For a few days my phone hasn't been charging, and at first I thought it was a problem with the battery, but having bought a new one I've realised that when I tilted the charger to the left it would charge, but when it's just left it wouldn't, so I guess a bit of a miss-alignment.
Anyone got any ideas how I can fix this problem?
Cheers, nathaniel
try another cable and make sure it's the one that came with the phone. you should have a usb one and a ac adapter. if both are like that then you need to warranty it out.
Yeah, Ive tried it with the USB cable and the charger, I got the same result. Is there no quick fix, I'm going abroad in 9 days and quite need my phone...
There are a few discussions on bad USB connectors in these forums -- searching might provide some things to try.
From what I can remember, it's possible the pins in the connector (on the phone side) might be bent out of place -- you might want to inspect them with a magnifying glass and try to carefully bend them back if any seem out of place.
It's also possible that the connector itself is broken -- in which case you're looking at a service call.
this seems like the problem i faced. i was also facing the same problem and i read the forums here and found it as a usb port issue. so i slightly bent the usb port so that the contacts are aligned and then it started charging
Hey I would also recommend trying a new a new charger again because I have had my share of faulty chargers. Last time I had a problem charging was with a brand new cable that did not work right at the box from At&T and thought it was my battery until i tried another charger that worked. I would suggest trying the charger that is not working on another phone and see if its actually the charger or if it is your phone that is not working.

I think it is to do with the pins in the connector.
I had a search but I'm not very good on forums and I can't find anything of any use. Does anyone have a link?
Just look at the last few pages of topics, you should find something... there are threads about broken USB at least once a week.
One common conclusion is to avoid using USB cables other than the supplied one as their
plugs are a little thicker and tend to deform the phone's plug over time (I admit I always use others though, and as a result do sometimes need to wiggle the cable a tad and not move anything anymore once the connection is established... ).
I once dismounted my Hermes and tightened the plug back a bit, it helped, I've never done it with my Kaiser yet though. If you're not used to dismantling and fixing devices I'd recommend returning it for repair indeed.
I had a the opposite happen, it would charge but no data connection with my pc. If you look at your extUSB port on your phone, see if the black plastic tab is cracked (which was my case) or if the pins are shifted. whatever the issue, its obviously hardware related, take it to an At&t service center tell them whats wrong and if your in warranty they'll change it on the spot.

He got the same result using his USB cable so that would rule out the charger.

Im in England, took it to the T-Mobile shop, the service was rubish and without even looking at it they send I should send it off which would take 2 weeks. There is a crack in the black plastic tab
Hi, I've broken the usb port on my Kaiser, making it impossible to sync or charge. Can this be repaired?
How broken is it?
Is it just loose or do you think something else is wrong (e.g. bent pins, etc.)?
I would take it appart and take a look if I were you.
Maybe its the USB Cable....did you try another USB Cable?
I tried another 2 cables, as well as the AC adapter charger - it's definitely the Kaiser. It's to do with the pins. To elaborate (I was hoping not to, but....) I was in bed, lights out, and I wanted to reset the Kaiser, so I was trying to insert the stylus into the little hole by touch (no funny business, honest) and I'm sure I pressed it into the usb port a few times by mistake. So at the very least I've bent or broken the pins.
Well, I've rung a repair facility taht does HTC products, and the person on the line said that if it was just the connector, I'll be up for AUD $110 (I live in Australia). But if it's the main board, then I will be up for AUD $590!!! If it's the latter, I may as well by a new one! I'll have to send it in to find out.
Mine had broken pins...hTC told me that the usb connecter is part of the motherboard and that the board would have to be replaced for $389 (US). I ordered a new one from AT&T (cheaper + rebate!).
Now have a back up that I can use for parts, or charge the battery in the new one and put the battery in the broken one! I can play with ROMs and radios on the old one
AND, I now make darn sure the stylus goes into the reset port rather that the mini USB port.

im having tha t same problem
any one know where to get this fixed if your not using the oirignal rom for cheap price?
bluetooth synch and external battery charger
I have the same issue here, my htc felt down and since then it's very tricky to synch via usb and sometimes tricky to charge up the battery.
So I'am now using the bluetooth connection to synchronize with my PC . I also bought before that an external battery charger for the tytnII on ebay from ecell for around 4 euros . I also bought a second set of battery for around 20 euros.
the tricky part is to succeed in seting up the bluetooth connection the first time , but I don't know I eventually manage to do it after several tries .
But of course now I won't risk any rom update or whatsoever.

My USB connector is completely gone, all the pins are broke.. including those needed to charge - so i can't use my vogue anymore
Does anyone have or know where i can buy a USB connector to replace the one in my phone?
Ebay hasn't been helpful, and i called Bell but they said i would have to send it to them which would take 2-6 weeks and buy a loaner phone
Thanks
Just get a generic mini usb connector, that cord isn't unique to the phone so alot of shops should stock it just take it in and show them the old cord.
Or on ebay something like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/3-ft-USB-A-to-B...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item335a490fd0
You should also get a proper wall charger for your vogue instead of usb which takes like 10x longer to charge.

I think he means the connector in the phone, not the cable.

Yeah i am talking connector inside the phone... and yes it is soldered on, but i'm looking for a replacement..
Bell wants $150 to fix it

Maybe this is an option instead of repairing the phone. Use this charger to load the battery. Sync with bluetooth.

I don't have bluetooth on my computer, and i'd like the headphone to work
I called ppctech they have a repair service, but thats $79, way too expensive.. i asked for just the usb connector, no response yet
I got a vogue off of ebay for 75 shipped.
I'm having a bit of an issue with my usb port where I need to push the cable upwards (if you are facing the phones screen) in order for the phone to begin charging. It also is taking a little longer than normal. I have tried a different cable as well with the same result.
Is there anyway to repair the usb port on the HD7? I just took the case apart on the back, but the port is still shielded. Is there any instructions out there on how to replace this port?
Iron soldering or a new board, your choice.
try with the soldering, if that fails, a new board must be bought, it cost around $25-$35 online.
Need advice from PPC-6700 folks on VZW XV6700. its currently wont take charge via the usb on bottom. i purchased new battery and most i get is phone turns on for few seconds and shuts off after it hit home page. and the light does not turn red when plugged in. it was working fine up until last week.
Maybe a bad usb port pcb. Could be a failed mobo.
Meh, bold type not needed...
Thanks for quick response. Im relatively new to diy with phones. is replacing the usb on this device something id be able to do myself? without possibly causing more damage.
Look at a tear down vid. It may not be the port pcb. You sure the battery is good and connected properly ie no bent connector pins?
No loose ribbon cable connectors?
historically that battery was never secure based off the design itslef. i may have bought dud battery... id need one more to test that theory. i have 8 different cords ive used and nada. its the old half octogon looking ones. they aren't prongs like the ones now.
I can open it up and send pic. Maybe you will see something I’m not..
You can see more than me. The port looks ok.
Finding out what common issues that device has may be useful.
For that device I'm not going to be much help other than the very basics.
Can you access the boot menu?
Use a known good power cable and charger; make sure they are good. Cables fail erratically and unpredictably.
Power it completely down and try letting it charge overnight.
ive been trying to sneak in but it shuts down if i try anything. plus i cant find one tear down video.. looks like i may be creating the first. ill sleep on it instead of jumping in half cocked.. ill give you update soon. thanks for your time.
tbh! i was gonna attempt to splice open old usb cord and bypass port using the wires directly to prongs? what you think

Get a new cable preferably OEM.
You start splicing and get it wrong or if the cable is bad at a different point... you're trying to troubleshoot it, not start new trouble
Sounded better in my head lol. but the first cord that stopped working wa replaced and did great till now. ive rounded up 4 others from storage. non seem to catch. im trying not to order a 2nd new battery and cord. even plugged into pc or laptop it doesnt recognize anything.

anyone there? i managed to get it to screen that shows " serial up top and v 1.00"... ive left it alone because its not turning off and im hoping its accepting a charge now .
Back in business, I ended up just splicing a old usb cord connected + and - right into prongs for n back of phone and sliding battery in to hold it n place. 3 hours I’m at 80% juice. I’ll have to upgrade etc
