HTC USB Charger caught fire?

Yesterday I wanted to load my HD2 so I plugged the charger into the socket and connected the HD2 to the charger. Just like always the HD2 began to load.
About one hour later there was a very burned smell in my room. I unplugged the charger. And this is the result:
Is there only me having this problem ?

I think this is a very serious problem that needs to be addressed to HTC if not done yet by someone, a friend´s apartment got caught on fire because a htc charger, same problem I assume , I guess we need to keep the charger on sight when in use to avoid a disgrace.

I hope my old charger from my touch diamond will not have the same problem sometime

Same problem with the charger of my Xperia X1 (also HTC), smoke came out the charger.

Ouch. I keep mine on a hardwood floor, but this time of year it's always a good idea to keep a eye on power packs and chargers. I've always thought my charger ran remarkably cool, I run a cradle off of my charger and frequently charge the phone and battery at the same time, I think I'll give it a heat-check next time I have them both on charge.

That sucks... Since HD2 has standard mini USB connector. I use either the charger from "late" Xperia X1 or my Samsung Omnia HD. No problem there

Yep my charger is hot
I did not notice before this thread, but yesterday I charged my HD2, and I touch the charger, and it was peaty hot. I do not like this...

I don't understand why they changed the charger cause my old charger from the touch diamond is not even a little bit hot. Maybe it's cheaper for HTC

Maybe they thought that this charger would be better. But in real world everything is not perfect...Unfortunately

Extreme battery drain

Hey guys,
I connected my phone to my PC over night for charging as always but when I got up and took my phone it only had 4% battery! It's like the battery just wiped itself from a moment to the other. And now when I try to charge it again the light shows it charges but when I turn on my phone after 30min the battery didn't charge at all... Did anyone experience this before? Do I have to buy a new battery?

Sounds like your battery is shot. So you may need a different battery.
Try different cables etc but if that doesn't work you need a New battery.

Tried a few cables. Weird thing though: In recovery it says 32% and when I boot it up now it says 9% but doesn't really change. Seems like the battery is screwed up... Could it be that the Desire HD has got the exact same battery? Because if it's so I could try with the battery from my dad's DHD...
EDIT: Ok, it's not the same This is gonna be expensive...
EDIT2: So I got my new battery but the phone still drains too fast imo and I can't really charge the battery to 100%... Is sth wrong with the USB-port??

This might help.
Let your battery drain completely and let your cell get switched off.
And then in switched off state, charge your phone completely.
Switch it on...Use your cell as you do it regularly.
Repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
You will be surely benefitted.

did you try plugging into the wall? different USB port?

I had similar issue awhile back that it didn't want to charge with USB but with the AC adapter it worked fine. Also noticed it wouldn't work with USB at all I sent it in for repair and it was apparently USB port broken. Then I had to send it in again because when they fixed usb they broke mainboard
p.s omg I hate captcha tried posting this 10 times ...

Looks like I forgot to post So here is what happened: I got a new battery but even that I couldn't charge with USB. Than I pulled out my AC adapter and it works fine now. Looks like my USB Port is shot but since it still works and just won't charge my phone, I'll ignore that. But my old battery was surely shot because I couldn't even charge it with AC adapter...

Sorry if this seems a little late. It could be the roms fault you are getting strange readings. When I use ice cold and reboot my phone, the battery percentage reading changes like crazy. Sometimes the reboot makes the reading go up, and sometimes down.
USB port breaking is a common fault on inc s, though, so it could be that also, as you have said.

I tried ar least 5 different ROMs so I'm pretty sure that's not it That was also the first thing that came into my mind;D

Have u checked the charger plug cos if its that stupid black charger that comes with the phone they can play up my old one does this and I have to twist it slightly for the pins to touch try a apple charger or another USB charger

Help! My phone isn't charging.

One day I was away from home and my battery was low. So I had to use a Sony Xperia charger. But now my phone has problems charge.
problems such as:
-it won't charge
-it only charges to 50%
-the charge cuts in and out
-I have to leave it still or it won't charge.
Has anyone had these problems occur. This is really annoying and I would like to find a solution ASAP
*and the only charger that doesn't cause this problem is ny nexus 7 charger. But I don't want to use it. Because when I tried it, it said it's not compatible and will damage my device.

Unfortunately it sounds like the micro USB connector port may be partially broken. Did you try a different USB cable with the stock charger?

Sorry, that was my only work around. I think you need to get the hardware repaired.

If your phone is charging half way through then It should not be the connector. Try charging through the use if laptop. Try clearing the battery stats if rooted else back up your phone and try restoring it to factory settings.

HI
greetings,
I think its a hardware problem
might be the micro usb port of the cable has to do something
try any of your friends htc cable and plug and see if the problem exist then its not the cable but the phone ....
best way is to take your phone to htc service centre

Any Decent N7 Chargers?

Can anyone recomend me a Nexus 7 charger? My stock charger has problems with very slow chargers, and most the time dont charge at all. At the moment i am using a old charger from a samsung phone but i find the connector very wonky where i have to wedge a bit of card next to the connector to keep it in place to charge. Also the cat has had hold of it so the wire is split down the center. Cheers.

I find the stock charger the best in the house, it's rated the highest (2A if I'm not mistaken)
Samsung cables don't fit well, they keep falling out
I got a Logitech charger with my mouse, and it seems quite high quality, but it's only 1A, and Nokia chargers should also be good, but thats only 1,2A I think.
Try a different cable first, I find it hard to believe that a charger would sometimes work, sometimes not, these things usually either work ok, or not at all.

Thanks, and yea tried a few the best one at the moment is the samsung one im using i just got to make sure i dont move the device or cable lol. The stock one only lasted a month or so. Full charge took about 15 hours where as the samsung one takes 2/3. I will brosw around on amazon and see what i can find.

Got one of these back in January, still going fine. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009ZSTXIS
It's gone up a couple of quid since I bought it.

It must've been faulty to begin with then. If you still have warranty, take it back, you should get a new one.

Hi:

[Q] mophie juicepack htc one

Hi has anyone had issues with their mophie juice pack? I bought a brand new one straight from mophie and when I put it on, my phone starts spazzing out. It takes screenshots randomly and the lights keep blinking on the bottom and it tries to restart itself. I thought the mophie was defective so they sent me another one and it still does the same thing! Anyone else had issues with this? My HTC is 100% stock.

Yeah they're **** and Mophie is aware of it. Mine would just not charge the phone lol. I had to put the case on the phone flip the switch to "On" plug the charger into the case then unlpug, then it would start charging lol. Idk they're weird.

have not had any issues with mine like that. I occasionally get a message about only using the supplied charger to charge your device.

So is it mophie's fault or htc's fault?
Also, is there anything wrong with using another micro-USB cable to charge the phone? Why does that message pop up about not using the stock charger? I didn't think that anything bad could happen to it.

I Would imangine that the fault falls under mophie's as they should've test it throughly.
Also its recommended that you use the charger it comes with because stock adapters/chargers provide the right amount of power to charge the phone. Sometimes A/C adapters (and USB cables) from other phones send out less or more juice then the phone needs. Less juice longer charge time, more juice fast charge times but ofcourse this coems with a risk because you can also damage your battery with lot more juice. For example its not recommended to use a Note 2/3 adapter with an Evo LTE cause it can possible short the battery. Me i only use the OEM charger HTC for HTC Phones Samsung for Samsung Phones Etc. unless im out and about then im using my external battery. Also from Personal Experiance with my Evo Lte it took longer to charger with the note 2 USB cable (Note 2 USB with HTC adapter) then it did with the HTC USB/adapter. I also have a wall outlet with one outlet and 2 USB ports also takes longer to charge having my HTC USB pluged in (i dunno why). so i charge using the HTC Charger (again unless im out and about then i use my external battery).
*************************************
I Actually remember reading a few years back the samsung USB's would charge samsung phones perectly fine but charged other with less power. dunno how true that was.
