Damn it..... i dont know what happened
it is still working perfectly yesterday
i did not drop the phone or battery, today the battery is still at 40% and as usual, before i went to sleep, i plug my phone on the USB Cable connected to my computer... but it is not charging.. and here i thought the error comes from my USB Cable , so i plug it into my wall charger ... but it is not charging at all!!!
and i thought, perhaps i have installed something , or some os faulty issue ... so i reset the phone via SETTINGS > About > Reset Phone
and after the reset.. it is still not charging...
argh what should i do... please help... anyone
i purchased this phone from singapore.. and i am indonesian.... the battery is currently at 30% , i am so afraid after it runs out of its juice, it will go away forever (because i cant charge it) T.T
what should i do....
(Is this battery and the one used on Galaxy S is the same? My sister has Galaxy S, should i try using her battery and try to charge it from my phone? .... ARGHHHH the omnia 7 is not even available yet in indonesia) T.T

you sure it is the charger?
You are talking about the wallcharger right?
usually it already charging via USB Connected to a computer.. but this time... the computer does not even detect if anything is connected.... (nothing happened when i plug this phone to my pc, usually there is a notification sound playing and my zune will autorun)...
damn it ... why this happened.. yesterday it is just fine (

damn it .. i am sleepy already..
i will go and sleep for now.. and left my phone turned off and plugged in the WallCharger
and hopefuly.... sigh.. it is still charing although no indication whatsoever is showing that
MAN... should i just try bang the damn battery hard onto the table... perhaps some of the chip inside the battery is misplaced by whatever unknown forced?!
damn it.. i never dropped the phone.... ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
this is so frustrating

Relax
Relax man your charger is bad.
I have the same problem but my girlfriend have a Wave and start using his charger and everything works fine.
Buy a new charger

question
can i use any charger from any phone for this Omnia 7?
(the one that has USB Output of course, such as xperia1 charger)
if we can, then it is also not working.... and why suddenly it wont do anything when i plugged it in my Computer USB
the very same computer works perfectly yesterday, and suddenly it is not working..
I suspect either one of these is the problem :
1. the micro USB Connector in the Phone is broken somehow , hence the when we plugged it on, it does nothing
2. the Battery (which if i am not mistaken has a chip inside) is broken, hence explain why it is not charging at all (which a bit does not make any sense, if it is just not charging at least when i plug it on the computer, it should still detect this device...)
I am from indonesia, i can ask my friend who is returning from melbourne to purchase a new battery and new charger hopefuly
Okay to make things simpler.. i have a sister who own a Galaxy S
can i use the galaxy s wallcharger to charge my omnia 7? ah hell,i will try it anyway...

okay according to this
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I917ZKAATT
it goes great with galaxy s standard battery...
so i suspect, i can use my sister galaxy s standard battery and try to charge it using my cellphone
and i can also try to use my sister galaxy s wallcharger to charge my battery...
okay lets try ... hopefuly.... it is only the battery.. i can easily purchase a new battery... if it is the USB Connector on the phone... damn, how on this green earth can i charge my battery? OH we can use the kickstand battery charger?

hmm suddenly it is working now :O
thanks God... hopefuly it will never ever happened again T.T

Great it is working again
Any possibility that there is a way that the device forces a full recharge cycle to calibrate the battery?
Honestly i guess so.

I have the same problem...i can t charge my i8700 at all...what did you do to charge again???...i use a universal charger where i put my battery ...this happens for two weeks now..

Try allowing the phone to run out of battery and turns off, then plug it into the charger, i would love to know if this is a failure or be design behavior.
Put the battery in the phone,
Wait untill the phone goes completely off.
Plug the phone to the wall charger.
write back here

i tryed this but the same problem it turns on but only while the charger is pluged in when i pull it out the phone turns off...i try to hard reset nothing..there is no update to work with non retail devices...the phone is from three uk...i m from romania there is no way to return there to an service..(

Having the same problem. Been working flawlessly.Plugged it in a couple of hours ago,but it doesnt appear to be charging.
When I use the USB charger on the PC, it is recognised, and Zune opens up fine and Phone shows up.
Have tried two Mains chargers, the Omnia 7 one and the one that came with my Galaxy S, same problem.
EDIT:
Left it plugged in overnight and it charged fine.Used phone, going down to about half battery.Plugged it in and seems to be charging without a problem!

I've got the same problem as you guys for a couple of days now.
Thanks for your reactions i will try everyone of them untill my omnia 7 charges again

Do you have a bit of battery left?
Windows Phone 7 devices power up when you plug them in. Maybe the OS is not booting and because it is S-AMOLED display we cannot tell if it is on or not.
Try Hard Resetting without booting WP7

Make sure you have a bit of power though, you don't want that to stop in the middle of the proccess

This has happened to me a couple of times. I think it's just a reporting bug, the battery is actually charging. I just have to restart the phone and it magically has charge

battery is charging too long
How long does take to fully charge the battery? For me it's about 4-5 hours with wall charger. Should not it be faster?

Mine is about the same for a full charge and I have also noticed my Omnia 7 not charging properly when I plug it into my MacBook Air however it does seem to charge fine on my Dell laptop for work.
Maybe the Omnia 7 is very sensitive for charging over USB on a laptop and needs a certain voltage for it to charge properly?
What works for me:
1. Original charger
2. iPhone 4 charger
3. iPhone 3GS charger
4. Blackberry Curve charger
Not tried any other micro-usb cables yet but will do at some point in the future.

I had the same problem too. The battery was suspiciously showing high levels for the last three days (went without a charge!). In the morning, the alarm did not go off, and I realised the battery was dead dead! Charged (wall charger) for 1.5 h without any use -- would turn off if I unplugged. Tried with the USB cable too (connecting to computer) and no use.
I read this post, and tried with the wall charger again, and it shows me ~60% battery, and seems to be charging normally!
Will post an update, but really seems like a forced discharge cycle to me too!!
Thanks for this thread, and I am interested in seeing if any more ppl are seeing such issues!

At least once, but sometimes twice a week, my battery keeps discharging while my Omnia 7 is attached to USB. And even the icon shows it should be charging.
The solution I use is taking the battery out for 10-15 seconds, put it back in, switch the device on, and charging works like it should be.
I hope they come up with a solution, because it's quite annoying.

Defy Not Charging - Question Mark?

Hi all,
Hi hoping someone could help, a guy at work has handed me his Defy as its not charging. Plugged it in and after the M splash screen it goes to the battery charging screen. Only problem is that just shows a massive question mark ? Anyone know what that means please? My ony thought is its not a a genuine battery so the phone is having diffaculty reading the charge level or something ?
Cheers

I can think of three reasons why the battery why the battery wont charge:
You are not using the original charger
You don't have the right battery
The battery is defect
It is easy to test point one: Just plug your phone in an USB-port of a running PC.
Otherwise you could buy an original battery, or if you know someone else with a defy, swap batteries and test...

I too had same issue, used universal battery charger for charging the battery for some time and then on its working fine.

And you can charge it with an USB cable and a PC?

It just happened to me two days ago. A battery pull and put back solved it. There must be something with the connections. Got me. Only happened that one time.

I too had same issue,how did you solve !?

I too had same issue in 7 mounts

I have the same problem. If I connect my defy to a pc the white LED of charging turn ON but it doesn't charge. It can boot but it turn off after the boot because have no charge!

you could also have a wrong battd!

I have one charger that charge some android phones ( old xperia and samsung) but doesn't charge my defy or a newer samsung.
Anyway, I use an original samsung charger (don't buy those cheap $1 ones) and it can charge any phone.
It's strange because the voltage written written on both is the same and so is the mini usb plug (the amps are higher on the original though).

Only the original charger that came with the phone will charge mine. Any other charger and I get errors.

Happened to me that the brand new battery didn't charge, just a question mark on the notification bar(I even charged via mcGyver Style). Check your connection pins on the battery between + and -. It couldn't check the battery load status. Check yours if still have the problem.

Ya are saying use a usb charger to charge our android but ya are not solving our problems for those who like the charging pads mine charges when phone is on and in sleep mode however when turned off and on the charging pad it shows the question mark on the battery symbol the phone works fine with the charging pad when in sleep mode just not when its turned off I like to just take my phone off the charger and go instead of unplugging it.

[Q] U8800 X5 Battery Not Charging

Hi Guy,
First post here. I looked around and could not find a solution to the problem so here we go:
So I have a U8800 X5 which I've rooted and installed Clockwork Mod and the MIUI Custom Rom.
I had been running that set up for about 3 to 4 weeks and it had been going great until recently when it started acting buggy. A few hours ago I used my phone until the battery fell to about 3% and while the phone was still on, I put it on charge.
It said "Charging" but the percentage was not increasing so I went to sleep with the phone still on charge thinking maybe it needed some time.
Now, in my sleep, the phone turned off and it will not turn back on. I have tried plugging it into another socket, charging through my pc, taking the battery out and putting it back in but every time it's the same result:
The 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen light up and the LED next to the speaker flashes red. There is NO activity WHATSOEVER on the screen itself.. I personally don't think it's charging.
Is it my battery? Is it the ROM? Is there a solution? :/

And I believe that the U8800 also works without a battery if the charger is connected (by getting power directly through the Mini-USB Cable).
It refuses to turn on when I take the battery out as well.

the same thing happened to me. it was a problem with the usb cable. i bought a new one and everything works fine again

Well, first of all try to connect it to a computer USB port with a different USB cable. If it still does not charge, then it might be that your batter is dead. OR if you're unlucky then there might be something wrong with your phone (though I don't think that. Most likely it is your battery)
You can try to connect your battery to a separate charger and see if it charges.

[Q] Nexus 7 no longer charging or being detected at all

Hi there,
Last night my Nexus was intermittently being detected via my laptop nor my PC (on a number of different ports) and when I tried to charge it, it was detecting the charger intermittently too - I tried a new cable and turned it off and it came up with the charge animation in the center of the screen.
However, when I got up (~7 1/2 hours later) it had only charged 27% (up from 1%) and when I unplugged it to plug it in in the other room it has decided it will no longer detect the charger at all.
Any ideas? It's fairly new (Appr 2 months old) Or is it a warranty job!
Cheers
Edit - Using original cable and original charger, however I have tried a different cable and that didn't work. For some reason, the battery goes to the 100% icon in the tray (but it doesn't appear to be charging, i'm not sure if this is a red herring or a sign of something else)

Does it turn on/boot up into android okay?

[Q] Charging Problem

Hi,
By battery was running low so i turned the tablet off, plugged it in and went out. When i came back i turned it on only to find that the charge was at the same level as when i left it. I first thought it was the charger, but after testing it was fine. On plugging the charger back in the battery symbol comes up and shows that it is full, before the screen goes black for a short period before the symbol comes back up again showing it is full (Im unsure if it normally does when charged as i cant remember)
I then turned the tablet back on and left it to charge. The device charged slowly, but when i checked the battery status the tablet claimed that it was NOT charging.
Im worried that when it runs down it will not charge to turn back on. On the other hand it might recognise the battery is flat and charge normally.....
Anyone got any suggestions?

Update: I left it on and plugged in overnight and it charged back up to 100%, albeit very slowly (I woke up once and checked and it had only reached 75% after about 4 hours).
So still not sure what to do. Factory reset?

Even i had the same problem
Try changing ur usb cable,
it worked for me

Stock USB cable lasted one day for me. Absolute garbage. No problems using the stock cable from my ancient HP Touchpad.

Sorry to jump on a fairly of thread, but....
Hi Barking Mad,
Did you ever get to the bottom of your particular charging issue? I've bought a TN7from ebay, and I'm having ng exactly the same problems as you described. Not really charging when turned off and the screen showing the charging symbol for a couple of seconds before going black and then showing the same symbol again. It will charge whilst turned on, albeit it very slowly.
I was just hoping you may be able to shed some light on my problem for me!
Thanks
David

make sure you use a hi capacity charger 1A plus most phone chargers are too low and will only trickle charge when the unit is off, also my four came from ebay with no power faults and I patched a QI charger inside the casing as the usb ports had failed.
I'd do that to any tn7 now as the port is just too fragile and might be needed for an emergency recovery.
