also if i wasn't clear enough please feel free to ask questions because i am stuck on a 1.6 stock ROM and i miss hero thankyouagain
Mine has the same problem, I'm waiting for the replacement to get here.
do you know the last thing you did before it stopped working?
Similar Problems -- Am I screwed?
I have a similar problem. I don't know exactly what happened before the problem started (I'll detail my best guesses in a sec.)
Here's what's happening:
* There's no USB connectivity -- not on Mac OS X (10.6) nor on Windows XP. I don't ever get the USB icon nor the chance to mount the phone as a drive.
* It drains the battery realllllllly fast -- my 1500mAH batter went from 100% to 15% in 20 minutes. With the screen off. Bluetooth and WiFi were both off.
* It charges VERYYYY slowly. 2+ hours on the DC charger in the car did not get me a full charge. The LED thatused to indicate charging does not light up anymore when plugged in.
* It is very hot to the touch. At one point Battery Life Widget was showing a temp of 108F.
* Re-installing CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 does not fix the problem, nor does rolling back to 4.2.8.1
* I've tried several wipes and that did not work either.
The last things I can think that I did before the problem occured:
* I accidently plugged in the mini-usb cord that goes to an AC adapter on a CallPod instead of into the callpod adapter (i.e., it was plugged into the cord that goes to the wall.) This was for about 5 seconds before I realized the mistake.
* I had installed CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 the day before.
* I had installed and deleted a number of sill games and apps: Fat Cheese, Dialify, and a few others I can't recall.
Without an ability to get a USB connection, I can't use Terminal to try save files to the SD. That means I can't (as far as I know) unroot it right now. But, I'd sure like to try...
Does anybody have any helpful ideas or insights?
Thanks in advance,
jim
If your computer has a Bluetooth dongle, you can transfer files back and fourth to your phone, or just get a cheap card reader off ebay or Amazon.

Is a dongle required? I should be able to piggyback on to the Mac's built in Bluetooth for the mouse and keyboard, I think.
Any ideas what I might have done?
Thanks,
Jim
Yea if it has built in BT that should work, as long as you got somekind of pairing and file transfer program on your mac. The are a couple of free Bluetooth apps in the market you can use for swapping.
Well my usb went out when it was connected to my pc and the motherboard blew. The phone immediatly went black when it happened. I thought at first I fried the phone too. It still charges but any computer won't see a connection and the phone won't ask to mount. Its a hardware issue I guess, I tried several ways to get access to the phone via usb and failed.
so what should i do? send it to t mobile?...or call htc?......its unlocked and im using it on att.....i installed dwangs 1.6 and it stoped working
I successfully unrooted then applied the upgrade to 1.6. She's still hot, quick to discharge, slow to charge, and can't see the data connection via USB...she's going back to the retailer.
Now, I just hope that the Nexus One is real and out real soon.
Jim
@jkearns you could have a faulty battery.
@glendawg I don't know at this point since the phone is second hand. I doubt T-mo will do anything. Try htc see if the could offer a repair solution.
well now my acceleromiter took a ****.....
I just took one too, I feel alot better now.
Mytouch 3g
I have the same problem with my touch gets hot, but also when I remove the battery and plug the charger still get hot so I think is a hardware issue.
And I know for fact that some USB cords only charge your phone and no work with the computer, if you want to sync something, try an other USB cable
im having the same usb problem with my 32b but it comes and goes sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt so my question is should i take it in and have them give me the 32a version since tmobile doesnt carry the 32b anymore? is it that much better and is it easy to root like the 32b? sorry i dont mean to steal this thread but i just thought it would be pointless to open a new one about the same topic.
So I just got done with tmobile and there gonna send me a new mytouch 1.2 so im pretty exited I just have to run stock 1.6 for a couple days while it gets here and I forgot how much worse stock is

Hi All,
I've exactly same issue as "jkearns" outlines. It used to connect via USB and showed charging (very hot during charging though) but not anymore. I think I accidently got updated to 2.2.3 and that probably contributed the problem. I could perhaps stay on 2.2.3 but battery drains like hell (about 20 min life). Any idea to resolve this? Thanks in advance fellows.
Thought I'd pass this fix along.
I have a rooted nook that would not power up (stuck on last display screen). When I'd plug it in -- it showed a GREEN light (already charged). I tried all of the reset fixes (20 seconds hold, 1 min hold, wait a minute, 15 secs) -- nothing worked.
Finally, I pulled it apart using this tutorial on Youtube:
[Can't post link because I'm a newbie --- just search for "How to Take Apart a Nook Simple Touch"]
Very easy to do if you have a T-6 torx driver. I unhooked the battery. Held down the power button (white button if disassembled) for about 30 seconds to discharge the board. Then hooked the battery back up, reassembled, plugged in -- and it started charging (orange light).
It looks like the issue was -- the nook was registering the battery as fully charged -- and it was completed depleted. The above fix seemed to reset it.
Hope that helps someone.

I also had this problem this afternoon. This procedure worked for me too. Thanks a lot because it helped to revive my reader.
However, for Nook to have such a problem and we need to fixed it in such a complicated way is not acceptable.
Fantastic. I had the same problem and now it is solved. Thank you.
After I bought a Nexus 7 my NST was resting for a while. Now, when I wanted to use it again, it was totally dead. Then your tip bring it back to life.
Thank you. When plugged, instead of "Charging (AC)" my nook was showing "Not Charging" in device info/battery. And in the end, it went dead.
After your fix, it works
That's the ticket

THANKS!
Just the tip I needed! :good:
Thanks!
That seemed to work
It's now showing the "Your Nook's battery charge is too low to power up. Please wait 15 minutes! screen and a loading animation :good:
I was seriously worried.
This is really weird...is there any reason for this issue?
I am quite new to the nook in general. (Nook simple touch glowlight in my case.)
Maybe we can check for similarities and find what was causing the problem.
So what did I do to my Nook:
Rooted, Nook Manager
Nooks gapps flashed, market downloads work (search not)
Installed a bunch of apps
Installed a custom Launcher (Lightning Launcher)
Installed Swiftkey as a custom keyboard (needed several language charactersets)
Left Wifi turned on all the time
Used the feature to restore the glowlight setting after being woken up again
Used the setting to skip the lock-screen swipe
Used a custom screensaver/lockscreen text
Changed button links in the main menu (n-button) to adress the original home, as well as the custom launcher home
That's what I can remember :/
And as far as I can remember I had more than 15% of battery (at least).
With the 1.2.1 software there is an automatic shutdown that kicks in at around 20% battery.
It doesn't work very well.
It will also give you warnings when it's under 20% but plugged into the wall and charging.
Green light issue, fix not work
I recently got a brand new nook simple touch and after trying various fixes to try and start my nook up I came across this. I was hoping this would work but it is still on green when battery is plugged in and charging off mains. The light is also green when plugged into mains without battery attached. It wont go past the "Fully charge before first use" start screen and can't find any more information on what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the fix. It worked the first time I tried but after only one day the problem presented itself again and after that the fix doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm leaving the battery disconected a few hours in addition, to try if it fixes this problem completely (but I'm not too optimistic).

This firmware, does it still count even if you have rooted the device? If so, do you think a downgrade to 1.1.1 would fix the problem? It is rather funny that I didn't have this problem until a couple of days ago, even if my NST is only 2 months old!
Update:
It seems that my battery is not yet dead after all. It turns out that I was measuring it wrong (thank you Engineering degree) and now it reads 4.15V as it is supposed to.
So, that brings me back to the theory that there is something wrong with my software. Right now it can boot for a few seconds but as soon as it goes to sleep mode (either by clicking on the "power" button or just waiting), it freezes. I recovered the official firmware and the problem persists.
Thanks, this trick fixed mine too!
Does anyone know if this fix can be achieved by simply charging the nook for an extended period of time? I have the exact same problem but I'm not so sure about opening the back cover as it voids my warranty and I only purchased this device in early June, and the problem appeared by the end of June :/
I have to confess, I never did charge my nook fully when I bought it as recommended, and simply dived in to using it as soon as the battery had a sufficiently high enough % as I was too excited lol

I find it acceptable. After all, if we weren't messing around with the devices in the first place, we wouldn't ever need to do this.
Plus, really, it's not that complicated. A couple of screwdrivers and it's open. I mean, should we expect it to open itself with a voice command or something?
Anders
Thanks, this method worked ok with mine.
HI dudes,
it seems I've got a similar problem, green light on usb and stuck on "YOur Nook has turned off completely"
I take it apart with no success ... any idea ? Mu NST is nearly brand new, ever used a lot ...
thanks
I had the same problem, the reason was completly dead battery. After bat replacement nook works great!.
When battery have to small voltage, noow won't start to charge. You can try with external charger, to bring battery to life.
I think some nooks was matured in stock, thats why battery was completly discharged...and wont charge with nook.
Nook showing green light, main board drain and nothing
My Nook shows the green light when plugged in either to the pc or wall charger. I've held down the button twice for 30 seconds and disconnected the batery holding the power button 30+ seconds. Neither worked. Any more suggestions? I do notice a slight flicker of amber whilst holding the button down with the power cord plugged in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

my evo will not stop charging when disconnected from charger and wont connect to comp pleas help need to fix asap
What Rom are you running ? What Recovery are you using ? What Kernel are you using ? You said it will not connect to the computer. Have you Updated HTC Sync ?
Not charging while phone is on..
Hi guys,
I am facing a very unique issue(basically i didnt find any thread which had the same problem as mine). My Evo does not charge while the phone is switched on nor can i connect it to my comp from the recovery after i mount it in usb mode. It charges properly while it is powered off. I have tried installing jellybread & mokeeos roms with tiamat kernel but they go into boot loop.
It is really inconvenient since i have to switch off the phone for it to charge. Please help.
The details of the system are below:
RoM: rooted stock rom from xda thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Evo/ROMs)
the kernel is also stock
I am using Amon Ra recovery 3.11
Please do help me out with this.
I figure its a software problem since it is charging properly when switched off.
Are you Full Root "S-off" ? Have you tried using a different charger / cable combo ?
TEAM MiK

evo charge issues
Yes, My phone is fully rooted and s-off.
also i have tried using several charger, cable combos.
When it is in fastboot, i can flash files, threre is not problem there, but when I turn on USB mode in the recovery, it does not detect on the computer.
Also It charges when off, but does not when fully switched on. 1 thing that i now noticed was that sometimes, it starts charging when switched on, and then stops after 1 minute or so.
Also the battery drains extremely quickly now. This was not the case before this happened.
It would be great if you could help me out here,

Sounds like a bad battery or bad charging port... cheapest way to test is to buy a battery from ebay or something. See what happens. If the same problem persists its a hardware issue with the port itself (which I think it is from the sounds of it). Or you can unroot it, load a stock Sense rom and go to a Sprint store to have them look at it.
You can also try cleaning the Charger port itself out. I've issues in the past with charger ports getting dirty, which causes a bad connection. But I would still defiantly try a different Battery.
thanks guys, will clean the port and also try a new battery...
will get back once i have done these...
I have updated and installed CM 10 with TWRP and JB gapps but my Nook will not charge when powered on. I previously had CM 10 just on the SD card running it from there and thought if I put it directly to the EMMC it would fix it but no luck. Any Ideas?

What CM10 version did you install? It seems the charging signal vbus is not turning on when your Nook is on or in sleep mode. Another app may be interfering with the charging function.
same exact issue I am having. I've tried many CM10 builds, paranoid android which I know is CM10 based, but it wont charge with the stock charger setup unless I turn the nook off. also having issues with win7/win8 not recongnizing in any fashion my nook when I connect it. I followed install steps 100% too.
so does anyone have an update on this problem or what to check or look into? no matter what nightly I flash it will not charge while powered on. if I power it down it charges just fine. this is using the stock charger, though using a normal microusb cable charges the unit fine on or off. if I flash stock 1.4.3 software charging while on works just fine. this is driving me crazy.

How do you know it is not charging? The color of the lights, or are you counting on some software to tell you.

Were you on CM7.x using Nook Tweaks host mode (not host/vbus mode) prior to CM10?
I know its not charging because one, the light stays green and does not change to orange, but two I go into battery in settings and it shows no charge taking place. If I plugin a regular microusb cable though it does show a charge taking place. As for CM7 and Nook Tweaks, no I was originally on stock 1.4.3 software and used manualnooter to root and get CM10 installed and had the same problem. I then proceeded to try out paranoid android which I know is based on CM10, then I tried a couple different CM7 roms but went back to CM10.

You need to get some better software to tell you exactly what is happening.There are lots of them out there, some free and some paid. What you want is an app that tells you how you are connected, USB charging mode or AC adapter.
I use a paid app, Battery Monitor Widget Pro. It tells you how it is connected and the net current draw or charge rate.

As I've said in another thread regarding charging on CM10 based ROMs... I am having the same issue and am trying different configurations to narrow down the cause.
I currently have CM7.2 on SD... CM10 on eMMC... when booted to CM7 charges fine... prior to CM10 on eMMC stock would charge fine as well....
When I am booted to CM10 the light is green and displays discharging on lock screen... and in fact does discharge the battery... as soon as it goes dead... the light turns green.
When booting up... the ligh stays orange... right up until I choose eMMC Normal from Cyanoboot menu... as soon as it starts to boot CM10... green light and no charging. Using USB (non-nook cable... car charger... etc) it charges even in CM10, even shows charging on lock screen... and battery level does increase if I leave the screen off.
Software to tell how its connected is not necessary atm. And as I stated in the other thread... I cannot blatently state it is the ROMs fault at this time... I have too complex of a configuration to rule out other possible causes. But have no solution as of yet.

My battery charges very slowly. I'm using the factory nook cable and charger, CM7.2, light is orange while charging, charges all day and I get 2% charge increase. Currently at 12% charge, battery monitor widget needs at least 40% to work. Battery might have died, but then it's had a relatively short life if that's the case.
Edit: No idea what the problem is, but the solution is to plugin in the power cable, and then turn off the Nook. Charges rapidly as normal.

I have been running CM7 for almost a year on my Nook Color and in the last few days I updated to a more recent rom.
Here is my new problem, My Nook Color will only charge while turned off. I have always been able to use my NC while charging as I use it as a semi tablet. Now I am stuck loving my upgrade but not loving the fact that it only charges while turned off. I have read others that are having a similar problem, yet I cannot find the solution. The closest I have come is someone mentioned that it had to do with a specific kernel that was accidentally left out. Can anyone assist me? I really do appreciate it. Thanks!
