Greeting to XDA-community.
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 guys,
I'm having a problem with my incs lately, it WILL ONLY charge on any mode other than charge only... That means I can only charge it using a computer on either usb tether/usb storage. (When its in USB Storage, I can read my SD card from my computer)
The problem come when i tried to try the USB host using the Y cable, I think i messed up somewhere. The phone thinks that there is a data session running INTO my device, and to make things worse, I set my USB to PC connection to Disk Drive by default. After I unplug the device from the Y cable the Disk Drive symbol still exist and the led (orange) still lighting up. I connect it to the charger and plug off, it seems to turn off the disk mount and led. However after that point, I can't never charge using charger/usb charge only. (Its a flash drive and a 5VDC power source on the other end of the Y cable if you are wondering)
I have tried flashing different ROMs, even charge when the device is off, charge in recovery, and wipe battery status. None works.
So... For now I think I fried the USB controller, so can anyone suggest any solution? HW replacement or a SW that will make the phone think all plug that goes to the microusb is a data? or any other?
Thank you in advance
What kernel/mod are you using for USB host?

Well, I failed using it, I was using ARHD, and there was no USB host capability.
Can someone suggest what the problem might be? Is it just the port or something deeper? If its just port, thank god this spare part is avaiable

Or its the controller

You can change what it defaults to, can't you? Change it to charge only mode. How is your device unlocked and have you done any other mods?
I can assure you its not something to do with the mod/software. Currently the phone cant be charged t all unless you charge the battery separately.
I think when i plug a charger , the current goes in reverse direction, making it discharge even faster, rather than charging

That's actually not possible, but you may have a charger issue. Have you tried another one?

Hi wpra3, i think i have exactly the same problem with you, initially i thought is the usb spoil, when i plug to computer, it prompt me that unrecognized device, recently it become worst when i plug in the usb, it not charging but is discharging and some time it prompt me that my phone is using too much battery while i am charging.
Have you find any solution yet?

I've solved my problem go to this thread, i made a guide on how to replace USB port that ultimately solve the problem

It appears that either the USB port or the USB controller is failing (has failed). The phone still charges but neither the phone nor any computer recognizes that the phone is plugged in. Even when I plug the phone into a wall jack, the phone does not make any sound or light up or show it is charging (it does charge though). If I go to the battery settings while the phone is plugged in (computer or wall) the phone recognizes that it is charging.
If the phone is off and I plug in the usb cable (compter or wall) the phone turns on by itself. This is problematic because I cannot get into the download mode using the 3 button combo. I also cannot get into the download mode using apps like Reboot Widget.
I installed USB Host Controller which says that the USB cable is not plugged in when it is. I can disable and enable USB charging though. Changing the USB Host Drivers has no effect.
So it looks like I need to send it into mobiletechvideos for repair. But reading through the reviews there is concern that just replacing the USB port wont fix my problems if the USB Controller is shot.
Not only did they replace the USB port and get it back to me in about a week but they told me that since the controller had failed and the phone couldn't talk to the computer I wasn't charged the full price for the repair.

So I guess I'm asking if anyone here knows anything about this issue and if mobiletechvideos.com can repair it.
I am also going to email mobiletechvideos.com asking them this same question.
Thanks for your time.

Mobiletechvideos (Connexion2005 on xda) can most likely repair your phone. Him and Adam Outler have been doing the impossible with devices!
Hello! After some experiments with POGO contacts on my Nexus 7 3G I have the following situation:
1. The normal USB-charging can not properly start. The battery state in the Settings menu eventually changes from Charging to Discharging and back, the battery level goes down as it is indeed discharging. If the tab is off, then the charging animation is not shown completely in an infinite loop.
2. No any connection can be established with a computer using USB cable. Windows 7 machines just ignore this connection without any traces. Windows XP machines repeatedly show warnings about a non-recognized usb device although all drivers were preinstalled.
3. If I put a USB-OTG cable into the tab (even if the cable is empty from other side) android shows that the battery is charging. Neththertheless, the tab in this state correctly recognizes flash drives as it did previously.
4. The POGO charging contacts are alive. The charging is normal. Moreover, this charging alllows to normally connect the tab to computer via USB cable.
I used the last feature to return to the stock ROM and to lock the bootloader, so the device is ready to go to service. But are there some chance to fix the problem by my own?
Thank you!

It seems, yes, but it is very easy way to break:laugh:
No excuses for breaking it, I did not hook it up the wrong way for my GNex................

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.
