Hi !!!
My Kaiser (Schap's lite 4.31) randomly stop charging, whenever it wants, at home (USB to computer) or in car (as GPS use for example)
With my laptop, i use my Kaiser for "Internet Sharing" to get HSDPA, the orange led stays for a while, and without raison, it turns green and blinks, as stand by mode. So battery decreases very fast. The only way to solve is to stop "Internet Sharing", then ActiveSync re sync, and then led shows orange charging again. Then i can start "Internet Sharing" again, but for how long ? Problem comes again and again...
In car, same problem. In GPS use, with car charger (brand Motorola), it starts Orange charging, and randomly, orange led stops and i'm back with green blinking, running on his own battery (but linked to car charger !!!)
With AC Charger, no charge problem.
Probably my Kaiser has charge problems while running apps ?
Somebody can help me ?
Well I have noticed this same behavior with my Tilt with various
roms. (Stock, Dutty's and now Garmins) It seems to me that at
the time the Tilt stops charging, the device is pretty warm. It
happend when tethered for ICS or when used as GPS. I may be
wrong but I have come to the conclusion that it is designed to
stop charging when the device reaches a certain internal temp.
Just using those two particular applications (ICS w/HSPDA and
GPS) causes the device to heat up, Combined with charging I
think it may be too much and the device stops charging to cool
off so that there isn't a component failure due to the heat build
up. I also say this because after an idle period with ICS (say I
am reading a long article) and the device cools a little it will start
to charge again. Likewise in the car with GPS.

This can help your problem to resolve,go to settings-system-power,make sure when device is turned on do not charge battery when connected to the pc,is unchecked.

@ Darkhynde : You're probably right !!! Last time i saw this non-charging behaviour, it happened after long GPS use (started on its own battery, summer temperature, hot in car, and it stopped charging 5 minutes after switching on car charger adaptor), and long, long HSDPA (more than 5 hours on USB) use.
Temperature must be the answer, you're the king
@ korakesion : Obviously option is checked
Thanks guys !!!

I've used my Tilt as a tethered USB modem during several disaster recovery tests for periods up to 14 hours and I've never had it stop charging.
But I can see the part about GPS because my phone gets hot as hell after 30 or so minutes with GPS running; still charges though...
100% Confirmed Temperatures is the key...
Not sure anyone is still reading this post... but I just want to let yo guys know that I have the same problem... (it stops charging when using internet sharing and it get really hot)
The only solution I have found is to put the Tilt in front of a fan... If you put the tilt in front of a fan... you can use internet sharing/GPS 24/7... done this a million times... and it works for days without a problem.
Hope this helps... take care everyone...
I've had my phone since October 2007 and have tethered with it pretty much everyday since dial up is the only other solution where I live and NEVER did the phone get hot or stop charging until yesterday. If while I am using ICS and I go into power settings and check don't charge while connected to PC and then immediately uncheck it it will charge for a few moments and then go back to flashing green. I put a new battery in and no difference. I hard reset the phone and tried ICS without loading anyhting on the phone still same thing. It charges any other way except when using ICS and I DO pay for tethering on mine.
Just an update to my situation. I plugged my phone into my other computer and used ICS and this time it charged until full (granted it was almost full already) So here I am on my laptop which it would not charge while using ICS and so far after about 10 minutes it is still charging. Only thing I did was poke around in the registry looking for some magic setting but I never changed anything. I don't know if leaving it on a wall charger all day and night did something or I just got lucky. Hopefully it will continue to work since i only have less than a month left on my 1yr warranty.

Doesn't this affect battery-life? I was under the impression you should not charge until the battery is (nearly) empty?
I have a feeling my hermes battery got wasted because the hermes starts charging every time I connect it to my pc (which is every day during office hours)
It's a defect. HTC sucks and I'll never buy one of their phones again. How disrespectful of them! I bought the phone hoping to use it as a modem permanently and go home to find the device heats up within 1 hour of usage and stops USB charging! I can't remain online for more than 2 hours without leaving the air conditioner on. What about the 3D display driver? No drivers! Down with HTC!
guys,
i think i'll have to report a strange behaviour (maybe functional error) of my D2.
i've tried to use it as a navigation device. from my colleagues i've heard that the D1 was heating up and crashing after a few hours of navigation (with the device connected to the car charger) - but i thought this issue was addressed and solved by HTC..
so my experience:
conditions:
- nav application: iGo 8 (v.8.3.2.83157)
- battery: charged full (while navigating, the D2 was not connected to the car charger)
- D2 was in direct sunlight, being positioned above the car's board
what happened:
after aprox. 1hr of driving, suddenly the device shut the screen off. then reappeared for 1 second, the disappeared again and kept "blinking" like this. i've tried to press the on/off button, nothing happened. then suddenly the charging LED started blinking going from green to red light, then on and off. the D2 got pretty much hot, but not THAT hot.
so, is this a device error? a software problem? a lack of compatibility between the D2 and iGo(8)? - here i must admit that i've used this device with the same software on another route (duration ca. 2hrs) where it went perfectly - batter went from 100% to 9%. no problems whatsoever there.
please help...

hmmmz, those are quality services which i don't know if apply here in Romania.
i have the device for more than 2 weeks now, so i guess i'll get only a service check from the company that offers warranty services here in Romania.
anyway, what i checked today is that i went into iGo application (to get the correct version to post it here) and stayed in the "About" window for a longer period...and guess what, the screen started flashing again?!?! (only this time the red and green LEDs weren't flashing) - so this time the device was not stressed at all, i thought it was an iGo error. so i "reseted" the application, and now it seems to work OK.
i will have to do another longer period testing of the navigation process, again in direct sunlight, to see if it was only this software problem or if it is really a device error (caused by heating)...
Hello all...Long time lurker, not alot of posts....Yes I searched. I sent in my N1 to HTC for alot of Dropped calls and overheating. Got new phone back and my dock wont charge the phone. Is there a setting I missed? Is it because of Froyo FRF91 is what I have? Does anyone else have this issue? I saw a guys car charger wont charge of Froyo....If i plug it in directly to the USB it will charge fine. Thanks in advance.
Wiggle it in the dock a bit, or hold it down.
The dock really sucks imho. I hate him. I can have it working fine, I get a txt that vibrates and it disconnects. Heck the phone fell off the dock one time cuz of vibrate.
Ive tried all of the above. And Im not crazy about the dock Either but I was about to get the car dock as well and .....Hell I paid 50 bucks for this thing!
I'm not a fan of the desktop dock either. I find I hit the power button to put it to sleep and as I take my hand away it shifts in the dock and wakes up again.
That said, the car dock is quite good. Holds the phone very solid yet is easy to get the phone in/out.
The built-in bluetooth speakerphone works fine ... sounds like a speaker phone but it works. Another feature is that it holds the phone in a way that leaves the camera pointing at the road ahead ... want to record that idiot driver ahead of you just fire up the camera.
The only issue I've had is that when using navigation in the hot sun while the battery is charging it has overheated a couple of times (i.e. rebooted without warning). Now I disconnect the charger unless it is needed and have not had the issue.
P.S. Neither dock work with cases ... probably fine with the skins though.
So I was going to purchase the official htc car dock and I came across problems such as the phone failing to save the dock settings and overheating when placed in the car dock.
Can anyone whose has the dock please confirm if this is true? Does cyanogenmod allows the dock settings to be saved?
Umm..Since the Google store Closed today, where are you intending on buying the dock?
Also Most Phones will get hot when charging and using GPS Navigation and the same time, my G1 overheated and N1 does get warm.
Its becuase the Battery is being drained real fast, and trying to charged simulatneously.
Why don't they make some sort of circuit, that could bypass charging the batt. temporialy and run the phone off ac?
I have found that when charging, using GPS / Navigation and in the hot sun the N1 will get very hot. In fact I've had two sudden reboots which I believe were overheating.
It works fine if you only plug in the charger for short periods of time ... which is enough to keep it going.
The BT speakerphone worked well with the stock FroYo but I think there may be issues with CM6.0 RTM. The BT connects but I've only had a couple of calls and I am not sure if it was using the N1's speakerphone or the car mount's speakerphone.
I have had one or two calls not use the dock for audio and instead use the built in speaker, but other than that it's great. The phone gets warm, but so does using the wall charger that came with the phone. It has never overheated.
But as mentioned before, unless you have already purchased the dock you are probably out of luck. I don't know where you could buy one now that the store is closed.
The N1 has a bug whereas sometimes when it's plugged in being charged, the touch screen goes wacky and becomes either unresponsive or the touch positions are way off. I've found that simply pressing the top button to turn the screen off then back on fixes it right away.
This is probably the issue you're been reading about. That aside the dock is great and have no qualms recommending it.

i've had that too, but not when it was docked, i was playing skies of glory and downloading something via 3G in the background, and it was pretty hot outside, so it did the same thing..
about the car dock, the phone does get hot, but it never failed me inside the car dock, you can also turn your A/C to go to the windscreen to keep it a bit cooler.
With Eclair i had the problem that when it was in the dock and i got a call it never actually used the dock for the phone call, now in Froyo that works just fine, i get a call, the trackball flashes blue and i can hear and talk through the dock audio.
It's definetly worth buying, i didn't have any major issues with it yet!

I have this problem too. Do all n1s have this? I was about to return mine.
Hi guys,
I've got a little problem with my official Samsung docking station.
As soon as the battery gets fully charged the displays turns on and won't switch off automatically again, so every night the display is running for several hours, showing the dock clock until I wake up and turn it off.
I'm quite worried about early AMOLED wear-out or burn in issues because of this and am wondering if there is any way to prevent this behavior.
Thanks in advance!
