Samsung i780 Charging Fault!? - Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other

Hi,
Can't seem to figure out whats wrong with my i780 so was wondering if anyone here has experienced similar problems.
My i780 don't seem to charge anymore when using the charging plug (plug it in, no charging light or charging symbol.. etc..)
Plug it in through USB, phone charges fine (charging light comes on, charging symbol displayed)
Now, I thought, oh must be the plug, so I tested it using the charging case... charging light comes on battery charges fine!!??
I would just forget about the plug but I can't seem to get a full charge just through USB.
So if my phone charges by USB, plug not working on the phone, but works with the charging case what could be wrong???
Anyone have any suggestions?

my i780 always show charg icon after upgrade...what the probem??????????/

i had the same problem as you. i sorted it out though. Do you mostly charge through the external charger?
i just kept on leaving it on charge for about an hour or so. Soft resetted the phone while on charge and then it worked fine. LED went on and the whole lot.
Try to charge your phone at least once a week with the battery in the phone. I can't prove that charging almost exclusively through the external charger does this but i have a suspicion. That is the only unusual thing about my usage pattern.
Has anyone had the same problem

Sync-charge cable charges to 100%, then discharges

I bought a sync-charge cable for my XDA II. When I used it, it started charging my XDA II from 53% to 100% charge. After that it started discharging , even though the XDA II said it was still charging. I eventually unplugged it when the charge got down to 92%. What gives? Anyone else with this problem? :?:
You are not alone
I have a 'Lill Sync n Charge cable, with the modifications to allow it to charge and it too reaches 100% then stops topping it up.
More strangely, it wont start charging for me unless I open up the Phone app, then plug the cable in! Most annoying. I thought it was just the mods I had done poorly :roll:
Even more strangely, it has in fact, been more reliable since I upgraded the ROM to the latest i-Mate version. Bizzare.
Same problem here, weird thing is the first few times it charged, then it started discharging, now I use the mains charger from my xda1 which works for both.

IanF, mind telling us about the mod you did for the sync cable? Did you put in a diode or something?

I've tried charging the XDA II using the cradle without plugging the power adaptor. After charging the XDA II to 100%, the cradle kept it at 100% (using only USB power). So it seems that the problem is with the sync'n'charge cable. Has anyone seen a sync'n'charge cable that not only charges the XDA II to 100% but keeps it charged at 100%?
Charge n sync cable ...
i had a charge and sync cable, but i find it really really strange ... when i plug in to the usb port, the orange led on the xda2 came on, indicating that its charging, when u go into the batter apps, i can see that it shows charging as well ..
after a while. i open the power app again and saw the power bar, in % keeps decreasing !!! whats going on .... ??
anyone encountered this before? btw, the charge and sync cable is not an original item.
[size=18]its charging now ...[/size]
what a heck ... it seemed like charging now ...
the power bar, in %, went down to 0%, then i unplug it (fearing that i might lose all data). was about to use the charger ti charge it, then i tot i might as well do a soft reset and try charging again ...
viola~~! it shows charging again and finally, from 0% to 1% in about 1 min time!! so i guess using a charge and sync cable to charge the xda2 will first discharge the remaining power and charge from 0% ... anyone to confirm on this?? its really annoying ..
conclusion?
well, the xda is charging near 30% now, but just wat makes the xda 2 charging ... ? it was discharging all the way till it reaches 0% ... then i did a soft reset and it went charging up now ...
was it the soft reset that sends the xda2 charging? ... or was it really had to discharge to 0% before charging up?? ...
puzzled ..
Odd... but it works
I tried using the Brando USB sync cable and it discharges... but when I had it synced I took the cable off and put it back after a few seconds it starts charging... hmmm....

[Q] [HELP]Phone will not charge

Today my Triumph seemed to be draining the battery faster than normal, though I was also making a lot more calls than normal. I have a cable plugged into my PC at work which I plugged into my phone but the driver install window didn't pop up like it normally does and my PC's network connection got very slow. I unplugged it and my PC connection was fine again. I left my phone unplugged for the most part after that though I did plug it in once or twice. I don't think it was ever truly recognized by my PC at work today (it has worked before) though I'm not certain.
When I was about to go home I noticed my phone was off. I knew it was low on battery so I assumed that it had turned off due to low battery. It couldn't have been off any more than 30-60 minutes. I didn't think it should have turned off already for low battery yet though.
I plugged it into my car charger and my phone refused to turn on. About 20 minutes later i unplugged my phone and the red charging light was still on. I had to pull the battery. I then turned on my phone and it was working, but low on battery.
About 45 minutes later I drove home with my phone plugged in, but I didn't check to see if the charging light was on. The phone was still on. When I got home I tried plugging in the phone and I noticed that it was not charging. It still isn't. I have tried the following:
Restarting phone
Plug in while it is turned off (charge light comes on but not charging animation, must pull battery for light to go off. phone will not start while plugged in or charge light is on)
Try plugging into computer rather than wall
Try car charger
Swap battery to stock battery (I use an Anker battery rather than the stock. I haven't used my stock battery for a few weeks to a month. It should have been fully charged but only had less than 50%) and try everything again with same results
Right now I have my Anker battery in which was nearly dead (below 10%) plugged into the wall with it off hoping it will charge. My phone is mostly stock other than I rooted it using the b_randon14's method, installed b_randon14's tweak mod, and flashed in the Sprint PRL using a method from howard forums with the 60681 version. I had links but had to remove them due to not previously posting on this forum.
I noticed the usb cable is not solid in the prot on my phone, but it never was and doesn't seem any different. For example I can move the cable back and forth a little bit while plugged in. It remains plugged in when I do this and while the phone is off it knows it is plugged in obviously. Any ideas?
Ok... I left it plugged in while off for an hour then it started working... very odd. Nevermind then I guess, lol.
Saw this thread, was going to suggest that. Your issue seems to be one that happens across all sorts of devices that have rechargeable batteries, even Android phones (and especially $&!t MP3 players that you'll find at K-Mart). I once made the mistake of buying a $30 MP3 player that refused to turn on once its battery dropped to a certain level. Twice. From K-Mart, of course.
Thank goodness for returns.
I am still having issues and it is really frustrating. Sometimes it will charge when on, some times it won't. The only thing I think MIGHT be common between when it does and doesn't work is how much battery is left. I think it might work more often when the battery is closer to a full charge. What I often do is plug in the phone, shut it off, it will charge but charging animation isn't there and I cannot turn it on until the charging animation shows up. I think it only shows up when the phone is fully charge or close to it (I've only ever seen it when it is fully charged).
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of concrete information on this as i haven't had much time to troubleshoot and verify any of my suspicions. I do know that USB Debugging has nothing to do with it and clearing my battery statistics didn't have any affect either. This issue is very frustrating and I believe are all software based, not hardware.
Any ideas or pointers?
Out of curiosity, have tried a different USB cable? I know that you talked about switching chargers, and I couldn't tell if this was just the base unit and you plugged the same cable in or, if it was a completely different charger and cable.
I have a wall charger with a usb cable at my office, a wall charger with a (different) usb cable at my house, and a car charger with its own non detachable usb cable. All have the same issue.

help with battery indicator!!

Hello, I got a samsung galaxy R i903 phone.
i use both the socket charger or the usb cable to charge my phone. but today, when i tried to plug my phone using the usb cable, it is not showing as the phone is charging. what is more strange, the battery indicator is showing as charging when it is plugged in. i tried to reboot my phone and take the battery out, in both cases the battery indicator is not showing correctly. i borrowed somebody else cable and tried, the battery indicator would show as not charging when it is plugged in. I then tried with the socket charger, the same also happens.
does anyone have this issue or know how to resolve?
thanks!!!!
Attempt to change your battery, if you can put a battery from someone who has s2 or r and see what will happen. What happens when your phone is switched off when you try to charging?

Why did it discharge, and why won't it charge anymore?

Two days ago, I turned my Infinity off and docked it. Both batteries were fully charged. A few hours ago I picked it up again, and the tablet wouldn't turn on.
I plugged it into the wall outlet. It started charging and I was able to turn on the device. It had 0% charge, and the batteries on the dock were also dead. What I don't understand is: how can the Infinity and the dock discharge completely in that time even though it was supposed to be off?
I left it plugged in so that I could use it while it charges. After some time, it asked me to connect the charger and then turned itself off due to almost dead batteries. Cable was still plugged in, though the charging light was off.
Tried connecting the cable to the dock, no light. Tried connecting the cable to my computer, it didn't work. So, the cable must be faulty, right? I can still turn the Infinity on, it'll boot normally and turn itself off after it's reached the lock screen. There's a red exclamation mark on the battery icon that wasn't there in the first time I turned it on, does it mean anything serious?
I had it drain to zero once overnight. Wasn't completely charged but it was strange... hasn't happened since in fact it generally has very good battery life.
I would definitely try a new cable and or charger.
Yeah, I've asked the store for a new cable. They'll have to mail it to me, so my tablet will stay dead for a few days. Now I know why propietary connectors suck.
Anyway, it seems I'm not the only one that had problems with the charger. Many people have reported overheating, but that never happened to me. The adapter that came with my Infinity seems to be a newer model; the plugs can't be folded or detached.
Charger: I had that happened several times to the SL101. Turned out I had something else plugged into the USB and the adapter was overloaded and tripped. Unplugged for a little while for it to cool down and reset itself.
What do you mean you had something else plugged into the USB?
Anyway, I've left my adapter alone for quite some time. I'll go see if it works as soon as I get home.

I was charging a small 700 mAh battery through the USB. That was enough to trip the AC adapter.

[Q] Battery does not charge always!

Hello, recently I'm having a problem with my Galaxy Core with charging!
This occurs randomly, few times only! Not always:
When I plug in the charger, as usual, it shows battery charging! Even after charging one hour, when charger is unplugged, the battery meter doesn't increase! I've tried restarting, cooling down battery, charging again, and it charged normally 100%. So, basically it does not bother me much, but just wanna know if this happens to anybody else, and as, I think, its a hardware problem, so I worry about it?
Another thing is if I connect my APACER B120 Mobile Bank, the phone doesn't charge, does not even show its plugged in. Other phones charges perfectly, even with the same cable. Has anyone tried charging with this, or any portable charger? Thanks!
sound like hardware problem man
Make sure your usb cable is working and use the cable you got with the phone.

I have only one cable, and it is the one I got with the phone. Cable works fine even on Tether/ReverseTether!
