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?
Damn it..... i dont know what happened
it is still working perfectly yesterday
i did not drop the phone or battery, today the battery is still at 40% and as usual, before i went to sleep, i plug my phone on the USB Cable connected to my computer... but it is not charging.. and here i thought the error comes from my USB Cable , so i plug it into my wall charger ... but it is not charging at all!!!
and i thought, perhaps i have installed something , or some os faulty issue ... so i reset the phone via SETTINGS > About > Reset Phone
and after the reset.. it is still not charging...
argh what should i do... please help... anyone
i purchased this phone from singapore.. and i am indonesian.... the battery is currently at 30% , i am so afraid after it runs out of its juice, it will go away forever (because i cant charge it) T.T
what should i do....
(Is this battery and the one used on Galaxy S is the same? My sister has Galaxy S, should i try using her battery and try to charge it from my phone? .... ARGHHHH the omnia 7 is not even available yet in indonesia) T.T
Anyone help T.T
Get another charger it will charge get a new 1
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
you sure it is the charger?
You are talking about the wallcharger right?
usually it already charging via USB Connected to a computer.. but this time... the computer does not even detect if anything is connected.... (nothing happened when i plug this phone to my pc, usually there is a notification sound playing and my zune will autorun)...
damn it ... why this happened.. yesterday it is just fine (
damn it .. i am sleepy already..
i will go and sleep for now.. and left my phone turned off and plugged in the WallCharger
and hopefuly.... sigh.. it is still charing although no indication whatsoever is showing that
MAN... should i just try bang the damn battery hard onto the table... perhaps some of the chip inside the battery is misplaced by whatever unknown forced?!
damn it.. i never dropped the phone.... ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
this is so frustrating
Relax
Relax man your charger is bad.
I have the same problem but my girlfriend have a Wave and start using his charger and everything works fine.
Buy a new charger
question
can i use any charger from any phone for this Omnia 7?
(the one that has USB Output of course, such as xperia1 charger)
if we can, then it is also not working.... and why suddenly it wont do anything when i plugged it in my Computer USB
the very same computer works perfectly yesterday, and suddenly it is not working..
I suspect either one of these is the problem :
1. the micro USB Connector in the Phone is broken somehow , hence the when we plugged it on, it does nothing
2. the Battery (which if i am not mistaken has a chip inside) is broken, hence explain why it is not charging at all (which a bit does not make any sense, if it is just not charging at least when i plug it on the computer, it should still detect this device...)
I am from indonesia, i can ask my friend who is returning from melbourne to purchase a new battery and new charger hopefuly
Okay to make things simpler.. i have a sister who own a Galaxy S
can i use the galaxy s wallcharger to charge my omnia 7? ah hell,i will try it anyway...
okay according to this
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I917ZKAATT
it goes great with galaxy s standard battery...
so i suspect, i can use my sister galaxy s standard battery and try to charge it using my cellphone
and i can also try to use my sister galaxy s wallcharger to charge my battery...
okay lets try ... hopefuly.... it is only the battery.. i can easily purchase a new battery... if it is the USB Connector on the phone... damn, how on this green earth can i charge my battery? OH we can use the kickstand battery charger?
hmm suddenly it is working now :O
thanks God... hopefuly it will never ever happened again T.T
Great it is working again
Any possibility that there is a way that the device forces a full recharge cycle to calibrate the battery?
Honestly i guess so.
I have the same problem...i can t charge my i8700 at all...what did you do to charge again???...i use a universal charger where i put my battery ...this happens for two weeks now..

Try allowing the phone to run out of battery and turns off, then plug it into the charger, i would love to know if this is a failure or be design behavior.
Put the battery in the phone,
Wait untill the phone goes completely off.
Plug the phone to the wall charger.
write back here
i tryed this but the same problem it turns on but only while the charger is pluged in when i pull it out the phone turns off...i try to hard reset nothing..there is no update to work with non retail devices...the phone is from three uk...i m from romania there is no way to return there to an service..(
Having the same problem. Been working flawlessly.Plugged it in a couple of hours ago,but it doesnt appear to be charging.
When I use the USB charger on the PC, it is recognised, and Zune opens up fine and Phone shows up.
Have tried two Mains chargers, the Omnia 7 one and the one that came with my Galaxy S, same problem.
EDIT:
Left it plugged in overnight and it charged fine.Used phone, going down to about half battery.Plugged it in and seems to be charging without a problem!
I've got the same problem as you guys for a couple of days now.
Thanks for your reactions i will try everyone of them untill my omnia 7 charges again

Do you have a bit of battery left?
Windows Phone 7 devices power up when you plug them in. Maybe the OS is not booting and because it is S-AMOLED display we cannot tell if it is on or not.
Try Hard Resetting without booting WP7

Make sure you have a bit of power though, you don't want that to stop in the middle of the proccess
This has happened to me a couple of times. I think it's just a reporting bug, the battery is actually charging. I just have to restart the phone and it magically has charge
battery is charging too long
How long does take to fully charge the battery? For me it's about 4-5 hours with wall charger. Should not it be faster?
Mine is about the same for a full charge and I have also noticed my Omnia 7 not charging properly when I plug it into my MacBook Air however it does seem to charge fine on my Dell laptop for work.
Maybe the Omnia 7 is very sensitive for charging over USB on a laptop and needs a certain voltage for it to charge properly?
What works for me:
1. Original charger
2. iPhone 4 charger
3. iPhone 3GS charger
4. Blackberry Curve charger
Not tried any other micro-usb cables yet but will do at some point in the future.
I had the same problem too. The battery was suspiciously showing high levels for the last three days (went without a charge!). In the morning, the alarm did not go off, and I realised the battery was dead dead! Charged (wall charger) for 1.5 h without any use -- would turn off if I unplugged. Tried with the USB cable too (connecting to computer) and no use.
I read this post, and tried with the wall charger again, and it shows me ~60% battery, and seems to be charging normally!
Will post an update, but really seems like a forced discharge cycle to me too!!
Thanks for this thread, and I am interested in seeing if any more ppl are seeing such issues!
At least once, but sometimes twice a week, my battery keeps discharging while my Omnia 7 is attached to USB. And even the icon shows it should be charging.
The solution I use is taking the battery out for 10-15 seconds, put it back in, switch the device on, and charging works like it should be.
I hope they come up with a solution, because it's quite annoying.

I have been having issues charging my 16GB DVP, it started last week I plugged the phone in for the night and I know it started to charge but when I woke up in the morning the battery was dead. This happend the second night too. I made sure I had the original cable and plug and it happend the third night.
Thinking the plug might be bad I left it plugged into my USB but it was dead the next morning. The strange thing is if I'm at work I leave it plugged in most of the day and I never have that problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
I have the same problem. I can only charge with my laptop. Will not charge if I plug into wall although the icon says it's charging, it doesn't. And I'm using the factory cable and plug.
Looks like a few people have had this problem.

Are You Having Battery Trouble With Your Windows Phone 7?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Windows Phone Talk" @ 05:40 PM
Over the past month or two, I've seen scattered reports of people having trouble with their Windows Phone 7 devices related to the battery charging. I haven't had any problems yet, but I don't think this is an isolated incident. Symptoms include:
Connecting your phone via USB to your computer and having the battery drain rather than charge
Connecting your phone via USB to a wall charger and having the battery not charge at all even after hours of being connected
The battery is showing a low power indicator, but if you power off the phone, take out the battery, put it back in, and power up the phone, it will actually be fully charged
Seen anything like this yourself? Vote in the poll and post a comment with details.
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.
I have a problem charging my phone at the car. When I connect the phone to the charger, the charging is constantly switching on and off draining the battery in minutes. I tried other devices and they are being charged fine. The phone itself charges from the wall socket without any problems. I just wonder what the problem is. I am attaching a log in case someone could take a look.
Actually, if I plug in the phone to the car charger, it discharges rather than charges even if it is turned off.
have you tried another car charger to rule that out? if you dont have another one try borrowing one from a friend or something to test it out. i had a similar problem with my N4 and a new car charger resolved it.

I dont think it'd be a problem of your phone. If the phone is charging okay with the wall socket charger then your phone is fine. I'd suggest trying out another car charger.
Looks like it was a problem with the cable. It is not from N4 and used to hold fine but now it seems a bit loose. Thanks a lot, everyone, for suggestions.
