got an SDA with no prior knowledge of its history other than "it wouldn't power on" well when I got it the battery was completely dead "0 volts". Since I didn't have an external charger I did a little work to my external MPx220 charger "uses a 3.6v LiIbattery" to fully charge the SDA battery. I put it in and tried the key sequence to get the bootloader to appear.. no go. Tried camera button while I plugged in USB with and without battery.. nothing. So I left it plugged in while I was searching the forums last night for more information the screen turned white and all the keys lit for about a minute then it turned off again.. and I haven't been able to get it to repeat this since.. is there any hope at this point? Thanks!
now I'm confused.. I've seen yet another method for entering bootloader on the Tornado's http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Tornado the camera + botton on opposite side and power.. this doesn't seem to work for me either.. but which one is right? does the battery need to be in or out? usb plugged or unplugged.. I can't believe this device would be so "dead" as to not do anything at all.. will T-Mobile honor the year warranty of these new phones?
Is this model just so new that not much is known about it? I'm surprised that I haven't gotten any type of input yet.
the same problem
hallo
i have the same problem, please if you have found the solution, tell me or send me an E-mail [email protected]
To me it seems like the battery is not charging at all. I've seen this with Motorola Li-Ion batteries. Unless there is enough amperage in the charger, the battery won't charge, regardless of what it looks like. If you really want to go forward with this, one idea may be to get an actual SDA charger, or replacement battery.

Or maybe a Motorola charger? USB cable is 5v, Motorola charger w/USB connector is 5.9v. Motorola phones can charge from PC USB port/hub, but only if the phone is turned on. If phone cannot be turned on because the battery is dead, you need the wall charger...
I have an iPaq 111, part of the 110 series. It's been stored in a closet for over two years. I hooked a batter charger to the battery itself (outside of the device) to charge it up enough to be able to take a charge once I put it back inside the device.
Once I did that, it powered right up, and everything worked perfectly. Then I went to unplug it, and surprise to me, it shuts off.
I've tried EVERYTHING, HP doesn't even publish there ROM. Found a setup utility to download to my PC to access my iPAQ, but it's in German, and high school was a long time ago so it's hard to understand; but what I can understand enough is that it cannot find a device. Same goes with the extension I installed through HP's website, it only finds my HP computer.
I've plugged it into my computer and the light is GREEN, suprisingly, but it does not turn on. If I plug it into the AC power adapter, it DOES turn on, stays green, and once on the homescreen, shows battery at 100% (was 23% onwards today when I was charging it). My voltage meter shows about 4 volts coming from the battery. Contacts on all ends are clean. ROM issue? Yes, I have tried soft and HARD resets.
Any help will be much appreciated. Please please please! THank you!
Battery is not fine, its dead. The proof is the fact that on AC power it turns on, but not when connected to.USB. AC power has enough amps to directly power the device, USB does not. When connected to USB power is indirectly drawn, as the phone attempts to use battery power for operation while charging it at the sametime, thus lessening the total draw. It still however needs battery to work.
Basically, the battery is dead. By a new one of eBay.
icenight, THANK YOU for the reply, it was so quick. I have figured it was the battery, BUT:
I've checked the battery with a voltmeter and it shows over 4V- using my good Fluke. Also, when it's plugged in, it progressively showed the battery charging and it's now at 100%...
Are you still thinking it could be the battery? Not enough amps from the battery? I hate to sound cheap, but it's more about the wait- I want to eBay this iPaq since I don't use it and it keeps getting in the way!
Thanks again
iPaq still not working
New battery arrived. Still does the same thing. I've read around and it could be the ROM, but it wont stay on when plugged into the PC USB port. Computer sometimes makes a noise when I plug and unplug it though. Even put a homemade "in-line" power supply to it using a 5V 1.5A adapter. This allows it to stay on when plugged into the PC usb, but there is no communication. This thing is a pile of **** I tell ya.
Any help would be so much apprecaited. Thank you so much. I can barely get past these "captcha" thingys.
Regards,
Robert
Hello.
Yesterday I upgraded from KatKiss #018 to #019. Up to now #018 had worked perfectly, but today with #019 I noticed that when plugging in my charger (I don't have the dock), I didn't get the little 'flash' sign on the battery notification; going into the settings to look at battery usage, I noticed that i said 'Battery not charging' even though I had left the charger plugged in.
I unplugged the charger, turned off the tablet, and replugged the charger, and the tablet turned on, which it does when plugging in the charger and being off.
Has anybody had this problem? Is it really charging but not notifying it? If not, what can I do besides reflashing?
Thanks!
me too

No problems for me and most people I guess otherwise they would stay away from the rom if it was not charging
Try to power off completely your tablet, then cold boot.
Try to change cable, try to test with another charger.
If that doesn't help do a full wipe and a clean install and test again before reinstalling anything else on your tablet.
if that still doesn't help, follow the procedure to report an issue in my signature, I'm not psychic.
Hello.
I have a problem related to the battery as well. Ever since I flashed to #19, my tablet and dock battery seem to run dry very quickly in sleep mode. I have come home from work to occasionally find the tablet unable to boot (it had a dock charge of no greater than 75% and a tablet charge of 100%) and when I plug the charger into the dock and then boot it, I find both batteries have next to no charge.
This is only on timduru's KK#19. I never saw this problem on #18 and below, or any of the previous 'droid versions (4.3.1_029 or 4.2.2_226).
I am currently letting the tablet's battery run to empty and then I will be charging the dock and tablet separately, but this is the first time I've ever encountered this problem.
okay

Did you try another ROM? I'm on #20 and I think I have (mentionable) more battery life. Not charging issues. Guess the fresh installment / wipe helped or an energy eater didn't survive the reinstall. Also I could observe two things (which I don't know of if they are related): Sometimes when the tab was docked it didn't charge. Second the the tab hat a battery problem. When docked and in sleep -> Dock empty next morning. I controlled this with Juice defender but weren't able to locate the problem in an app. This is now gone.
From my experience: I bought 2 power cable for the TF101 (only cable). One works as USB cable with no loading feature (not on USB 3.0 nor on the wallcharger). The other one works as USB connection cable and as wall charger. I can extend the original cable with USB to USB cable to transfer data and charge. I can't get any of that both two (CHEAP) cables to load extended or trasfer data. The two cables I bought at ebay were diffrent vendors. One for ~2,50€ the other for ~4€. If I remember right the original cable where much much more. What I want to say: There are huge diffrences in USB cables. Dunno. It would be a strange accident that the charger or cable broke when / while you intalled a ROM. Could it be that the "intelligent" battery stats are broken somehow? So they think the battery is full and therefor not charge? Or would the icon / indicator then show 100%? Does the icon get its information from the same source (or directly from) as the android battery management?
(ps: 12 hours for 35%=! ROFL!?? What charger is that?)

if it takes that much time even when it's off, it means that it's only charging at 5V.
Also at 5V it won't charge unless the screen is off if I remember well.
There's a special pin/connection made in the cable for the charger to detect that it's a Transformer plugged that will make it charge at 12+V
There's most likely a pin/ contact broken either in your cable / charger /tab, that prevents it to charge at high voltage.

So you say you go with option #3 then because u already did option 2, right? Quote Tim on option 2: "Try to change cable, try to test with another charger.".
So you have 2 x THIS and 2 x THIS? Because that would mean, what Tim suggested I guess. As far as I know this is the only way ASUS shipps the original TF101.
I'm asking because most people that I know would buy another noname charger or even just a noname cable instead of horribly expensive original pieces. If you really got the 2 x 2 pieces shown above,
then I'd guess wether your tablet is broken or the software on it is broken. But again: Did the charging problem REALLY firstly appeared when intalled the ROM? Or did you install the ROM because of the
fault? Or don't you exactly know.
To point out again: It would be a strange coincidence, that both cables AND adapters would stop working exacly at the same time when u installed #19. If you use 2 different cables at the same adapter: Then it's possible that the adapter is broken and only gives the USB (5V) loading speed. If you use 2 adapters and 2 cables and tryed all combinations: The most likely something with the tab isn't cool. The software or the hardware...

Precisely what I meant.
Cheers.
I have loaded #29, and I started seeing this issue immediately. It was fine before that. After loading the ROM, it would only charge when TF is dead. I have the original charger and cable that came with it which was working fine before the upgrade. So, I don't suspect either of them.

I was going with #29 and #30. Havent seen or heard about any loading issues but that was related to loading the tab on an USB port ... What actually is an bad idea even on USB3.0.

Hey Guys,
i recently did change the Display on my D6603 Z3. It took some for the Display to arrive, so i did not charge the Smartphone at that time.
After changing the Display my Phone only gets a Red LED when plugged into the charger but none of the Reset combinations seem to work.
Also does the LED stop after sometime. Anyone has an idea what could be wrong ? Its a constant bright RED light.
Mine did a similar thing if I remember correctly. The LED should at least change colour when charged, stays red= battery not charging. I changed my battery and has been fine ever since even though it is a cheap one off ebay!
Presume you've pressed the tiny yellow reset button that's next to the sim card.
Just stick a new battery in it's not like it'll ever be waterproof again! lol

I did change the Battery but it seems like somethin is wrong with the USB Port. I got the Z3 Running now but suddenly i am not able to load it anymore. Its on and i have 40% Battery but when i put in the USB Cable nothin happens. Also its not regocnized when putted into the PC. Any tipps ?

Try charging via the magnetic port.
I tried that. It does not really work. When it connects then disconnects then connects again for about 15 times or more . The LED blinks orange the whole time. after that it starts chargin but it charges 10% in 6 hours
what i also noticed it that i wont get the message anymore that when the cover of the usb plug is unplugged.

what are the Battery Chips ? It is an original Battery from another Z3. I have 3 here now and got the same problems with all of them. It seems like that the charging power is not constant but it charges then stops then charges. Repeats like 2 times per second.
welleither u should try to getg an 2A charger and proper cable and retry. else ur usb port (z3 ones) might be defective
