Hi,
is it bad for the battery that I often sync and install stuff via my PC USB cable and so the Kaiser is charging like this? So I use power-charger less?
Thanks!
I have always used the USB to charge my phone and I've had a problem free tilt since they came out.
ok, so I will now worry for the battery life than...

Hi guys!
I hav a problem:
When i use the home-batterycharger sometimes the battery charge and sometimes it doesn't... sometimes it charge for the 5/10 minutes and then is like disconnected...
When i use the car-charger it never charge.
If i Use the duracell package for charging with usb, it never charge.
If I use the pc via usb, it charge, always...
where is the problem?
I tryed to change also a lot of ROM but the problem is still here... Could you help me?
It might sound like you have busted youre phones USB, try test it quick by jugling a whit the car and home charger. Could be that it gets a bether grip whit the pc usb cable. I dont think the problem are ROM related but either the USB on phone or the battery itself.

search a little bit in the kaiser threads, there are minimum 3 threads about this problem. in most cases the USB connector on your phone needs a little "help" with the stick ...
Hello everyone,
I have weird problem with my kaiser - it doesn't charge. I tried everything what comes to my mind, but maybe someone will have some new ideas.
When plugged in, yellow LED turns on and it says "charging" in the OS, but battery keeps loosing charge. It doesnt matter if I'm trying to charge it via stock charger or over USB. USB port on device is communicating normally - i can access phone memory or SD card from computer over USB, and I checked that "dont charge over USB" is NOT ticked.
I found Kaiser dead in the morning while on wall charger, with yellow LED on. Tried to charge over USB, same thing happens.
I then opened the device (thanks for nice guide for taking kaiser apart) and confirmed that situation is as following:
- voltage on inner contacts of usb (on the PCB side) is 4.5V
- voltage on the pcb side of the battery contacts is 0.8V when plugged in, and when yellow LED is turned on (I believe that in this situation there should be full 4.5V from USB port which i measured and confirmed that is really there on the USB)
- I tried to charge battery individually, (out of the device) and it takes charge normally and keeps it (for a 2 years old device and battery thats great)
- tried to reflash stock rom - all went well (another confirmation that usb is working), but no change, battery still wont take charge
Phone specification:
Kaiser 130 (T-mobile MDA Vario III)
Hard SPL 3.56
ROM and radio: Stock t-mobile 6.1
Battery: stock DynaPack
So it seems that im in the market for new PCB or Kaiser with broken screen or flat cable - offers on pm, please
Oh, it seems that i was able to solve what red LED means - it simply means that there is no (or either failed or inadequate) battery while USB is plugged in and should be charging - but that doesnt mean that it is main battery - there is another small backup battery on PCB. That is my observation, was unable to check it in literature or service manual if im right with that opinion, but i do hope that i helped someone with RLOD
Have a nice day,
darko
bump! anyone?
curious, havwe you tried another battery? You can get them on ebay for $5-$10. I killed my USB plug, I was able to connect with USB, but it would not charge. So I purcahsed a 3-in-1 adapter (which supports the usb plug on top ane bottom), when that finally died I purchased a cradle with extra battery charger. I just keep the spare battery it in and swap them when one dies. No charger needed.
I can help maybe. It has to do with the software. The USB connector can't be the porblem otherwise it would not see the power and let the Red LED turn on. In older devices and some of the new is a lock. It prevents you from charging the phone with a charger not made by HTC. There is a cab called Batfix.cab (Or anything like that). Try to install it. Maybe it helps. The 0.8 Volt only can be normal cause the voltage has to do with the battery. If you take it out the System won't try to charge it cause it doesn't get any power from the battery. That is done to prevent it from charging a fully dead battery cause that could harm your device and yourself cause the battery may explode.

hi, I want to buy a non USB charger so I can plug my battery in and charge it without the phone needing to be present. What charger did you buy, can you post a link or a pic etc. thanks!
Greeting to XDA-community.
I have a problem. I don't have any opportunity to use regular charger for my G1. So I used charging via usb, but when I have turned on Wifi (ad-hoc to connect with laptop) and started to use G1 heavily it just dropped dead (battery is 0%). As I understand charging via usb is less then amount of power G1 uses during heavy use. But now I can't charge the phone at all. I have killed my second battery (stock too) the same way. The only thing that I see when connect to usb is that LED is red, sometimes light is pulsating, but can't turn the phone on. I also use to different source of charging. The problem I can do this only from USB port . Did somebody have such problem? I need someway to charge it...
Thanks for any help
You could try a powered USB hub, but if youa re going to buy something, why not just buy a charger?

I am using smth like this, a charger for mp3 player with 5.2v. Doesn't help
I am in Europe for couple of weeks, charger isn't working here due to different plugs, so I didn't bring it with me (but should , you can buy adapter US-EU plug without problem), thought charging via USB is working well, but it don't.
Hi everyone,
I've got a problem. When i charge my phone by USB on my laptop. The battery keeps to be drained. The notification icon says it is charging but it's like if it wasn't. When i try to charge my phone by AC adapter, It quickly charge without problems.
When i charge the battery, Wifi and Bluetooth are not activated.
Does anyone has noticed that ?
Thanks by advance

Being my 1st smartphone (came from a BB) I have noticed it is slow to charge on USB but dont have anything to compare to. Will go up by about 10% in 40Mins for me.
I know that USB has less power running through it so wont charge up anywhere near a mains charge so bare that in mind.
Have you tried other USB ports or another computer? Might be just not enough juice coming through to charge it properly.

Hi there,
My phone is not charging very well, I knew I had battery issues so I recently purchased a new battery.
I have been using CM 10.2 nightlies.
The troubleshooting done so far:
Wipe data/factory reset
Install stable CM 10.1.3
Cleaned usb port
Changed from MTP to usb mass storage
New battery
Nexus 4 cable and charger
Note 2 cable and charger
SGS4 charge cable on PC usb
My phone is pluged and it discharges instead of charging, NO SERVICES OR PROGRAMS RUNNING
Screen off... it discharges to 1% faster
Should I run stock rom on this big ass boy?
Should I get a new USB port (I thinks this is it)?
Should I try a different kernel?
Or should I run a different radio?
Thanks in advance

How does it work while the Note is turned off ?
Does your Note recongnize if it is charging from USB or AC wall charger (must be on of course) ?
Your new battery is Samsung or OEM battery?

Had the same problem and the problem was due to damaged USB port. Change the USB port. Look up some tutorials and buy it from ebay or else where and do it yourselves. Its easy as pie. :good:

Galaxy Note 2 discharging if used while plugged in
My note 2 is charging very slowly while on (10% per hour), charges about the same pace when plugged in. Only just started happening recently, I suspect from the newest android update. on AC it used to charge while on in 4-6 hrs, depending on whether or not i was using it while plugged in. Did the cleaning battery / reset / clear cache etc and calibrated the device with Battery+ app. Phone still discharges at normal pace when not plugged in but 10 hours is a really effin long time for it to recharge, no?
I used to be able to use it heavily while plugged in and it would just stay level, and still charge on light usage. For it to lose charge while plugged in seems wrong.
