Hi there guys. I have i-mate JASJAR(htc universal)
symptoms: no USB sync, no charging via anything, EXCEPT when battery is taken out and charged independantly, ie. in other device or cradle charger.
A mate had the phone before me and was in a emergency to charge it, so he bought a not so trustworthy charger and charged the phone, it charged for 30 seconds and then completely died.
I have aquired the phone and am trying to track down the source of the problem, thing is, when I charge the battery externally when it's not in the phone and then put it into the phone, everything works normally, except that the battery doesnt charge when I plug the phone into PC via USB, and there is no USB connectivity.
Sending the phone off for repairs is not an option to me. does anyone have an idea where the battery charging sub circuit is on the main pcb?
A full schematic of the device would also be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
Louis.
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

My htc touch's battery is almost empty last night.i turn off my phone and take the pin out.This morning i plug all again,charge the battery.But many hours, my phone cannot turn on,there is one red light is pusle.
How can i charge and turn on?
Help me please,i just buy this!
"Sorry about my english"
maybe you didn't plugged your charger to your elf properly, i mean sometimes when i connect the charger to my elf it doesnt connect well, even if you connect the mini-usb plug it doesn't detect it, i have to check if the battery meter is moving or charging to know that i properly connected my device to the charger. maybe thats what happened. thats why its not turning on because its totally discharged.
Did you try to flash a new rom onto it recently?
So, i've tried charging my phone via computer twice now and every morning i do, i wake up with an all but dead device. While it says it's charging, it doesn't seem to do anything more than simply keep the device at minimal operational levels of energy. Anyone else experiencing this???
older computers and charging through a hub will cause this.
with my focus, it takes about 3 hours to charge fully using the computer or about 2 hour to charge using the included charger.
This happened to me last night
I have now had my phone 6 days. Each night, I have charged it by plugging into my computers USB port, so that I can sync that days podcasts. On each night, it has fully charged by the time I wake up in the morning.
This morning, I unplug the phone from the USB cable, and I notice that I only have one bar on the battery meter. I checked the USB cable where it plugs into the computer, and it appeared OK. I unplugged the USB cable from the computer, attached it to the wall plug adapter, and plugged it into the wall outlet. After about an hour, it looks like it has charged a bar or so.
So, maybe I just didn't insert the plug very well. Maybe. Crap.
Most PCs turn off the USB port during sleep. If that happens, your phone battery will be drained by the PC instead of charging.
Newer laptops now carry USB ports that will not turn off during sleep or off for the purpose of charging.

Perhaps, or it is not your fault and simply a bad cable.
Hey guys, got a problem with my S4 i9506, yesterday all of the sudden its telling me that the usb cable is pluged in (message when u plug the usb), but I just surf the web without any cable attached! afterwards it started to get a little hot on the back, and later the evening, when the battery was drained, I pluged the charger and it would NOT charge! it did see the plug, the battery icon changed, but the battery were still going down! I tried another S4 battery, same thing - so its the phone. I googled the issue, cleaned the USB connections carefully, tried hard reset, tried charging from PC (the PC detects the phone, I can transfere files), so the USB port seems to be fine. the battery died comepletly, I tried do charge when its turned of, did't help, its just vibrating every second, without any display activity. I put it overnight charging, woke up this morning and it did acctually charge, but VERY slowly, and won't get higher than 20% charge.
