So, I have the official Sony DK48 dock for my Z3 Compact (no case). The phone will recognize that it is connected to the dock by giving the notification sound, but the battery will not charge while on it. I've tried wiggling it all sorts of different ways, and tried at least 3 different USB cables, but still no dice.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Have you used original cable? I had this problem with some poor quality cables, they were too thin inside for the designed current
plug it in the mains...

With 'mains' you can mean so many things.
I guess you mean plug the cable in an electrical outlet, rather then in a computer. I believe that I had the same issue. (Worked fine in an outlet)
The DK48 will only charge the phone when power comes from the mains. It does not charge the phone when connected to a USB port of a PC or laptop.
Use the original charger and the original cable that came with your phone and the Z3/Z3C should charge just fine in the DK48; that's at least what my does.
Yes all of my attempts occurred while plugging the dock into the AC adapter that came with the phone.
I guess then it seems like its a faulty DK48...
It should work with the original cable, adapter and electric outlet (not a PC).
Why wouldn't the DK48 charge through PC? How does it know? Amperes?
The input from the computer is too low even when you plug the USB to 3.0 port... Unfortunately you MUST use wall charger for the DK48 to be working.

I am a bit late in this thread, but I will post it anyway in case somebody has the same problem. Dk48 won't charge phone while connected to PC, because it checks if data lanes in Micro USB port are used. If they are, charging is stopped. If someone wants to charge phone using dock connected to PC (I for example connect it to my active USB hub, which is connected to my PC) it is necessary to use Micro USB cable, which doesn't use data lanes, just charging ones.
I hope it will help somebody.

I've got some problem with this cradle,
its strange cause if the delivered charger is put into the mini usb its loads the HD2 only if I use the "charge on usb" option in power settings but if I plug in the normal Leo charger on micro usb port (which normaly is for data) its loading like usual... are there any wires wrong ?
no one out there?
Do you have a spare battery in there? I thought mine wasn't charging at first too, but that was because my second battery was charging. I only have the supplied charger plugged into the mini-USB port.
I haven't tried what happens if i connect both micro and mini USB to the cradle and i don't have the chance to do that anytime soon, might be an idea though?
Annoyingly, the HD2 sounds were played to the 3.5mm jack when plugged in (which i don't have connected to anything yet), so my alarm wouldn't sound. I found the setting where to route the systemsounds (either to device or external), so that's no problem anymore

i found someone here in forum who has build a switch to change between sync and charge mode with the cradle delivered charger, but he doesnt answer my question how he did it....
nickname is Donald24
hi,
the hd2 recognise a 'real' charger at the fact that pin 2&3 (the data pins) are shortend. so it can achive more then the 500mA that it can get from a (PC)usb port. at least at my charger things are handeld that way.

okay I managed to change my car charger this way but I'm not shure if I shorten the pins in the cradle with a switch to change between fast charge and USB connection if there will be some trouble with a connected PC...

Is it possible to explain how
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.
~T.J.
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

I plugged in my phone to charge it this morning and all of a sudden when i connected it to my wall charger it went into USB Debugging mode? This is a first for me and it kinda scared me a bit. I then unplugged and plugged it back in and it went into charging mode. Can anyone explain this? Has this happened to others?
I believe if the charge current is low, such as 500ma, the phone assumes it is connected to a computer. Doesn't mean anything other than a slow charge.

thanks for the reply.
im sure it was just a fluke. ive always charged it in this wall outlet. i replugged it and it works fine
has this ever happened to anyone else?
This happened again. Can someone help me out here?
Happens to me all the time. As the poster above mentioned, shouldn't be anything to worry about.
You can turn off usb debugging if it bothers you or use a different usb cord as some have a tendency to do this because they reduce current flow too much

That happens to me when i try to use the iPhone charger.. I'll try to jailbreak it..
Download "Spare Parts" from Market. In the Battery Info section, you'll se if the phone detects your charger as USB (PC, below 500mA) or a Wall charger (700mA)

So if it detects my wall outlet to be below 500mA then the power going to that wall outlet is low?

Let me test.. But my iPhone charger is 1000mA!! And my phone detects it as DC, acording to Spare Parts (USB), and if i switch to the original charger, it turns into AC..
If the phone controls how many mA/Volts can receive, and the charger is detected as DC, it will be charging at the same speed as if you use the PC USB, no matters if you uses a 200000mA charger...
BTW, sorry about my english

The charger has wiring that shorts the data lines - this tells the phone it is a wall charger and not a usb port - the usb port carries data, so the lines are not shorted. This controls the amperage - If it shows AC - the phone detects the shorted data lines and the phone draws about 700mA. If the phone does not detect the shorted data wires, the phone only draws about 500mA. In all cases the voltage is 5V DC.
I have a 2A car charger. With a regular cable (non-shorted data lines) the phone thinks it is on a USB port. I short the data lines and the phone says AC charging.

I am using the regular charger that came with the phone. Does this mean the charger is faulty?
I get this all the time. Probably because I'm using the little white USB to wall converter from my old iPhone. I still get a good charge, though I've noticed it charges about 2x faster if I turn it off and use the black charger from Samsung. That way I get about 20% an hour, otherwise about 10% an hour.

If you are using the charger and cable that came with the phone, and the phone settings page says you are charging via USB and not AC - then either the charger or phone is faulty.
after years of not issue, yesterday my note stop charging in the outlet chargers, I have several all do not charge it but have no issues charge my wifes phone.
but I can charge the phone with the same orig cable when the usb is my computer and not the outlet.
any clues why my phone will charge in my computer with same cable but not in orig outlet plug. please tell me I do have to have my $2K high end gaming desktop on just to charge my phone in its usb slot.
I cleaned everything, it is a new battery

any help is apprecaited
I guess problem is in your adapter..try different adapter and see if it helps

I have tried 4 different adapter/cords combos ( just in my house) none of them charge my phone in an outlet - all work with my wife's smaller samsung in output. so weirdly only a direct usb with the oem cord to computer works ( in both my desk and laptop). so weird. so annoying.
You have to buy a new charging port, and the board that comes with it. This is a link to the part you need. If you search "n7000 charging port flex ribbon" you should be able to find other places that have it. http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-charging-port-flex-cable-ribbon.html
Hello. I have quite the issue, the phone's MicroUSB has seemed to stopped working. I remember one night I plugged it in the laptop to charge it and got an windows error, like the port failed, but I was too busy to handle it so I left it like that.
I should mention that I used that option "Usb fastcharge" from kernel.. Is it possible my port is broken? It won't charge now at all.. I tried different cables to no avail. Previously I had to move the cable into socket and I could get it charging, but now.. nothing.
If I plug it in the laptop, I have the monitor attached on HDMI and for some reason it disconnects the monitor while I have the phone plugged in. Also it changes the laptop's brightness while I have it plugged. Seems so weird, I don't have warranty on it.
Also if I simply leave it plugged into the wall charger/usb port, the phones MicroUSB just heats up. I get no charging indicator or anything.
Anyone been through this?
