Hey guys, my phone's started to go all flaky on me recently. Not sure if its related to the latest updates. But i've tried stock, cooked roms, even a full wipe but nothing helps. Everytime I charge my phone, after a few minutes, the headphone icon appears and this phone thinks theres a headset connected. It goes away after a few minutes after i plug it. Anyone facing this too? Anyone know of workaround to disable the headphone detection? its annoying as i can't hear anything from the phone if its charging.
do you use the original charging kit? or a docking station, sth. like that?
Actually, cos I noticed the old charging kit caused my phone to get really hot and thought it was one of the reasons the phone shutdown while charging, I figured it was defective and junked it. Have been using my N1 charger to charge it for months with no problems. I wouldn't mind getting an original charger if I knew it will fix it..but since the N1 charger was working fine before...
Ok solved. It was lg's updated stock froyo roms fault. Just flashed the leaked 20e gb rom and i no longer see the headset while charging.
Edit: Nope..it's back. think i will have to get it serviced

Alright my phone has randomly stopped charging and its very annoying. I thought it was a bug in JF's 1.5 so I reflashed back to RC29 and rerooted and got back to cupcake with apps2sd and everything. It still stops charging. Here's where it gets weird though, it only stops charging if I hold my phone in landscape view, otherwise in portrait it charges. And it also continues to not charge if my phone is completely off, but in landscape. Does anyone know how to fix this or will I have to get a new G1?
Could be a loose charging port. If you have an extra charger try that. There is really no other reason why is would do that. The firmware your running shouldn't effect it at all.
I had some weird problems similar. First question are you using USB charge cable from a PC or AC adapter. I've burned through 2 USB HTC cables connected via usb off my pc, but charges fine from an AC, USB car charger, and non HTC mini USB cable from an External HDD.
problem solved
Alright thanks for all your guys' suggestions, but it turns out I was blaming the phone when the real problem was my charger. I was only testing this problem on my stock G1 charger, but I used my old blackberry one and it worked fine. So I guess I'm just going to have to use a blackberry charger till I get my new phone. Thank you!
Same thing happened to me, except i ended up taking it to tmobile, waited in line, cute girl line, got up to her, told her whats wrong, she takes my g1, and plugs in a new charger, it works, i just stood there looking dumbfounded, and she had that "what are you an idiot" look on her face, haha
yeah, chargers go out all the time
So after a fruitless forum search for people in my situation, I'm hoping I can get an answer to my battery problem. A couple of days ago, my Tilt just quit accepting a battery charge. I tried it out of both the wall charger (stock) and from my computer, neither of which work. There's no orange charge LED nor any indication on the phone that it's plugged in. Additionally, it does not establish an activesync connection on the computer. It's as if the USB port just quit working. The weird thing is, I just plugged in my headphones and was able to listen to music, so this is clearly not the case.
So far I've tried a hard reset and also pulling the battery out and cleaning the leads, as well as cleaning the leads in the usb port. I'm running Mbvarian's Solace 3.1 if it makes a difference. Anyway, there's a 60% charge left on the phone, and I've shut it off to conserve power in the event that I need to flash the stock ROM back to it and send it in for repair, since I buy the insurance on it. Obviously, I'll have to do this by SD card since it's not syncing. So, I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this, and also if I flash AT&T rom back to the phone, whether they'll know that I had flashed a cooked rom.
Thanks.
Have you tried changing your SPL or Radio? I had the same problem(at least with the wall charger not charging). I flashed a 6.5 ROM and no more wall charging. Tried three other 6.5 ROMs and same thing so I switched radios with each ROM. No Luck so I went through changing SPLs and trying different radios and ROMs. I had a busy six days trying to get my phone back. The wall charger charges now,but no where near as fast as it used to. On the flip side the usb charges way faster now. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.
i had the same problem, tried everything, i finally got fed up and sent it to htc, they told me that the charging port came off the motherboard, wanted to charge 250 for fix, baskely the phone was dead, sry
I had the same issue....broke my mini-usb connector...stuck the stylus in when I was trying to soft reset in the dark.
I tried HTC...too much money, they said the motherboard had to be replaced, for about $300...BS.
Sent it to www.ppctechs.com excellent service, good price and excellent turn-around time.
I was thinking the connector might be broken, but if that was the case, shouldn't my headphones not work either?
Not necessisarily....depends on which pins (or contacts) are screwed up.
By the way, HTC wants to replace the motherboard.
PPCTechs will repair by replacing the mini USB connection on the motherboard.
Ok now I don't feel so bad I did the same exact thing. Alcohol may or may not have had a part in that.
I have a powermat in my room that i use for charging my phone up when I go to bed at night. But it seems that I can only charge my phone up by having the phone on. When I turn it off and plug my phone in, it just turns the phone back on. Although this doesnt happen when I plug in my phone into the Samsung usb cable that came with my phone, when its plugged into my computer.
Can anybody explain to me why this is happening? Just a curious thought I had.
I have experienced this with my powermat as well. One thing I noticed is that it wouldn't do it on my wifes phone running continuum 4. Only on mine which was running gingerbread roms. Didn't matter which rom either. Once I upgraded her phone to gingerbread hers starting doing it.
Could this be a gingerbread kernel thing? It does it with every different GB kernel I've used also.
A new day and perhaps a definitive answer to this. Would anybody else happen to know a solution to this? Or why it would be causing this issue?
I haven't noticed mine turning on beyond the charging notification. I've used the stock 2.1 and 2.2 and also the FireFly 3.0 Rom. I did notice a while back on some forums on Android Central that people who were using chargers other than the stock chargers were experiencing different things. If I remember correctly it has something to do with the exact voltages the charger supplies to the phone versus a USB from a computer and so on. Maybe it was the amps. Anyway these minute differences in the voltage tells the phone how to respond to being plugged in. I've got a couple of wall chargers from some long gone Verizon phone (RAZR I think) and my Captivate thinks it's connected to a PC and starts USB Debugging. (I am currently working on some Apps so I have left that option on for now.) The phone charges just fine and the chargers only have current through the 5V and ground pins so it shouldn't be able to do anything to my phone anyway.
Perhaps there is a setting in the ROMs that you are using that tells the phone to be turned on when connected to a PC and your phone is reading your charger as a PC. Just a thought. There might be a setting or something in your USB settings that would let you toggle that or it might just be in the ROM. I hope that gives you a possible line to try and start looking for your answer. Sorry I don't know more about it.
Hi all,
I have recently rom'd up with the revolt rom 1.3 and love it. I shortly after doing this purchased the wireless charging pad and cover from verizon. My problem is that when i use the pad it tells me my phone is charging, but when i come back an hour later the battery status is the same as when i put it on. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem, perhaps some qi charging files on the phone were removed or something on custom roms? It is possible i got a bad pad, but just wanted to check with the community first before i exchange it. I do place it correctly on the pad and make sure its plugged in first . Thanks
Have the same problem... if you watch it, few mintues in to the charging, it would say that charging has stopped because it was removed from the pad even though it is still sitting there. Tried it with 2 backs and 2 different pads, same thing. The unroot one I have has no problem...the root one has the problem after the OTA from vzn. Haven't a chance to troubleshoot.
Thanks for the reply, thats what i was afraid of. Do you know if a back up to rooted stock works? I wouldnt be surprised if verizon made it so that some how made it so that the phone detects root and disables qi charging, but still kind of sucks though...
Hello,
I got an issue, that i can't solve, and i wanted to know if anybody here got it, and in case there's a solution for that.
whenever i plug my LG2X running CM7 RC2 to my car charger, after few minutes the headset icon appears, and the device "thinks" that a headset was connected to it, therefore I can't hear GPS instructions etc'
when using the home charger, there are no problems
I'm running Cyanogen 7.1
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks
Guy
I would try changing the brand of the charger if it's not an LG and do tests with other's car chargers. I assume it doesn't happens with the regular charger.
Just a thought. I had a Captivate do the same thing, & it turned out to be crud in the cable end. Try compressed air in the cable end & charging port on your phone. If not, ditch the charger/cable before it fries the phone.
Hope it helps!

Thank you both,
I have tried switching charger. That was actually the first thing i did before posting this.
however, it does not help. The problem is general to car charging.
It is not related to my car, as i had the same issue with other cars, and other chargers.
this seems to be a software problem.
Guy
perhaps an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dwalkes.android.toggleheadset2 might help?
One thing's for sure; you're getting stray resistance in the charge port. Id still remove battery & find a non-metallic object to "gently" clean the contacts where the charger plugs in.
I accidentally got crud in my cord, but didn't realize it till the phone started going into download mode using this certain one. It was cool till it fried the phone ...
