Hi
When I try to plug my HTC One into my computer or the usb charger, the phone goes into Car mode and a message pops up in the notification center stating that the phone cannot be charged and that I need to use the charger I got with the phone.
I am using the charger (or USB cabel) that came with the phone. Thinking it was a software problem, I did a soft reset but the exact same thing continues to happen. The phone does occasionally charge with the USB charger but connecting it to the PC is a no-go.
I tried using the charger I got with the HTC Media Link HD but that won't work either.
Help would be extremely appreciated as I'm feeling quite uncomfortable with this happening.
Thanks in advance!

HI Guys
I have a Tytn II and recently I went abroad, and the phone said MM#6 phone not allowed.
Now I'm back in my home country, but now my phone will not charger from any charger ( I have tried more than 1), however it will charge ok using a car charger.
If I plug it into the PC , it does not detect the phone, I done a hard reset, and that didn't fix it.
Can anyone help me with this problem or any trouble shooting idea's.
Oh and I took the battery out and put it back in.
Thanks

The PC should charge it regardless if the OS knows what is going on. The phone will just pull the 5V off of the USB and charge the phone. It is not like some other phones (my motorola IDEN i335) that require a PC driver to be installed to charge. There may be something wrong with your PC or cable if it's not charging up. Have you tried wiggling the cable or blowing out the port? I have a few USB cables that require some attention in order to work. Hope that helps.
Hi there, thanks for your help.
I tried several USB cables, and chargers, some HTC chargers and a generic one, but none of them charge the phone up. I've tried wiggling the cable , blown air in it etc.
Its weird as it charges from the car charger no problem at all, just not off the PC , or a normal charger....arghh don't know what to do with it.

it won't charge off of a normal charger either?! Sounds like you have some black magic goin on
Hey there....
Nope wont charge off a normal charger
Wont charge off a USB cable
but WILL charge off a car charger.
Have you checked the HTC website? I was just there on another issue and seem to recall seeing something in the FAQs about this issue.
nope
thanks for the help bud, but that FAQ if for phones that charge off AC adapters but not of usb
mine doesnt charge ofan AC or a USB...ONLY a car charger
Hey there Xlt, What contry did you go to and what country are you from?
If you went to a country with a 220v and your charger only supports 110v you may of damage the charger and the phone with the voltage difference and vice visa.
The car charger may work because it is only coming from a 12v power supply, you could buy a adapter that lets you use the car charger in the home socket and then see if it works to see if it was the volt difference.
Hope that Helps
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

I have a problem. I don't have any opportunity to use regular charger for my G1. So I used charging via usb, but when I have turned on Wifi (ad-hoc to connect with laptop) and started to use G1 heavily it just dropped dead (battery is 0%). As I understand charging via usb is less then amount of power G1 uses during heavy use. But now I can't charge the phone at all. I have killed my second battery (stock too) the same way. The only thing that I see when connect to usb is that LED is red, sometimes light is pulsating, but can't turn the phone on. I also use to different source of charging. The problem I can do this only from USB port . Did somebody have such problem? I need someway to charge it...
Thanks for any help
You could try a powered USB hub, but if youa re going to buy something, why not just buy a charger?

I am using smth like this, a charger for mp3 player with 5.2v. Doesn't help
I am in Europe for couple of weeks, charger isn't working here due to different plugs, so I didn't bring it with me (but should , you can buy adapter US-EU plug without problem), thought charging via USB is working well, but it don't.
Hi All,
Just purchased S3 LTE around a week back and noticed that there is an issue on charging the phone through a USB charger.
This handset came with Jelly Bean OS and had the version as 4.1.1. I purchased a third party USB charger and when connected from my Laptop to the mobile, it does not charge and nothing happens. However after experimenting, then noticed that if I restart the handphone then the charging automatically starts!
I believe this must be still an open issue in this version of handphone. Correct me if I am wrong.
If anyone has any solutions to overcome this issue, please share it with me here. I would highly thankful.
Thanks!
This is the first time I have heard of something like this
Phones have a minimum voltage required to charge them so it is probable that your computer is not supplying that
Try a different USB cable (may be faulty) and also try from a different USB port
It should work flawlessly when plugged into a power outlet
If it still doesn't work them do factory reset and if all else fails then warranty the *****

My htc one m7 started getting trouble charging a while ago. The USB cable had to be just in the right angle, sometimes it would drain battery with charger connected. I figured the charging port was broken and took it to a repair center. I got the charging port replaced and while the phone was opened up, got a new battery as well.
Today I got my phone back and a number of strange things are going on:
The phone will not charge when turned on. It does charge when it's off but with a short interruption about every minute.
I have a car charger with an LED indicator that lights up when it's plugged in to the car lighter plug. I can pull it out of the car and connect it with a USB cable to my phone and the LED will go on.
When I make a phone call the call will start on speaker mode. I have to tap the speaker icon to go back to the normal handset mode.
Especially the second one is very odd. Apparently the phone is providing energy over the USB port. Could be something related to USB otg functionality though. Has anyone experienced something similar before?
Do you guys think I can solve this with through software or is it something that can only be fixed by taking it back to the repair center?
Update: I just tried factory resetting and flashing an RUU. Neither of them had any effect on this behaviour. Anyone got a clue what could be the problem?
