It's terribly slow on USB, but it does work with mine... But it seems the kaiser needs quite some milliamps of current to get charged....: more than the average USb port delivers (hence, that's why only the supplied charger charges fast enough) i guess...

thats weird, mine doesnt even go into charging mode. do you think that the USB charging is spoilt and I should return to get it for an exchange?

Did you check the (new?) option:
Settings/Battery/advanced/" ..."when device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC.
When that one is ticked, no charging.

Can you check:
Settings -> System -> Power -> Advanced :
[ ] When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to PC

ahhh ok this is a new option that i have not seen on other wm6 devices. thanks! yea now it charges. however with the option ticked, it didnt seem to charge even with the device off.
guess i should go exploring all the settings

I have the idea that this is done not to overload USB ports, or to empty a portable's or UMPC battery.
So when I will have this new Shift.............. then I will swtich loading off.

Tytn II not charging from PC USB

hello
I know it's a very weird problem, but maybe someone have any ideas.
Here are the facts:
1) I can charge my Tytn II from the A/C adapter (amber LED on)
2) I could charge my Tytn II from PC USB (amber LED on) and sync with activesync, but it stopped working... it doesn't charge anymore (amber LED off) and also doesn't sync
2a) I tried to swap USB cables
2b) I tried to swap USB ports
2c) I tried to plug to another computer
2d) none of those worked
thanks

Long Shot Here. But see if you can find this setting. Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC. Toggle the Option (If it's Off turn it on, if it's on turn it off). Soft Reset.
If that doesn't work May try a Hard Reset But this will delete all you Main Memory Data. But it should leave your SD Card data alone.

that's weird, because the "USB to PC" setting isn't even opening
it just reacted as if it runned in background (it shows it's clicking it, but doesn't open anything)
i'm trying to avoid the hard reset as much as I can, because I just did it 2 weeks ago and now it's the way I like

if you're using wmdc i know under the connection settings theres a place where u can check to charge the phone while using usb or in some other wording..maybe u can take a look there

I found a similar option on Battery setting, but it's correctly checked

Here are the facts:
1) I can charge my Tytn II from the A/C adapter (amber LED on)
2) I could charge my Tytn II from PC USB (amber LED on) and sync with activesync, but it stopped working... it doesn't charge anymore (amber LED off) and also doesn't sync

2b) I tried to swap USB ports

After going through the trial of my dead phone, I believe that this is the same culprit that plagued me. I was able to get a new battery, but when I connected it to my computer via USB it would not charge. The funny thing is though, I can charge from my car adapter only! I do have to wiggle the contact to get it just right. My phone connector must not be aligned right. But I'm still having the same problem. Tried different cables and ports. I can not charge from a wall outlet either, just the car.
Any ideas?!

The USB connector got a bit deformed and doesn't make good contact anymore?

That was my guess. Mine had this happen recently so I put a slight bend in the USB cable end so that it would pinch more tightly and now it charges.

X1 charging issue

This problem just started last night and I can't figure out what's the cause of it. After a few hours into charging, the phone just turns itself on and charging stops!
I'm running stock rom with a few performance tweaks. I'm not sure whether this's software or hardware related and if a hard reset would fix anything.
Cheers.

Are you charging using a PC or directly from adapter?
if from PC, click on the battery icon when the device is on and make sure that "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC." is unchecked

I use the adapter to charge, I did try to untick the option afterwards and now just osberving if it does it again.
May be this's another bug when it's supposedly only applicable when charged from USB.

Charging issue and low battery life
Hi, I have had my X1 for 4 days now and overall I am very happy with the features, and I have obtained a lot of very useful tips from the XDA forum, thanks. However I am experiencing problems charging the phone and also not happy with the battery life. Last night I left the phone plugged into the USB of the pc that I installed activesync on (pc was, of course, also on) I switched the phone off and ensured that the charging light indicators were flashing. This morning the charging indicators were off but the phone was only partially charged. I then plugged the usb cable into the mains charger and the phone charged to full in 1.5 hours. Does this mean that charging via the pc is inefficient? During the day I made no calls and sent 2 texts, I did have messenger and skype running although I put the phone into sleep mode. Its now about 8pm and the battery has died. I have plugged the usb into my laptop (which does not have the activesync software on it) the charging lights are flashing but I dont think that the phone is charging as the battery is draining. I read on this forum that you must have activesync installed on the pc that you want to charge the phone on, but why is this. Whats the point of that, the whole point of being able to charge via usb is that you can top up anytime you are near a pc, and looking at the battery life I assume I will need to top up a lot. Can I have your thoughts please.

i have been in the same position.
it's probably because your laptop / pc is in hibernate mode / power saving mode..hence it doesnt charge.
try disabling it and see how it goes

Thanks for the prompt reply Berlinberlin
Hi I can confirm that my PC is set to turn off monitor after 20mins and to never turn off Hard Disks and never go into standby and never hibernate. So I don't think that this is the problem but thanks for your thoughts
How long does/should it take to fully charge the phone via usb? How long does it take yours to charge? Since I wrote the post above I have had my phone plugged into my laptop but with the phone swithed off, the charging indicators lights are pulsating. I have now turned the phone on and the battery is 40% charged from being nearly totally depleted (about one hour of charging) . I do not have Activesync on this pc, so the phone will charge on any PC, I assume.

hello.
once i had one x1 charged via usb over night (with a pc with active sync)
the battery depleted the next morning and it doesnt turn on again
so maybe it's better to quit active sync before charging?

The charging problem I've observed has a different effect:
when on charge using the adaptor, the battery charges OK to full and then charging ceases (as it should do)
BUT
if the X1i is connected to WiFi on my LAN, after a time (maybe 30 mins), it commences to recharge and never stops, so the battery can become dangerously overheated.
Disconnecting from WiFi and soft-reset seems to bring the system back to normal.
At this stage I don't know the root cause, but I have a new battery on order. When this turns up, I'll try the same routine and post results. Obviously, I suspect (hope, too) that the "smarts" in the battery are faulty.

x1 charging problem
I' have the same problem with my x1 charging.
The phone after i started charging, turn on and stop the charging.
In the mornig the battery is low.
Is there any solution that fix the problem?

In your case I tend to think the problem is with Wi-Fi using more battery than what it's gaining through charging. I had similar problem with a generic mini-USB charger. Most charging problems are associated with either battery or charger itself.

Even i had a same issue,
But i luckily remembered the setting which i had changed,
Try this,
Setting`s->System-> Power-> Advanced Tab
{code}
Make sure u have selected this option and set it to minimum value,
"Turn off device if not used for"
{code}
Hope this solves issue

USB Not Charging after 2.3 update

Hello there,
Its a but weird but hey this is something very normal for the 2x I think. When I plug in the phone to the pc, this will identify the phone and all that, but it will not charge. I have tried different USB slot and other PCs but nothing happens. On Power the phone will charge as normal. I have also down a calibration of the battery..
Anyone?

I just had the same thing happen to me. I'm glad I read about your wall charger suggestion . Then I read about another person who pulled their battery out and long pressed the power button to clear any risidual charge, I did that and when I turned back on it had gone from 1% to 5%. This was after useing 'battery calibrator' which deletes that file. I also have battery monitor widget and wonder if it conflicts, I think I entered a random number when it asked me the wall chargers ampage. Who knows it charges from computer again. My mother had a problem similar on her nokia, she let the charge get to low and they had to 'shock' the battery into life.
- actually if you have the mode where the screen stays on then the phone might just consume all the power.
-nope, seems wall charger is super fast and computer is slow, maybe usb just doesnt have as many amps

check your usb cable, cheap china cable have problem with charging

I got another cable, GOLD!, and did more testing, its a slow charge on computer and charge goes down when playing counter-strike. Charge goes up on wall socket when playing CS. The charger says it puts out 1A and im sure that more than what my laptop USB puts out, maybe I'll try it with my desktop.. debug mode did nothing to change the effects.

Won't charge but USB connects to computer

Replaced battery, which had some charge in it, I connected it to the computer and the charger and got the lightning bolt, however the battery showed not charging, the USB connection to the computer was fine and was able to transfer files, unfortunately couldn't flash a new rom as the battery power was too low, also tried probably too late to go into the stock recovery and it just turns the phone off, before the battery was completely drained the battery charging icon looked normal with it filling up, now it comes on, but no filling up
I also put it on the wireless charger overnight and it did nothing
stock 6.0.1 no water damage, motherboard looks fine
is the phone a lost cause? anyone have any ideas?
thanks for your help peeps
Steve

Did you try a different cable?

yes, I tried 5 different cables that all work with my other phones, I did search for solutions before posting, I just didn't find anyone with a charging issue that was able to connect to the computer
thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it

If it's the battery, then replacement batteries are super cheap and it looks like a simple operation.
