Unable to Charge HTC TOUCH PRO Via a usb/car charger

Hello,
I have a VODAFONE BRANDED, HTC TOUCH PRO phone and it has started playing up suddenly.
It would charge when connected to a pc, car charger using a usb cable or using any mini usb charger. all of a sudden it has stopped charging with any other charger except its own htc wall plug charger.
I have tried a hard reset and still no joy.
the charge via usb is unchecked and it charges when connected to a PC.
However it doesnt charge with the following methods which used to work earlier
1. Motorola charger - mini usb
2. Using a usb cable and a wall output with usb
3. car charger with a usb output.
I have a htc audio out connecter. when i connect the connector, and then charge via usb it works in the car and from the wall.
is it something to do with the pins on the cables and on the device??
I used to get a menu asking the sort of connection that i needed (activesysnc, data etc) when connecting to the car charger earlier, it does not come anymore.
Its frustrating cos i travel a lot and find chrarging with usb cables the most convenint in the car, office or else where.
Could it be damaged pins on the device??
Any ideas/suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks

Its prolly pins because the mini USB is not a perfect fit for the HTC audio jack. I would use your HTC adaptor and run the USB through that.

Something might be blocking a less than 1000mah income charge..

On low battery (as in dead-battery) you definately need a wall-plug charger. Under normal conditions the USB car charger or laptop would be fine.
Since you hinted the use of the audio jack I most likely is a bad connection on the USB pins. Did you take a look at them using a magnifying glass?

Ur problem solved? I am facing kind of similar problem... Now my Touch HD can only charge using USB cable through computer.. it will not charge using any other external AC adapter.. very strange huh?

100 % fix
I managed to solder the black negative wire to the usb housing of a male usb mini and now it charges without any problem. The housing is used as a substitute for pin 5 that is negative because it has a metal shield as standard.
to make it easier for some noobs, just get a usb female to a usb mini cable and cut it off and solder the negtive black wire to the shield cable around all the wires. AS standard all usb cable have this shield metal that conects to the usb housing.
This is a FIX if you have managed to break the pin5 when inserting the stylus in the usb rather than the RESET button.

I had a weird charging issue with my AT&T Fuze as well...
The phone would charge fine (wall or PC USB) until I got some kind of notification on the phone (missed call, e-mail, etc). Then it would stop charging. Often when it was on the charger and on, the battery would run down until the phone shut off. Then it would start charging again. I would put my phone on the charger at night (and on) only to come down in the morning to find my phone turned off and charging because the battery had run down!
Shortly after this started happening I also started to get "storage memory low" messages. Coincidentally, since I freed up a bit of the storage memory (cleared IE and Opera history) I have not had the charging problem...

mini-usb problems with charging
This is the 2nd Fuze that has problems with the mini-usb connection and charging.
Slight forward pressure is needed to get a good connection. This happens with two different cables, two different car chargers, and three different HTC usb adapter dongles.
My phone is usually plugged into my computer or my car charger, unless I'm carrying it. I keep the screen lit when on external power as I use it extensively as a PDA. It's real obvious when I lose the power connection, as the screen blanks shortly thereafter.

Do i need to send my fuze back? since I havent read a solution. I dont think its software but i turned on charging through usb and now its the only way to charge. No chargers work? Grrrr. Batterys and chargers are good. This happened to my last fuze.

not to be a prick or anytihng, but have you checked the battery settings, there is a checkbox so it doesnt charge when plugged in - i've knocked this on a few times myself

the OP already noted that that option was not checked. Please read a little before that.
My car charger sometimes need me to move the wires around abit before it starts charging. It seems to be more like a pin issue.

Mini USB Charging Problems
I had the same problem.
I just solve it by using other mini usb cable.
Now it charges.

HTC Touch Pro Charging via USB Problem Solved
I can't believe it was that easy! You are correct; There is a check-box that will disable charging via USB if the unit is powered on. "Systems/Battery" I have been putting up with this for months, but never took the time to try and solve it. Sheesh!

[Solved] USB only charging with third-party chargers

[Solution if you are facing USB-only charging with third-party AC chargers on your Nexus 5]
Hi Guys,
Initially, my Nexus 5 ONLY charged at USB mode with any other charger than the one supplied. I tried 5 chargers including the Trent 2.1A car charger and BB PlayBook high-speed charger. I also tries using the supplied USB cable with another charger but it was a slow-go.
Then, I noticed my buddy's N5 did not exhibit this problem.
My only solution was to reset the phone, log back in and charge with the supplied charger to 100%. Then, it magically started to show AC charging with other charges.
I wanted to share this with others in case they faced the same situation and were considering RMA due to hardware.
Kit Kat still have way too many bugs. (Settings is constantly crashing in the battery menu when I plug the charge in and out on two of our N5s.)

Thanks, I'll try reseting my Nexus 5 when I get home. Although, I havent been able to charge it using any charger not sure if the battery life is reporting correctly too. When you first saw the issue with yours not charging using the cable and ac adapter that came with your Nexus 5 did you happen to notice if your device was still asking you to connect the charger or not? Mine is still telling me I need to connect the charger or cable, even though I have my USB plugged into the device. I can send commands to the phone fine using adb or fastboot, just wont charge.

Unfortunately your trick didn't work for me with my N5. My N5 charges off of SOME chargers (The N4, N5, N7 2012, and Samsung 2.1 Chargers, as well as my EasyACC 1200 battery pack, only port 1.3 volt, all others show as USB.) My car charger fails, Duracell 2 USB port with 2A output, and so does every other battery pack that I own fail with charging. All report USB Mode. I think it has to do with the Quickcharge 2.0 or possibly the fact that this has G2 innards to an extent. The G2 has quite a few chargers reporting as "Slow Charge" rather than "Fast Charge." Quite Irksome but I suspect it will be resolved with an update soon.
To confirm that it wasn't a hardware problem of my N5, I borrowed a Coworker's N5 and experienced the same thing on my chargers.

I returned my first nexus 5 to google because it did not charge unless it was with the original charger. I tried it with the USB charging port on my radio and also a sony USB cable + plug combo and the charge was terribly slow. I have a nexus 4 and 7 and they had no issues charging this way so thought it was a fault with the handset.
When I received my replacement I was really hoping this issue was resolved but sadly not. The second handset had the same issue. I then researched online and came across this forum post. I reset the handset, charged it to 100% with the cable and plug provided with the phone. Just to be on the safe side I discharged the handset fully and charged it to 100% again. The same fault reoccured. I then compared my nexus 5 to my 4 and 7. When charging the 4 and 7 through my radio, it showed charging via AC on the battery properties on the handset. The 5 in the same situation showed charging via USB. I then tried to charge my 5 using an emergency charger I had lying about and to my surprise, that charged fine showing as AC charging. I then took the USB cable from the emergency charger and plugged it into my radio's charged port. It showed AC again and charged as normal. I then used the original USB cable I always plug into the radio into the outlet of emergency charger too and that showed AC on the phone too.
I don't really have a conclusion to why this it charges fine with one power source and cable and not another as there seems to be no logic to this. I think the nexus 5 is really picky how it likes to be charged. I can't see why this phone is soo finiky charging when all my other devices charge fine regardless where and how. I am now worried that if I'm at work or out and about and need an emergency top up my handset won't charge. I really hope this is a software fix

Fast charging issues

Its been over a month that ive had my 64g note 5. Just yesterday ive noticed that my so called fast charger wasnt charging my phone as it did in the earlier weeks of usage. No i havent exposed my phone ro any liquids and my charger port is covered by my phone case flaps. And no i havent altered my original oem charger cradle/ usb cord. Any one else experiencing the same problem?

Try plugging the charger directly into the wall outlet (If it wasn't already). If you have any alternate USB cables, try some of those. Otherwise it's the adapter or the phone.
Typically unless you notice the actual port having problems the USB cable is probably worn out. They are usually cheap and frequent bending on any portion of the cable will cause it to eventually break the wire inside.
This is one of the benefits of wireless charging. You won't have to worry about wear on the port or dealing with broken/worn USB cables.
Edit: What I did notice about a week ago was my Fast wired charger was cutting in/out or the phone would say it was only charging at standard speed. I had the adapter attached to an extension cord and decided to just run it directly to my power strip, which solved my problem.

An extension cord won't matter. The charger dongle either gets juice or doesn't...

I bought the Choetech fast wireless charger, working great. Heard there's been issues regarding Samsung brand. But the wireless charging works very well. I have the Choetech fast charger & a Spigen wireless dock, both flawless not cutouts!

For me the issue seems to be the lock screen. When on the lock screen and I plug the charger in I usually do not get fast charge. But if I first log on then it usually will fast charge.

Juice directly from an outlet will always be more than juice coming from an extension cord (especially if its a cheap one) connected to a powerstrip connected to an outlet. If you have ever cut open an extension cord, you'd see why. Below all that plastic are a few silky copper threads which can in no way possible convey the amount of electricity that the thick wires behind your outlet can.

Yes but the dongle is vastly reducing what goes to the phone anyway

Issues with the stock chargers for a lot of people on the note 5. Mine wouldn't fast charge unless plugged and unplugged a bunch. Not good for the port. Got a verizon red tip rapid charger like a few other coworkers got and it fast charges everytime I plug it in. No matter extension or not.. Or 20% or 90%. [emoji4]

Car Charging issue

Hi,
I've been using a usb cable in my car and once i switched to Mi4C i didn't want to replace the cable so i bought an adapter.
Now for some reason the car cable doesn't charge the phone almost entirely while a similar cable connected to PC and the same adapter do charge the phone.
I've used Ampere app to get info and i've noticed similar data but i can't point out the issue, i'm attaching the sunscreens below, maybe someone will have an idea, my guess is either the cable or charger.

I've tried the original cable that came with the phone and the car charger and it seemed better so it's probably the cable.
I've ordered a different cable and hope for the best.

Charging issues

HI,
I'm using the charger that came with the phone into a wall socket(uch20).
If I use a USB-C cable it charges at around 1100ma for 5 minutes and drops to under 600ma and phone then discharges faster than charging. I have left it overnight and woke up to 7% battery this morning.
If I use a Micro USB cable with a USB-C to Micro USB Charger I get a around 1100ma all the time and the phone charges fine.
I'm using the Sony UCB20 Cable and some Aukey USB-C ones I bought on Amazon.
The Micro USB adapter is a Aukey one and the cable is a Sony UCB16 cable.
I'm also using the Ampere app to check the MA.
Anyone know what the problem is.
Thanks
