Hi Guys I am new here and I need some help. I am in USA and I bought a Omnia from E-Bay everything was working fine until today when I plug my wall charger in I used before but most of the time I use the USB cable to charge the phone. Today I was used the wall charger and when I plug-it in the screen went black and from that time I try to reset but still death.
I am looking for some help from you guys or point me where to call for a replacement here in US no carrier has this phone now and I don't know what do do to get this back.
Thank you guys to being here.
You contact the seller.
Hi, I've broken the usb port on my Kaiser, making it impossible to sync or charge. Can this be repaired?
How broken is it?
Is it just loose or do you think something else is wrong (e.g. bent pins, etc.)?
I would take it appart and take a look if I were you.
Maybe its the USB Cable....did you try another USB Cable?
I tried another 2 cables, as well as the AC adapter charger - it's definitely the Kaiser. It's to do with the pins. To elaborate (I was hoping not to, but....) I was in bed, lights out, and I wanted to reset the Kaiser, so I was trying to insert the stylus into the little hole by touch (no funny business, honest) and I'm sure I pressed it into the usb port a few times by mistake. So at the very least I've bent or broken the pins.
Well, I've rung a repair facility taht does HTC products, and the person on the line said that if it was just the connector, I'll be up for AUD $110 (I live in Australia). But if it's the main board, then I will be up for AUD $590!!! If it's the latter, I may as well by a new one! I'll have to send it in to find out.
Mine had broken pins...hTC told me that the usb connecter is part of the motherboard and that the board would have to be replaced for $389 (US). I ordered a new one from AT&T (cheaper + rebate!).
Now have a back up that I can use for parts, or charge the battery in the new one and put the battery in the broken one! I can play with ROMs and radios on the old one
AND, I now make darn sure the stylus goes into the reset port rather that the mini USB port.

im having tha t same problem
any one know where to get this fixed if your not using the oirignal rom for cheap price?
bluetooth synch and external battery charger
I have the same issue here, my htc felt down and since then it's very tricky to synch via usb and sometimes tricky to charge up the battery.
So I'am now using the bluetooth connection to synchronize with my PC . I also bought before that an external battery charger for the tytnII on ebay from ecell for around 4 euros . I also bought a second set of battery for around 20 euros.
the tricky part is to succeed in seting up the bluetooth connection the first time , but I don't know I eventually manage to do it after several tries .
But of course now I won't risk any rom update or whatsoever.

I recently had the exact same problem as you and got extremely frustrated since every car charger at every store didn't work. I bought one that said it was compatible with the tilt the other day, but when I tried it in the car it didn't work. I figured at this point it was definately my phone being either a hardware issue or a physical issue. I got on the forum and through many searches I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406771&page=3
Basically, my 5th pin inside the USB connector came out of allignment and wouldn't charge via car charger. It would work with the headphone adapter with the charger connected through there and then held tightly to the phone. This verified something was loose in the USB port. So what I did was:
1) Turn off the phone (**Very important to make sure nothing shorts out)
2) Take a small flat screw driver or other flat object and carefully push the 5th outer pin (on the right when looking at the phone resting with the screen side up) and level it with the other pins. (*** BE VERY CAREFUL SO YOU DON'T BREAK THE USB CONNECTOR MORE SINCE IT CAN BE VERY FRAGILE WITH TOO MUCH FORCE!!)
3)Test it out (YAY it works!!)
This worked for me and now I am happily enjoying my car charger with no issues. Activesync is also working better by not hanging on calender items. Hope this helps you solve your issue so you don't need to send it in to AT&T.
NAV charger
maybe it is mechanical.
but i have very similar obsrvations actually throuout my history of htc devices. they would "suddenly" stop charging thru non standard chargers.
the same happened to me with my tytn2 and a regulaar usb car charger...charged fine until one day it wouldn't anymore.
Although i have no technical explanation as to what happens in the device to cause such a change in "attitude", i figured a "stronger" charger could maybe help and purchased a USB charger designed for (i think) Navigon GPS devices. The charger is larger and obviously stronger and has been working for half a year now reliably, while all others wouldn't.

Hello I have a very serious problem whit my Kaiser it doesn't charge, only on usb. I have a PDA charger, and a car charger(may be this is it's name) but they don't charge my kaiser.
I upgrade the radio recently and than i upgrade the rom. After that i discovered that problem.
Moreover the mini usb connection port on my PDA is in bad condition.
Perhaps that is the problem?
Please answer me.
If the miniusb port is in bad condition, it could be the port that is the issue.
Normally, if only one charger isnt working, I would say it is possible that the power supply on the charger is either sub-par or no longer working correctly. However, if your car charger isn't charging it either, that is a bit odd.
Was everything working properly until you began flashing things, or is it possible you just did not notice it until now?
EDIT: I misunderstood the OP and posted incorrect advice, please ignore this comment.
Well, before the flash the PDA charged both with the car carger and the regular charger.
But in the past I saw, when I plug the charger into the Mini usb port the PDA's led become orange (you know that's mean the charge) but the battery's power was the same after 2 hours. And now I connected again and the led wasn't change...:S But the usb carged my PDA 100% for the morning...
Well neither the chargers aren't the HTS's official chargers and the PDA isn't charge eith them when I turn of.
But it's charge from the USB. I can't understand it...
Sorry I have no idea, this is out of my league, I'm a noob
Wish I could help.
I have had the exact same issue since six months ago, and MiniDevil is probably correct.
If you look closely on the miniUSB jack on your phone one of the contact (golden) pins should be bent down, rather than up (if you are looking it with your phone's screen facing up). On mine is the rightmost pin.
When this first occurred I went to various repair centers and unfortunately no one could offer me a fix. You should check your local repair centers, maybe you have better luck.
I don't know what works differently from a USB port to a USB AC Charger. Maybe someone can clarify this part.
Good luck to you sir.
- Jim
Thanx all the answers
seriously? the usb works but the ac chargers don't because of the pins?! gahh. the igo might work...they tested it out at an att store for me, i just dont know which it is..i probably have to go back..
hi guys,
when i power on my kaiser (with the stock rom) and the phone gets to the welcome screen i can hear a dead battery sound and the phone powers itself off. tried hard reset, flashing a new rom, changing radio, buying a new battery, charging battery using charger wires..nothing seems to work . If i flash a new rom like wm 6.5 the phone shows me radio version, protocol version and rom version ( R G D ), the light dim's and the phone shuts down.
when i connect the charger a yellow led turns on..i left the phone charging for one whole day but the light is still yellow
any solutions? thanx in advance
go look for the exe file called powerdetect.exe this is a small program listed in the TytN II service manual that is used to check the battrey health. I suspect the batt needs to be replaced.
the battery is ok. i've tried with several batteries and the result is the same
What charger are you using? Motorola v9 charger wont do. I had similar power off issue when starting up a unused unit. Only able to charge with original charger 5v 1000ma. OR try charging it through the PC USB port. If you have a notebook, just leave it in sleep mode for overnight charging
I've got a similar problem but usually when i make or accept calls the phone switches off
My phone is a Kaiser 130 which runs on 5 volts but the battery i got with it (bought it on ebay) is Kais 160 which runs at 3.7 volts???? Also the mains charger i got with phone is a 5v.
I just did a power test using the program below till the battery was dead and then plugged into my laptop to recharge and within 2 mins battery is up to 72%???
can anyone who has a Kaiser 130 from new tell me the original battery voltage and code please
power detect download is here if anyone wants to download

then most likely is bad battrey.. with powerdetect my batt on tytn II only drops 1% every 4-6 mins.

every kaiser has a 3.7 volts battery..are you sure the phone turns off when you make or receive a call? My guess is that only the screen turns off (sleep mode - same as pressing the red button) because your ear can touch the screen and acces random menus etc

That´s the problem
are you sure? ..'cause i spent a lot of money on a new original battery later to find out that the problem isn't from my battery..don't want to do the same with the flex cable..i found one around 40 €
which flex cable are you talking about? Do you have a second unit that you can do a part swap to see if it is actually the cable issue?

the main flex cable, which connect the two parts. Unfortunately i don't have a second unit..
Hi Giany,
had a battery problem not the same as yours by the sounds of it but solved it by installing the orange shipped rom which comes with radio.
might be worth a try.
good luck

already tried with no result. thanks for the answer
I have the same issue... .-(
The phone just switches off completely with any hint of longer usage (phone call longer than 1 min or so, garmin mobile xt barely makes to searching of satellites). I use original stock ROM.
Unused (no phone calls) it can last for two days. I have tested it with brand new/unused prepaid sim.
I took it to authorized HTC service center, but unfortunately they do not support it any more due to lack of parts.
Anybody else have this issue? Or clue to what might be wrong. I really love this phone…

ok..so i disconnected the flex cable from the mainboard and I connected the speaker and the battery. I powered on the phone, waited for like 30 seconds and i heard the dead battery sound..could it be a short-circuit on the mainboard or this is normal?

Hi,
I have the same problem. Do you know how to fix it?
Tks,

Same / Similar Problem
I have the same (or at least quite similar) problem here. Only with me, I think it's the micro USB port that needs changing. There is two visible cracks which maybe stopping the flow of electricity.
When I plug it into a charger, either wall or to my PC, it turns on fine, and can stay on aslong as it's plugged in. (sort of makes it like a desktop then, doesn't it ). The problem is that it doesn't charge.
I am using ahmed fikry's 6.5 Kaiser ROM but do not seem to have had any problem with it so far. I also run Ubuntu and Android through HaRet.
replacing the flex cable worked for me..i found one at about 30€. Hope this helps
