XDA was working fine - i stupidly plugged in my old Nokia charger to the XDA connector and charged it up - i thought everything was OK.
NOW - the PDA side works fine - but the phone will not work - i can dial a number it will say calling - then say call ended and just stop.
The phone works fine when plugged to the charger - i have tried decharging the battery and recharging from scratch - but no good.
Any ideas?
Should i try and find a new internal battery.
Any opinions will be gratefully accepted
Thanks
Hmm
Hello Fox321.
Can you pls post the technical specs of this Nokia Charger ?
This will surely help our xda-tech-pro's to check this matter.
However, if the PDA side is working well, it let's me a little in doubt that charging will have caused this problem.
Have you already checked to take out your SIM card and re-insert it ?
How about a cold reset ?
Have you looked at the phone settings - Network ?
Can you make a automatic and/or manual Network scan ?
Does it show a"current network" ?
Can you post as well your device informations for the ROM and RSU Version ?
Posting problems adding as much informations about the device and the issue itself will help finding a (possible) quick solution.
How did you manage to plug a nokia charger in to the xda, I never knew you could, all nokias I have seen have an ordinary mini jack plug.
simply just plug the charher (mini jack) into the xda charger (adapter) plug. should be no problem with a nokia 6150 charger. same voltage only a lower amper.
I agree the problem sounds more like a broken SIM. Try using another SIM.
nokiachargers can only deliver 800ma
xda charger gives out 5volts at 1 amp
nokia charger can blast out 4.5volts all the way up to 9.5 volts
so if it did it wouldnt really effect your gsm part of the phonas its charging your battery not the signal lol

Hello,
the folllowing thing happened to me :
- at a certain point i couldn't charge my xda anymore, and so the battery went down. no light appeared when connecting to the charger. and i couldn t start the xda anymore off course.
- i read the articles about the fuse which could be hit; and because i couldn't reach the spare fuse for the external battery, i simply soldered a solder bridge in the place of the fuse, as someone mentioned in another topic. i put everything together, but still, totally dead : no lights.
- now i don't know if this xda is totally lost or if i can do something about it. it could also be the charger which is broken. it doesn't get warm when i put it in the 'wall'. how can i check this ?
- if anybody has hints about what to do next or just trow the thing away, you could make my day ! many thanks in advance.
thomas.
You could try a usb sync charge cable, it maybe the battery has died completely also. Did you test the fuse before bridging the connection? Have you tried using the hard reset button, this is in the hole next to the headphone socket.
- i don't own such a cable, but maybe i can find it somewhere, as the qtek 1010 is not very widely spread in belgium, i could search over the internet instead of a shop.
- i did not test the fuse before removing it and soldering the bridge. which is probably quite stupid of me. the hard reset button didn't do anything and still doesn't.
- the battery could be dead also, but should'nt i see a light flashing when i insert my charger ? so my 'forecast' is that it could be a charger issue.
- maybe i could test it with someone elses charger here in belgium. i live in ghent, so if anyone is from near my place, i am willing tot travel to test your charger. i won't steal it, but then i can buy a new one over the internet. :wink:
if anybody has other testing methods for the charger, please let me know.
a simple question : should the charger get hot when plugged in ? because mine doesn't and i don't know if it ever did.
thanks for your answers ! and hoping to reanimate soon.
The charger would normally feel warm when plugged in.
err my charger's pretty cold actually...
Mine is too now that I checked but it gets warm while charging, my ipaq charger is warm when plugged in and not charging, any idea why this should be.
Can anybody help me with the following ?
i'm quite stuck in the thinking concerning the problem ...
is there anybody in europe who has a tech experience with the qtek 1010/xda and thinks he could arrange the problem i mentionned above ?
or is there anyone who knows such a person, because he had the same problem.
I want to let someone look at it, with, off course, a possible compensation in money. Is there anyone who could tell me how much this more or less could cost ? [because i am a student and use the phone mainly for testing purposes]
Thanks in advance !!! t.
Maybe a friend at college has a simple voltage tester you could use to test the charger output, the charger I have has a removable adaptor at the end of the lead, with this removed you are left with a simple barrel type connector which is very easy to test. If you cannot get a replacement charger and yours is faulty, send me a pm, and I will post one to you.
Anyone in europe who can repair my xda 1 ?
Hello,
i'm still stuck with a broken xda, as described above. Is there anyone in europe who has spare parts of the xda and is willing to repair this item ?
It would be great if anyone could help me. Please let me know what arrangments can be made. I am living in Belgium, Ghent.
thanks in advance.

Hi!
I don't know if this could be helpfull, anyway: If you still think this is a charger-problem, then you could modify your cradle as described in the wiki. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WallabyCradleMod
And another thing as well. I noticed that the main charger is making a loud fuzzing sound when connected to power, so I guess that if your's silent and cold, it might be broken. (Which is not too problematic as it can be easily bought on eBay.)
What power-connectors do you use in Belgium? I have a spare-adapter that I'm not able to use as it does not fit in the Norwegian connectors...
Good luck with the phone!
Same Problem after plugging in my ipaq 3970 gps reciever
I got the Same Problem after plugging in my ipaq 3970 gps reciever, anyone got a clue where to go with this??
iPaq pinouts...
The pin-outs is not the same on the xda and the iPaq, so power in the wrong direction may have damaged the mainboard. And that would be differcult to repair I think!
Does someone know if the HTC shift can be charged via the USB port?
This might allow: 1) use of an external power supply via USB; b) hot swap of standard Shift battery 3) Emergency power in a pinch...
Should it be possible?

No
The shift needs alot more powere than what a usb port can provide, so it's newer going to happen
Yup = the charger outputs 12 v and USB is of course 5 v - Too bad WOuld have been cool to hot swap the battery though...
another charging-related question
My SHIFT has stopped recognizing when the external power supply is plugged in: no orange LED, no icon toggle, no switch to the plugged-in power management profile. The battery charges okay, so I can live with it, but it is annoying. I suspect a component in the charging electronics has failed, but am curious about alternative theories, and if anyone else has this problem.

HTC Red light of Death
Guys,
I am a service tech for HTC. I would like to tell you couple of things.
When there is red right, Battery will not charge with the chargers (Electrical or USB). It will flash with Car Charger as the charge is high in Car charger.
If you see Red light..your Battery is fine. there is no point of changing the battery.
There are two IC in the motherboard of HTC. One is the Charging IC & the other one is Power Consumption IC. You need to Change the Power Consumption IC, which will cost around 10-20$.
Dont follow unnessary steps as it will affect your PDA ROM sometimes.
YOur HTC will work fine for ever.
thank you for your answer

Thumbs up HTC Red light of Death
Guys,
I am a service tech for HTC. I would like to tell you couple of things.""
so you said you are working for htc ? if so i suppose you re not allowed to give us some clues about the very specific clio hardware, like the sd card link with the snap vue side..
anyway i think you are very welcome here!
woooooooow ur welcome here defenatly, at least we can pick ur brains with few things, plz plz plz make our shift upto expectations by giving us clues not solution but pointers for making BT and SD work
looking at his lack of spelling and grammer i think he might be a joker especially his last part " YOur HTC will work fine for ever. " erm he would no thats not true if he really worked for them.
tho i hope im wrong and they can get us a shift that works with the odd lil leak of info.

Hello friend,
I am unfortunate I damaged my Shift when power accidentally went in through the USB port thus damaging the power consumption IC in the motherboard. Unfortunately I dont seem to get the replacement part anywhere. You had mentioned that specific part in the post mentioned and I was hoping that you might be able to assist me.
Here is the thread about my unfortunate Shift..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701950
Car power adapter 15-25 for my htc shift is it possible?
Hi to all.
Yesterday I bought via internet a car power adapter like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/15-24V-80W-Car-DC-Power-Adapter-Auto-Charger-Laptop-/180476771054
But my HTC SHIFT can be recharged with 12volts typical so question is:
CAN I USE 15Volts (minimum output from my new car adapter) to power my HTC SHIFT or is just a little bit more. I suppose max 20% more is just good but not more than this.
I must put a zener diode ... to reduce a little bit or as in your opinion I CAN USE IT WITHOUT PROBLEMS.
Thanks
sullivan2002
Thanks for the idea! I would defenitly put a zener between there just in case. Do make sure you use a high amp zener. I could build a boost converter to get from 5 to 12V but that would cut the amps in more than halve but it could be nice to use an external USB battery to swap my shifts battery. I have 3 battery's so that would be nice. Any idea how much a sleeping shift uses? The converter won't be able to put out more than 200mA becouse of the USB restrictions. Is it possible to keep it from charging when swapping battery? Becose i think that charging uses a lot but a sleeping shift almost nothing(not hibernate).
Guys be very careful when using chargers that are above the Shift's specific power rating. My experience with the Shift confirms that HTC did not think about safety measures when putting the Shift together. I had a small freak accident with the Shift when power entered through the USB port and instead of just blowing a fuse the entire motherboard got fried! You dont want to fry the motherboard coz getting a replacement motherboard is as difficult as swimming across the Atlantic. Ask me how I managed to swim across I will tell you.
So I would advise you to tread very carefully. For me what I did is that I had a 12V, 2A car charger for a different device lying around. I simply cut off the power jack on that car charge and replaced with one similar to the Shift wall charger jack and all is good. Of course you also have to be precise about the polarity. The Shift has several week points that you dont want to mess with
They say that the charger of an EEE PC 901 an the Asus R2H have the same charger as the shift. That is only partially true. The specs on the charger is the same but the shift uses a slightly smaller jack. The eee and the R2H are interchangeble. I have a friend with a 901 and it charges my R2H just fine. Shame becose I have 2 chargers for the R2H and only one wonky one for shiffy.

True it has been confirmed that Shift Charger and eee Pc is one and the same. Only difference is the jack.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502548
So if you have a eee pc or similarly rated charger lying around you can replace the jack and you will be good to go. You can pick the Shift size jack from any elctronics shop. Thats how I managed to rig myself a Shift car charger
Hi new member and new owner of a 4G shift
to answer the OP 's original question of "can you charge off the USB"
it depends on your motherboard, I have a Gigabyte X58-UD4P and with the USB power switches enabled my phone will charge while connected to the USB port
I have 4 PCs set up and my personal rig is the only one that will do this
Now a Lap top is a different story, I would suggest checking with the manufacture
of the Lap top to see if the USB can be used for this function
usb
i charge mine vis pc usb sometimes.
works but a lot slower than the stock charger.
Could you explain if it's necesarry a especial cable or how do you conect the Shift's USB port to a energy usb porwer source?
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had any insights in to this problem I have been having.
Briefly, I have the 4g lte verion on EE's new network. I purchased the official MHL/HDMI adapter which works fine and the video is outputed to my sammy 50inch tv fine. The issue I have is the battery drains while doing so. I belive this may to due to the phone outputting more than it is drawing from the power source. Any thoughts ?
I spoke with Samsung tech and they said a number of people have started to report this issue and they are currently testing/investigating. If this is indeed the case seems a pointless acessory as a long video would possibly drain the whole battery, Im yet to test the full drain time.
Secondly, with a 3rd party docking cradle with spare battery slot which purchased from amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/eLifeStore®-Samsung-Desktop-Charger-Docking/dp/B008PPRGFY) also does not charge phone properly. Even with the orignial charger in the ac port (or usb port) . The phone reports as charging but stays the same or decreases. Charged directly from the socket it is fine. Strange!
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ian
It's common. Mine did that too! I switched to my old S2 charger, problem solved
Thanks Ill try that out, any idea why that works ?

No idea man? A design fault maybe? All I know is that my phone took for f#*%ing ever to charge with the USB type wall charger. I pulled it out of the socket and plugged my other other one in that was sitting right next to it and it started charging? Checked a few minutes later and it had climbed considerably so I pulled the USB cable out of the new plug and kicked it under the bed where it now lays resting not to be used again LOL.
USB plug/cord works perfectly fine? So I use it on the computer. My laptop even charges the phone via the USB cable faster than the socket plug (which is usually the opposite - as I am sure we are all aware). So yeah I would say poor design or defective wall plug or both or something? Wasn't going to send my phone back because of it. 2second decision problem solved Samsung phone is great!
Im having exactly the same problem.
I have an s3 on orange and have the same mhl adapter conected to my tv.
I have tried the charger from my s3 which does says its charging when I connect my phone but only for about a minute so I also tried using the charger from my s2 and that just does exactly the same.
An easier way is to buy the official allshare dongle for your hdtv then you can stream anything from your phones screen direct to your tv and can have the phone on charge via pc or wall socket at the same time,
Hope this helps
i suggest you throw away your original charger (slow charge) and its usb cable (loose - actually caused the extsd to become damaged to the point i had to repartition) and buy yourself a cheap usb cable for data (£2) and a 3rd party charger (pref not a usb adapter one - £5) and all should be fine!
I still experienced a small battery drain while using the mhl adapter, however, i froze a few apps with titianuim (ones i know run all the time like utter and tasker, paragon ntfs, easy ums, directory bind etc), and put it on min brightness - works like a charm. I know its a effort freezing apps but does the trick with my phone... Since finding that out i actually keep paragon & easy ums frozen till i need them...
just a few thoughts for you....
Does anyone know what might cause this? Is it a problem with my USB port? I noticed it with my home and my work wall chargers.
Before I call Verizon (whom it has been reported is out of Rezounds, and I'm unlocked/rooted), I was hoping for some advice.
Thanks.
An update -- now after I unplug it from an actual PC, sometimes the USB/Charge and USB Debugging symbols remain in the Notifications bar. Could that mean the pins on my actual microUSB port are defective? I've now tested with a 2.1A wall unit too, and every charger I've tried has been a new USB cord.
Oh and just to rule out software I tried in Safe Mode too, no help. Anyone have an idea aside from calling up Verizon (which I will do after my long weekend out of town)?
I've developed the same issue on both of mine I've had. My solution was to simply run a kernel with a Force AC Charge option built in. Have to be careful, however, as the option may cause excessive heating of the battery if you do any intense usage under charging status (playing a game, trying to run GPS navigation, etc.) It rarely poses an issue, but just a heads-up.
You should never use your phone while charging it alwYs turn it off and set it down. When you are charging ylur phone resistors and capacitors are heatingbup your phone now if you are on it talking on it basicly you are heating up the whole board and if it gets hit enough it will losen the solder from the joint and may cause a chip creep effect on the board causi ng varios problems that are very hard to troubleshoot

Try a different USB cable. I've had cables that would charge only, no data. Drove me nuts, I thought it was HTC drivers. Swapped cables fixed it.
The charger is presenting itself in a way that looks like USB. This is very common because iDevices will not charge at all unless the charger does this, so if a manufacturer wants to support iPhones/iPads, they make the charger in this way. Unfortunately, Android devices limit themselves to 500mA when the charger is made like this. Yes, many kernels have fast charge options that make the phone ignore this, but my advice is to get a charger made specifically for Android. Use the one that came in your HTC box as a wall charger if you can. Get the Verizon branded car charger...it charges Android devices correctly.
Yeah, there are many chargers that leave the USB contacts active. Thing is, I've had an HTC branded one that used to show AC at first turn USB on me... Everything else shows USB too unless I force AC in the kernel. Seems like some other condition, degradation or something.
Thanks for the responses so far. I have tried three different wall chargers, each with a different USB cable. Other phones show AC but not mine. At the moment, plugged into the HTC wall wart, I am being asked of I want "charge only" or "disk drive".
Could this be a software related issue? It was mentioned that some ROMS have a force - AC but I am on the newest non Global RUU, unlocked S On, and rooted with TWRP as recovery.
Bump -- is there any chance the RUU and then unlocking and putting TWRP on could cause this issue? Verizon is trying to get me to run a factory reset to "fix it".
Ugh.
Hi guys I hope you can help.
I AM OFFERING A REWARD OF £10 GBP TO THE FIRST PERSON WHO SUCCESSFULLY ADVISES OF THE RIGHT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE *.
There, now I have your attention - brace yourself, this one’s a tough one.
About 2 months ago, I flashed DeltaROM 4.2.2 V2.2. I’m a serial flasher so I’m quite aware of what I’m doing. I had some issues with it that I tried to get support from them but they unfortunately didn't get back to/couldn't help me.
The original post is here in case you’re interested, the biggest issue being my S3 no longer charges correctly. If I plug a charger in from the mains, it will not register as charging. Once every 10 seconds or so, it will actually register the charger, but only for about half a second before it drops. It DOES however charge if I connect it to PC, Xbox or car (only wrks in the car if charging from a USB socket, using the in-car charger straight from the cigarette lighter doesn’t work). Basically, I can charge my phone off anything that isn’t directly the Mains electricity.
I’ve googled the hell out of this problem, only to find that posters will quickly dismiss it as faulty hardware; bad USB cable, broken USB port, bad charger, low voltage from mains – anything at all. But the bottom line is I do not have faulty hardware. Everything was absolutely fine until the very instant I finished flashing DeltaROM – I’m convinced something didn’t go right during my first installation since it was a bit rocky (read the original post for details).
After getting no answer from the Delta lot I jumped ship to LiquidSmooth (which is very nice by the way) but the problem remained. In one last attempt I started again from scratch. I used TriangleAway, formatted EVERYTHING (the kind that also deletes all your media) and flashed back to stock. Using Samsung Kies I 'upgraded' the firmware and I'm now on the latest official 4.1.2 release – and it makes me a little sad!
Just to back up the fact it’s not hardware related, I deliberately persevered with it to gather up as much information as I could, and here’s what I learned:
Why I'm sure it’s not the battery.
• I've tried two other batteries (3 total) and the problem exists with all 3
• The health of my battery is excellent
• My battery charges fine in other phones
Why I’m certain it’s not the Charger
• One of my chargers is only a couple of months old
• The charger I have been using is the official Samsung one that came with the phone, though I have 3 more – one BlackBerry one, a charger that came with my s1 (many moons ago) and two the same that came with mine and my gf’s phone. These are the plugs with a USB input on them,
• I have 5 chargers in all – BlackBerry, Nokia, Samsung (x3) ALL of which don’t work with my phone but ALL of which work with EVERY other phone in the house.
Why I’m sure it’s not the wall Socket.
• I’ve tried every plug socket in the house and even taken it to my parents and to work – same story.
• Everything else I plug into the sockets work just fine
Why it’s not a bad USB cable.
• I have 3 that I use. All of them will charge off of the computer, the car or the Xbox – they cease to work when I use them in the mains USB plug.
• They all work fine on every other phone in the house, regardless of if it’s in a mains adapter or a computer
• I am able to connect with all 3 cables to my laptop to view files.
Why I don’t think it’s a damaged USB port on the phone.
• It ‘does’ actually do everything it needs to do when plugged into my pc, Xbox or car. If it’s communicating well with other devices and harbours electricity correctly when doings so, then it can’t be the USB port since the way it gathers energy is the same.
So what gives? How can it be bat hardware if it works from the PC? How can it be bad firmware when I am back to Stock?
Thanks a million guys.
* Telling me to send it off for repair doesn't count. If it's something that I can do at home and it fixes my issue, the first person who gave that advice will be the winner. This does of course mean that if my phone is just downright screwed, there's a chance no-onw will win.

Hi Koogly
Sorry probably should have mentioned this. I tried siyah and set everything to charge as much as it could - AC and USB. I also tried a lot of other 'fast charge' apps to no avail.
While the USB does charge, it's still quite slow at 460mA. Once in a while, the mains charge stays connected, and you can watch the mA level drop. It will start at around 999, but within 10 seconcd it will decrease down to 100mA, which is slower than the phone actually uses up energy.
Nobody?
