Kaiser Charging Problem

I'm creating a new thread because I think my charging issue is unique...
My Kaiser will show an orange light and indicate that it's charging when:
1. Powered On and plugged in to: USB, AC power Adapter, or Car charger
but it will not take a charge and the orange light goes out after about two minutes.
2. Powered Off and plugged into: USB, AS Power, or car charger
but the orange light remains on and it never charges (tried 5 hours)
The device also does not sync, I don't see anything physcially wrong with the USB port, but it was damaged by water several weeks ago, it hasn't worked properly since.
I've been getting by with an external battery charger that I purhcased from Ebay.
Does anyway have any ideas? I've reflashed the device since then as well and there is no change in how it reacts to charging..

Hi echofive
I have the same problem with my Kaiser but at least it charges with just one of my 5 AC power adapters. Not in my Car charger and not on a USB connection.
Maybe it has something to do with the small USB pins on the Kaiser which are not properly aligned. You can try to bend them.
Good luck.

Hello, I was having this same issue and (long story short) I believe that it is the small USB pins on the phone.
Here is what I found (sorry knda long post). I have two ATT TILT phones. My Original Tilt phone got soaked in water but I was able to almost salvage the phone by soaking it in Denatured alcohol and letting it dry. This 'wet' Tilt has all functions but cannot read sim cards. It does however charge perfectly.
The replacement Tilt I have works like a charm but refuses to charge. Regardless of USB charging, off the wall charger or car charger, the orange light comes on, says it is charging but in 2 minutes the light goes out. The phone is still listed as charging but I know it is not charging because the battery level continues to drain. The phone does sync to my PC and I am able to transfer files to/from my new TILT via a USB cable. Just cannot charge the device.
I have 3 batteries. 2 stock batteries and the large 3200mah battery. All three batteries will not charge on my new TILT. I tried charging it via USB connected to my Computer, Car cigarette lighter, Car inverter charger, official TILT charger from CINGULAR ATT. Completely unable to charge the device.
If I attempt to charge the batteries (all three of them) on my old 'wet' TILT the batteries charge regardless of what method I use. It will charge via USB connected to the PC, USB connected to wall charger, official ATT TILT charger, or car charger. No issues. So I know the chargers, cables and batteries do charge on a TILT. Both TILTs are official ATT TILT devices. Two of the batteries are stock and 1 of the batteries is a SEIDO 3200mah.
Sometimes I get lucky and the new TILT phone does charge. In these cases I charged the phone using the Wall charger and the battery was over 50% capacity.
Now I know the new Tilt USB port is working because it syncs to my PC just doesnt charge after 2 minutes (light goes out) and battery continues to drain (watched and tested this after 3 hours of observation). I ended up ordering one of those TILT USB connectors which have a 3.5mm headphone jack and USB port.
This device: http://www.amazon.com/i-Trek-Stereo...8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1230877732&sr=8-4
What is weird is that I can now charge my NEW TILT using the USB port on this connector with this connector attached to my new TILT. If I attempt to charge the TILT using the onboard USB port, it stops after 2 minutes and the light goes out.
Personally, i think it has something to do with the pins. Hope this helps someone.

Been there, had that problem and the solution was even simpler and didn't involve the charging/USB port at all. Get a cotton bud (US folks call them Q-Tips) and spray some contact cleaner on it (not anywhere near the phone) and use it to carefully clean both the gold strips/terminals on the batteries along with the gold spring terminals on the phone. Although they may look clean, invisible grime film can make the connection fail and cause this problem. This is also a good tip to follow with ordinary household battery rechargers and NiMH cells. I haven't had this problem since but still carry out a terminal clean every few months to be on the safe side.

My phone wouldn't charge anymore. Searching through threads I found a magnificent magnified picture of the mini-USB port and the way the right part of the port was bent down a little. It was exactly like that with my phone, I used the pointing stick to tilt it up a little (be careful it may break of the pins, and that would lead you far from home!), which fixed! Haven't had the issue since!

Hi.
Have you still the link with the picture . I have the same problem an i am afraid , that i can kill my Kaiser
Regards
Dariely

Nope, sorry...

I had a similar issue with my Kaiser. It would charge with a USB cable and an ac adapter but not in the car. It used to but stopped. I took a dental tool and lifted the two little legs inside on the bottom of the mini usb port so they would contact the charger again and all is well.

YEAH!
Great Tip!
had the same issue as you a long time!
tilt up the pins: no more problem!
THANKS A LOT !

I straightened up the last pin. I was beginning to think it was my AC Charger...I plugged it in my Ashtray charger and it charged without a problem. I will see if this takes a charge. I didnt use any denatured alcohol, I just took the compressed air canisters used for computers and cleared out the usb port....
we wait now

Will not charger of wall charger.

My 18 month old Tytn is not longer charger via the wall chager or car charge. But strangely it will charge is connected to the PC. I have tried a few different wall chargers including the original one and also test the wall charger on other charge by USB plug devices.
I have done a hard reset and also re-installed the stock rom.
Any other idea's ?

Same strange thing happens to me since 2 weeks.
No Charge with power adapter, tried different modells.
No Charge in car
But Charge via USB from PC . And Activesync works...
Any Idea would be very helpful.

Same here, no fix, just dealing with it, hoping the charge by usb doesn't crap out.

A few months ago I receive a wallcharger from a friend who had a HTC TOUCH, as I inspected the voltage on my original TYTN II charger and the touch charger I figured out the touch charger would do the job, so I plugged in and for a brief moment the amber light go on, but almost inmediately it went of, so I guess it would not work with my phone.
But I rechecked the voltage and got me thinking what could be wrong, and after messing around a little bit with the charger and the usb plug I found out that for some reason if I plug the usb jack all the way down it doesn't make contact with the phone usb, so I have to plug it half way to make it contact and charge the phone.
Maybe that would be your case.
Good Luck.

in my situation the yellow loading light of the TytnII is even switching on when I connect the power charger . But even after being yellow=loading for a full night .
No Change in battery status
Freecall

My Tilt had a loose Mini-USB connector thing.
:S

OK. After reading people having the same problem I decided to pull mine down and take a look. Expecting to find a blown SM fuse on the circuit board. To my surprise I did not find any SM fuses in that area of the USB plug. While I had it apart I noticed some damage to the USB socket, viewable from the outside without having to pull it apart . I re-assembled the unit and VERY VERY carefully tweaked the damaged pin (pin 1 in my case) with the tiniest sewing needle I could find in the sewing kit. I bent the gold color wire back into a position matching the other 4 and pulled it into a wall charger and it started charging. So the problem in my case was a damaged pin 1 in the USB plug visible from the outside.
Charging is done by the two outside pins.
For the pinouts check out http://pinouts.ru/Slots/USB_pinout.shtml Picture on the left hand side of the screen called MINI is the same as looking at the plug on the tytn from the outside.
While looking at the plug with a magnifier I could clearly see that pin 1 was collapsed into the plastic center part and would not be making contact with the USB charger when inserted.
I will need to take more care when inserting a USB plug from now on and reduce the amount of time I used the plug. I have been geocaching with my TytnII the last few weeks and it has resulted in a lot of plugging in each time when returning to the car. This practice will have to stop for me if I want to get more millage out of my tytnII.

Charging problems with note 4 - both USB and Wireless.

About a month ago my Note 4 stopped charging properly. I thought the battery was just getting on in age but with some troubleshooting I've noticed some symptoms-
#1- No longer shows up as Fast Charger plugged in. Whether it is Quick Charger, Regular 1A Charger, USB cable to Car Charger- it always shows up as USB Charging. This takes about 8 hours for a full charge.
#2 - Phone no longer connects to computer via USB .
#3 - Today I attempted to put a Wireless Qi Charger in, and while I was able to get some charging on a friends note. My Note seemingly is unaffected, even though the Qi Charging comes from the back plates- NOT from the USB port.
I'm guessing my 'charging unit' is damaged. Though I'm willing to hear out any suggestions.
Can anyone think of any components that would make this so?
Right now an external battery charger seems the only reasonable fix.

Help on Charger plug (z2 pro)

Did anyone have this as well? Mostly I charge my phone when it's almost, but not completely, empty. Nothing weird going on. Last night it shut down because the battery was dead. I had put it on the charger and saw that charging had been initiated.
This morning the battery was still dead. As there is no simple way of switching to another battery I got a bit nervous. I their charging it with a couple of chargers, including one of our Samsung tablet (because that one might do 2amp)
Nothing seemed to work until I got to my work and tried again on the charger of my Logitech mouse. Then it started at slow charging, but hey better then no charging at all. I noticed the plug does not go in the slot all the way... Is that normal? I tried 2 USB c connectors and both have this. I have looked into the charger socket but I don't see anything that could block the plug.

Won't charge on some 3rd party chargers

Just got my new 4a5G mostly set up last night and plugged it into my multi-port charger for the night, and found that it won't charge at all. Tried another high-power charging brick from an old samsung tablet of mine and the same issue. My 3XL used to have issues sometimes charging too slowly on these bricks, but at least it charged. I was expecting the newer phone to fix this issue, not make it worse by not charging at all. The included charging brick works, as does the charger from my Samsung chromebook.
Why not use the included charger? Well I have 3 devices that I like to charge next to my bed at night (phone, chromebook, smartwatch) and only two free outlets. Chromebook, needs its own dedicated charger to fully charge overnight, so I typically have the phone and smartwatch plugged into a 4-port charging brick. This thing supports QuickCharge 2.0 on one port and the other ports cap out at 2.0 A, so it should easily be able to deliver a full charge overnight, but the 4a5G refuses to recognize it at all. Doesn't matter if I plug it into the QC port or one of the other ports. What the hell is up with Pixel phones being so picky about what you charge them with?

Update:
So it wasn't the charging bricks, it was the cable. Tried two of the same brand of cable, and they didn't work at all. Tried another USB A to C cable I was using for a different device, and it works! These cables work just fine for every other USB-C device I own. No flaky connections where you have to wiggle the plug in the port to get it to connect. They connect and stay firmly connected consistently on every other device, but the 4a5G just refuses to recognize them at all. So its picky about cables, not charging bricks. That's not nearly as bad, but still annoying.

Indeed! Also to note that I also learned that this phone needs a charger that has Power Delivery technology. I tried using the adapter from my previous phone that had quick charge 3.0 technology but it was not charging rapidly.
