Charger malfunction... - Touch HD General

Hi! Some water spilled over my charger. Being unaware of that i plugged it in to charge the phone and the charger made a popping noise and stopped working... My phone is working, im charging through the usb cable but my laptop doesnt see the phone anymore so i may transfer files... The USB cable just charges the phone...that's it... What could i do?

that popping noise was your charger going BOOM
buy a new usb cable/charger
it might be a good idea to buy a new battery, but if its not damaged then dont bother

Charging Problem (Mains Plug)

Hay,
I got my Touch HD 2 days ago an it was all find an no problem. I've been plugging it in & out of the USB ports all day yesterday on the PC adding thing to it no problem.
I charged it lastnite and only noticed this moring that it didnt charge. I checked and sometimes if I put the USB cabele at a certian angle when its pluged in to the main AC Plug it wont charge, wiggle the cable an it starts to charge.
Thing is when it's plugged in to the USB port on the PC it works fine, no loss of connection.
Could this be a fault in the mains plug?
If so can I buy a new one or are the 3rd party Ebay ones safe?
Thanks

Problem with charger not working properly.

I have recently had a problem with my phones charger. I have noticed that the charger, sometimes will not work. At first I thought it was just the mini usb cord I was using. But I also was having the same problem with the HTC cable. They will be working till I move the phone a lil bit and then it will stop working. It is more noticible when plugged into the PC cause of the noise the computer makes when attaching the cord and removing it.
Does anyone else have this problem?
A) Take your phone into a repair shop
B) Get an EXTERNAL battery charger for your phone + an extra battery. (20+ dollars on ebay)
Hope this helps!

think i broke my phone....help?

ook so this might be a bit hard to follow but here goes. ok i got a coffe mug thatkeeps coffee warm its a usb that plugs into either a usb port or a 12v adapter for ciggarette lighter. and i dont have a car charger for my hd2 so i plugged my usb into the 12v adapter witch has obviously a usb in the back you simply plug a usb into ok so i tried this to see if it would charge my phone and it didnt / no big deal soooo i plug my usb into my laptop to charge my phone ...not working not the battery wont hold a charge instead its not even showing the charge icon on the batt indicator like its not plugged in ....thought maybe i messed the usb end of the plug up plugging it into the 12 adapter for the coffee mug so i tried a second plug that had nothing to do with the experiment and its doing the same thing acting like its not even plugged in ...so did i fry somthing? batt is low but seems to be fine phone works fine other than the no charge issue and no anomalies occured when it plugged into the 12v adapter
update when charger plugged in says plug in charger confirming it doesnt know its plugged in

Sounds like you fell victim to the poor quality of the microUSB port on the HD2. If you can, I would re-flash back to WinMo6.5 and send it in for a warranty repair. If not, you're next best choice would be to send it into a 3rd party repair shop. =/ Sorry.
well this is the usb chord im talking about not the microusb

What? You plug the USB cord into the microUSB port and you're not getting any reactions. Sounds like the microUSB port is broken...
nonono ok have coffe mug with usb charger and 12v adapter you plug usb into i plugged usb from my usb data / charging cable into the usb 12v adapter to see if adapter would charge phone and now the phone says plug in charger when already plugged in like its not recognizing the charger is plugged in on both usb data cable i used to try the 12v adapter AND seperate charger that had nothing to do with adapter and the usb charger cable plugs into the phone
oooh ok where i plug the cable into is the microusb port i get it ... ok that seems to be fine to it was working perfect until i tried to use the usb 12v adapter to try charging the phone could the adapter have fried the charger hardware in the phone ?

Possible, the voltage is pretty high and could conceivable short your charging circuit...
All of the USB adapter should be outputting about the same since the USB ports are standardized for electrical output. I suspect your USB data cable could be at fault. If you phone doesn't react to your USB cable being plugged in, you also may want to try pressing one of the hard keys on your phone so that it can realize that you are plugged in via USB. I have that issue with my phone from time to time and just press one of the hard keys so that the phone knows it is plugged in for charging.
that somthin that can be fixed or is that a throw the phone away problem
believe me i tried ...... i pressed all kinds of buttons and no reaction.... and now the battery died so i cant do anything

I wouldn't throw your phone away... Try a 3rd party repair shop - they should be able to fix it for around $70... Expensive, I know, but it's better than spending $500 on a new phone.
they said if a different charger isnt working the phone is a goner

Definitely not true. They don't know what they're talking about and I wouldn't trust them anymore. Try CellularDr.com. I sent my phone in to repair for the exact same problem and it's in the process of getting fixed now. They even have the part to repair it. I've called and talked to them, they can fix it and they don't care about custom ROMs on the phone.

[Q]Defy Charging Problem

Hi I've got a problem with my phone. If I connect it to the PC using orginal USB cable it charging, transfering data and so. But if I connect the phone to the wall charger it don't charge only screen wake up but no charging on battery icon. The wall charger is orginal too. I've tried changing ROMs.
This problem is really anoying so if You can, please help me.
You write you use the original charger, but do you also use the original USB cable? It matters, cheap USB cables do not work on the Defy :-(
seems some problem in wall socket adaptor

Got to check that out, cause I've been wondering why I can charge my Defy+ in some wall chargers, some computers, and so far no car chargers. Would be great if the cables are the cause. Thanks
I use the orginal usb cable too

There's nothing wrong with your phone, ROM, or USB cable, but your wall charger is broken.
Just get your charger replaced. That's what warranties are for.
The Defy doesn't really care about USB cables. If it's switched off it will charge anyway, so the ROM doesn't matter either. But it's very picky about the current and voltage stability of the charger. That's why many 3rd party chargers don't work no matter what cable you plug into it.
I was in non-official phones service and they check charging on another adaptors but i think they were not original. Anyway as i remember when lastly phone was charging it was a storm and on the next day it wasn't working but i'm not sure.
I know this thread is old but i didn't find solution to this problem, soooo:
The answer is = turn off debugging over USB

What's debugging got to do with wall charger??
Doesn't matter from where I send it, what matters is written above
So why when I turn it on i have problems with charging?
Bug?
if u use External charger u must charge ur phone with mcgyver for 10 min.
after that use the External charger.
becaz ur battery so low.
Charging Issue
I got the same problem from the day i bought the mobile... The service center people told its charger issue and need to replace the charger. So Changed the wall charger under warranty. It took around 2 months to get my charger back. But the things are same. It sometime charge. Sometimes the screen will on and didnt charge. I tried changing different Versions. Same thing. Even the service center people have no idea about it....
Could you check if the micro-usb connector of the phone or that of the cable is clean, dirt and dust reduces or prevents transfer rate of electricity.

HELP! Used "incompatible" USB cable all night, now only charges w/ computer USB port!

HELP! Used "incompatible" USB cable all night, now only charges w/ computer USB port!
Okay I know this sounds crazy, but I've tried 3 cables, 2 car charges, and 2 wall charges that all worked previously... And what I've found is that I can only get my LG G2 to charge when its plugged into a computer USB port. I've got car chargers that are both 1A and 2A, as well as wall chargers with varying amperage ratings too. And they all used to charge the phone and even still do charge my Samsung S3! Also the same USB cable that won't charge the phone when plugged into a car or wall charger, WILL charge it when its plugged into a computer!!??!
And to make things even more strange, Android reports the phone as "Charging", but the percentage never goes up. And using CurrentWidget or BatteryMonitorWidget, the phone shows as "Plugged In" but shows "DIScharging" and shows the mAh utilization as draining at 18mA...
The only thing I did differently is that last night, I used the USB cable that came with my ChromeCast device to charge the phone. I plugged it into the LG USB adapter that came with the phone. I didn't realize until this morning though that a message had popped up saying the phone was "incompatible" with the the charger/cable and that I should unplug it avoid possible damage..
Did that possibly break the charging capabilities?? That seems not possible...
:crying:
Gotta ask... Have you powered down and rebooted to see if that clears it up?

Unfortunately yes I have...
It's a shame you didn't see the warning message as soon as you plugged it in. Can you take it back under warranty? Sounds like it did do the damage it warned you about. The last ditch effort I would suggest is do a factory reset and see if that fixes it. If not, take it back.

Yea, I'm hoping not.. I may have to factory reset.. Boo... But I'm having trouble believing that a normal USB cable REALLY could do damage though.. I have another charger/cable combo that I keep plugged in on the wall in the kitchen and use it all the time for my S3. When I plug the G2 into that charger, it gives that same "incompatible charger" message. But what is so different about this phone that prevents it from being charged by any standard USB cable..??

I have a handful of charges at home and they all output different levels of power... though most are much less than LG G2 default charger.
Okay REALLY strange... NOW, the chargers charge my phone, but only show charge them.. Using the LG charger & cable, only slow charging is possible..
Seems my other charges are working now too.... Anyone have any thoughts?
