Hi everybody.
I don't know, what is going on with my Att 8525.
I bought this earphones for it like 3 months ago, and they do work. I mean, the audio is coming out from the USB Connector.
But, when I plug it to my computer, it does not detected at all. I plug in to power and does not charge. But if I connected back to the earphones, sounds comes out.
I already try to do a soft reset, delete everything, and start from scratch, but it does not wants to charge or connect to Activesync.
If there is someone, that can help me, please tell me.
I'm guessing here, but it seems to me that the constant use of the EXT port (via inserting/removing your headphones) has possibly damaged the EXT port internally (ie dislodged it from PCB). I believe the ports on WM machines in general tend to be a major point of failure due to the physical stress due to insertion/removal
I had a 2.5mm port on my HP rw6828/Atom clone fail on me after using it for a while to connect my headphones.
The thing is, I only used the Headphones one time.
I was at work watching some comedy show on my phone. So battery was running low. I close down everything, disconnected the headphones and connected to my works computer through USB, but then Activesync didnt detected nor the phone.
So i reseted the phone, and try again to connected to the computer and yet still didnt want to connect.
I went home, and tried to connected to laptop as well, and the charger and nothing. It didnt want to charge at all.
So I had to buy a battery charger to charge the battery, that's the only way to charge my phone.
If you have any idea, what's going on, please help me, to resolve this problem.

If after a hard reset the problem persists then:
As suggested above, it is likely a cracked solder joint on the USB to motherboard OR a bent pin in the phones USB port. Check this with a magnifying glass.
Mike
thanks for reply..do you have any idea where can i fix if it is problem with connection to motherboard
Perhaps if you say the city/town where you live someone might be able to suggest a shop that does repairs without sending your phone away.

I don't know but does anyone in Tampa know of a shop that does on site repairs?
Mike
thanks...will enquire it..
will the phone charge with the wall plug, or only fails charge connected to computer? I had a problem with the computer once, I just went into device manager and uninstalled the USB hubs, they reinstalled fine afterwards and work great (have to do this every few months, probably because I never use the safely remove crap)

no its not working either with usb or wall charger......
Hello,
I have strange problem, since today I cannot charge my HD while its being on, when I plug in usb charger nothing happens, i tried charging through PC usb port, and nothing happens.
I cannot even establish connection with a pc, don't get 3 choice menu (active sync, hdd, and nothing) on HD when usb is plugged in.
I suspected that the usb port is defected, but when the unit is switched off, it's charging even though there is no amber led on.
It has original rom and radio in it...
Did anybody had similar problem? The phone is under warranty, should I send it for repair?
Thanks in advance.
Very weird. I would definately advise you to send it in for repair. I haven't heard of anything like this before :O.
Good luck!

Hi, I got the exactly same issue as you described today. Have you got it fixed?
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks,
This has already been discussed:
Battery Not Charging
1.Hard Reset after backing up data.
2.Check if SPL/ROM mismatch - if U flashed a custom ROM or SPL.
3.Short circuiting pins in battery compartment of HD after disconnecting of power/USB and removing battery. (Don't short the battery - it may explode).
Try the solutions, if it doesn't work then go for warranty.
Too many ppl seem to have this problem and no one uses search

I did search it before and got 8-9 pages of results. I tried all the approaches but none could fix it. This guy described the exactly the same symptom I have so I really wanted to know how he ended up doing with the issue before I sent it off for warranty.
The problem right now is really on the USB connection, even in the boot loader mode, it couldn't recognize the USB but it could do it just one day before.
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate if you could have some new ideas for me to try.

Have you tried updating your USB drivers?
Have you tried different usb cables?
Some of my usb cables no longer works. I believe my mini usb connector have become slightly looser and I have experienced a cable will charge the phone but won't come up with any options.
Wotth a shot.
The USB driver seems ok since I used the USB connection to flash ROMs and SPLs the day before without any problem.
As for the cables, I tried 5 or 6 total including the stock one but it didn't help.
As stated before, the only time the phone is charging is when I turn it off completely and it charges fairly quickly. However, the bottom (close to the USB end) part of the phone is very hot during the charge. If I turn it on or put it in standby mode, there is no charge or ActiveSync activity.
I have a similar problem.. My phone charges when I plug it in. But I am not presented with any options and ActiveSync doesn´t recognise the device..
same problem here
I am in the same situation. I flashed back the stock ROM, but with no USB, I am unable to put 6.5 back on....any advice is appreciated.
I sent the bad phone (Telstra T8285) back to the seller (an AUS ebayer) and he nicely sent me back a new phone but the story didn't end here. The second phone worked for one day until I plugged in my usb universal car charger. Damn, the exactly same problem happened again at the very moment I pushed in the usb connector. Now I know what the issue has been. I frankly told the seller what happened and he told me what their repair guy found about my first phone, that the fault was from reverse polarity of power supply. I was very surprised because I have been using the same car charger for my previous 3 PDA phones w/o any issues and it's still working for those devices. What's special about the Touch HD?! Does USB have different polarity specs?
Anyhow the seller said he can replace it again but I need to pay the return shipping this time.
What is baffling me is that the phone can still charge when it's off completely but can't when it's on. Does it look like hardware or software problem? Also the USB can't be recognized in the bootloader mode but it could before being faulted by the charger. Does anyone have experience on faulted connector and is there a fix besides replacing the entire motherboard?
Your help and suggestion is much appreciated. Thanks!
The Advanced config Utility has an option for "USB Charging" maybe you could install it and see if the option says yes?
also me... now i figured out what the real problem
i used my old miniusb car charger about one full day before and the same problem start with me with slight different which is charge if i keep it plug in long time...(start charging after 5 min.)
i'm really lucky by not completly dameged
this issued must be listed and get real answer from HTC compeny if the mini usb for hd is different
i am new to all this windows mobile thing .. bought a used hand HTC HD2...
thing is i tried to connect HD2 with charger but there was no charging sign on mobile screen... after that i tried to connect it with my USB and cell phone starts charging...
turned off my cell phone.. reboot again and now when i try to charge my cell phone through USB wire nothing happens.. Windows Mobile Device Center shows that my cell phone is connected with my PC but there is no charing sing on my cell phone.
I have a extremely basic idea of what you're trying to say. So you tried to hook it up to a wall charger, but it didn't charge. Then you hooked it up with a USB cord and it started charging? Now it wont charge through USB at all? Sounds like the USB port on the phone is busted.

thats right.... but if USB port is broke then why Windows Mobile Device Center shows that is connected with my PC :S
Sounds like a faulty USB port on the phone if a wall charger wont even charge it.
Just to be sure, go to the settings tab in Sense, click on About Phone, then Battery, and make sure that checkbox that says 'When phone is on, do not charge the battery . . ." and make sure it's unchecked.
already unchecked that option. if USB port is faulty why WMDC showing it is connected with PC?
Only the power part, and not data, is dead?
I would take out the battery & check the pins that make contact between the phone & battery incase they're damaged or bent.
Also could be a faulty battery or loose connection on port?

i was thinking the same thing had it happen to me before. the middle pin was bent up a little i just bent it back and all was well from there.
last night i left the phone... now in morning i just changed the Sim and connected again and now its charging...
I am confused because i cant pin point the exact problem...

all these problems i am facing is it because of rom
Hardware:
QualCOMM(R) 8250B
Speed 1024MHz
RAM 448MB
Flash Size 512MB
Software information:
OS version 5.2.21864 ( 21864.5.0.81 )

The HD" doesn't actually show a large battery charging animation across it's screen when it's charging - instead you just get a light illuminated on the earpiece speaker so it's not that obvious that it is charging compared to other devices.
HTC HD2 Leo Charging Problem
If youre having charging problems then my best advice is to remove the sim card and charge it.
It works that way for some reason. I tried everything from trying different chargers and different usb ports. I tried plugging it in to a computer but nothinig seemed to work. So i removed the sim card for no reason and plugged it in and booom It worked!
Hope This Helps-Drian
htc hd2 charging problem
strangely enough,removing the sim card actually allows the phone to be charged....weired
thankss
some slight oxidation (not visually detectable)
For those people where the phone charges without SIM Card:
Since SIM Card is so close to battery, could it be that the contacts of the battery are not making good contact?
It looks like fumbling around with battery helps with your problem.
Have you tried charging with SIM Card and just fumble with battery?
Looks like you are suffering from poor contact between phone and battery. Perhaps some oxidation?
Another solution/test:
Take soft normal pencil (no colouring pencil, B, 2B or softer) try colouring contacts of phone and battery with pencil taking care to "stay within the lines"
This does two things: leave a residue of carbon, which favors making contact and scours slightly removing slight oxidation and or grease, removing that favors contact too.
Similar Problem
I have the same symptoms BUT the device charges under Windows Mobile and NOT Android. I have had the android os crash last night when I didn't know that it wasn't charging and just now it was at 40% and I had it plugged in and did a battery pull to find it dead. Looks like Desire v5 isn't allowing it to charge through USB. Very disappointing situation.
Thank you guys
I woke up this am to a dead phoen that owuldnt charge unless phone was off a quick search and this thread sorted.. I love this website..
To me it all sounds like a bad contact in the micro USB on the phone. I have personally a problem with this and I found this by moving the plug slightly during sync as it cancellers the sync and restarts it.
Now for another problem I have in this direction; I always charge my phone from USB and this gives me no problem, but every now and then (1 in about 10 charges) the phone is locked after disconnecting from power or it switches on OK but after that does not recocnize my password and the only way to get “in” is a hard reset (battery out). Is there anyone had a similar experience or knows a solution.
THanks guys i was thinking i may need to pay money for fixing but it works fine because of your help
Hi all,
After flashing the ROM v.3 Hyper-CM7 XMAREX my Leo does not charge the battery more.
The LED lights up, but the battery will not charge.
I tried the original ROM, but Windows is almost the same thing.
The LED lights alternately red and green but the battery does not charge.
Any advice?
Thank in advance.
Hi guys, i also have a problem with my HD2.
My USB port is broken and i brought it to several shops to fix it but they couldn't fix it.
How can i fix it myself? (And by myself i mean my own dad)
I recently flashed my Defy with 3.4.2-179-2 CEE DEBLUR and it reboots every time I plug in my usb cable. It doesn't matter if it's connected to a PC or to the power adapter. Anyone have the same issue and know of a solution?
I did a google search and found someone complaining of the same issue but didn't see a solution.
More background:
I had an issue with my phone and when I went to do a factory reset I was stuck on the google screen. My power ended up running low to the point where I couldn't run the bootloader. I had to charge the battery manually with a battery charger and some wires. I monitored the voltage throughout to make sure the battery was ok. After flashing the new SBF I found that things worked fine except whenever I plugged in a USB cable it would reset. I put CM7 on the phone hoping it'd help but the problem still lingers.
I will probably attempt to flash another SBF or maybe reflash the existing one.
Does this problem only exists if the phone is fully booted or does it happen if you plug it in while booting also? Because if its happening while booting too maybe your usb cable is broken and theres a short in the cable that makes the defy reboot. Have you tried another cable? And what about plugging the cable in before booting the phone? Tried this already?
I encountered this problem occasionally before. Dunno why.
There's 3 possible issues here apart from software/firmware causes.
1) The USB cable might shorted.
- This can be confirmed by using multimeter to test the usb cable. You will see a shorting between to wire in the USB cable.
2) The Phone USB port might shorted.
- This can be confirmed by using another good/new usb cable and test it with multimeter.
3) Phone battery broken(happened when you charge it using wire and external charger).
- This can be confirmed by trying another Defy battery and charge it.
hi farsight,
upon further inspection i'm pretty sure the usb port is shorted because if i squeeze the bottom of the case the phone will reboot.
is there any way i could fix this? I've looked at some videos for the disassembly of the defy.
hi iregistry,
yes the issue occurs if the phone is fully booted and when it's booting.
quit risky la.. if under warranty, why not claim/RMA?
hi adie, i bought it new on ebay and i'm not sure how the warranty works on that.
[solved!]
after further testing I believe it was because the battery contacts were not as close together as they were originally due to me manually charging the battery. It must have been right on the very edge because it would work normally but just squeezing it would make it lose connection.
I used a pin to push the contacts closer together and hope this solves the issue. I've plugged in the usb and squeezed the case and so far everything seems ok.
IMO this is a poor design on motorola's part. the raised contacts on the phone are nice but the contacts on the battery are poor.
Thank you everyone for responding.
Had the same issue. Your solution worked on mine as well. Pushed the contacts on + and - in, and it worked! Thank you!
I had the similar issue. I had attempted to charge battery with external universal charger and looks like since then this issue where "phone would reboot upon unplugging the power source" started. Now as mentioned in this post, put the +/- pins bit closer and tried unplug and no issue observed so far.
Thanks. :good:
I too have the same issue. I tried to charge the battery with some direct USB.
Today I dropped the phone on my bed from 2' height and it got restart. But its quite surprise to see the effect of the USB plugin with the battery connector loosing up
I am thinking of putting a small alumunium wrapper on the +/- connector. Let see.
Hi guys!
Recently I have been using tyting's NexusHD2 ROM and have been having strange charging problems - the phone would charge slowly and inefficiently no matter the battery (I have two original batteries) and the charger (I have two original chargers as well). Yesterday the phone would not charge at all, although there were indications of it - the LED light and so on... I decided to have full wipe by installing the original Windows and I did not have any problems doing it, but the charging problem remained.
What is the problem - it is obviously not faulty USB since I managed to install WinMo, neither it is from the battery or the chargers.
Is repairing difficult (and hence - expensive ) and can it be done by anyone with decent hardware and electronics knowledge? Or should I just buy external wall charger?
Thank you in advance! :good:

IMHO your usb port is faulty even your usb data transfer is still running, but charging is not...
Repairing/replacing your usb port is up for professionals with appropriate tools, skills&knowledge.

Well, that is odd. I thought it could be the voltage controller in the motherboard. In any case, it seems that is a hardware problem, which sucks...
