
My device is not charging.
Yesterday i put it in my Docking Station and wait a little time.
But Now the Tynt isnt charged.
I think ist a Problem with my TyTN Hardware.
I have all Power Supplys used they i have, but it doesent work.
Can you help me?
Its this a problem with the accu or a fuse on the circuit ?
Sorry for my broken english i hope you understand me.
Regards Patrik Laube
Hello,
first of all, try to soft reset the device.
If it fails, hard reset it.
If it doesn't work, go the service center.
Good luck
The above advice is fine. But you did not say if any of the LEDs are lit.
Do you get the red NO CHARGE LED?
Does your phone operate normally except for not charging?

Hello
My Phone is working fine but i cant charge it with the original HTC adapter.
I must load the accu with a special loader.
USB and Charge dont work....
And i have no warranty I cant send it to my operator.
When i plug in the USB Cable it doesent make everthing.
I think it was a to high voltage on the USB or the USB Ground ( - ) had a electrical Power for a litte moment.
Have you an idea?
Thanks for yur help.
Regards Patrik
I had a similar problem, which was sorted by a new rom, but I ascertained it was software problem when I realised it charged when powered off.

hi,
try this: when your device is connected via usb, tab on the battery icon in the taskbar on you device, go to the register "advanced" and check/uncheck "When Device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the pc"
thats it

I'm having an issue along these lines, also.
My phone has been working fine untill the other night when I tried to charge it via the wall electrical outlet. It will not charge at all, the battery has been drained to nothing and I can't turn it on. The yellowish light doesn't turn on when I plug it in like it used to.
I don't know if this is a battery issue or an issue with the USB connection inside of the phone. On a side note, when it did have power and I tried to connect it to the USB via the PC; it didn't work. The phone was on, but the computer didn't even notice the phone was plugged in. That leads me to believe it would be a connection issue; but I'm not quite sure.
If anyone has anything they can add to this I would appreciate it, thank you.
P.S. Bringing it to a service center is a bit out of the question in the mean time seeing as it was bought on eBay and funds are limited for the time-being.

Hello, I cannot find the "When Device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the pc" in my device. My Rom is WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20273 cooked by dvha79_ddt.
My HTC TyTN has the sample problem, but i can use the USB to charge normally. It cannot work using my AC adapter Only when the device is open...
About your Battery Issue.
I'll tell you exactly why ur phone isnt charging anymore... If you have been charging it alot on the USB or pretty much any!! charging on the USB u have killed ur battery, never charge your phone on the USB it kinda sucks they should make these phones able to be Sync'd thru USB without a battery cause these batteries should not be powered thru the USB over Time... from syncing to your pc will kill these batteries i have noticed that when u sync this Tytn Ithru USB and the device is at say 70% it charges up to 100% pretty fast i would recommand to you and anyone who reads this dont sync your TYTN or any HTCC phone for to long to the USB Cause it will Trash your batteries Life down the road... Hope this was HELPFUL.
Cheers
Paul

^I'm having the same problem with my herm200. I did the soft reset, hard reset changed ROMs but still the same problem. I don't think it's the usb connector because if it is it wouldn't have been able to charge the phone even if it's turned off. Before I'm able to charge it turned on but it would take a few minutes before the orange led turns on, but when I use the phone or if I receive a text the orange led would turn off it's like the charger disconnects but after a few minutes it would go back again. Now it just wouldn't charge turned on, sometimes it gets worse where it just wouldn't charge on or off.
Now I'm already planning to buy an external battery charger.

Are you using an official 1000mA charger? (Not a 500mA one) 500mA ones work, but they are under-powered and can cause strange behaviour, like not charging whilst turned on or whilst on a call. Similar problems can be found with car-chargers that will not charge until the device is soft reset.
Mike
^no it's not the official charger, I have this usb wall charger called Power Juice (phone and mp3 charger).
Input Voltage: AC100-240V
Output Voltage: 5V
Output Current:1000mAh
Do you think it's because I'm not using the original charger?
fixed my charging problems
The boyfriend told me to try a new cable for my charger so he bought me a 5pin usb cable, tried it at home and it worked! I still need to turn off the screen sometimes but that's ok at least I don't have to turn off the phone anymore. Now my battery charges less than 3 hours.
Hold both SoftKeys and Then press the Power button
Or you can also hold both softkeys and then put your stylus into the reset hole.
answer why it does not charge through the usb
Sorry for the very very late response. Under electrical legislation all hand held electrical devices must be insulated and fused. Some of the chargers that you can purchase are sealed without fuse which indicates that the phone has a fuse contained within its circuitry (or there may be 2 fuses one in each device) .
The problem you have encountered is that you have connected your phone to a computer or mains supply to charge. There has been a surge in the electrical supply either on connection or by un-connecting from these supplies (e.g. connect to the computer as it is booting would see a 65w signal through the USB) and this more often than not blows the fuse which sits on the PCB (printed circuit board) just after the usb connection internally to the phone.
you can either have the fuse fixed for 20/25 gbp or you can purchase a new circuit board or you can use an external charger for the battery. As it is only the power input point that is faulty.
hope this helps
Since we are at this non-charging & battery issue, I would like to ask this question on the D838pro. My battery won't charge even after 24 hours of charging. The red LED blinks thru the whole process. The LED did not turn on to orange or green. It is the battery problem because my spare battery works well. I would like to know what is wrong with the battery as I am willing to strip down the battery. Could it be the battery circuit or wiring that had fired?

Never tried stripping down a battery, some things... well, just don't seem worth it. However as a learning exercise it might be interesting. Without lots of testing on a good battery with a multimeter then I have no clue what the readings should be between all the contacts. (Now there's a little job for you) It is as likely the internal structure of the battery is screwed as it is to be a wiring problem.
If you solve it you can certainly report back here

I read through all the forums and threads related to battery problems but non was similar to the problem im facing.My wall charger isnt working.when i connect it to my hermes the amber light turns on.the status of battery is also charging,but it isnt charging..once in a bluemoon sometimes it charges to aroung 20-25% thats it.my phone charges on usb connected to pc and on car charger.what can be the problem in the charger and possibly if a solution is available let me know
Does it charge with the wall charger when the phone is powered off completely? If it does, then its a software issue, and a new rom flash should solve it. If it doesn't then its a hardware issue.
On my phone, the usb socket has started to wear out, and it got to the point where it sometimes randomly lost the connection. I bought a dock off ebay, and that has luckily solved my problem.
it is the problem wid d charger....
Hi i have an odd problem my HD2 wont charge while in the car i am using the lusb lead that came with the phone plugged into a cigarette lighter adaptor with USB port. I know the lead is ok because it charges when plugged into my laptop and i know the cigarette adaptor is ok because it charges my ipod when connected, but my hd2 just wont charge. I have tried turning of bluetooth wifi well everything that can be just to check it was not using more power than it was geting but no joy. The HD2 does sy it is charging and the battery indicator changes to show this too but the battery percentage goes down. Any ideas.

I would try a different cig adapter. That's likely the issue. Check the mA rating.
thanks will order a new one from ebay
have you got your phone set to 'do not charge when connected to the pc'? because if so then the phone is seeing teh charger as a computer and not charging.
You may want to check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643808 where I asked the same question and answered myself after a while, making it into a tutorial
HD2 Charging issue with 1500mAh battery
Following problem:
Got a second 1500mAh battery, the problem with it I can't charge it when the device is ON; When the phone is turned OFF, the battery will charge normally! The original HD2 battery is working fine.
Anybody experiencing the same problem?
