Hi guys,
I have this problem with my tilt. I am watching live video stream in windows media player, I connect the USB cable to my computer and my phone. the yellow light comes on and it shows that my phone is charging. but after couple of minutes I see the green light blinking. if I go to Battery option in system it says that Recharging State: Charging. but I know that it is not charging it. I have to discounect the usb from computer and connect it back. then I see the yellow light back on agian. again same thing happens after 2 minutes or so. This only happens while I am using Video Stream. Is there any way to fix this? I have kaiser tweak but couldn't find any option for this in there.
Thanks.
amy ideas ?
Unfortunately yes. Have a look at you USB port. You'll probably find it is curved or slightly lower on the right side (closest to the reset hole). Most likely you were the victim & perpatrator in this act. Poor design placed the USB port to close to the reset hole, & innaccurate or misguided fingers tried to perform a reset in the USB port.
If it is not to jacked up you can VERY CAREFULLY try to bend it back into shape. Otherwise call your provider & play dumb. Say that it will charge in the home charger but not via USB or Automotive chargers. They will tell you it's not possible, tell them you took it to a store & even the sales guy tried his charger in his vehicle & it WON'T work.
From now on when you reset, use a finger to cover the USB port first.

Help! My tilt freezes up suddenly and then reacts extremely slow to any inputs. I will push a button on the touch screen and it takes the phone about 3-4 seconds to react to the input. Any ideas on what may be wrong and how to go about fixing them? Also, the phone has problems every month or so about going into the 4 color screen when booting up and not starting properly (not sure if this has anything to do with it...very annoying!!). Usually happens though when the battery is drained. Any help would be excellent!
if by USB you mean the computer's USB port, is ActiveSync syncing when the tilt slows down? because I believe that's normal when ActiveSync is actively working in the background...
USB meaning plugged into my laptop...
...and active sync is not even recognizing my device. Everything i do on my phone is delayed a couple of seconds. When i unplug it from the computer through the USB cable everything runs at normal speed.
Another Problem
I tried a hard reset through clear storage (copied all of my contacts to the sim card since my phone was not syncing) and when the phone booted back up it started in the infamous 4 color screen (anyone know what the actual name for this screen is?) and won't turn back on properly!

I got a similar issue with my Kaiser. Pluged it via sync cable to my laptop/PC, and it would freeze both sides (PC and Kaiser). It is definitely a mini-usb issue, a pin is bend, creating a bad contact. If I slightly move the plug in the mini usb, it will eventually come to life. If the cable moves to the right again, it will freeze again. This isn't happening with a wall/car charger however.
Could be you're facing the same problem. Did you recently damage the mini-usb (by inserting the stylus inside instatd of the soft-reset button, like most of the people lol).
Thanx!
Now that i examine it, the USB is slightly damaged on the inside..will try a different one...
Will try when phone actually boots up properly.....
Still Freezing
Got my phone to finally boot up (after numerous attempts) and I used a brand new USB cable and it still is going reaalllllllyyy sloooooooowwww. It also won't sink with my computer. Anyone, please HELP!

Actually, I didn't mean that the cable was damaged, but the mini-usb plug from the Tilt itself. Have you tried holding the cable while pluged right or left and see if tht Tilt reacts normally ?
That didn't seem to make any difference either. When I plug it into a regular charger it works normally.
New Discovery!
My headphones now do not work either. To recap, connect phone through USB to my computer, the phone moves as fast as my grandmother but though it still charges the battery. My regular phone charger works fine and the phone moves as fast as Micheal Phelps. Though my head phones perform sexually like my grandfather, they don't work at all.
I don't get it!
This may be the most unreliable phone I have ever experienced in my entire life. Now the head phones work after I put them in very slowly but when I take them back out of the mini USB port the regular speakers do not play and sound. When I plug the head phones back in I hear the sound through the ear buds. On a more disturbing note, I guess my grandfather is taking cialis. My mini USB port is just messed up!
Sorry this was previously posted in the wrong forum, mis described as a tytn!
My son is unable to turn his tytn2 on, I think the battery has run down completely, as when I turn it on, I get the "smart mobilty" flash screen with the RGB data, then it turns off as if completely flat, when I plug the charger in, the led charging lighton the top of the phone does not light. At the moment I have tried removing the battery for a while to see of that "resets" it, I have also tried soft reseting but no joy yet.
Doing a bit of research, it looks like the fuse may have blown, I have emailed a repair company who have quoted £40+vat + £6 postage each way, which works out at £58, is the fuse the likely cause, could I get fixed anywhere else, looking on the htc manuals it would appear to definitely not be a diy fix (not for me anyway!)
Try charging from the USB cable plugged into a PC

Sounds very familiar so far... no blown fuse involved here however, it was a blown HTC supplied original mains power supply unit in my case - the light on the power supply stopped working also. Although I could have had this replaced for free under warranty, I didn't want another of the same type (which is all HTC said they'd provide), so I splashed out on an £8.99 Power Supply from a company based in Aylesbury. It has a shiny black plastic case (nicely matching the TyTN II case), works at both 110 and 230 Volts and came with 4 interchangable mains socket adapters for use with different mains sockets around the world. Before you rush out to get another PSU however, check if the light on the power supply still works. Will the phone charge if you connect it to a PC via the USB cable and does the phone light come on in this case (note that the phone doesn't need to be powered on to charge the battery this way, as long as the PC it's connected to is up and running)? If not, you may have a damaged USB port on the TyTN II and although this can be repaired, if it's out of warranty, a repair centre would need to do the work if you're not handy with that sort of thing. HTC have a repair depot in Kingston, Milton Keynes that should be able to do this sort of thing. Depending how your results go with the above tests, you could give them a call, the number is in your manual.
I have tried 2 chargers + the usb, no lights on phone, if I plug in my TP2 it charges correctly, so I think the fault is with the phone, it is now getting as far as the windows screen then dying (presumably after standing for a day or so the battery has recovered enough to go a little further) so the fault would appear to be somewhere in the charging circuit.

Which includes the USB port on the bottom of the phone. Have a careful look for any bent or broken pins there. It's also worth searching here on xda-dev for broken Kaiser USB port threads because this is a topic which has been posted about many times.
If you don't want the expense of getting the phone repaired and can make do without a working USB charging port, you can always buy a Kaiser charging cradle that comes with an additional battery bay to use as a spare charger then just use the battery bay to charge a spare battery and swap them over when reqd. You could also use bluetooth for Activesyncing (buying a bluetooth dongle for the pc to be synched with if needed).
My sons 8925 did the same thing.. and even though his USB looked to be "perfect" it was the problem... It stopped taking a charge from it.. out "work around" involved ordering one of those phone docking stands which had a seperate battery charger and an extra battery or 2.. Then he just had to swap batteries when one died and charge it in the stand.. We did a 3 battery... 1 for in the phone, one for in his wallet so he had one to swap anywhere, and 1 for in the charger.. it worked well (and he is a heavy user of the Wifi and GPS and such)..I hope this helps you out!
I appear to be having wired issues related to the USB port as has been previously reported on the Galaxy S2.
When not plugged in to anything, it constantly says it is charging. It will not let me select between USB debugging mode as it says the cable is connected.
Despite it's belief that it is charging, when I actually plug it in to the mains to charge, it doesnt charge!!
If I power off the device, it shuts down correctly, however it will constantly switch between the grey battery icon, then a almost full green one, then off. It then wont allow me to turn on the device. Ive tried plugging it in to the mains (but I guess that as it wont charge this way, this is why it wont let me turn it on this way either) the only way I can boot it up is holding vol up, middle button and power together for 10 seconds or so. It then goes to CWM recover where I can reboot the device
If I plug in a jig, that allows me to connect a USB flash drive, it all seems to work OK. it no longer says it's charging, and i'm able to mount the drive.
The only way I can actually make it charge, is by plugging in to a PC.
Im very careful with my USB connectors, and I can only think that slight dampness may have entered as the phone has been with me in the bathroom during showers.
I dont want to send my phone in for repair, my first plan is to wait it out and hopefully any moisture dries out. Ive tried cleaning the inside of the USB port, but it makes no difference.
If I changed the USB port myself, a) is that a hard task, b) would it solve my issue?
I had a very similar problem with my note.
Solution was to take out the battery and leave the cover off, in a dry p;ace over night. It could definitely be related to dampness in your phone.
Hello. Recently i bought SGS and didnt know of problem it has. It ran stock eclair. Once i plugged charger it started to chage but when i unplugged it showed i charge it anyway. I reset default settings but then phone showed that usb is plugged in although it wasnt. But the most annoying thing that i cannot turn it on if charger or usb not plugged in. After it shows start screen with samsung galaxy logo i can unplug it. If i do not plug charger in, then it start showing circle then grey battery and then restarts that same. I upgraded to gingerbread stock but booting problem still hapens each time. My husband tried to look inside the phone, in the charging port there were signs of liquid but all other parts of motherboard were clean. Dont know what to do. Phone works fine when i use it, no other complains.

try cleaning the USB port as mentioned here and also the image at the bottom, for a guide on how to identify where the problem may be to resolve it.

My husband cleaned the usb port, and i updated software. It is charging normally and usb recognizes it, but with a little delay, and also chen i unplug charger, phone detects it but with delay. But not turning on still present. it looks like in other posts battery bootloop. show little circle, then grey battery wih same circle and again. it tries to start even if i turn phone off. I turn it off, after 10 secs it starts to show that circle and grey battery.

I think those are hardware related problems. The problem when turned off could be that the phone knows that its getting charged not only through the voltage of the charger but also through a shortened (to mass?) pin. Maybe this pin is always shorted because of the liquid etc. you could try to clean it again or buy and change the usb port
Probably the phone have a history o drowning/soaking from water or some kind of liquid. If you could dismantle all the parts, but be sure you can assemble them again (try to search Youtube, I think there's a lot of guides on how to do it). Clean all parts with anti-static compress air in can, I think you can buy them from electronic shops. Give special cleaning on the USB port and buttons contacts. You can also blow-dry it with hair dryer.
Hope this helps solve your problem...
When I plug in my huawei p20 pro its always set on" Reverse charging" by default, so I have to change this setting to "Charge only" to be able to charge it. Is there any solution for this problem?
Is this the same every time? With original charger?
Reverse charging issues
I'm having the same issue with my Huawei p20 pro, but its also giving me a notification "supplying power to connected device over USB" even though nothing is connected to the phone.
Supplying power to the connected device over USB
Same issues here too, even though the charger is not connected still getting this notification, battery seems to be draining fairly quickly too. Help much appreciated, thanks.
Maybe the usb port needs to be cleaned. Try with an air jet,don't use any liquid.
SOLUTION!!

Hi there I bought a Huawei P20 pro 128 GB 2 weeks ago and 3 days ago began having the same exact issue, It would only charge if I turned the phone completely off, and when it was on it would be stuck to the setting reverse charge even when I had nothing connected to the phone it would continue telling me I am currently connected via USB and reverse charging.
THE SOLUTION was CLEANING the USB port, Mine had a little bit of dirt and possibly a touch of corrosion which provided a point for the phone to discharge. the phone thought it had a USB connection and was trying to reverse charge it. So I used very small tweezers off of a jackknife and lightly scraped around the connector of the phones USB port and the phone stopped saying it was connected and reverse charging, and began charging normally when I connected it to USB! So clean the port, done use liquid but maybe a small pin or tiny tweezers and lightly scrape all the surfaces within the phones charging port until the notification that the phone is reverse charging goes away! Do be delicate though as scraping it to hard could cause something to break just do it very lightly
Thanks let me know if that helped fix yours aswell!
