Hi,
I have recently purchased a USB Sync charger for my XDA IIs. After connecting it to my PC's USB port and the IIs I realised that it the phone was actually NOT charging although the display showed "Charging". In fact, the battery was discharging.
A quick search on the web revealed that this was a problem present in the XDa II (but later fixed by an update).
Could anyone confirm whether this problem is present in the XDa IIs as well ?
Also, is there any solution available ? Thanks

I have the same problem I have two usb charger/sync cables and an adapter for the Car so you can charge from the car no combination of any of these works with my MDA III.
Yet the MDA does show charging but as you say is discharging WHAT A PAIN a solution would be great but as for the USB port on your PC and or Laptop it is likely to be the fact that there isnt sufficent current on the port.
Has anyone tried one of the following charge/snnch cables on the Blue Angel?

Judging by the image, the usb sync charger on that page is similar to the one I have and mine isn't working.
FYI, If charging from a laptop, some laptops won't charge anything over USB unless they're on mains power themselves.
Did everyone try similar tests with Desktops?

Just tried it and still says charging but isn't !!!!
Are there any USB cables that just charge the Blue Angel and actually charge it up! Could synch via infra red. Just wanted a USB change cable to keep in the laptop bag.

Just disable USB sync in ActiveSync (File/Connection Settings) on the PC; it'll still charge.
Yes but do these usb cables really charge and does anyone know where I can get a working one in the UK?
Martin Fields USB Sync charger works !
I exchanged the non-functional usb charger with one branded "Martin Fields USB Sync Charger for XDA II" and it finally works.
Hi,
My Veripart USB Hotsync Charger Cable O2 Xda II/Qtek work fine on my Qtek9090 (sync and charge).
I bought it here: www.pdashop.nl.
Succes,

I found a very nice & Slim universal charger on Kensington's site for Notebook, PSP, Ipod (yes I have all this stuff in my backpack...), but a tip for hermes seems to be missing.
Does anybody now a similr device with Hermes tip too?

Basically anything with a mini-USB plug will work.
That's not been my experience. If it connects something to the data pins it will work, if not, it won't charge correctly.
I used my old Motorola V3 wall charger to charge mine for a while, worked fine - thats a standard mini-USB connection. Also used a Motorola V3 car charger, and I've just bought a Brodit car cradle for my device which has a fixed mini-USB which works fine?

Interesting. We've found that unless the charger has pins 4 and 5 bridged ('unused pin' to 'ground') on the mini usb end then the hermes will act strangely. It will start charging the first time you insert but then it might stop and then it won't charge again until you reset it.
The pin doesnt need to be bridged when theres a data source like a pc on the other the end.
Could you check to see if your chargers have those pins bridged or not?

I have not been doing any kind of research about bridging those pins because I just read about it first time, but my experience about charging problems are very similar to yours. My TyTN won't charge normally via USB-hub or car-adaptor, and after failing the charging process, it won't start charging again. Resetting helps after this, but I think that also waiting resets the situation. But that I'm not so sure about.
When I connect it directly to PC, it works just fine.
If bridging those pins helps, my car charging problems are wiped out

Hahah not really, ever tried getting to those pins? They're tiny!

Yes, they are tiny at the other end, but bigger at the other
And if that causes still problems, cutting the wire is not so big deal either, then you can easily connect wires together

Except that pin 4 doesn't have a wire connected to it (only 1,2,3,5) because the other end only has 4 pins

Damn .. then it's not so easy.
But I guess it's still possible, without totally breaking the plug. I hope ...
Interesting. That is exactly the issues I see using a 12V/USB adapter and cable in my car. Well hopefully in 2-3 months when my free vehicle charger comes from Cingular it will have the pins bridged and work properly!!!!
I wonder if the bridged pins and data cause the bluetooth to turn off after a period of time. I see that happen on my phone often when its connected and charging. But disconnected from the 12V/USB charger the BT stays on.
Thanks for testing and posting.
I had this exact problem with my m5000 to, i use a ipod battery extender as a backup for my m3100 as i regularaly find the need for extra power.
Quick work around for this problem is to power down completely by holding the power button. Then plug it in while turned off, wait for charging light to go orange then switch back on, will continue charging then until plug is removed.

V3
So, I don't understand: in the end, does it work or not with an adapter for V3?
If yes I could by that...

If it helps any, I use an iGo universal power adaptor (available from Radio Shack and Expansys) which uses the iTips style device-specific tips. This is very similar to the Kensington system, although I believe the two are now incompatible.
Tip A53 (which is also designed for AudioVox phones) works well for me with my T-Mobile MDA Vario II.

Hi everyone I just have a question, Is my USB Broken? My USB Data connect doesn't work unless I just keep have to changing the position, Sometime if i put it down it only charges , no USB debugging or anything, When I put more force I get the whole mounting SD and I could use flahtool, but my Charger works flawlessly... It has always chargede my phone .. Is it my USB side not working, or is it just my cable ?
Try a different cable. If it works, great problem solved. If not, most likely a broken usb port.

I got nearly the same Problem: my cable at home fits perfect (I can even shake my phone) - but if I use the cable I have at work it always reconnects only if I switch a Song of touch the screen - so I bei it is the cable

Same
Sometimes i accidently drop the phone while charging and that may cause problems with usb cable as internal cables may be damaged- now everytime i move the cable it resets the connection with computer...
My poor X10! Will look after it from now on!
I had the same issue and thought my USB port was bad however when I plugged in my bluetooth charger (also micro USB) it charged my phone.. I bit down a little bit on my usb** cable end to give it a tighter connection and voila.. works perfect now.
** I am not responsible for any broken teeth or accidentally swallowed USB cables, nor am I responsible in general
It turns out the micro-USB standard was designed in such a way as to put the parts that tend to wear out quickly in the cable rather than the device connector. This was done to maximize the number of connects/disconnects possible in the lifetime of the jack. This probably explains why cables stop working over time in some cases. (Perhaps the x10 is particularly sensitive)

Great suggestion! I seem to have revitalized my original cable (for charging anyhow, haven't tried connecting to the computer) with this technique. I substituted a pair of needle nose pliers for my teeth, though.

Yah I have narrowed my search to this error mine is doing the same thing.

try using a different USB cable, or else try to clean the place where usb connects the phone port. Some dust or sticky material might create hindrance.
Hey all, I tried searching for this "usb cable", "can't charge", "unable to charge device", but did not seem to come across anything. Either that or I'm blind...
Well anyway, I left my charger/cable that came with the HTC One (T-mobile version) at the SO's place, so I thought I'd try a usb cable I have at work plugged into the laptop. My phone comes up with a notification saying "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger".
I came across this the first day as well, when I used the HTC adapter and my cable from work. Since then I've only found that the HTC adapter + usb cable that came in the box will work. I haven't tried bundled usb cable with the laptop. Is this for real? Does anybody know what kind of charger/usb cable I should be looking for in case I wanted to get a spare or have an extra set to use?
tl;dr
HTC One adapter + bundled USB cable = will charge fine
HTC One adapter + random usb cable from work = "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger."
Laptop + random usb cable from work = "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger."
Nobody else is experiencing this? I have 4 usb cables here at work and none of them work. Thought they would've been all standard USB cables. Perhaps not eh?
btw these cables I have from work have worked on the Nexus4 previously.
There was a brief discussion about this in a different section. It may pertain to your issue. It is on page 174 (on the xda dev app. I don't know if the pages are different if on the PC)

Thanks for the info...it was on page 174 on the PC too. It seems to be a different issue though, with an adapter that has less than 1A input. My problem seems to come from the USB cable I'm using, since the HTC adapter + my usb cable doesn't work, but HTC adapter + HTC usb cable does..
I borrowed a different usb cable from my coworker and it seems to work in the laptop for some reason. He mentioned that he's heard similar stories like this before which involved different wiring of the power/data lines in the cable or something....in any case I just found it really odd that it turned out like this. As far as I know there's no indication of different types of USB cables...so how the heck would I know which cable to get if I needed a spare!
Not all usb cables are creAted equal..
Perfect example would be a usb cable from an LG G2X
On samsung galaxy s2. Turn the phone off and plug into normal cable.. turn it on.. it charges
Turn the phone off.. plug it into G2X cable.. turn it on.. it puts the phone in download mode.

Just a FYI, the page numbers may be different; one can setup the number of posts in a page in the user control panel. I think mine is set to 50, so I think that might be on page 6 for me if I'm using my PC. It's generally better to link just that individual post to be sure people see it.

ahh that's good advice. Thanks.
For anyone interested, I think this is the first post I saw that was related to it (didn't look too far back to see the post s/he was replying to):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41239399&postcount=1732
There are a few posts afterwards, but in the end I think it was more of an adapter related issue rather than a usb cable issue.
Also, I managed to find another USB cable at home that I hadn't tried yet (it was a cable that came with a portable HDD), and lo and behold it worked when I plugged into my pc. So I guess it's just the usb cables I have at work that for some reason don't want to play nice with my phone. blah.
Recently picked up the v30 and purchased an otg cable to be able to hook my printer to my phone for work (did this on my g4 no problem). First plug shows up and when i plug it in, the phones usb status goes to "power supply" (like im trying to charge another device, not charge my v30). If i changs it to any other option, a second later it changes back to power supply. I thought this was strange as nothing was even plugged into the otg cable. Returned it and got another one of a different brand , same problem. Got a specific cord thats usb c on one end, printer plug on the other side. Same exact thing. All of these cables worked fine on my buddies Motorola, so at this point, i can only assume its the phone. I have tried plugging multiple devices to the otg cables, even getting a usb to micro usb to try my old otg cable and all had the same problem. Verizon sent a brand new phone to me thinking my cable port was bad. It did the same thing as well. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. My work printer is old and the wifi direct sucks to hook up constantly and it likes to disconnect in the middle of printing.

Hi,
I have been having the same issues. I am trying to use the OTG adapter for my Meridian DAC. Ordered through Amazon 2 times, with different sellers claiming compatibility. But no luck.
And to concur with you, I get the identical issue where it switches momentarily to my selection, then Immediately goes to Power supply.

Regarding connecting a external DAC to the V30 I currently have that working with my V30 and my FIIO Kunlun E18. The cable used is below. I know that it's not the same thing that you are talking about because it's not exactly an OTG adapter but it works for my purposes. Good luck to you.

Do I need to change anything in the settings?
Or is it basically plug and play?

It's plug and play but when the DAC is connected it asks you if you want to set a default app to the USB device. Be sure to select NO and just cancel out if window. I was selecting yes when I had USB pro music app installed and it prevented me from hearing anything from LG music player, YouTube,and other 3rd party apps.

I'm also facing the same issue with an otg adapter, exact same symptoms.
Is there any solution other than buying specific otg adapters like the ones listed above?
I've also noticed that my V30 is very picky when it comes to usb connection. I have an usb c flash drive, and if it moves in the slightest, the connection just drops. It also happens with some usb cables that I've tried to use to connect the phone with my pc.
