Ok guys i hope some one can help with this ...It all started yesterday when i tried to charge my phone. it kept saying charging at 0% and it stood like that for hours. so i tried another charger & battery and the same thing. I even called t-mobile and they told me i could be a hardware problem, so i was woundering if theres any chance it could still get fixed ??? i am willing to pay if anyone can fix my phone i am located in los angeles pm me if your up to it .
thanks in advance.. if phone is not fixable i will be selling it for parts!!
Tmobile should give you a replacent! Free of charge.
and umm have you tried taking out the battery leaving out for a minute or 2 and then putting it back and trying to charge it?
That is correct.
So long as you are still under warranty, T-Mobile will issue you a replacement phone.
However, if you have any root/modded firmware, you may want to revert back to Stock.
ya i called t-mobile and they said that since i bought the phone off a friend that it void the waranty ...so im stuck with a bad g1 till i get another one and or sell this one for parts...how much would you guys say its worth for parts it works but it has to be plug in at all times>
Not sure if you have access to this, but you may want to try switching out the batteries with a friend. If that doesn't work, go to any T-Mo store and tell them you need to test the battery/phone.
If it works on a new battery, your solution is there. Buy a new one for about $20-$50
It's worth a shot, considering you'd be selling someone a good phone for cheap, lol.
Same Problem
Hello, I also have the same problem with it charging. The usb port seems to work, I bought a new battery and it still doing the same thing. So I built a charger that I can just stick the battery in and I just swap them out. The phone shows the orange light and also says it is charging but it does not charge the battery.

Buy a stand-alone battery charger. Search google for "g1 battery charger" and buy a product similar to this: http://www.netimes.com/shop/desktop-cradle-with-2nd-battery-charger-for-google-g1-p-1506.html
There is probably something wrong with the charging circuit inside the phone and this *should* be a decent work-around for it.
I had this problem with my old HTC Wizard... I just hacked the end off a usb cable and taped the 5v line to the battery terminals to charge it.
I am NOT recommending this as a solution.. but I still have both hands and a functional face.
Ive been having the exact same issue with my G1 phone since updating to the latest Cyanogen rom. Im not saying that the ROM caused the issue, but that the issue developed on the same day I did the update.
I contacted T-Mo and they have shipped me a brand new phone. I had to un-root and go back to the stock ROM, but that was not big deal.
It was definitely an issue with the charging circuit. I have two G1's and was able to charge the battery in the spare phone.
Can anyone help me with my issue. i had a old battery on my g1 that got expanded and wouldnt hold a charge for that long it would just die. Now i bought 2 new batteries and charged them till they were full. Now when the phone dies and i plug in the charger to charge the new batteries they do not charge. I have to put my old expanded battery charge it till its green take the old battery out then put the new one in and then it the led will come on saying its charging. When I try and charge the new batteries when the phone is off it says its charging but the percentage doesnt go up. Anyone have a reason why these batteries wont charge while on, and the only way they will charge when off is if i put the old expanded battery in first charge then charge the new ones. Im running a rooted g1 on 1.6, I just dont understand why I cant charge the new batteries when the phone is on, or when its off unless i use that method. ANy help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
Oh yea I have had the phone since launch and im sure the warranty is expired.
You have to change the phone motherboard. Its a hardware problem.
Only solution : Send it for a replacement!
Also my phone is dying fast with the new battery the display and idle is eating it up. I know I can reset my battery stats but when i reset them at 100% i cant reboot and charge to 100% because the phone wont charge while on......Do you guys think if i got a external wall charger i could charge the batteries and they would work. My phone might be reading my old battery stats thats why it doesnt last that long even on new battery
I had the exact same problem, my phone would charge when i plugged it in to the pc but not in the OEM wall charger, so i bought a usb wall charger adapter and used my pc data cable plug and it worked perfectly. Ebay sells them for 4-6 bucks with an additional pc plug, just search htc g1 wall usb adapter charger.
I understand that much time has left, but I have the same problem, the phone is not charging(but 'speaks' that charging is going on). I don't know about the others, but I have noticed that phone can charge in fastboot mode. It charging very slow and I think it because the screen is always on and white(Spl: 1.33.0013d).
It charges only after a strict sequence of actions:
1. When the phone is off turn it to fastboot(power+back)
2. Wait for several secconds.
3. Plug in charger wire.
There is no result in other sequences. I have measured the battery by voltmeter and voltage is truly rising. But LED is off while charging and also phone is warming.
Like others, I tried to change batteries and chargers with no results.
It looks like many users have the same problem, and maybe it can be solved by software methods.
At least maybe there is some way to charge it like in fastboot, but with screen off? It would be more faster.
I've tried to use some programs like battery calibrator, but they are not purposed for such things.
try leaving the battery out for a while, than put it in device and d not power on, plug in the charger and let it charge for a couple hours, than boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, reboot and see if anything changes...

I've tried doing so, but it doesn't charge at all while the power if off(but LED is RED). Although I have wiped battery stats now and many times before after 100% charging in fastboot mode with no result.
The question is in difference between charging in fastboot mode and other modes.Maybe someone knows this difference and will help with this problem.
It doesn't charge in recovery mode, while the power is off, when the power is on (system says that it is charging but the percents are going down), and in all of this states LED is working well(Green, Orange, Red). In fastboot mode the LED is off but the charging is going on. Maybe there is a way to emulate fastboot charging mode in system drivers.
By the way, I have changed several ROM's after problem has appeared. Now it is COS-DS(07192011).
I hope that someone will help me and other users who have this problem.
hmmm, wow that is strange... could possibly be a hardware issue... doesn't sound like anything a custom rom would cause, hope you can find an answer to your issue
Im wondering if anyone can help me figure out whats wrong with my G1. It tends to shut down when using the web,market,apps,and during calls. all i can really do is text now.
i wasnt sure if its the battery. it chargers fine in my USB cable in my computer but it wont charge much due to my messed up AC charger.
so if theres any solution that doesnt involve buying a new battery please do tell me...its ruining my life
Hi,
I have this strange problem happening since yesterday on my brand new Salsa. When I put it on charging and leave it on a wooden table, the touch screen responds weird to my touch. The ring lock will not open all the way or shortcuts will work weird. The soft keys at the bottom too go absurd not responding or giving different options.
If I pick the handset (probably providing grounding), everything works normal thereafter. I'm using only the original charger provided with handset.
Additionally even the sound into my car's auxillary port is behaving as weird filtering or dimming the vocal frequencies but allowing the music to get through.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Only incident to have caused this I guess is when the sales guy I went to plugged the phone onto a blackberry charger yesterday for a few seconds.
Could it have caused some damage to some internal part - diode or something that is leaking AC voltage onto the capacitive screen ? Can I have it repaired at HTC ?
Since it's not even a week old, I'm too distressed about the weirdness. PLEASE HELP!
does seem like it could of done some damage as blackberry's do take a lot more juice than the salsa, personally i would take it back and tell them about the problems you have had only since the dude abused the phone lol
I will surely be taking it back but want to confirm if its the problem with the phone or charger, because I do not see this problem when I charge from my laptops USB.
And I want to know what it is before I take it to them. Its much safer to find the problem and tell them rather than allowing them to figure it out themselves and in turn damage something else.
Thanks
your laptop will deal 5v 1a max before the computer will cut off the usb supply due to risk of overload, new blackberry chargers deal a lot more than that due to the juice the device needs to charge, almost like different laptop chargers the difference in the supply would kill your laptop, i don't have any problems with my device regardless of surface it is resting on.
I have the same problem
I have the same problem, but it was observed from the time of purchase. So do not worry and take the phone in hand))
Resolved
With some searching I resolved this problem or I can say I at least know why this is happening.
It is the charger that is faulty and not the handset. I changed it with another HTC charger I had and the problem disappeared. I figured the most logical explanation is what I read in one of the post elsewhere in this forum.
The charger could be faulty to be leaking some AC voltage along with the charging DC juice. This leaked voltage interferes with the sensitive capacitive touch screen. If we hold the handset in hand, we are providing a natural grounding and hence the problem disappears.
I personally would not like this to continue and so I'm going to take it back to my vendor for replacing the charger or if the need be, buy a new one.

Try using another charger and see the difference. Hope you can get your charger repaired or replaced!
Take care.
this is due to a grounding problem or/and leaked ac current....
This problem occurs when your charger supplies more power than required by the phone to charge.The only solution for your prolem is changing your charger.

I had once another problem, that my Salsa overheated (red-green blinking) when I charged it and my Wifi was on. Maybe a background-process could be responsible.
Hello guys, for some reason when plugged in this will not power on(my dell streak). The lights turn on dimly but that's about it.
Any idea why this might be happening? Or is it best to send it to the scrap heap?
Sounds like a hardware issue. I'd send it to Dell asap.
and if it's no longer under warranty?
I don't mind opening it and attempting to repair it. I just need an idea of what needs to be fixed or replaced.
would anyone know?
Wall charger or plugged into a USB port on a computer?
Might be a bad pin on the connector, might be if not if enough volt/amp if you are not using wall charger, might be dead battery.

doesn't charge with either. I just ordered a new plug though to be sure. I'll give it a shot when I get it. know where I could buy another battery if it is it? its not on eBay or Amazon
the 3 side LED lights turn on, charger light is red, nothing works. not even hard reset or resetting with power button and volume +-
hold in the hard reset button for 2min to confirm that it wont do anything
It just because u over exhausted baterry. I had it be4. Let it charge for 2 hr u will be okay. Or, charge 10 min then hard reset and confirm if u can still fastboot or recovery, reinstall sodtware

So my galaxy gear one did not turn on this morning! No idea why! Any idea what to do? Odin and kies won't find it. Is it possible to get it repaired and how much would something like that cost me!

You need to charge it internally, This issue is mostly a battery problem, i had the same issue the Device it dead, or you can tell a store that the battery is dead, and if they can jump start it once again.
Just Charge it with Positive 1v and negative 1v cables to the pin sockets inside it, if you do not want to go do this, see if there is a Repair shop nearby.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards

Can I buy or make me a cable like that?
Would it be ok if I cut a charging cable and switch the wires?
Plug it into a computer, somehow that works when my gear fully drains and wont charge with the normal charger
Mine went dead last week also, I've been researching threads and most say charging via USB from laptop or desktop (USB 2.0 seems to be preferred) will bring it back to life. I've also read about hair dryers being helpful. None of that worked for me.
I read earlier that separating the motherboard from the battery could be helpful. I just did that (literally 20 minutes ago) and while the screen isn't on, nor do I see any indication of charging, my computer let me know that a USB device was connected this time.
I'm leaving it sit overnight (I still haven't screwed the back back on yet) to see what happens.
Well I left it overnight and still no life. I've gone even further and completely removed the battery now and will leave it out of the watch for a while and reassemble it later tonight and then leave it overnight again fully assembled in the charger connected to my PC via USB.
Another day of charging via USB after completely removing the battery and still no sign of life. I think I'm giving up. The computer still recognizes something is attached but that's as far as I get.

All you need is two telephone wires the same type you would typically use in the USB Cable and Insert on the two copper sockets inside
Let me know if you need anymore assistance.
Mine completely overnight and then I didn't feel like charging for a few days. After a few days I went to go charge it and I could not get it to charge. I tried roughly 5-6 different chargers/cables and all sorts of different usb ports on laptops, car chargers, and nothing work. In middle of moving I took my chromecast off of my tv and remembered it was a microusb charger. Plugged it into my watch cradle and it came back on.
Connect your gear watch to USB port on your Notebook , after 5 min open charging cradle , while pressing gear watch to charging cradle try to turn on watch from power button with plastic card. After several attempts gear watch will turn on , close charging cradle and continue charging.
It seems to me there is a problem with the battery. Maybe you battery is dead. You need to remove the battery from your watch and keep it in the sun light for 15 min then try to charge it. If it doesn't work properly then contact with service center.
