I plug the charger into the socket and the USB cable into the phone. Everything is stock. It will charge for 4-5 minutes, then it stops. If I unplug it and plug it back in - still nothing. The night before it did much of the same, but I let the charger cool (as it was getting warm to the touch) and tried again and it was at 100% the next morning.
Last night I used my Desire HD charger (5v - 1amp) and it worked great. Stock is 5v - 2amp. So it seems to be there is a problem with my charger. Anyone else have this problem?

My charger make a strange hissing noise when phone has completed it's full charge, sounds like a fan whirring away inside it. But it does charge the phone. Maybe we both have a faulter charger.

I just recently bought a wall charger since I lost the original one a while back. I've been charging via USB this whole time (maybe 6-8 months now). Anyway, when I charge with the wall charger, it'll say 100% and the green light would turn on (instead of the orange/amber for charging) so I assume that it's done. As soon as I unplug it, it drops maybe like 20-30%.
Is this a problem with the charger? Or the battery itself? I don't think it's battery since I've never had this problem when I would charge via USB. Could it be that my phone's just not used to being charged with a wall charger? Maybe because it's being charged faster with the wall charger that it's "used to" with USB? Any thoughts would be great.
No there's nothing wrong with your phone,if it gets charged via usb,then its fine.Fault is with your new wall charger,is it compatible with your phones specifications ? is it the original recommended or from other third party manufacturer ?. Wall charger must output a charge of 1.0 amp to fully get the pda battery,less then 1.0 amp will not charge the battery. Check this out,ok
Cheers!
My phone won't charge from a mains charger, it will charge from USB (Very slowly) and an in-car charger but not from mains. I bought another charger just to check that it wasnt the supplied HTC charger being faulty, and that doesnt work either. When i plug the new charger in the wall the charger lights up, when i plug it into the phone it doesnt light up.
The phone will charge fine from USB and the car charger, but when the phone is turned off it wont charge from USB. When i got the phone i thought i had charged it from the mains for 4 hours like the manual said, but im now thinking that it didnt charge as i didnt notice the LED lighting up. I'm wondering if by not charging it properly the first time i have damaged the battery.
I just tried the mains charger for my Jabra BT headset and it charges fine from that, but only at USB charging speed. But it charges when switched off unlike USB. I'm wondering if maybe i have done something in Advanced Config, i have enabled all the power saving settings.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what i can do and what might be wrong.
Hi,
I bought a wall charger for my N1 today. I was searching for one with 1000 mA output so the phone would charge twice as fast, but after having it on for a long time and seeing that it was only 22% charged, I looked at the battery status and it said "USB". I unplugged it, plugged the stock adapter and it said "AC", and started to charge at the usual speed.
Is there a way to have wall chargers that are NOT the ones provided by HTC charge at a normal speed? thanks!
Interesting... it happens the same thing with an iPhone charger, which have the same output characteristics as the stock charger. I never thought looking at the battery status
FWIW, you can easily see if your phone is charging fast or slow by installing the quick system info app (AC=fast, USB=slow).
I'm using the 1000 mA charger with the USB to micro USB cable that came bundled with the phone. Might it be the cable limiting the power?
I've been trying to figure this out too...
I bought a USB car charger to charge my phone in the car whilst driving.
However even with my phone on standby it still loses power.... I don't know whether it's because I'm using the USB cable or the charger is inferior.
It is rated a 1000mA (the charger).
I bought the HTC car charger from expansys.. bit costly at around £20 for a charger but it works perfectly for me. Drove 4 hours with copilot running, and battery remained perfectly charged
As well as the stock charger, I often use a pikie USB charger with a Nokia micro USB cable... phone reports an AC charger in use.
Totally stock (but i don't think it matters).
Plug the phone in, orange LED comes on.
Hold it or place in on the counter five seconds later, LED is off.
Had the phone since 6/4.
Anyone else having issues?
Are you using the AC charger ? I have two Evos and one of the chargers does what you are describing. The orange LED comes on and then goes off after a while and the phone stops charging. Does it on both phones, the other charger works fine with both usb cables.
Are you using the USB charger with a computer or laptop or plugging straight into the wall with an AC charger?
This does make a difference because if you are charging with a USB + laptop combination you could be suffering from the computer going to sleep and disabling the USB ports power to conserve laptop battery life. If you are having the issue when plugging into the wall, try plugging into a computer and selecting the "Charge Only" option when your USB debug comes up. Once it does this, allow it to charge for a period of time and then turn the phone off, switch to AC power plug and see what happens.
Perhaps you had some kind of over voltage spike on the charger through the AC plug. I could see it possibly tripping something in the phone to stop taking charge to protect the handset.
Also make sure if you do use a laptop, use a USB 2.0 or better port. More power and faster connection. Gotta love it.
Your charger may not be sourcing enough current anymore (for whatever reason). I have seen the exact same behavior with USB car chargers that were only sourcing 100-150mA.
Have you tried plugging the USB cable into a modern desktop PC? (Some laptops have reduced current ports, so a desktop is a safer bet)
Its definitely a current issue. I tried to charge my phone using my bluetooth headset's wall charger, but I got the behavior you are describing. The bluetooth headset's charger just doesnt put out enough current.
Are you using the charger that came with the phone? if so, you may want to exchange the charger...
im having the same problem when i connect it to my desktop, it sees it for about 2 secs n then disappears. My computer at work has no problem seeing the phone. i wonder if i need a driver or something for my usb ports, anyone have any ideas??

Probably not a driver issue, but that that rail from the power supply is either undervolted (say 4.6V instead of 5V), or can't provide enough current (amperage) or both. If I recall correctly, the Evo needs 5V @ 1A (+/- 3% tolerance).
Phone not charging
my phone has been charging fine since I got it... even been using the night desk clock app while sleeping at night for the alarm with it plugged in... everything was good...
With my phone about to die today, I plug it in to the wall charger, the led/batter indicator shows that it is charging... then POW.. it says I have a low battery and it needs to be plugged in... WTH??? it is plugged in!
The only thing I did today was flash the new boot.img for the cap fix over in Toast's thread...
Weird thing now is that I took my hero battery and put it in my EVO, plugged it into wall charger, and it stays charging... So, I put my EVO battery in my hero, plugged it in, and whola... it's now charging...
Please help as I am baffled.

that's your problem right there. that custom kernel is known to have charging issues.
I'm having the same issue with my car charger consistently. Plus my AC charger less consistently. For example, I'll go to bed and plug it in, the next morning I wake up and see the phone is at 80% charge and isn't charging. At some point over night, it gave up. This is with the stock charger too.
Just arrived home from work now with 13% of battery.
I plugged my phone and then plugged the charger to the wall (Original charger).
No "Turbo Charge Connected" toast appeared.
After about five minutes i had 16% and it said i need 2 hours more to be fully charged.
i unplugged the AC from the wall, unplugged the phone, and then plugged again (but this time plugged the charger to the wall first and then the phone) and then i had the toast message and it says 36 minutes left...
I tried it again and got the same result
Is it normal?

Definitely not normal.
Turbo charge work fine if i plug my phone in 1st.
Well....
Maybe it's because i have the US charger and i need to use adapter to fit the electricity here in Israel ?
adapter like this:

*** EDIT ***
It is probably charger's issue. (Maybe because of the adapter)
I tried my Tronsmart charger (5 port charger with Quick Charge) and it works fine even if i plug the phone first...
**** EDIT 2 ****
I replaced this US to EU adapter to new one and now turbo charging is working fine even if i plug the phone first.
Thank you all

I had the problem and solved and answered on my own
I believe its due to weak first connection; whether because of extra shell(cover) or weak connection of USB when attached.
I made a habit of looking for the type of connection from the battery view(AC or USB) after i plug it in.
edit: I have the US charger too...
edit2: the problem disappeared, possible reasons:
maybe USB port or jack got loose and stopped causing the issue
or because I changed the cover I was using....
I have the same problem with multiple chargers. Getting a toast to say "turbocharge connected" happens only after I reconnect it twice. Seems like a bug in my phone.

I edited my previous reply, it may help; observe/do accordingly and report if there's any improvement or not.
There may be another issue due to detection of the phone as a quick charge 2.0 capable device therefore the adapter not charging with full capacity.
Remove extra shell/cover/frame before and plug in firmly at once.
