So I am stupid, i think, no..I know!
I am out of town this whole week and didn't take my phone charger with me. I have a Samsung Blackjack, and fortunately or not, I brought the USB cable with me. I thought I could charge my phone using the USB cable and transfer songs all at once! It was a sweet idea gone bad because I didn't charge my phone last night, and it ran out of juice completely today!
So I connect the USB cable to the phone...and nothing. The phone won't turn on and the USB won't detect that something was connected.
So is there a way for this idiot (me) to recharge my phone somehow using the USB cable and my computer? Can I change some setting that sends the power to the usb port? *sigh*
I don't get back until saturday morning, so I would appreciate if someone could help me here.
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?
shall i phone vodaphone and ask for a replacement

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.
So last week I started to notice that my phone would not charge or connect to pc unless I rebooted. So I figured there something wrong with the the Rom, so I went and went back to stock with one click. I then installed DD with red recovery and AEON.. I still have the same problems not only that now my phone will not power up from when its shut off. It just shows an empty battery icon, but if I plug in the charger it will then show a full battery and turn on. When its on the battery shows that its 70%. If i unplug usb and plug back it will not continue to charge and will not connect either. I went out and bought a new battery and charger. Nothing changed. Any ideas or input would be appreciated??
thanks
Bad usb port on the phone?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
i'm a noob at this but bro it sounds like it may be ur usb connector.... maybe it got a little disconnect from the motherboard? maybe u have to solder it?? i hope u get it fixed bro
I don't think it's the port . Because it will charge and connect to PC when rebooted with USB plugged in.. It's just that when I plug the USB with phone on it does nothing.. And it will not power on unless USB is plugged in.. Other than that it's fine using it right now to type this.. Maybe it's hardware related.. I guess I should start looking for my next victim
maybe try formatting usb storage?? goodluck. back up everything

I will give that a try. thanks
The phone one day stopped charging, when i plug the charger it doesn't seem to recognize it, but when it is turned off and i plug it it starts charging but really slow (3 hours= 10%) and if i unplug it afterwards the screen still shows as if it is charging, if i turn the phone on while plugged in the phone says it is charging but again, really slow, if i use the phone while it is "charging" it discharges and when i unplug it, it still shows as if it is charging, NOW if i turn the phone on while unplugged it doesn't recognize the charger, also, i have tried to plug it to the PC but the PC doesn't recognize it either, the PC did play the sound of something being plugged when i entered in boot mode in the phone, i have already flashed another ROM and installed a different kernel, it doesn't seem to work, i have also disassembled the USB port (which is very easy on this phone) and nothing... Do you think it is a hardware problem? or more like a software bug/problem?
Please help, Im kinda new to XDA so sorry if i have problems with the redaction of the problem im having.
I'm also having issues with the port, but it does seem different than yours. For me the connector is just broken. Some cables still work (barely), other don't work anymore at all. Did you try with different cables?

So a coworker asked me to help out with his phone, said someone failed a flashing or something, ok cool I can check it out for ya...
Wont turn on unless plugged into a wall charger.
Wont charge on pc usb, battery screen loops when on wall charger, can power on while on wall charger but is bootlooping samsung boot screen and can get into download mode but that is it.
Cant connect to pc since it dies as soon as wall charger is unplugged.
I have tried leaving it on the charger for 12 hours, tried it in battery screen and download mode, wont power on without being on the wall charger...
Idk what to do guys, I'm decent at flashing things and tweaking with stuff, but this one has me stumped. I got the stock files for it ready to flash, just gotta find a way to be able to have it power on when connected to my PC
It is a sm-j700P boost mobile.
Any advice would be nice, thanks.
