Hi,
I have Palm treo pro that stopped charging, when I plug it into the charging cable nothing happens, I changed the battery with another good one but still the same, when I put a charged battery it works fine but doesn't charge any batteries.
Please help.
Thank you

hello everyone!
after upgrading to bigstorage my jam discharges when plugged to the charger instead of charging!!!
it charges normally through sync cable.
any ideas???
thanks!
Upgrading to BigStorage has nothing to do with your battery problem as myself and so many other users have done so without having such experience. You have also proven that by saying that it charges properly with the sync cable. For sure there is a short circuit in your charger causing it to discharge the battery. Check for dirt inside the usb connector of your charger.
Well, I've BigStorage too, but I haven't got the same problem. Maybe you should check what zerimar said, and if the problem stands still, you should buy a new charge cable.
One question:
Before the BigStorage, the charger worked correctly?
thanks for answeeing!
yes, before upgrading everything worked normally.
when i plug the charger the orange light lihgts up as it should and the in the power screen it says 'çharging' , but it doesn't charge!
i've cleaned the cables, the battery and the sim card but still the same.
everything else works perfectly well.
Well, I guess the only thing that hopefully will help is to do a hard reset.
hey...i got the same problem. i even tried hardreset and the problem still there. there is nothing wrong with my charger since my charger works well with other magician.
i think the main problem is the magician unit itselves. i just dont have time to return it to the store since my life depends on it . well at least it still charges with sync cable.
ok now i'm mixed up.
i did a hard reset, downgrated to the previous original rom, but the problem is there.
it isn't the charger because when the backup battery reduses to 50% with charger it gets back to 100%
so my charger discharges my battery but charges the back up battery.
i did a lot of search, a few other people had similar problems but no solutions
found!
Try to fully discharge the battery in a natural way by leaving your unit on then charge again. Do not use your charger to discharge the battery. If my memory serves me right I think that's what some posters adviced.
I still believe that there is something wrong with your AC charger. If you have the possibility of borrowing a charger, or go to a shop who sells Magicians and ask if you could quickly make a test.
thanks a lot!
i'll try now and let you know!
discharging the battery did not work.
now i'll try the new ac adapter.
if it does not work then i'll just curry my laptop with me!!!
thanks for your help!
new ac adapter and everything works fine!\
thanks everyone!
Glad to be (and others) of help. Nice to know that everything is working fine and that you're happy.
i have an MDA Vario which doesn't work anymore.
it won't turn on or do anything .
it was working fine before i let the battery run out completely, as i forgot to charge it.
i don't have a proper charger, instead i was using a USB cable for a digital camera which had the same plug that fit in the Vario. it used to charge it when the phone was switched on.
does anyone know how to fix this?
do i have to buy a new charger or a new battery?
thanks.

Search here for the 9volt battery trick. There used to be an issue with older ROMs on like the Cingular 8125 where it wouldn't charge once the battery dropped to a certain point. There was a trick to "jump start" the battery with a 9v battery. Then it would charge again via USB or wall charger.
Once you do get it charged, you probably need to make sure you are on your carrier's latest ROM.
Note that while Razr chargers also use the mini-USB plug, I've heard some of the off brand Razr chargers will not give a good charge to a Wizard.
I used to have a hp pda and left it in the draw for a few months and couldnt charge mine, i had to buy a new battery.
Dont get a Razr charger it wont work.

Another possibility since the battery is completely dead is to plug in a charger (really should be a wall charger and not USB from a computer) and just let it sit for about 5 mins. Then press the on button (with it still connected to the charger) to see if it will turn on. If so it should then charge on up. If it doesn't I'd suspect the battery may be damaged.
thanks for the replies, i'll try the things you said
Hi everyone,
I've a brand new touch Hd (november 2008). Few days ago I report a problem charging the battery with the stock charger. The charge doesn't stop (always amber light and no green light of completed charge) the battery percentage stuck between 60 to 70 %. Only with the stock adapter. If I charge battery with another adapter (example with an original Apple usb ipod charger, with same specs) or with usb cable connected on pc the charging stop correctly. Another fact if I connect stock charger to the phone when it was at 100% battery charge, it dosn't start charging and no amber/green light appear.
Any clues?
Thanks a lot a excuse my poor english
Duff charger?

I think no because it charges the battery for the 60 % in my hd, and if I connect another device (an mp3 player or another phone) to the charger it charges correctly.
soft rest the device and try again

I wasn't impressed at all with my charger
after a while the usb socket didn't hold the cable tight so I had to wiggle the cable till it kicked in and started charging
changed to a usb socket-ed charger with the supplied cable
and now all's fine
Sounds very much like a bad charger.
I had this on a Tytn with the supplied charger. I had bought two extra ones for the office and the study and both of these were fine. It was too expensive to send the charger back for repair so I just stuffed it in the cupboard and used a USB charger.
Ok, thanks so much for replies. Now I'm thinking to sell my hd without the original charger.
Bye

Same problem
hey my treo charger broke and even if i bought a charger with the same V and mAmp specs it won't charge... anyone has the answer?
If you're sure the adapter is 1A then try soft-resetting the treo pro. Mine sometimes doesn't want to charge from generic chargers unless I reset.

I have the same issue. A few weeks ago it use to charge if I did a soft reset. My it will only charge from the car charger and not the dc usb charger. I have tried a few things that ppl have suggested but no luck. When it is plugged into the DC usb charger the red indicator light comes on but it will not charge even if I leave it charging like that fro 5 hours.
Appreciate any help or suggestions. Has anyone had this issue as well?
this has happened to me... i unplug then replug. works with normal palm charger. others seem to be weaker than the stock charger

I have the exact same issue.Also tried a hard reset but no luck. Anyone has any solutions?
i know that if you cover up the 2 middle pins betwwen the battery and the phone that disconnects the phone part.. and the battery can charge.. but even this is a huge pain. i love my phone but grrrrr.
Treo Pro car charger
Like so many other people, I have a lot of problems sourcing a compatible car charger. (Had a Palm one and it was crap before it stopped working). The suggested idea of shorting out the two middle wires on the USB cable actually works OK but it's a fiddly job.
An easy answer is to buy this charger. I guarantee it works as both a mate and I bought one and have no problems. It's actually advertised as being for the HTC Wildfire. At £3.99 inc. postage, it's a bargain
Unfortunately this site will not let me post a link
Go to Amazon and search for a charger for the HTC Wildfire. It is the one supplied by Cellapod

You are Genius. Thanks.
Hi. Got my hands on slightly used JASJAR and I was just wondering how long does it usually need to fully charge using USB and wall charger.
I left it overnight on the wall charger (which I doubt is an genuine one) and for 6-7 hours it charged to about 60-70%. The second time I connected it on my desktop USB 2.0 port but the result was same.
The battery seems to last OK, there are no sudden dropdowns etc. The device is freshly formated, flashed with TML WWE 6.1 (D.08.20) no applications installed etc.
Here is the pic of the wall / travel charger
Welcome to forums
Charging time may vary from original charger to another one.
Normally I left my Uni to charge before I go to sleep and when wake up is fully charged, and last me 28hr aprox.
USB charging I read somewhere it´s not recommended as shortens battery life (not sure if this is actually true but I have USB charging disabled)
Enjoy your great Uni!!
Thanks for replying.
What do you mean disable USB charging. Is there some other way to charge this thing? All I can see is the mini usb port on the back
I reflashed Tomal 8.9 and I bought the USB to mini USB with two USB A plugs that go in the PC. It is supposed to provide 1000 mAH and it kind of charges faster now.
Oh btw, I checked the battery and its not OEM battery, maybe replacement I don't know, but it works ok.
1590 mAH 3.7v
I was going to say in your original picture (charger) is only 500mA. The original Uni charger is 1A (1000mA). To 'fast-charge', you need the 1A charger, which I see you now have, so that's alrighty!
Yup it sorted out. Great device btw.
