Sorry if this is on the wrong section but today I realized that my usb connecting to the wall plug started to have this weird burning smell.. but it charges fine so far should I be worrying about the usb being fried and will end up not charging or syncing anymore?
Edit: while I relooked into my topic again I thought of a new way to say instead of saying usb connecting. As I ment the end of the usb cord that mounts into the wall plug and computer

You should start by trying another charger. That's something you may want to fix before burning your house down.

has anyone found a fix to the usb debugging with aftermarket chargers issue?
Phone thinks it's plugged in to a PC and won't mount the SD card properly when using a third party charger.
My phone had been acting very weird with the car charger for the last couple days. I even got a different charger. Charges on and off all day. Not sure what causing it. The home charger works fine.

All my chargers charge just fine, it when plugged into any charger other than the HTC wall charger USB debugging turns on and the SD card un-mounts.
Sucks when using custom alarm sounds or trying to bring up files on the SD when charging.
I think this is recent, like 2.2 upgrade. I think mine isn't mounting the card, but it goes into usb debugging.

that's just it when you have debugging enabled it will do that. Pain in the ass though and I would think some third party charger makers would have some issues with this too.
I don't have charger right now...I need charge the phone....the battery die and I only have the original data cable :S
I plug in on my laptop, and a green light appear on the phone....but phone don't turn on
If the battery is dead it wont turn on. Let it be for a while.

Make sure your laptop is plugged in & charging as well, otherwise I don't think it will work.
Make sure you have the drivers installed as well. I read in the motorola site somewhere that the computer won't charge unless the drivers are installed. Also it charges much slower than the wall outlet does.

Usr USB 3.0 port if your laptop has one so it supplies more power. USB 3.0 will charge almost as fast as AC.

Just let it be. it won't turn on if the battery is below a certain level. Let it sit and charge and it will eventually turn on.
Here we go again.. Only the 1,500th time this has come up..
yes.. Have you been flashing ?
And if it stucked on bootloader you will need factory cable...
Or ..
You can buy a charge only cable just like me, from ebay.. Very cheap.. The phone can boot without even battery! That's why it can be charged if you stucked o bootloader!

This happened to me and you need to plug it in an AC wall charger I left mine on a usb for like 3 hours and it did nothing but on an AC wall charger it took 5-10 mins then it terned on. Hope this helps.

You returned it because of battery life?. What do you mean?.
I tought you returned the phone because of the locked bootloader and because its a bit easy to brick it.

I respect your work but don't give absurd reasons for returning your phone.

I have read a post about factory cable,it seems that it will be powered on forcibly when plugged via this cable even without a battery
How to make it? short the +5v and ID pin?i dont know,just search this board
Please help me, my phone is Atrix 4G, to unlock the phone two days ago when the phone can not boot. Installing the battery press the power button nothing happens, remove the battery, plug in the power only the green light in the light. How should I do?
Google how, to charge your phone without a charger, you will have to sacrifice a usb cable. After you put a charge on it, reflash a gingerbread sbf file. I suggest the 2.3.4 pudding full sbf since you want an unlocked device.

thanks for your advise ,but when using a USB charger, the computer can not find the device, and I did install the correct driver.

What I suggested involves cutting the end off a usb cable and manually charging the battery with an electric current, if you would have searched there are several YouTube videos that show you how to do it.
If the phone won't start with a charged battery then you have no way of fixing it.

Try to borrow a battery from a friend who has a atrix or Droid X instead

Only the official Nook cable and charger will work for charging.
But the percentage goes up, and also it never came with a wall charger only the cable....

If it was new it came with a charger. If used, someone stiffed you. You can buy a charger and cable from B&N for $24.95. The charger and cable have additional charging pins from normal cables which is why other chargers will barely if at all charge it.
It was brand new but only has the cable she still has the box which only has a slot for the cable

Both brand new and Barnes and Noble refurbished come complete with charger and cable. The charger is a small wall adapter with a USB socket that the cable plugs into. It can supply about 2A and over extra wires / pins which are in the official cable.
Check the box and if you didn't get the adapter then you should contact Barnes and Noble.
You can charge your nook with a compatible cell phone charger, but you have to plug in the nook, then turn it off and leave it alone for 8 hours or so to get a full charge.
Do check for the part the cord should plug into, to plug into the wall. Call 1-800-thebook if the cord breaks (which it will!) for a free replacement. The cords are cheaply made. I am on my 5th cord - all replaced for free.

My nexus 7 have a problem, that can turn o, every time rebooting, won't accept any charge, how can be?
...i have almost the same issue with my 2012 N7, stock&root....it just will not charge (tried different chargers!) It shows "charging" but it uncharges...now it is dead!!! ....a known issue??

Sounds to me like you either have a broken lead on one of the charging pins inside the MicroUSB charging port or either your battery has malfunctioned.
I also have the Nexus 7 2012(grouper) and have a "tighter" connection using my Samsung ATIV SE MicroUSB cable, but the cable for my Galaxy S4 tends to fall out easily.
Remember that most aftermarket MicroUSB cables do not have all the pins inside the connector and most MicroUSB Chargers only have the 5V charging pins..
Try plugging your tablet into a USB port on a computer and see what happens..
Hope everything works out!

I have changed my usb-port as well, and the battery icon when the tablet is shut off shows that it is charging, however the OS when turned on doesnt seem to recognize that the charging cable is present. Also PC connection doesnt seem to work... Any ideas?
