hi everyone, i got a real problem here... my i-mate Pocket PC is not charging... i think that one of the wires in the charging connector (in the phone) is half broken.... but maybe this is not the problem, alse when i put the battery in the AUX battery slot available in on the cradel it is not chargint too (AUX BATTERY led is not turned ON). i dont know what is actally happening... please help.. i cannot charge the phone any more..!!
If you take the PDA and battery out of the cradle, and unplug the power to it, plug the power back in, and see if the AUX Battery LED flashes.
If it does, the cradle is still getting power, if it does not, then the charger, or cradle may be faulty.
With your device, you will have had a power cable adapter so you can plug your PDA directly into the power adapter without the need for a cradle.
Try charging your device with this to see if it's the cradle or power adapter.
no the cradel is okay... thanks.. but i found out a bigger problem .. one of the power strips in the connecter is broken thats why it is not charging.. still dont know what to do
I got a brand new tytn, and after 2 days i noticed a strange problem:
after a soft reset i plug my miniusb wall charger ( but it's the same with car cherger) and tytn start to charge. If I unplug and plug again my pda doesn't charge until i press the on/off button. Then if i switch on tytn it stops to charge.
No problem when i plug and unplug on my pc where i have activesync, so i think it's a software problem. Any suggestion

Same problem here, nobody has a suggestion?
I had this problem. Drove me crazy in the car when trying to use Garmin. Had same problem with JasJar but NOT with the K-Jam.
Its not a cable or charger current issue cause most USB ports only supply 500mA.
Try this and see if it works for you as it did me...
Plug in your cig lighter charger, whilst connected, reset the TyTn.
After that, mine started to work fine!! Weird EH? :shock: :shock:
Hi all,
I run out of battery today ( I forgot to charge it overnight ) and when I got home, I plugged the phone in the USB and nothing happened!!!
Unfortunately, I don't the mains adapter with me (I am always near a PC with a USB port).
Is it possible that I need to charge it using a mains adapter (considering it ran out of battery and it turned off) ?
I tried using a different USB port, and also checked the ports by plugging other devices, and the ports are working properly. I don't have another mini-usb cable to use.
any help will be appreciated

If the battery went completely flat, you may need to put it on the USB for 30 min, reboot it, and then let it charge normally.
You need to check your registry regarding USB charging key, there is an app, but I cant upload now, its in Phil's Extras folder, get it from there
You can toggle USB charging via a simple GUI
Is this normal? cant get it to charge while connected to my usb port?
It says it is charging in the power options, but can be on all day, and as soon as I unplug it its saying no battery left !!!
Also has the been an official rom update yet?
Check this setting

Hi, You don't have the box ticked in the battery screen do you ?
the one that says
When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC
this should be unticked.

Hi Dean
Now I dont have it ticked !!
Any other idea's?
The problem could also be your usb line or usb port. try some alternatives first.
Tried everything, different usb leads, different sockets even different laptops !!
Help
Same problem here. But i changed the USB cable and problem solved. Did u tried it, with the official USB cable from HTC? (I guess so, just to check)
Yep I did !!
Will try again when I get home though..
Thats strange... my TP came with UK power adapter, so I couldnt use AC power until I get an adapter (4 days)... in these days I always charged via USB (all night long)
Well I tried the official usb lead and it charged last night, Im now using the official lead again using same laptop and same usb port and guess what !!! It wont charge again
Have I a faulty touch pro?

Hi,
this is sounding kinda weird..
What kind of wall charger came with the phone, mine is a wall adapter that i plug the USB lead into to charge the phone
So i know my USB lead works as this charges the phone with both the adapter and via USB on any PC ( i have tried home and work PC's)
Sounds like it could be a handset issue then ???
mine is a Vodafone handset that i bought unlocked and flashed with a different ROM and its working fine..

Laptops can be a bit funny about USB charging, I remember one laptop I had wouldn't charge my phone (SE K800i at the time), unless it was on mains power. The laptop had to be powered up while on the mains, with no USB devices plugged in, then it would supply power to the ports.
My work laptop is also a bit funny about it, I had to disable powering down of the USB ports otherwise it won't power them back up, but since if nothing is connected there's not much of a problem. There is also the possibility it's powering the port, which will charge the phone, but not enough power to actually make it worthwhile, you can check to see how much power is going to the ports by looking under device manager. So you might want to check it's not a problem with your laptop.

This is exactly what mine turned out to be. At work I've got a Dell Optiplex 745 tower and none of the USB ports put out enough power to charge my phone and have the phone on. I've got wifi turned off but the data, EDGE, is always on. If the display is on and I'm in Storage mode there's very little charging going on. It doesn't drain quickly but it definitely isn't going up. If I'm in sync mode it drains pretty quickly and it seems as tho it's not even charging at all.
What I do now is plug it in at work and turn off the display. Kinda sucks but I need my phone fully charged at all times.
I have the same problem....
the usb and the factory usb are different if u have looked carefully
firstable, the shape of the heads are different. secondly, there are 4 pins inside usb and 6 pins inside the factory usb...I guess that's the problem.
Try messing with the USB to PC settings. I know my TP was acting funny and not charging, and after i disabled network functionality, i think it started charging. GL.
Thamks for all the replys, if done everytjhing sometimes it will charge sometimes it wont, I have it connected to my laptop all day for internet sharing, it has charged up very slowly twive, and not at all 8 or 9 times, same usb slot , laptop plugged into mains, official usb lead used ( it never charges from another usb lead )
This is the 3rd htc Ive owned and the first to play up like this over usb !!

Have you tried it plugged into a desktop computer? It would rule out the laptop being the problem if it didn't work. You could also use a mini-usb cable, which could also prove if the official cable is a problem.
Having similar problem...
I'm having a similar problem. My laptop used to charge Touch Pro when i connect it. Now for reason i noticed that it doesn't anymore.
I could be wrong, but I thought I read in the manual that when the phone is synched to a PC, it only charges in trickle mode, so it doesn't recharge the battery efficiently. Is this the problem?
same problem here. Mine was working fine with ANY charger whether it be USB, car charger or wall charger. But now it will only charge with the htc plug but not the HTC wall charger. The plug is the one with the ports for tv-out, headphones.
I'm going to go try and do a hard reset.I dont understand what could cause this.
Suddenly as it usually happens it stop charging or connecting to the computer. I tried 3 different cables and wall charger. The only thing it does if I turn it off and then plug in the charger or computer cable it will start but it won't charge nor it will not connect to the computer. I think it's the port.

Try uninstalling your drivers for the phone and reinstalling them. That should solve whatever problem you're having with the phone not charging or connecting to the computer because it sounds like all of the drivers needed are not present.
I had this same issue. Mine would charge ONLY if the micro USB was plugged in ever-so-perfectly. The slightest bump would knock it loose, and it would not charge. I ended up buying spare batteries on eBay that came with a battery charger for around $12. Not the ideal solution, but I always keep a battery charged just in case it decides to die. I can get an upgrade in January, so I'm waiting this out.
Also, if you need to connect to computer, I just unplug my micro SD card, and plug that into an adapter and transfer any data that way. I know there is a website that will fix / install a new micro USB port on the Infuse. Sorry I don't know the link off hand, but I have read a few others that have had similar problems.
Best of luck!
