my kindle wont char plug it in get red light says not chargin pls help
Try using a different outlet or a different usb wall wort.
Make sure that u plugged in the USB Cable direct into the USB Port (dont use a USB Hub).
Are you using a Amazon charger, or at least one when you plug in it does not say you are using a "Low power Charger". My normal cell phone charger can not charge my Kindle Fire. So this may be a reason. If the kindle is under warranty, If you can not get it to charge I would contact them.

When I first got the phone earlier this week, I could plug it into the charger in the wall just fine with no issues, it would just charge. Now suddenly it started telling me USB connected and goes to the MTP screen and of course locks up the phone.
I can of course bypass this by switching the phone to mass storage mode, but since I have Kies and use it occasionally, it would be nice to not have to switch that setting each time depending on my charging/syncing situation.
Why would it have not locked it up with the MTP screen originally when charging from the wall but now it does? The results are the same whether its plugged into the wall or the USB port on the computer. I have two Captivates bought brand new on a family plan, both do this now with any combination of chargers and USB cables, wall USB port, or car charger. Neither one has a common application installed since the other is my girlfriends who hasnt done much to it yet, so Im blaming the phone itself for now...

Interesting. I just checked with my BB charger and they dont do it using that charger, but they do it as soon as I connect the stock charger again.
Im wondering if its a voltage sensing circuit thats tripping due to the different voltages which should be applied - either wall charger or USB port. Maybe for some reason my wall chargers arent putting out enough voltage and its thinking its a USB port, but the BB charger is putting the right amount of voltage out?
Am I on base as to how it differentiates between wall or USB port? The number of pins obviously doesnt matter as all the cables have all the pins in them, unlike some charger cables which only have the power and ground. The only thing I can think of is that it uses the amount of voltage/current to tell the difference and create its reaction.

Sounds like a problem with the stock charger, maybe usb cable alignment. My iphone wall adapter does this with the samsung cable but the samsung wall adapter doesn't, same with my car charger from att. Also I have a $5 walmart car charger that has a cable that splits into both a mini usb and a micro usb that isn't a real usb cable, it's charge only. That cable has no problem on any wall or car adapter. I believe the phone detects if its connected by checking voltage on a data pin (just a guess really) so if a nonstock charger is used it assumes that it is a computer. But it may also be a data signal that is given off by the charger.

did you try a new charger and if so, did it work? I've had my captivate since Thursday and on Thursday it charged and everything fine, but then yesterday,
a) no computer I connect it to while recognize it, no matter what I have it set too and have latest drivers installed
b) if I charge it, after I unplug it, it locks up to black screen and I have to remove the battery to get it to work
c) I also have an in-dash touchscreen monitor in my car that has a usb port because it works with an ipod. I plugged the usb into to use it as a car charger, unplugged it, same thing
d) it did say usb connected after it was unplugged, but I switched from mass storage to ask on connection and it went away
so is an actual wall charger the solution?

and now I unplug it, and if it locks, it will not unlock, just black screen
I have to take out the battery and then only way to get it to turn back on, is to plug it back in the wall

^^^Ouch that's not right, if you can't figure it out you may need to re-flash or just bring it back under warranty, or insurance

Hi,
I bought the nook but live in France. Can i charge my nook with my HTC Desire power supply and cable? The nook usb cable doesnt seems to be "only usb".
Thank you.
You can probably use a standard USB power inverter and generic cable. If it's safe for your Desire, it's almost definitely safe for the NC. However, some cables might randomly not work.
A standard micro-USB and charger will work, but it is slower than the Nook charger. I routinely charge from a powered USB hub at the office.

Ok thank you!
Hi I am also from Europe and I checked that Nook Color have a multi 220/110 voltage charger

You need only plug adapter
Yeah, that what i use for now. As i have my htc power supply alway connected to my wall i wan't to put the NC us power in his box.
I tried one of those cigarette light -> USB adapters for charging the nook in my car. When I plug it in, it wakes up. But it's not charging. Anyone have any idea? I'm using the Nook cable, btw.

It's charging, just slowly. Charging from a standard 500mA USB jack doesn't cause the "Charging" indication to appear in most battery monitors on the NC, but if you leave it there for a while with the screen off and not doing anything you should see the battery percentage go up a bit. It takes about 8 hours for a full charge via USB. It's enough power to either run the NC if you're actively using it OR to charge the battery, not both at once.
is there a way to just use the usb cable like when I plug the gt into my computer to get it to charge?

Try to turn off your tab then plug to your computer usb

Even though the icon looks like it thinks the tab isn't charging, it does actually charge anyways. Leave it plugged in overnight with the screen off, and you'll see. My Nook Color does the same thing. It's just that charging with normal 500ma USB is slower than the 2A regular charger so they want to discourage you from charging that way.
I bought a HTC One charger from Amazon, and when I try to charge my phone it connects but does not stay connected. Any ideas what I can do to get the charger to charge my phone?
Well. If it's a 2 piece charger, usb and converter unplug the Usb and connect it to ur pc. Does it connect? Or try a different wall outlet. Try it on a different device. Most likely it's defective if nothing works

I purchased a generic y-cable for this tablet. It goes by several names, but it's supposed to allow you to power a usb device externally while connected to a tablet. With mine, when I first plug it in it starts charging my tablet. But after about 5 seconds my Fire no longer charges from it. This happens on both Fire OS and CM. Is this normal? Is there someway I can keep my tablet charging while connected to a usb device?

I'd be suspicious of the cable if charging stops with no USB device attached. Also make sure the charging brick can supply sufficient current to satisfy both devices.
