[Q] Battery not charging when phone is on. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
My G1 that i just bought off eBay has a problem:
When the phone is off and plugged into a PC USB port with a HTC mini USB cable from my old Wizard while the phone is off I get the charging light to come on and turns green from 0% in around 5 hours. The problem is that when the phone is on and plugged into my PC or a USB power adapter it will show the charging light yet the battery will still drop down until 0%.
Do you think that the problem is rom related? I bought it with CM6 and have already tried flashing BiffMod with no success.
Please help!

Could be rom, could also be a faulty battery.

Sounds like a bad battery or some kind of internal problem. I don't think a rom would do that.

Wizard Help...

Hi,
I have a HTC wizard and recently when i was using it the screen went blank. (i lost my original charger and had to get a replacement Moto Razr Mini USB charger since my town dosnt even have a proper store!!!)
I ended up charging the phone for a while and then when i disconnected the charger to use the phone it just went blank and will not turn on anymore. Even the Battery Charging (orange) LED will not turn on. What do i do? should i get a new battery? or should i try getting another charger?
thanks

assuming it was working properly before it crashed, you will probably have to either find someone else with a wizard and have them charge your battery for you, buy a new battery put it in the phone, boot up and leave it connected to the USB for a full day to charge it up completely. Search the forums for the 9V battery revival trick, it may help you get booted up and be able to save the cost of a second battery.
dont get a battery a waste of time
the problem is the charger I have confimed this. In my environment we have about 10 Razors and 20 MDA's. This is a common complaint amougst our users. The motorola charger don't work on the MDA'S. I promise you if you get another charger it will work. Also if you plug your sync cable in to a pc it will charge this should prove my point.

Not charging stellar

Hi.
My xda stellar is not charging but in a very strange way...
The orange led is glowing and in power menu i get the "charging" notification but in fact the device is not charging... :S What's wrong??
I think that it happened after i tried to charge the device using a motorola charger. I don't have the original charger i used to charge it with an htc mini usb charger that i had.
The pins of the usb port seem ok...
For the moment i'm charging the battery outside of the device.. :/
Any suggestion?
Could be an old dried used up battery.
I tried a second one(new) that's not working too.....The device was working perfectly until i tried the motorola charger..
Hey, I'm having the same problem and I seeing as i brought the phone second hand it didn't come with an official charger and just used the USB mini i have laying around. Again I have replaced the battery thinking it was that. Nada. Still doing it.
I've taken the phone apart and cannot see anything wrong.
So I was wondering until the problem is solved, how are you charging the battery externally?
Thanks

[Q] Phone Dead...

My battery totally died last night and powered off when it ran out of battery however now I cannot charge the phone at all. It was on charge all night and no charging light comes on. Ive tried with the mains cable, usb cable to pc and in car charger.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get it working again?
Thanks
Did it just randomly die? Is there anything you did beforehand that could influence it, like dropping it (in water)?
I'm not entirely sure what it could be, but if you could provide this info, others mide have an easier time troubleshooting.

HI
greetings,
connect the phone to charger and press and hold the power button for 30 sec and see if the led is flashing
if not then connect to pc and try to boot into bootloader menu and tell what happens. weather it boots, does it just vibrates or does the led flash

I can charge Ace only when it's turned off (more inside)

Yesterday i managed to resurrect my Ace after it's been bricked for months using a usb jig. I've installed cm-7-20130608-UNOFFICIAL-cooper and everything is perfect except for the fact that i can only charge it when it's turned off. Then i simply connect the charger, battery icon appears and i can turn on the phone. It will keep chargin. But only if i turn it off first, then plug the charger. If i just plug in the charger while Ace is on, nothing will happen. The same goes with usb connection. It's not a rom issue, because i had the same problem with the old rom. I tested it before i installed the new one. IMO usb port is not damaged, because otherwise it wouldn't charge at all, would it?
Hopefully someone will come with the solution

Why don't you flash a fresh stock? You could test this trouble on it and then you could try it in Cm7 again
Do you have original Samsung charger?

[Q] Discharging while charging, not charging, slow charging

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.
