Have a couple of questions regarding the above.
Is it safe to charge my wizard using any mini usb lead ? Found a sony one at work that was from a camera. Do all mini usb leads allow the same voltage to come through or are the ones that come with the Wizard specific ?
Also whats the difference between the following ?
Turning the screen off using the power button
Allowing the screen to turn itself off when not used
Turning the screen off using the screen off command with wisbar 2 ?
Cheersssssss.
I use many different usb cables, from cameras, mp3 players, gps antennas and never had any problem with them.
When you use the power button, you don't just turn the screen off, you more or less hibernate the whole device. Turning the screen off just saves battery because screen , wifi and bluetooh "burn" the battery much more than the cpu

I've used various Mini USB leads with no problems. Also my Cheapo BT GPS reciever from www.mobilefun.co.uk came with a car charger as it has the same mini USB socket and have used that with no probs

I was wondering the same thing, but I have some specifics in my case. My own charger from T-Mobile USA's MDA says "output 5V 1A DC". The other charger (from a Blackberry device) that I'd like to see if I can use says the same thing, except the amperage is lower (400 mA). Is it safe to use? Thanks.
Don't worry. It's safe to use your blackberry charger . The only downside would be that it may be even longer than usual to charge your battery
There is only on minor problem with using other chargers that ARE NOT made for the Wizard.
If your device is below 20-30% charge it will not charge it back. This is a apparently a problem that is overcome by the 1a charger that ships with the device. Most of the other USB chargers are 500-550ma and charge at a much longer pace. They will work but you have to wait "awhile" for a complete charge.
Hope this helps.
... I learned about this this week from various accessory vendors.
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

Hello everybody I have a problem with my HTC Touch Diamond I bought in September and I did not have any trouble with it since now. When I want to charge my Diamond and I plug it in the outlet it asks me what type of connection I want (Active Sync or Disk Drive) and if I close the window thus not choosing any of them it does not start charging. If I want it to start charging I have to go to Start - Settings - System - Power - and Uncheck the box When Device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC. I have to mention I did not recently install anything or done anything to with. This glitch just started happening a few weeks ago. So my question is what is causing this? And how can I fix it? Thanks…
ring ure service provider and tell them its not charging..they should give you a new hand set
or
try hard re-setting it
but you should ask the experts realli...

Are you talking about plugging the device into a mains outlet via the supplied mains charger, or into your PC via the USB cable? If you're using the mains charger directly into a mains socket and you're getting the message 'What type of connection..... ', then there's something definitely wrong with your device, in which case you need to follow AdamPatel's advice and get it replaced / repaired
Really need some advice!!!!!

Thanks for answering. Yes i am talking about about plugging the device into a mains outlet via the supplied mains charger. The only way i can get it to charge is if i check the box "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC". This problem occured a few months bag and I moved the USB cable plugged in to the mains charger and it worked then but now no matter what i do to it it wont charge unless i check the box "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC". And also today i looked closer at the usb cable that goes in the mains charger and i saw it was a bit damaged (by damaged i mean some small white wires werent covered - sorry about my description dont actualy now how to relate). SO my question is do you think the phone has hardware problems or just the usb cable/ main charge???
Thanks for answering
Mmmm...
Is there any way you could try another USB cable first. If it is damaged, as you suspect, it could be giving wrong information to your device (ie. about what exactly it's plugged into). Might be worth trying a new one first, before going through the hassle of repairs or replacement of your device.
It does sound a bit suspect I must admit. Give it a go
Hi.
I sometimes get the same thing, but not all the time...
If I use my cheap car charger - mini USB, I always get the message about connecting via Activesync or Disk Drive, whereas if I use my proper mains charger at home it's fine. This would suggest (with my phone at least) the problem is with the cable.
Is it a problem for you not to leave the box '...don't charge...when connected to your PC...' permanently unchecked? Then it's just a one button solution without the hassle of needing to get anything fixed.
I agree with grahamkdt, though, rule out the USB cable if you can by trying another.
Greetings friends;
I need of the help you; I have bought this cellphone HTC Tilt 8925 AT&T and fallow the steps to charger the bettery for 8 hours and when I turned on appeared this screen (image attached); tried to connect on PC and directly on outlet power but the problem persisted; I have sent the device to the seller and he told me that replaced the battery and the cellphone worked; 2 days ago received again the cellphone and did the charger but only appear this screen (image attached). I did a video and put on youtube, as I can't to put link in this moment you can see the link on (image attached) please help me.
The seller said this about the video and problem: From what I can see, it is my best guess that the proper voltage/amps are not getting to the phone. The phone took so long to get to you this time, it could be that the battery is drained beyond being charged. For the phone to function properly, the battery must be in, not just the phone plugged in without the battery. At this point, my only other guess is that the charger may not be working properly. Is it possible for you to insert the battery and allow the phone to charge over night in your car with the car charger we supplied? If you do that and it turns out to work, then obviously there is something wrong with the AC charger. You mentioned the USB plug, but I don't know for sure if the phone charges while plugged into USB.
I disagree with him and I answered this: The eletric power it's all or nothing; you can see the cellphone turn on even with the battery or using the outlet or USB from the computer; if the power do not works, the device did not turn on, but the device turn on and only can see that screen, my opinion is that there is a software problem cellphone. I have another HTC cellphone and used this charger that comes with the new cellphone and that you saw on youtube video and my old HTC cellphone turn on perfectly without battery.
I NEED OF HELP OF YOU: THIS PROBLEM IS IT BATTERY OR SOFTWARE OF THE CELLPHONE?? I THINK THAT IS NOT THE BATTERY. ANY SUGGESTION IT'S WELLCOME.
THANKS AND PLEASE HELP ME.
BEST REGARDS

Hi friend, Thanks for your answer I did the change.
I've recently bought Galaxy Note (N7000). While Charging the phone, I'm unable to receive/pickup any calls? It directly locks out and all it shows is the LOCK SCREEN.
I've browsed the web and this forum for some answer but couldn't find anything.
Could anyone of you help me please?
Thanks.

It may be a charger issue I guess.
I had the same problem whenever I charged using Nokia Charger !!
The touch screen does not respond.
May be a faulty earth issue.
Try charging at your friends house or change the charger ....
Thanks Prabhu. I shall check and will revert.
Thanks.

tried :
- car charge
- another cable
- charger via laptop
but, still the same problem.. it just doesn't let me touch the screen...
