Streak 7 won't charge! All help appreciated!

Every time i plug in the charger it thinks im plugging in a dock. All it would do is go into docking mode. Now the battery is dead and it won't do anything. Anyone have any advice on a fix or alternate way to charge. I tried every way possible of resetting before it died but to no avail. I appreciate any and all help guys.

My streak 5 did this to me, without any time to waste I went to Best Buy and bought one flat out, tried the new cable and I was good to go, I kept the good cable and returned the new phone to Best Buy.... crappy thing to do I know but i couldn't go without and dell was the only place to get cable.

Sounds like this might be a solution, unless it's the Streak7 that has the connectors wrong.
I'd guess that this has to do with the connexion points in the PDMI cable or port. It has pins that will trigger dock mode and pins that will trigger battery charging (iirc), so perhaps either the ones on the cable or on the S7 are switched around (or have some sort of jump going on due to poor QA).

Ugh, my new Dell 7 won't charge now either. I did charge it once, then flashed HoneyStreak, and now it won't charge. It can connect to my computer's USB port, but no charging.
I think I saw someone suggest to go back a version of HoneyStreak. Any suggestions?

The S7 cannot charge from the computer USB port; it only works with the mains adapter supplied with the device.

What's annoying is the LED goes red like it's charging, but it isn't... or it's draining faster than it's charging.

After looking further into my problem, i see now that part of the board where you plug it in at is broken. Dell sent me a new one, so im gonna crack it open and try bypassing the old charge port and put in a new usb port to charge it with. Then ill have two of them. Ill never know why dell didnt go usb on this thing anyway. Oh wait they did that so we cant buy aftermarket cables for it! Damn is dell owned by microsoft!! Lol. But thx for all the help and helpful ideas everyone!

I am having this problem with a new streak I got for one of my boys, the connector inside is broken. Did you ever get the part replaced? Or is it just an expensive paperweight? What did you have to do to change it out?

I think they planned to have an expansion port, where the connector was used for other things, like HDMI perhaps. HP did the same thing with the Slate 500.

Looking for a cable that can usb otg/power at same time(Future Car install)

I have everything planed out for my tab install for my Dodge Magnum. But since the Nexus 7 doesnt have a sd slot I need to find a cable that can charge the tablet and use my flash drive at same time.
My flash drive(Usb on dash, so its easily removable)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00812F7O8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Plugging this into the usb otg cable
http://www.amazon.com/Black-4-Port-...qid=1348442221&sr=8-3&keywords=4+port+usb+hub
I would love host cable with 2 usb inputs but cant seem to find it and dont know if its even possible.
Any help would be appreciated.

I found this on the bay : item # 140839631580 (Can't post link I'm too new... I was a lurker for a while -_-)

i didn't think the N7 could support power and OTG

You want it for video or audio? You could try a wifi solution for audio. Or be the guy that gets the pins to work.

there is NO data and charge at the same time. This is due to how the device switches from charge to usb mode thru the pin 4 . it senses rather a data cable or charge cable is being used . will not charge via otg..
there are several threads with experiments trying to get this work .You could use a wifi or bluethooth drive for data...

I have no clue what im doing but this is what im playing with at the moment. Its a old dock for sgs2 i believe but it has a dc and usb input on the back of it.
Im about to this because i have very little patience for china.

Would get the cheaper one but the juiced one has a flexible cable vs the fixed usb on the other one. Would this be pointless though?

Unfortunately OTG sends ground up the sense pin to trigger host mode. Once activated it sends 5V DOWN the USB cable to power your USB devices. Trying to send voltage up the cable at the same time to the Nexus would not be a good idea. The only way around it I can think of would be to hack the firmware to only activate the data pins in host mode and keep the power circuit seperate, then you could power the USB device from a modified dock/hub which sends power up the USB cable to the device.
A lot of work, and without the powered hub, OTG would be useless!

In the long run wouldn't it be easier to just plug in the power lead when needed and have the otg in the rest of the time? (or vice versa). It would mean you having to have easy access to the usb port but I can't see an easy non technical solution to connecting both at once.

Don't use the Nexus 7 for a car install. You can get an Acer Iconia A100 with a full-size USB port to connect to whatever external storage solution you want, and it's usually about the same price or cheaper than the Nexus 7.

Would it be possible to charge while using an OTG Cable for Keyboard/Mouse or does the same principle apply as inn data via OTG & charge?

Same principle. In normal OTG host mode the tablet powers the peripherals. A USB keyboard/mouse will be no exception to that.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but was wondering if you ever ended up getting that Juiced systems adapter and if it worked well with the N7. Been looking at it but haven't found any success stories on XDA with the N7, just the few Amazon reviews...

That cable would work but u need specific kernel tweaks for otg + charge to work. Pm me if anyone needs it.

I am interested in this kernel patch quite a bit. I have a galaxy note 2 (sprint version). What are the odds someone has figured out how to get power and otg working on the note 2?

Ofcourse there is charge and otg at the same time by just simply shorting pins 4 and 5 with a resistor,in my case for xperia p , a 100k resistor does it.

Timurs USB ROM from another site is what you want. Has links and everything you need.
I was going to do a car install as well but after sourceing parts and work estimates ( I want clean install, like stock) just more hassle than its worth for me. Please post pics if you get an install going.

Yep it must be the usb, sometime I had a message that said my phone was using more power than what the charger provided and that I needed to turn off the phone or stop the running applications.........and wasn't using it at all lol
I went and get one from eBay in less than $7

Could that be possible??= =consume power even though its connected to the charger....

Well I'm not sure with the Inc S, but I had a Galaxy S that when it was at 100% it would stop charging even with the charger plug in, Samsung said it's a feature to protect the device...........go figure LOL

thanks for you advice guys..really appreciate that..

if its not connecting to usb also then its defiantly usb port prob ...i dont think its battery's fault ..

thanks guys...my IncS is back...manage to replace the port myself...you guys save my money alot coz before this i think to buy a new battery...big thanks again for all your advice...

[Q] Xperia Z charge in reverse polarity

good day I just want to seek an advice i recently charge my xperia z in a wrong polarity because i solder my broken cable in reverse polarity i didnt notice it. Now my xperia z has no power cannot connect to pc and no led light at all. thanks in advance

Do you tryed an other cable and charger to charge your phone?

It shouldn't matter too much as there will an internal circuit that prevents the phone from being damaged by such a problem.

[Q] Samsung smart dock on Xperia z1?

Hey guys,
I was looking at the Samsung smart dock :
( can't insert link as I am a new Member)
And was wondering if it would work on the Xperia z1?
I know that the z1 supports MHL and OTG so I'm guessing it could work..
Also, I realise that the actual phone won't fit onto the dock properly but I really want hdmi out with at least 2 usb inputs, so I'm fine with using a micro usb male to female cable to run from the phone onto the dock.
This is my first post so let me know if I'm doing something wrong
Thanks in advance

It's a hardware issue actually, Samsung uses special usb connectors which can active both mhl and usb at the same time, not sure Sony does too...

I use something like this and it works fine to have HDMI out, but never tried using the USB in at the same time.

You can use the usb as storage or only for charging while using hdmi?

I heard that the USB input on that could only be used for power and nothing else.. :/

I think that's correct, as the HDMI output does not work unless there is AC power going to the Micro USB in.

Theres a cheaper version of the dock on ebay for $11 which has HDMI and USB (both full size) ports. I might buy it and try that one first.

A stupid question, how can I use the MHL cable and charge the Z1 in the same time? It is possible?
